I would if I could, but I can't. Either they've disabled their domain name, or my DNS has not been updated recently.
my browser wrote:
"Firefox can't find the server at www.instituteoftimetravel.net"

(Let's assume this is just my local issue for now.)
Google cache has a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Feb 23, 2015 15:55:15 GMT. All I can see is:
text-only cache wrote:

Your browser does not support the audio element.
(Again, I'll just assume this is my local issue for now.)

Not much else I can look into, for now.

p.s. I see the Facebook posts date back to late 2014. Did we miss this earlier? Plus, a search for "Technical Institute of Time Travel" turns up logo merchandise from November as well.

p.p.s. The domain was registered in October 2014 (thru domains-by-proxy so you cannot see the registrant's name).

i found this as well, which i thought had a good explanation:
http://www.iep.utm.edu/time/#SH7a

also curious about c-theory, why that's been left out. i have to chew on it all a bit to think of a question to submit for the chat...

Pretty much this.

Not sure where they are going but I decided to send an email anyway. Should probably check spam folder if anyone is waiting on a reply. Incidentally... The password IS crackable.

 		i think not
according to their blog entry, it appears NO one made the meeting.

Including them.

I guess the servers for the meeting app they were attempting to use, were down or just not working properly.

They said to get skype for the next meeting, if you dont already have it.

 		Did anyone here receive a letter connected to the TIOTT? I just did and it is, kinda, interesting. Are people chatting anywhere about this and the letters they received?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


The letter is dated 6/21/2015 which I am supposing to be June 21, 2015 and seems to point to an image that was posted on the blog site.
