Is time travel real, or did the early internet just fall for the ultimate sci-fi hoax?

We explore his mission to retrieve a vintage IBM 5100 computer, the complex physics behind his C204 Gravity Distortion time machine, and the dark predictions he made about our future.Beyond the sci-fi, we unpack the real-world investigation that points to the Haber family, the psychological "Deep Frames" that made us want to believe, and why this early 2000s urban legend still resonates in today's polarized world.
