Well…

"I reside in the year 4932. My name is irrelevant related to my motive for this communication. I am sending you this recording on my own regard. This message was proposed by myself to authorities but deemed to be unsafe. I do not believe it to be unsafe. I believe it to be necessary. I live in a time and a world that many of you would likely not relate to as ideal. I certainly do not. Time journey has destroyed our will for ambition. Bit by bit, future years are dwindling. When attempting to journey to a future year in which we have previously journeyed upon……"

Best laugh I've had today. I like the ones where they provide out of focus pictures best. We all know that time travelers take horrible pictures.

Oh my. Are we really supposed to swallow this drivel?

So in 4932, they still speak colloquial English? Hands up all of you who speak any language from 896 BC.

You can easily distinguish the speaking voice of a person speaking in the 1940's from certain inflections and slight accent variation, and it's even more telling with the earliest sound recordings. Now if we go back to say 480 BC you're hard pressed to find anything resembling any of the modern languages you might speak or understand. When we look at English speaking countries in Africa or the Carribean we see some serious drift over a period of only a century or two.

We can assume that modern tech may help to reinforce the durability and lessen the drift of languages over time, but something tells me that somebody from 4932 would sound a little off key at the very least.

Voice from the future: When I was in your time I left your car keys in your glove box.

Voice from the present:. They aren't there.

Voice from the future:. I must not have been there yet.

I'm with Rowling,. Time travel is a headache.

Let's say his "warning" succeeds. Then, no one assassinates the future president and, therefore, no one has a reason to send such a warning back in time to prevent the assassination of the future president. If history is in one strand, you can't bootstrap causality. If time is in multiple stands, who cares, everything possible happens anyway.

Ahhh … I'm not buying it …

Sounds like it's leading up to another variation of the Nigerian 419 scam: "Oh! I'm from the future and I've found some old bank accounts from your time that you can claim! All you need to do is wire me X#$$$ to…"
