The science fiction and mystery fans may have heard the name John Titor, a person claiming to be from the year 2036. Now, another man claimed that he was from the year 2256, and he can prove it.
On January 28, 2003, a man named Andrew Carlssin led by the FBI at the request of the SEC (Security and Exchange Commission) for questioning on suspicion of insider trading. Suspicions began when the SEC learned that Carlssin managed to increase his portfolio valued at $ 800 to $ 350 million in just two weeks. He put his portfolio in 126 risk of trading decisions without even fail.
Over the years, the greatest traders on Wall Street suffered heavy losses due to extraordinary market volatility. So when Carlssin experiencing extraordinary gain of 126 trading decisions, traders became suspicious.
In his interrogation in the presence of the FBI, 44-year-old Carlssin explaining how he gained his wealth. He admitted that he was from the year 2256.
FBI says, "We're still trying to extract the source of insiders trading. He will remain in jail until we obtain such information. "
During four hours of interrogation, Carlssin said that he is a time traveler, a man who comes from the year 2256. He said, "I can not help myself, and I have been trying to look natural, making me lose a little here, a little there. But it seems I get carried away with the atmosphere ".
Carlssin admitted that he came from the year 2256 in which the knowledge of the stock market volatility is something so common that anyone who knows the history of the stock market could take advantage of it. To prove his confession, Carlssin provide predictions about the exact date of the invasion of Iraq, and he gave the exact date. Carlssin also offered to tell the location of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS. All he wanted was to freed and allowed to return to a time machine.
When asked, Carlssin refused to tell the location of the time machine or discuss how it works for fear the technology could fall into the wrong hands. Of course, the FBI does not just believe the story of Carlssin. However, a source from the SEC acknowledges that no one can trace the origins of Carlssin before December 2002. Carlssin as if it never existed before.
However, the story does not stop there. The story of Carlssin suddenly disappeared and was never referred to again. Similarly existence. No media is covering it again. SEC and FBI even then deny that they ever catch Carlssin. His lawyer said that Carlssin should meet him for the hearing in court on April 2, 2003, but he did not show up, go away.
Stories about Carlssin that claim to come from the future stems from the news in the tabloid Weekly World News on February 25, 2003, which was later quoted by leading media outlets such as Yahoo news.
In a subsequent article dated April 29, 2003, Weekly World News wrote that they were successfully interviewed Carlssin via telephone, and Carlssin said that he was in Toronto and was setting up a company that will go public in 2007. Carlssin admitted that on March 29, 2003, he was freed by the FBI of kindness from someone who is not known which provide a security deposit of $ 1 million dollars.
At the time of his arrest in 2003, Carlssin is 44 years old. However Carlssin said that until now, he does not getting older at all. When asked what he did during his years were missing, he replied, "No Comment." And about the uproar his caused, Carlssin said, "Timing is everything and everything happens according to time. I'm here now. So this is my time. "
Many people to this day do not believe that one can travel through time or time travel. But the physicists do not agree with them. Students at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) - one of the best science and technology universities in the world have convened physics by inviting all those who claim to come from the future. Einstein and Hawking, two of the greatest physicists of all time believing that people can take a trip through time. Even Einstein who actually started the idea of time travel with the theory of relativity.
In the other hemisphere, precisely in Geneva, CERN - the European nuclear physics organization is conducting an experiment to make mini black holes that can be applied to travel across time. And CERN is certainly not haphazard organization, considering they who invented the Internet (World Wide Web). John Titor, a mysterious purporting to be from the year 2036 claimed that he came from the future via the two mini black holes.
Not quite up there, Ronald Mallet, a physics professor at the University of Connecticut has used Einstein's equations and the laser beam to create a time machine. Even Prof. Mallet predicted that in 10 years, people have able to find a time machine that can be used to travel through time.
Regarding the story of Carlssin, some suspicion arose that the story is pure fabrications of Weekly World News, the tabloid is usually given preach strange stories and apocryphal. But until now, there was no clarification on the truth of the tabloid news. The FBI and the SEC has denied the news and said that the story is pure joke.
What might corroborate this allegation is difficult to find a picture of Andrew Carlssin on the internet. After some searching, I can find a newspaper clipping about this story and photo Andrew Carlssin inside the front view (see photo above). Then the other photos that refer to Andrew Carlssin is a photo beside, when called he was led by the FBI. And even then only show photo looks from behind.
However, if this story is a joke, there should be clarification of the tabloid in question or the classification of the man in the picture in the newspaper clipping above. To date, no such clarification.
Those who call this story a joke, never provide sufficient evidence. So for me, this story is still a mystery.
