About an attorney...I didn't mention that to suggest you should get one. I was making the point that there are many factors that tied into John Titor's story that made it believable.
The mission is for me to acquire land in the western territories...
What state? What means do you have to acquire land from that time period?
It is difficult to believe that your mission was to go back in time 200 years to obtain land and think that your descendants could still retain it 200 years later. There are millions of things that could interrupt your mission/goals during the 200 years between 1840 and 2043.
It is difficult to believe that a 19-year-old would be sent back to the 1800's to acquire land during the period of the
Wild West. There is no guarantee that you would even have descendants to survive 200 years. There are just too many things that could go wrong in a 200-year time span to interrupt your goals. You and/or your descendants (if you had any that survived) could die of influenza, any infections (even a cut, as antibiotics were not available), diseases, or many other things due to lack of medicine that was not available in that time period. Many women and babies died during the birthing process. The average life expectancy was age 40 during the 1800's. Many children died before they reached the age of 5-years-old.
Have you studied the history of the Wild West during the 1800's? Most people had to grow their own food to survive. Their crops were dependent on the weather, i.e., rain and other factors. Droughts forced people to relocate. Farmers used archaic tools that we are no longer familiar with. The labor was hard and difficult. Survival was difficult.
To believe you could travel back in time 200 years on your own Wordline is difficult. If you are telling the truth, then perhaps that is why something went wrong and you were bumped off your Wordline onto ours with a large divergence.
Even if you could go back 200 years in time, according to John Titor, you would not end up on your Wordline...your mission could not be accomplished for the people in your Wordline. He traveled from 2036 on his Worldline to 1975 on our Wordline. What he accomplished here did not affect his Worldline.
John Titor said about his Time Machine that he could not travel more than 60 years with accuracy:
The C204 unit is accurate from 50 to 60 years a jump and travels at about 10 years an hour at 100% power.
The C204 begins to "break away" at about 60 years. This means the level of confidence drops rapidly after 60 years of travel and the worldline divergence increases. In other words, if I wanted to go back 2000 years and meet Christ, there is a better than average chance I would end up on a worldline where he was never born.
Have you had any formal schooling? Have you studied any historical events? Are you familiar with the history of the U.S. on your Worldline since the year 2000? Did the Twin Towers in New York City get destroyed on 9/11/01? If so, who was responsible for it happening?
Can you tell me who the president was in 2013 on your Worldline? Can you tell me the names in sequence of the presidents from 2013 onward?
YOUR TIME MACHINE
What does it look like without going into technical detail? Is it like sitting in a chair? Is it a large cylinder-type? Can it move around, is it portable or does it sit stationary? How large or small is it?
