Episode notes
Prove Time Travel With Lost Artifacts And Coordinates
- Prove you're from the future by pointing to lost-but-now-found artifacts and giving exact locations.
- Michael's slap-bracelet idea lists multiple recovered items (Titanic, HMS Endurance, Archimedes work) with GPS so contemporaries can immediately verify the claims.
Lottery Predictions Won't Convince Skeptics
- Predicting sports or lottery outcomes is a weak credibility strategy because simpler explanations (cheating, insider knowledge) will be assumed.
- Michael notes repeated correct predictions would be attributed to collusion rather than temporal origin.
Physical Tools And Pi Tape Demonstration
- Michael demonstrates physical prototypes: a ruler slap-bracelet and a pi-tape that reads diameters directly when wrapped.
- He shows adult- and child-sized versions and jokes about tattooing measurement marks for permanence.
