Nikola Tesla's Warnung vor dem Philadelphia-Experiment & Zeitreisen

On October 28, 1943, the day dawned over the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Like every morning, there was a calm that deceived over the chaos that prevailed on the coasts of the city and beyond. This year, the participation of the United States in World War II reached a feverish peak when an evil sea battle broke out in the Atlantic between Allied ships and German submarines. The seriousness of this conflict meant that October 28 was not just any morning in Philadelphia, but the high point of months and years of strict secret research by the US government with the intention of conquering the survival of the navy once and for all. Obviously, the US military, with some of the best scientists in the world, worked on a new technology, with men like Nikola Tesla and Albert Einstein, who would make their ships invisible, a kind of camouflage device from the pages of science fiction novels. All that was left to do was to check whether their calculations were correct to test whether the technology would actually work. This test was known as the Philadelphia Experiment. There, in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, stood the USS Eldridge, a ship equipped with large generators and other strange devices, which confused unpredictable crew members. At a pre-determined hour, the equipment was activated, the powerful generators turned on. Suddenly, a bluish-green fog began to cover the Eldridge, and in a flash of light, the ship disappeared and disappeared into thin air. A short time later, the Eldridge unexpectedly reappeared over 320 kilometers away in Norfolk, Virginia. A fact that was confirmed by the crew of the USS Andrew Ferrucet, which was anchored in Norfolk that day. Then, as suddenly as the Eldridge appeared, it disappeared again, before it miraculously reappeared in Philadelphia. Incredibly, the Eldridge, whatever happened on her journey, actually traveled back ten minutes in time. Scientists and military personnel in Philadelphia hurried to the ship in a crazy confusion to find out what had happened. What they found were scenes of unimaginable horror. Crew members covered in terrible burns, some actively covered in flames, others had gone mad, screaming and wailing without context. The most disturbing thing was that some crew members were actually embedded in the steel hull of the ship, melted, still alive, and body parts protruding in grotesque angles. You don't see something like that in the evening news. Whatever happened on this fateful day in Philadelphia, the government allegedly caused the project to give up and to try to delete all records about the Philadelphia Experiment that ever existed. And they would have been successful, if it weren't for an eccentric author named Morris K. Jessup and the peculiarities of the circumstances. In 1955, Morris Jessup wrote a book entitled The Case for the UFO, which spoke of antigravity, electromagnetism and prehistoric super-science, which made him a kind of celebrity among conspiracy theorists. Accordingly, in 1956, Jessup received the first of more than 50 handwritten letters from a man named Carl M. Allen. In the letters, Allen claimed that on the day the Philadelphia Experiment took place, he had been a member of the crew of the USS Eldridge. He described how the ship had been teleported through time and different dimensions, and what Allen called aliens. Shocked by what Allen said, Jessup tried to repeat the claims and asked Allen to provide physical evidence. But since he couldn't find anything tangible to confirm the story, Jessup seemed to give up and have to turn Allen into another spinner. That is, until 1957, when Jessup was contacted by the U.S. Navy and asked to travel to Washington to a meeting with high-ranking government and military officials. Apparently, the Office of Naval Research had received a package that contained a copy of Jessup's book with a series of handwritten notes that were engraved in it. The notes spoke of extraterrestrial technology and time travel. While the handwriting of the notes should give the impression that they were written by three different authors, Jessup immediately recognized that all three came from Carl M. Allen. After intensive interrogations, Jessup left Washington and returned home, confused by the interest of the Navy in such incredible and unreasonable claims. Even more strange is that the Navy shortly thereafter actually published 127 copies of Jessup's book, including Allen's handwritten notes. Then, in 1959, hardly three years after his correspondence with Allen began, Jessup was found dead by an obvious suicide. While Allen sent letters to his friends and family many years later, in which he described his experiences with the Philadelphia Experiment in detail, the story disappeared from memory, ignored, forgotten. Just another conspiracy theory. The history of the Philadelphia Experiment actually goes much further back than 1943 and concerns some of the greatest minds in history, including the legendary inventor Nikola Tesla. At the beginning of 1895, Tesla experimented with how space and time could be influenced by electricity and magnetic fields. In March of the same year, the New York Herald published a curious story in which a reporter had found a wrecked Tesla alone in a cafe one afternoon. I'm afraid, Tesla began when he was greeted by the reporter, that you will not find a pleasant companion in me tonight. The fact is that I was almost killed today. The spark jumped a meter through the air and hit me here on the right shoulder. If my assistant hadn't turned off the electricity right away, that might have been the end of me. He described to the reporter how the impact of the electric spark had torn about 3.5 million volts out of his space-time window. I could see past, present and future at the same time, he explained. It seemed as if Tesla wanted to say that his experiments had led to a kind of foresight or perhaps a kind of time travel. In the 1930s, Tesla was already working a legend at the University of Chicago and conducted experiments in which he tried to make a body invisible by electricity. This was the work that was to become the basis of the Philadelphia Experiment. In 1939, the work was submitted to the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies. There, Albert Einstein and other top scientists reported on the project. Until 1941, Tesla and these scientists worked explicitly for the US government on the project. It was Tesla and his team who allegedly made the calculations, created the technical specifications and even the massive generators for what was to become the Philadelphia Experiment. But then, before the experiment took place, Tesla suddenly withdrew from the project and allegedly warned of a safe disaster if the project progressed, of a personnel problem that would be the result. Tesla, a passionate human friend as he was, could not bear the terrible consequences that he had foretold for the crew members of the USS Eldridge. So he canceled the project after he had done everything to prevent the experiment. Of course, the US government, in the middle of a global war, did not give up the research into which it had put such resources. Instead of canceling the project, they handed it over to John von Neumann, a brilliant man who, unlike Tesla, was not burdened by moral reservations and did not hesitate, out of caution, to throw everything over the pile, as he had proven in his work on the Manhattan Project, the construction of the atomic bomb. Whatever happened under Neumann's leadership, whatever happened during the Philadelphia Experiment in 1943 or not, in the same year Nikola Tesla died alone in his hotel room in New York City. Almost immediately after his death, his room was searched by US government officials. All his notes and other documents were collected and sent directly to the FBI. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described Tesla's work as top secret. In fact, so secret that the FBI, as a court proceeding from 1952, decided that Tesla's nephew, the heir to his legacy and thus a legitimate owner of all his personal belongings, including his notes, did not send him the 80 boxes that were collected, but only 60. What happened to the rest of Tesla's work? And what could these secret notes contain? It was speculated that Tesla was working on a kind of death ray, which the US government needed for its war efforts and wanted to keep secret. But maybe it had something to do with the Philadelphia Experiment, something to do with Tesla's gloomy warnings before he left the project, and the ability to see the past, present and future. The question remains to this day, what kind of secret knowledge did Tesla have? And who else could have had it? If we look at old writings and stories, we find many interesting cases of time travel. Some Hebrew traditions tell the story of the prophet Jeremiah and a little boy named Abimelech. Prophet Jeremiah was sitting with some of his friends and there was a little boy, his name was Abimelech. And Jeremiah said to Abimelech, Go out of Jerusalem, there is a hill, and collect a few figs for us. The boy went out and collected the fresh figs. Suddenly Abimelech hears noises and wind in the air and he becomes unconscious. After a while he woke up again and saw that it was almost evening, so he ran back to the community and the city was full of strange soldiers. And he said, what's going on here? What happened to Jeremiah and all the others? And an old man said, that was 62 years ago. As incredible as this story may seem, it is by far not the only one that is included in the texts of old civilizations that seem to refer to time travel. There is something similar in Christian and Islamic traditions. A story that is known as the Seven Sleepers or alternatively the Cave of Alkaf. In this story, a group of young people hide in a cave in 250 AD to escape persecution. When they emerge from the cave, about 300 years have passed. Of course, these types of stories are not limited to the stories from the past. Look at what was known as Lordburg Door outside the city of Lordsburg, New Mexico. According to locals, the door is a door hidden in the desert, a portal that crosses space and time. Over the decades, many stories have emerged in which UFOs are described that come through the door. In fact, it is said that in front of the door there is a tree stump with a human bone embedded in it, which was left behind when someone stepped into a tree directly from the door. This reflects again what was said about members of the crew of the USS Eldridge after the Philadelphia Experiment. Embedded in the steel hull of the ship. Is what happens at the Lordsburg Door something similar to Philadelphia? Or do you think of the Bermuda Triangle, this notorious area off the southeast coast of the United States between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, where many ships and thousands of people have mysteriously disappeared over the years? Reports by pilots about sudden collisions and energy impulses that come out of nowhere or the failure of electronic devices do not sound too dissimilar to descriptions on board the Eldridge during the Philadelphia Experiment. This kind of reports at least goes back to Christopher Columbus, the famous discoverer who hundreds of years ago, when he first reached the Bermuda Triangle, documented huge fire pillars in his records that fell into the sea. Do you remember the combustion of the Eldridge crew members? But maybe modern stories about anomalies and old myths are not enough to convince us of the existence of time travel. Maybe we need more solid evidence. Many would assume that U-parts, i.e. displaced artifacts, come into play here. A missing artifact that, due to the period in which it was discovered, does not make any archaeological sense. Many examples have emerged over the years. In 1991, archaeologists in Russia found a series of smaller, coil-shaped artifacts in the Ural Mountains, between 20,000 and 318,000 years old. They were coils, spirals and waves of copper, tungsten and molybdenum. Scientists concluded that they cannot occur naturally, i.e. they must have been produced. In fact, scientists argued that the pieces reflected the components of modern nanotechnology. How could this be possible, with artifacts from tens or even hundreds of thousands of years ago? Similar, perhaps even more dramatic examples have appeared elsewhere in Russia. For example, outside of St. Petersburg, where archaeologists discovered a strange fossil, which turned out to be a kind of machine consisting of hundreds of toothed cylinders, whose metal parts formed a mechanism. Incredibly, it was dated to over 300 million years. On the other side of the earth, there was the discovery of the Klerkstorp spheres in South Africa. These were small balls that were almost 3 billion years old, and yet their fibrous inner structure and their complicated design, within hundred thousandths of an inch of absolute perfection, led researchers to the conclusion that the spheres must have been produced by intelligent beings. There are some who argued that the existence of local artifacts indicates a kind of prehistory, advanced civilizations and technology, which have been lost to the recorded memory. Others believe that the earth was once visited by advanced extraterrestrial life. Perhaps they were not extraterrestrials, but time travelers. Look at what archaeologists found in Crete in 2017. There they discovered, petrified in the earth over 5 million years ago, a trace of human footprints. It should be noted that the human foot is unmistakable and flat, especially compared to our ancestors, the primates. The human foot has no claws and the sole of the foot falls flat on the ground. The most important thing is that the big toe aligns with the other toes, in contrast to other primates, where the big toe, like the thumb of a hand, protrudes to one side. In other words, the footprints found on Crete were clearly and shockingly human. How could this be possible? Human footprints from a time when humans did not yet exist. How? Unless people traveled back in time. The good news is that when examining the question of time travel, you do not have to rely on hypotheses and assumptions, or on conspiracies or myths. No, you could simply rely on the field of science. But let's first examine a story from India. In the old Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, which was written around 400 BC, there is the story of a king named Kakutmi, who had to find a husband for his only daughter. As fathers sometimes do, King Kakutmi realized that no one was good enough for his little girl. Desperately, the king and his daughter traveled to the kingdom of the gods to ask the god Brahma for advice. When they arrived, Brahma was listening to a music performance, and so they had to wait. When they finally got an audience with Brahma, the king made his proposal. He asked, I have come to you to ask you about this point. I have searched for many princes, and I have seen many of them, and I do not like any of them, and so my mind is not at peace. To this Brahma laughed and answered, O king, the princes of whom you thought you would become the bridegroom of your daughter, have all died. Their sons and grandchildren and their friends have all died. The time, Brahma explained, varied on different levels of existence. In the short time that the king and his daughter had waited for an audience in the kingdom of the gods, 27 Chatur Yuras or 116 million years on earth had passed. The interesting thing about this story is not the alleged truth or their absence, but much more how exactly their conceptualization of time reflects modern science and in particular the work of Albert Einstein. In his special theory of relativity, Einstein described how time is relative to the reference system of the observer, i.e. depends on the movement of the observer and the strength of gravity. In other words, time would pass differently for a person in space than on earth, as is the case for King Kakutmi in the kingdom of Brahma in the Mahabharata. The story of King Kakutmi, which was written almost 2,500 years ago, illustrates what modern scientists call time dilatation. This is often expressed with the likeness of the twins, as described in Forbes magazine. One twin stays at home while the other makes a back and forth trip into space, where he travels at almost light speed for ten years, according to the twin who stays at home. When the traveled twin returns, she realizes that her sister is ten years older, while she is barely aged. The traveled twin has jumped into the future for ten years. In fact, time dilation is not just a theory, but a proven and observed fact. In the 1990s, the Russian cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev spent a record time of 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes in space on board the International Space Station. When he finally returned to earth, scientists found that, due to the speed of the space station relative to the earth, he had traveled 0.02 seconds into the future. Ten years after his theory of special relativity, Einstein expanded his thoughts through his theory of general relativity. There, Einstein described the fabric of the universe as four-dimensional space-time. According to Einstein, time and space are formable, that is, they react to the existence of matter by stretching, bending, stretching and pulling together. In this way, space-time can be folded, resulting in a shortening between two different places. A phenomenon known as the wormhole, simply a funnel with two ends that appear at two different points in space-time. Einstein's thoughts on general and special relativity formed the basis of modern time travel science, which has gone through many incarnations since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1937, a Scottish physicist named Willem Jacob van Stockholm turned the theory of relativity to what he called frame-dragging. In essence, Stockholm argued that by using an infinitely long and extremely dense cylinder and its rotation like a hairdresser's bar, the cylinder would be used to pull space-time with it. In such a situation, a path can be created in a four-dimensional space-time that begins and ends at the same point. This was described in 1949 by Kurt Gödel as a closed time axis curve, that is, a journey through time in which you go on a path and return exactly to the moment you started. A bit like flying so far west that you're back in the east. In the 1980s, scientists like the theoretical physicist Kip Thorne constructed theories about how a wormhole could be held in place while the other was moved at a speed close to the speed of light to create a time machine. In modern times, scientists have further expanded the work of their predecessors, developed theories about time travel and perhaps brought the once considered impossible act closer and closer. In fact, in 2020, most major news agencies reported a major breakthrough. An American astrophysicist named Ron Mallett had apparently found a way to travel back in time and had not only written a mathematical equation for it, but actually built a prototype. That means he was not only dealing with hypotheses, he had actually built a time machine. Based on Einstein's general theory of relativity, Mallett suspected that if you can bend space, there is a possibility that you can rotate space. In Einstein's theory, what we call space also includes time, which is why it is called space-time. Whatever you do to space, time also happens. Mallett's prototype used lasers to generate a circulating beam of light, whereby the space within the laser ring was rotated, as if a cup of coffee were stirred. According to Mallett, it should be possible to change space and time with sufficient laser intensity and a sufficient small space. He describes that if the space is rotated strongly enough, this linear time axis is turned into a loop. If time is suddenly turned into a loop, which gives us the opportunity to travel back in time. It is interesting to find out what Mallett brought to this incredible, potentially groundbreaking research. As he described, when I was 11, I came across the book that changed everything for me. It was The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. The Time Machine was written in 1895 and produced generations of science fiction books, films and TV shows. In other words, even a high-ranking thinker like Ron Mallett, a man who works with concepts that most people can't even imagine, is sometimes driven by a childlike amazement at the possibility of time travel. This feeling that we all get when we read Wells or see the future for the first time. There is undeniably a kind of romance in the idea of time travel, which the genius appeals to as much as ordinary people. Just think of Stephen Hawking, perhaps the greatest thinker of our time, who advocates a childlike obsession when it comes to time travel. In 2009, Hawking organized a party at the University of Cambridge completely with balloons, a large buffet and champagne on ice. Hawking in the smoking room cleverly explained, I like simple experiments and champagne. To understand the experiment he was talking about, you just have to look at the invitation to the party. You are cordially invited to a reception for time travelers, which is organized by Professor Stephen Hawking, held at the University of Cambridge, Gonville and Chaos College, Trinity Street, Cambridge. And he added the width and length, as well as the date. It was crucial that Hawking sent the invitations to the party after it had taken place, so that only potential time travelers could participate and added to the invitation, no answer is required. While Hawking was waiting with a glass of champagne, he explained, I hope the copies of the invitation in one form or another will last for many thousands of years. Maybe one day someone who lives in the future will find the information and use a wormhole time machine to return to my party and prove that time travel will one day be possible. Unfortunately for Hawking, no time travelers showed up at the party, although this did not change his mood. What a shame, he joked. I had hoped that a future Miss Universe would walk through the door. Maybe most of you are thinking, if time travel is possible, why has none of us returned in time to win the lottery and become a millionaire? Well, there is an interesting story about a man who could have done exactly that. Not in the lottery, but on the stock market. In March 2003, the FBI arrested a 44-year-old man named Andrew Carlson. He had just experienced the happiest run on the stock market in history. In just two weeks, he made $ 350 million out of an investment of $ 800. Of course, this aroused the attention of the authorities, but instead of the usual denial, Carlson shocked the FBI with a full four-hour confession. He was not an ordinary insider trader. His 126 risky trades paid off because he always knew that they would pay off. Because Andrew Carlson was a time traveler. 250 years into the future. At first, Andrew's confession was not believed. A spokesman for the Securities and Exchange Commission said, we don't believe this guy's story. He is either a madman or a pathological liar. But the fact is that with an initial investment of only $ 800, within two weeks, he had a portfolio worth over $ 350 million. Every trade he did benefited from unexpected business developments that simply couldn't be pure luck. If the share of a company has risen due to a merger or a technological breakthrough that should actually be secret, Carlson somehow knew in advance. He could only do this with illegal insider information. He will be put in a prison cell on Rikers Island until he agrees to give his sources a price. But Carlson never gave his sources a price. In a request for review, Carlson subsequently offered to report historical facts such as the residence of Osama Bin Laden or a cure for AIDS, only if they let him return to the future. It is not known whether he gave these secrets a price, although the FBI was determined to transfer him as a liar. However, before December 2002, no records of Carlson's existence could be found anywhere. It was as if he never existed. On April 2, 2003, Andrew Carlson suddenly disappeared on his way to a trial and was never seen again. His story was covered up and never mentioned again in the media. The SEC and the FBI disputed that it ever happened. Another interesting incident occurred in 1998, when Art Bell, moderator of the popular American late-night radio show Coast to Coast AM, read a fax to his listeners that he had received. When he did, an incredible story emerged. The author of the letter, a man named John Titor, claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036. He explained that time travelers were invented in 2034 and described in great detail how it was done. The episode of Coast to Coast AM caused a stir before it quickly became forgotten. That is, until the year 2000, when a series of unusual posts appeared on early Internet forums written by a certain John Titor. The very first of his posts began with Greetings, I am a time traveler from the year 2036. I'm on my way home, after I got an IBM 5100 computer system from the year 1975. Through future posts, he expanded his story. According to Titor, the IBM 5100 was needed in 2036 to debug devices, but there were simply no more at the time. Apparently, the 5100 was able to read an old code that was written before the use of APL and BASIC. Interestingly, IBM has since confirmed that the 5100 actually has a unique function that enables it. A fact that IBM has kept secret for many years and that John Titor could not know for sure. So how did he know about it? And even more important, if he really came from the future, what else did he know? Through his Internet posts, Titor revealed a series of predictions, perhaps revelations about the future. He claimed that the United States would break out in a civil war in 2004, which would lead to the splitting up of the country into five factions that would no longer belong to the United States. He claimed that the Third World War would break out in 2015 and that the world would be sought by the Rinderwarnheim. In other words, he was probably not a real-time traveler, as this prophecy proved to be false. Except that Titor said the following in one of his posts. As far as the future is concerned, its world line differs by about 2.5 percent from mine. This is a roughly cumulative measurement that is based on my arrival in 1975. As far as I can judge that now, they point to the same events that I would call my story in 2036. Look at Titor's predictions with this background once again. No, an American civil war did not break out in 2004, except that George W. Bush was re-elected president this year, when millions demonstrated against his war in Iraq on the streets. This was perhaps the beginning of a period of increasing civil unrest, which led to Occupy Wall Street, to Black Lives Matter and to Donald Trump. A period in which the USA are now more polarized than ever, split into regional and political groups. Perhaps Titor's claim was more correct than it seemed, but he was certainly mistaken about the beginning of the Third World War in 2015. Except that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States only a year later and his government started a trade war with China. Should there be a third world war, it is very likely that the two world powers, the USA and China, will play an outstanding role. Maybe a trade war is just the opening salve to a real war, or maybe an economic war with the existence of nuclear weapons is the only war that can still be waged. After all, Titor's prediction that the world would be sought by the cattle farm. This should perhaps be understandable for those who live in a devastated world. Maybe John Titor really knew what the future would bring. Cleaned up by about 2.5%. Could he really have been a time traveler? It is interesting to go back to the words of Al Bilek, the man who claimed to have belonged to the crew of the USS Eldridge during the Philadelphia Experiment. He described how during the time he spent in the year 2137, doctors told him that most of the west and southeast coasts of the United States were under water. Thirty years after Bilek made this statement, many scientists resign with the fact that this will be the inevitable consequence of climate change. It is impossible to know whether men like John Titor or Al Bilek were actually time travelers. It is impossible to know how much truth the stories of modern conspiracies and old texts actually contain. But one thing is certain. If modern scientists want to discover the secrets of time travel, they should perhaps hurry, or there may not be much more to travel. Thank you for watching.
