be the same as our future. Like he said, in his future Y2K was a big deal but in ours it didn't do anything. He said you can't go back and change things in the past because when you go back to the "past" you are in a different reality than you came from so changes would only occur in the universe where you make the change, not in your universe when you go back to your future.

His posts are all available online and he uses this logic throughout, so either he knew it would be impossible to debunk so that's why he used this interpretation of how "time travel" could theoretically work during his hoax or it is the truth. Either way, you can't point to what he says happened in his future as a way of debunking his story because he admits readily that they won't match up. He says the only good reason to go back in time is to get items from the past (such as the IBM he went back ton 1975 to get) but changing things in hopes of changing the future would be futile.
