Time Consumes All Things (Latin saying)
Time's a Devourer: A Strange Linkage to John Titor
Hear ye, hear ye! The ominous Latin phrase, "Tempus Edax Rerum," translates to "time devours all things." It's a phrase that carries a chilling message about the inexorable passage of time. Now, let's dive into the web of strange connections it shares with the infamous internet time-traveler, John Titor.
The first whispers of this enigma surfaced on November 19, 2009, in a YouTube video titled "John Titor Letter 177 tempus edax rerum," posted by user lryhaber. The video hinted at a mysterious website, registered on April 22, 2009—www.johntitorfoundation.com—emblazoned with the intriguing phrase: "177 Tempus Edax Rerum - Good Luck, John." Fascinatingly, it also boasted a table of dates and alleged amounts of worldline divergence.
As the video's narrator, a mechanized voice, spun the yarn, it suggested that John Titor wasn't a one-of-a-kind time traveler but rather multiple Titors operating under the same alias. The narrator claimed that they converged in 1999, only to find another Titor there. With a touch of macabre ingenuity, they devised a way to return to their original timelines by bouncing through separate points in time and measuring divergence.
In the video, our narrator declared, "As I write this now, the date is March 22, 2009, and the divergence is 1.941." To keep their rendezvous a secret, they left clues in the form of the original faxes sent to Art Bell and online posts. The video claimed these clues were "signposts" for their lost brethren seeking their way back home.
"Every time someone posts about John Titor after 2001, they will become more permanent and easier for me, or the other John, to find," whispered the video. "If the other John, or even another John ever arrives in your future, trying to get home, he will now see the numbers he needs in the posts. If he were to hear this message, he will know what to do."
But the veracity of this video remains a murky question, as it only insinuated a tenuous link to the original John Titor who surfaced in the late 90s and early 2000s. The video also stated that it was penned on March 22, 2009, leaving us unsure if it bares any genuine connection to the original John Titor.
