Did the Philidalphia Experiment Really Happen?

Here's my take on the world.
If it ain't on CNN it didn't happen.

Well, I don't doubt that they tried such things. In theory at least there may be a way to make it radar invisible doing something similar, the trick is to do it without being a beacon! Someone in Great Britain supposedly noticed an EMR disruption during WWII, and exploited it to create RADAR. As for "concentrating a Tesla coil energy into a beam"? YEP, that has been known for several MILLENIA! They use it a LOT today! It was probably used to BUILD parts of that ship, and is used on MILLIONS of objects. One such object is many cars! It EVEN has a NAME! It is called ARC WELDING! Arc welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YEP! Tesla was smart, and innovative. Supposedly, he could build an entire design IN HIS HEAD, all math solved as well, and just copy down the result to paper. That is nothing to be sneezed at, and rarely even CLAIMED by others. But a lot of what he was doing was not THAT new. The tesla coil, for example, was based on an OLD principle used everywhere!

The guy credited with the basic theories, FARADAY, died when Tesla was about 11 years old. And MARCONI used those basic theories for wireless transfer and identification of low power energy to create wireless transmissions. So what was special about TESLA? HE, again, supposedly in his head, figured out how to have higher power go a farther distance. Faraday showed it was possible, and had it go feet. Marconi transferred lower power for miles. Faraday did a little of both. HECK, ARC welding is basically based on an experiment benjamin franklin did! Benjamin Franklin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alas, the only thing benjamin did with the info was invent the lightning rod. All sorts of things got damaged by all that power, and he simply found a way to control its dissipation.

I can confirm the Philadelphia Experiment might have happened.

I can confirm that Philadelphia Cream Cheese is delicious.

I can confirm I've made more than one Philly Cheese Steak disappear.

Paranormal News - Your source for UFO and paranormal related information.

Sounds like a reliable source to me.

There was a place I lived in Las Vegas where I heard voices coming from the walls. It kind of creeped me out. However, since I'm skeptical about these types of things, I kept an open mind that it could be explained rationally.

After a few years of hearing these voices, one day I had my sliding glass door open and heard the voices from the wall. But I also now heard the same voices coming from outside my home. Again, it was Las Vegas and my air conditioning unit was outside. A couple of people were standing next to the AC and their voices were coming through the ventilation to the inside and was coming out of my wall.

Mystery solved.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but the ships name was the USS Eldridge, which sounds an awful lot like "eldritch" ...which means:

1. suggesting the operation of supernatural influences
2. weird and sinister or ghostly

Coincidence? I think not! The Eldridge was probably the most closely named ship they had to the world eldritch, so that's the one they chose to conduct their weird experiment on. The connection is obvious.

Furthermore, the Eldredge Knot is used by many scientists and government officials when they tie their ties. And Eldredge sounds an awful lot like Eldridge and eldritch! That's just too many coincidences to ignore!!!

Oh, but it doesn't end there. There's a town in Iowa called Eldridge, and I've BEEN THERE! It's about as far from an ocean as you can get in the US, without measuring, but the Eldridge Tide and Pilot book has information on the tides from Halifax to Key West - the SAME coast as where the Philadelphia Experiment didn't happen!!!!!

I rest my case.


Sorry Shane, just having some fun.

Plus there's the fact that everyone is a genius at something. I personally know people who if you give them a guitar, can perform miracles, yet they struggle with the concept of lace up shoes.

As Einstein himself said:

And yes Shane, you too are a genius at something. It's just not the ability to use critical thought to distinguish between fact and fiction

Edit Update: Apparently Einstein didn't actually say that, but it's a good saying anyway.

Something always troubles me about time travel discussions and scientists who claim its theoretically possible.

OK Mr. Scientist...we saw the water between us and the land far away, we figured out how to build a boat to traverse the water so we could reach the island. We saw the sky and built an airplane to conquer the sky and be as birds. We saw the moon and built a rocket to traverse space to get us to that moon.

So...where exactly is the future located? You are talking about transporting physical, biological matter from point A to point B. You have to account for point B. Where is it?

No scientist has ever answered that question.

My step dad, would have been 83 this year, had a friend who (also deceased) was an electrician in the Navy, and said it did happen. Given the depth of Tesla's knowledge and achievements, I am inclined to agree. Just MHO.

In poker and in war, we must always consider the possibility of a bluff. Deception and misinformation are essential in each. It's entirely possible that this wasn't a cover up, but rather a "leak" to make enemies think we had this tech and we should all keep an "open mind" to this possibility.

To me, the most likely thing is that there was an experiment that was a little different but fairly benign and the more people talked about it, the more incredible it became. If anyone actually died in the experiment and word got out, there would have been a lot of National Enquirer type speculation on it. Then you've got Hollywood to further sensationalize it. Serious - how many of you would have ever even heard of the Philadelphia Experiment if there hadn't have been a movie by that name?

Well, Shane - I've spent a few days doing some very interesting research.

First off - yes, it's true that Einstein and Tesla joined up in time experiments at Princeton University. It's also true that they were seeing success and shut the experiments down because the military got their nose open and the two decided results would be used against, instead of for, humanity.

It is also true that the military continued experiments where the two scientists left off.

It is also true that if the Philadelphia experiment did happen, which is not such an unlikely idea, the nature of the experiment and the events surrounding the experiment will very likely never be brought to light. Authorities are experts at burying and sealing info.

I did find some very interesting facts about Tesla - some just trivia, but it seems he was smart enough to be a tad crazy. No surprise there. I know a lot of bizarrely intelligent scientists, not one of who I would consider to be playing with a full deck. Extreme intellect causes quirks, what d'ya do?, LOL.

I also found out that the Supreme Court had accepted a lawsuit by Tesla against Marconi for stealing his work on wave transference for shortwave (I believe shortwave?).

And this one I believe was the most fascinating thing that I saw:
Conversely - I'm not sure of the accuracy of the source, but I did live shortly in Colorado Springs and know that the generator there did, indeed melt down about that time. So............. grain of salt on that one.

Anyway - it's a fact that Einstein and Tesla were dickering with time travel. It's a fact that they made enough progress to shut down because they didn't want military to have the info. Beyond that - it's not clear what went on or didn't. It's also true that our gov has "sacrificed" humans more than once in some very inhumane ways conducting experiments. So this one wouldn't be the first - it wouldn't be the last.

The experiment would not have been for the purpose of testing "invisibility" - I can state that with a fair amount of certainty now. This would have been a transport experiment (i.e. - folding space time). I also think that, in light of the pair's views and theories on space/time that they would proceed to move things in space before attempting to move them into the past or future. And, yes, I realize what I'm saying and that it's impossible to move into/from one and not the other as well, but I think you get the drift of what I"m saying.

I've exhausted my online research and time capabilities on this one at this point. If you want to pursue the issue in any seriousness, here's my suggestions.

1. Research the Princeton library - that's where Tesla and Einstein were working on time.

2. Write to the gov and ask for info on the experiment via the Freedom of Info act. You will have to also research where to send the request. I don't remember. It's online somewhere, though, so shouldn't be hard to find. Expect a fee attached.

3. Find out what small town newspapers were running in the area at the time. Don't bother with the main larger papers in the areas where the ship supposedly disappeared or was seen to appear at - those will have been scrubbed. Sometimes, though, a report in small town papers get missed. A lot of "buried" crap is turned up in this manner. I can't remember where everything I read said the ship turned up, but any small town in that area is likely to have a report about a "strange event" on that day. When journalists used to investigate stories instead of being handed what they are to read, that was one of the most reliable method of turning up otherwise "hidden" info. Someone usually drops the ball on this type of cover up somewhere. Again - expect to pay for the paper's time and effort. If the paper is no longer running (which most won't be), call the local library and ask where the paper's archives are held and proceed from there.

Sal,

That is truly fascinating.

It is also complete bullshit..

Tesla left his lab in Colorado Springs in 1900, and it was torn down and its bits and pieces sold off in 1904 to pay off debts.

The Tunguska (not Siberia) Event took place in 1908.

You spent a few days to come up with that, and I spent a few minutes with Professor Google to debunk it.

Disappointing Sal, very disappointing.

Fair enough, I did miss that part of your post.

I stand suitably chastened.
