I think it was just a typo, personally. J and M are right next to each other and all.

[Melkor]

Yeah he just changed it.
It's good that's nothing. If we had to find bits of information like this all the game, things were going to get a bit paranoic...

New blog and video on Foo's site...

Plus, an open request for answers to questions from the future! Interesting...

DR. Vishnu

Vishnu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Vishnu (IAST viṣṇu, Devanagari विष्णु), (honorific: Sri Vishnu) also known as Narayana is the Supreme Being or Ultimate Reality for Vaishnavas and a principal manifestation of Brahman in the Advaita or Smarta traditions.

The Puranas describe Vishnu as being the color of clouds (Dark Blue), four-armed, holding a lotus, mace, conch and Sudarshana Chakra, and as part of the Trimurti, responsible for the sustenance of the universe. The Puranas are also the main source of information regarding Vishnu's avataras or descents on to Earth, nine of which are described as having occurred in the past with one to happen at the end of Kali Yuga. The Bhagavad Gita mentions their purpose being to rejuvenate Dharma[2] and also describes the Cosmic Form of Narayana[3].

Something have been bugging me about the timestamp at the end of the video (20362511_1111)

I'm assuming it's representing November 25, 2036 at 11:11am. It seems an odd format, but I'm assuming it's useful for something to do with computers (since no countries use that format).

My problem is that Foo is talking about problems that delayed his rebroadcast (for almost the whole day) and yet when it got posted on YouTube, it was around 2am on the 25th, CST.

Posted a question on Foo's blog to ask the future that will hopefully shed some light on the situation...is it 30 years exactly, or isn't it? If it isn't, why aren't we getting messages out of temporal order or from other times (and are we)?

[djsampson]

Thats a good question if defenseCorp (or Foo) has had the ability to contact himself from 2006 on. How come we are only recieving transmissions from 2036?

[djsampson]

[notgordian]

Sorry, I'm being dense here, djsampson.

Wouldn't the message at the end qualify as a timestamp? It's a time code included by the sender to verify the moment it was sent. If I'm still wrong, what word would be better?

The odd part I was referencing was using year/day/month, which seems counterintuitive.

[Wang Guantao]

Year / day / month is a half reversed danish format.
In Denmark we normally write dates as Day / month / year.
When I name directorie on my computer at uni for my thesis i usually prefix them with a timestamp of the year / month / day format, since then they'll show up chronologically ordered, nomatter what year etc it was stored.
Both of these formats have their own merrits in my view.


I think the year / day / month _ time format is simply an artistic choice since it makes "fun" time stamps. But as I've already shown dating things depends on country (and thus culture in a way), and since Foo seems to be a foreign student at UTD maybe the used format is linked to his roots?

Another thing struck me when i watched the Vishnu clip though. Both Vishnu and Leviticus have had their message delivered ontpo of fairly loud instrumental music (especially vishnu).
Does anyone recognize those songs? They could be significant, or random garbage; I don't really know, i just know i don't recognize them

Also, so far the doctors that are talking to us from the future have taken religious names. Leviticus and Vishnu being the Old TEstament and a Hindu God respectively. Maybe we'll get to hear from Dr. Brahman, Dr. Atman and the likes. Maybe from even more "Exotheric" religions.

[Wabonan]

I guess im not in power in the future..cuz I would have sent myself the lottery numbers.. the future be damned.. It sux being poor. I think the dates were wrong because it doesn't come from the future... these guys are being played

[Arkaham]

Maybe it eas resent further back onto the past. So the original message was sent from 2036 to 2006 Saturday. Someone on Saturday intercepted the message and sent it to 2006 Friday, since Foo was reciving at that date, he would be able to get the message on friday and then again on saturday, having twice the data.

But why would someone hack hackthefeed and then send the info back to Foo?

[djsampson]

My theory on the double feed, is someone changed the future. Even if it may be a slight change as Foo has stated. DR. Vishnu said that any changes made in the past could alter the info being sent back to us. So what if we are being sent information from two different times. Both alternate times would have sent the info on that day just slightly different data.

Foo needs to post both pieces of data so we can analyze the change. Maybe there is something to that or its just me rambling on about space time continuum's again.

P.S. Ask your beloved Foo about 2012.

[Wabonan]

Lol this is really new info this time. Unless Its on the Brackin thread

I sent Foo this

[notgordian]

Sweet, that means I was half right on the puzzle. Great work, Wabonan. Too bad the second to last line doesn't just list the last names of the other people.

I think that means we have two people to try and contact--one of the first "three" (to find out what the thing he found is) and one of the last two, for where he's going.

Alexis still hasn't signed into the YouTube account since it was created, unfortunately. As the third person listed, the "knowledge" factor makes him potentially invaluable.

[Wabonan]

Oh I got a responce from Brackin
I sent
