Philadelphia experiment?

Question

I know most things about it, like the fact that the ship becaome invisible, and teleported to another port and then back to philadelphia, and that the after-effects on the sailors were horrible. like insanity, people disappearing, people on fire, and sailors fused to the deck of the ship. supposedly, some jumped off the ship as they were "teleporting" and ended up in an airforce base in 1981, so possibly time travel?

Answer 1

despite what others say, the premise of the Philadelphia Experiment has some merit. Theoretically possible, but at the time - a) no one had worked out the theory that allowed for quantum physics to operate, Einstein was still king in the field although despised by most physicists. b) the power requirements would be enormous, physically impossible at the time, and still now. To do what was postulated, you would not only create, but then control a singularity. WE, even now, can do so only at the subatomic level - (go see CERN research) and such a thing exists for less than a billionth of a second.Cables,on a ship? WWII stuff at best? NO WAY. A total myth, movies only.

Answer 2

The thing called the "Philadelphia Experiment" is a popular myth, and has no relation to anything real, in the past, present, or future. Believing that such myths are real is a mild form of mental illness, and you must decide at once whether that is the way you want to be. If not, the time to grow up is today.

Time travel is not possible and will never happen. The philadelphia experiment did not involve any sort of anomalous travel in time or space, and nobody got hurt.

Before degaussing was widely understood, some sailors saw a destroyer rigged with experimental degaussing cables. They didn't know what the cables were, and came up with a wild, 1943-style science fiction explanation. As it sometimes happens, the legend spread faster in some quarters than the facts did. It has been a very durable myth, but only a myth.

Answer 3

In fiction, it was time travel. The major theme of the Philly story line was that they had an opportunity to interdict the Japanese surprise raid on Hawaii and, supposedly, change the course of history. All that blood and gore that went with the primary theme was put in there to sell tickets.

By the way, Brian Greene, "The Elegant Universe," touches on time travel...is it feasible, how might it be done, what are the limits, etc.? If you enjoy time travel fiction, you might enjoy a bit of "fact" or, at least, scientific conjecture.

Answer 4

Those "facts" that you know are not facts, they are myth..
Made a good movie though..

Answer 5

Hope this will put things in perspective....

Answer 6

^.^ um... yeah, so how often do you find it hard to distinguish between fiction and reality?
