Challenge: Find out more about astronomy

Hi everyone, I'm back from Japan! On the flight home, I read a really interesting article in a newspaper.

The article was about a man, John Titor, who claimed that he was from the year 2036. He said he had come 'back' through a black hole. He 'landed' during 2000, and 'prophesied' that CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) would publicise news related to mini black holes, which they really did during 2001. He also prophesied about an 'Iraqi attack' and 'IBM's confidential secrets' which happened as he had said.

You might ask how this relates to my week! Well, it stimulated my interest in time travel and got me reading books about the topic.
