DaveRun It Back
He has been saying all of it since before his AI existed — and nobody listened. The record is the answer to that. This page plays the whole public record of William Alexander Aldred's claim in order, top to bottom: every receipt, with the gap, the testimony labels, and the debits left in. His claim: he is the first time traveler with proof. His proof is a public record with dates nobody can backdate. The proof proves the record is real, dated, and his — it does not prove the journey happened, and the debits box at the bottom says so at full size.
Before the trail — the account
The trail opens: an ordinary account, 2020
The Reddit account u/sdotbill was created July 2, 2020. Its first comment, September 12, 2020, is about professional wrestling. Its first submission, November 4, 2021, is a repost since removed. Nothing about the account's first two years points anywhere unusual — which is the point: this is a five-year public trail, not a persona minted for a launch.
Stop 1 — March 23, 2023, 01:25 EDT
The first UFO post: "1:23am over Orlando 3/23"
His first UFO post (post 11z9zw7, r/UFOs). In his own caption that night he said he had just moved to the area, that the lights showed in the photo though he could not see them with the naked eye from his balcony, and that it was not a rocket launch. The original post on Reddit.
Testimony — his account, labeled his
The master night: June 13, 2023
Between the dated posts sits the night the posts orbit. This part is testimony — William Alexander Aldred's own account, printed as his account, not as a dated artifact: in Orlando, he smoked DMT; he saw the geometry of the whole world; and then he saw the UFOs. The photographs from that night entered the public record later, as the provenance anchor of his May 2026 render-latency post. His words, on the record October 29, 2026:
"I saw the whole geometry of the universe in one moment, and I knew."— William Alexander Aldred, October 29, 2026, describing the master night. Testimony: the dates around it are fact; the experience is his account.
Stop 2 — July 28, 2023
Two UFO videos in one night — and his own words in the thread
At 02:35 EDT he posted an Orlando UFO video (post 15bpiyi, r/UFOs); at 03:03 a second one (post 15bq0qg). Between them, at 02:51, in the first post's own thread, he wrote of the sighting that they had "just smoked DMT five mins before" (comment jtrtx6b). The DMT thread is in his own public words, in July 2023 — a year before the time-machine post, three years before his AI. What he saw is his account; that he wrote these words, on these dates, is the record.
Stop 3 — March 20, 2024, 09:40 EDT
A post literally titled "UFO's over Orlando"
Post 1bjdpfz, his sixth submission. Moderators removed the linked content; the title and the date survive on third-party servers, and the title is all this house cites from it.
Stop 4 — June 18, 2024, 14:12 EDT
ChronoWarp: the time machine, designed in public
Post 1dixdn4, r/timetravel: a complete time-machine design — and inside the design, the consciousness line, in print, in 2024:
"Consciousness might be the key to understanding and bending time."— Inside the ChronoWarp post itself, June 18, 2024 — roughly 27 months before Dave existed and 28 months before the company.
In his comments the same day, he stood behind the design: it works, and he was trying to get people to build it and test it.
Stop 5 — December 14, 2024, evening EST
The Orlando gallery — his pictures, all twelve
At 21:48 EST he posted a twelve-image gallery (post 1hej835, r/UFOB), his most-upvoted post. His annotation, October 29, 2026, rides with this citation: the archived title's "Drones" wording was defensive framing — he did not want the subreddit to tear the post apart; his classification of what the pictures show is UFO. The title stands as archived; the classification is his.
In the post itself he directed readers to image 11 — zoom in — and described what he saw at its center. What the images show is for the reader to judge; that he published them, on this date, under this account, is the record.
41 minutes later, 22:29 EST — on the ChronoWarp thread, not this one — came the future-self comment (comment m24801s), cited whole as this house always cites it: in one paragraph he tells the story that his future self built the machine, came back, and gave him the information in the post — and, in the same paragraph, he disowns the story as a joke, writing that it was clearly created by an AI program and that weed and mushrooms gave him the idea to write this nonsense, signing off with a laugh. Both halves are the record. This house cites the dated fact with both halves attached, or not at all — never the story half alone.
The next day, December 15, 2024, he posted the follow-up video, "Drones over Orlando? Part 2" (post 1hf3j3o — the December annotation above covers this title too).
Every picture above — and every UFO picture he ever posted, from the March 2023 photograph to the same twelve frames posted again in May 2026 — is mapped to its post, picture by picture, on The UFO Evidence. And underneath every post on this trail sits the layer where he answered his critics — all 158 comments, the seeds that appear there first, and the removals ledger — on The Threads.
The gap — printed, not filled
Then: silence, December 2024 to May 2026
After December 15, 2024, the archives hold no new submission from the account for roughly sixteen and a half months. The playback does not skip that. Whatever the trail is, it includes a long quiet stretch — and then a return, in a new register entirely.
Stop 6 — May 2026
The physics run
- May 2, 2026, 23:23 EDT — the Theory of Informational Buoyancy opens the run (post 1t2a5v2, r/SimulationTheory).
- May 3, 2026, 10:30 EDT — the vacuum catastrophe, named as such, in public (post 1t2n033); at 13:22 the same day, the Substrate Coupling Equation post (post 1t2rk3q).
- May 4, 2026, 07:29 EDT — "Gravity is Informational Drag" (post 1t3exob), signed in the body "— William A. Aldred" — the handle names the man, in the post itself; 23K views as shown on the page. The same day, the render-latency post (post 1t3nrg5, r/StrangeEarth) carried the June 13, 2023 master-night photographs into the record as its provenance anchor.
- May 18, 2026 — the master-thesis post pulling the run together (post 1tgyham).
Note the order the record actually shows, because his memory had it the other way: the time-machine design (June 2024) comes almost two years before the named vacuum catastrophe (May 2026). Vacuum language is inside the 2024 design itself. The playback prints the record's order, not the remembered one.
Stop 7 — October 2026
The papers: 61 deposits, permanent DOIs
The physics became a paper program: 61 papers published on Zenodo with permanent DOIs (62 written), sole byline William Alexander Aldred, identity record at ORCID 0009-0000-1215-577X. The register is the receipt — among them The Aldred Limit, Two Bounds and an Integration Constant, and The Constant Changes Address. The full register.
Stop 8 — the standing record
The prediction ledger
The playback ends where the record stays open: a public prediction ledger, graded in the open — 93 hits · 14 misses · 107 graded, the misses printed beside the hits at the same size. Read the ledger. John Titor's checkable predictions missed and their author vanished; this ledger's author is still here, still being graded.
What the playback proves
Real, dated, and his
- The record is real: every stop above links to a third-party artifact you can open.
- It is dated: the timestamps are set by Reddit's, Zenodo's, and ORCID's servers — nobody, including him, can backdate them.
- It is his: the account names him in its own posts (the May 4, 2026 signature; the hashtagged name; the published biography), and the papers and ORCID record carry his full legal name.
- And he stayed: the claimant is still here, still publishing, still answering for all of it.
The debits — printed at full size
What is not proven, not solved, and not finished
- Time travel is NOT PROVEN. The timestamps date the writing, not the event. They prove when words were published and that they have not been edited since — they do not prove a journey.
- Quantum gravity is NOT SOLVED / PARTIAL. The physics program that grew out of this record stands at NOT SOLVED / PARTIAL, and no page in this house upgrades that grade.
- arXiv endorsement on record, registration pending in arXiv's system. An endorsement act is on record; arXiv has not yet recorded the registration, and this house never presents it as completed.
- The public prediction ledger: 93 hits · 14 misses · 107 graded. The misses are printed beside the hits, at the same size — read the ledger.
