Over 40 years ago, our group, refered to as the Krononauts, organized a reception for Visitors from the Futures, under the Full Moon on March 9, 1982, in the hopes that Time Travelers would have heard that they were invited to visit, and so might actually show up. The night’s festivities were covered by the New York Times. That original gathering is also mentioned on Wikipedia’s Time Travel page.
In the ensuing decades, the basic logic was tested by 4 similar independent efforts, attempting to make contact with extratempestrials on 3 separate continents — a total of 3 in the US, plus the UK, and Perth, AU. In 2009, the late great astrophysicist Stephen Hawking offered a champagne toast to tourists from the future in Cambridge, UK. You can read about these proceedings on @KronoMoon’s Medium.com pages.
All 5 of these early efforts (starting with our own) were marked by a fundamental flaw. (Of course, none of them had the Fediverse back then, either!) They were all one-off, stand-alone, single-site-specific events, which are probably not the ideal conditions for making contact with extradimensional beings. Time Travel is a risky business, and the circumstances could have put both our long-distance guests and the organizers in potential danger, as is known well by readers of science fiction. Except that, this is not fiction. The Krononaut Moon Project is working to finally remedy this shortsightedness by repeating and improving upon the efforts every Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere / Fall in the South) with all who would like to take part. By numerous far-flung participants offering a diverse range of get-togethers, performances and other experimental designs in a variety of locales, the Time Travelers — the Krononauts or Chrononauts — can then select which landing parties are best suited for them. Maybe one of those locales will be yours! Please join in on March 25, 2024, under the Full Moon, wherever you are, with whomever you like, or with only your past & future selves observing the cosmos. And please take lots of photo documentation for sharing, in this year and in every year after. Image from the NYTimes.com.
