1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,160
Secret military programs,
2
00:00:03,290 --> 00:00:05,950
warping space and time.
3
00:00:06,870 --> 00:00:09,500
A mysterious device,
with the power
4
00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:12,000
to peer into history.
5
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:15,830
And places on our planet
where the past,
6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,080
present and future exist
all at once.
7
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:24,500
For thousands of years,
humanity has been captivated
8
00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:28,660
by the idea that man might
one day travel through time.
9
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:31,620
Some of the world's greatest
scientists firmly believe
10
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:36,500
that this extraordinary feat
is theoretically possible.
11
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,830
But what if time travel
is not just a theory
12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,790
but has already happened?
13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Is it really too far-fetched
to think
14
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:48,450
that certain people
have managed to journey
15
00:00:48,580 --> 00:00:52,080
through the fabric of time,
whether by design
16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,580
or perhaps by accident?
17
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:59,660
Well, that is
what we'll try and find out.
18
00:01:14,370 --> 00:01:18,500
Human beings experience
time moment by moment.
19
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:21,620
We spend our lives
following the steady,
20
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:23,830
one-way march of the clock
21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,580
as we make our journey
from birth to death.
22
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:29,290
But what if it's possible
23
00:01:29,410 --> 00:01:32,790
to take a different path
through time?
24
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,000
The great mystery of time
is that time and space
25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,120
exist independently of us,
26
00:01:41,290 --> 00:01:45,080
but we view it
in social and cultural terms.
27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,290
For example,
we divide our day up
28
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:51,950
into work time and leisure time.
29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,290
And we have
transportation systems
30
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:59,580
which have embedded timetables
and time zones in our head.
31
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:04,160
And so the notion of time travel
has always been popular
32
00:02:04,330 --> 00:02:07,370
because the idea of
escaping time,
33
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:10,330
of being able
to step outside of time,
34
00:02:10,450 --> 00:02:12,750
is hugely attractive.
35
00:02:12,910 --> 00:02:16,000
The tantalizing
prospect of traveling through time
36
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,500
has long captured the
public's imagination,
37
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:23,120
making it a frequent subject in
pop culture and entertainment.
38
00:02:23,290 --> 00:02:25,790
Our modern fascination
with time travel
39
00:02:25,870 --> 00:02:29,330
can be traced back to the
work of author H.G. Wells,
40
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:33,620
and his groundbreaking
novel The Time Machine.
41
00:02:34,950 --> 00:02:38,660
In 1895, the book
The Time Machine
42
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:40,660
by H.G. Wells was published.
43
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:45,160
And the impact that this
had on Victorian society
44
00:02:45,330 --> 00:02:47,370
was incredibly deep,
45
00:02:47,540 --> 00:02:51,160
because it gave
the scientific world
46
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:56,500
the idea that we could
indeed travel through time.
47
00:02:56,660 --> 00:03:01,160
What makes H.G.
Wells' story, The Time Machine, unique
48
00:03:01,290 --> 00:03:04,120
is that he had a
mechanism, a machine,
49
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:07,000
that you actually constructed,
it could control time.
50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,660
That was different from
all of the other stories.
51
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:13,660
Ten years after the
publication of The Time Machine,
52
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:18,290
in 1905, physicist Albert
Einstein shocked the world,
53
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:21,250
when he published a
revolutionary theory,
54
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:26,250
which suggested that time
travel is scientifically possible.
55
00:03:26,410 --> 00:03:29,120
What Einstein said is that
we all think of ourselves
56
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:30,620
as moving along a
straight line of time
57
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:33,160
from the past,
present to the future.
58
00:03:33,330 --> 00:03:37,290
However, Einstein's
special theory
59
00:03:37,410 --> 00:03:40,410
can allow this straight line
of time to become twisted
60
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:44,540
into a loop and
cause time to be bent.
61
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,540
And so that allows us with
the possibility of time travel.
62
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:51,160
Could the laws of
physics really allow us to travel
63
00:03:51,370 --> 00:03:54,580
to any point in
the past or future?
64
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:59,120
And if so, is it possible
that a real-life time machine
65
00:03:59,290 --> 00:04:01,750
may have already been invented?
66
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,290
At the height of World War II,
67
00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:12,290
the Atlantic Ocean was
a dangerous battleground,
68
00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:14,790
where German
submarines frequently
69
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,330
targeted American ships.
70
00:04:16,540 --> 00:04:19,450
To help protect Allied vessels,
71
00:04:19,580 --> 00:04:22,450
the United States
Navy reportedly initiated
72
00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:25,330
a top secret program
that became known
73
00:04:25,450 --> 00:04:29,410
as the Philadelphia Experiment.
74
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:36,790
The Philadelphia
Experiment is a series of
75
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:39,000
secret military projects
76
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,080
which took place in 1943
77
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:44,290
in a Philadelphia shipyard.
78
00:04:45,370 --> 00:04:47,700
At that time, the Navy
was really interested
79
00:04:47,870 --> 00:04:50,200
in camouflaging its ships.
80
00:04:50,370 --> 00:04:52,830
The original idea
that the Navy had
81
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,120
was to actually make
the ship radar invisible.
82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,290
The Philadelphia Experiment
involved a U.S. Navy destroyer
83
00:05:04,450 --> 00:05:08,160
that underwent the most
strangest of experiments,
84
00:05:08,370 --> 00:05:11,500
with the concept being
85
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:16,500
that if the ship were
surrounded by incredibly intense
86
00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,000
electromagnetic fields,
87
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,120
could it distort our
vision of it enough
88
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:26,200
that it became invisible?
89
00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:30,290
As the story
goes, on October 28, 1943,
90
00:05:30,410 --> 00:05:33,700
government scientists
wrapped a fully crewed ship
91
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:36,080
named the USS Eldridge
92
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,870
in a cage of
electrified copper wire
93
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,120
and began the experiment.
94
00:05:43,290 --> 00:05:46,330
But then, everything
went terribly wrong.
95
00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:50,040
Supposedly,
after the switch was thrown...
96
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,290
all hell broke loose.
97
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:55,870
The ship was encased in fog.
98
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,370
Everyone
was running around the decks,
99
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:01,290
screaming in panic mode.
100
00:06:01,410 --> 00:06:03,620
No one knew what was happening.
101
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:08,790
At that point, the USS
Eldridge vanished in green mist,
102
00:06:08,950 --> 00:06:14,290
only to reappear in the
Norfolk, Virginia shipyard,
103
00:06:14,450 --> 00:06:17,830
disappear again, then
about three hours later,
104
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,660
reappear in Philadelphia.
105
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:24,750
This was witnessed by a merchant
mariner called Carl M. Allen,
106
00:06:24,910 --> 00:06:30,620
who claims that he saw
it vanish in a green mist
107
00:06:30,790 --> 00:06:33,790
before returning
to the same spot.
108
00:06:33,950 --> 00:06:37,540
And then, in Virginia, some
people witnessed the ship
109
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:39,370
appear there and
vanish there as well.
110
00:06:39,540 --> 00:06:41,500
So, what is going on here?
111
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:45,290
Even more astonishing
than the ship's vanishing act
112
00:06:45,450 --> 00:06:47,620
is that when it
returned to Philadelphia,
113
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:51,540
the crew appeared to have
sustained devastating injuries.
114
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,500
When the ship was boarded,
115
00:06:54,620 --> 00:06:58,410
it was found that the sailors
were in horrible condition.
116
00:06:58,540 --> 00:06:59,950
Many were dead
117
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,000
and others were found to be
118
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,290
embedded in the bulkhead
of the ship, still alive.
119
00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:11,200
Some of the crew
seemed to be almost frozen in time
120
00:07:11,370 --> 00:07:14,370
or stuck within
parts of the ship
121
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:17,000
and unable to actually get out,
122
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,830
which seems to suggest
the alleged teleportation,
123
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,330
involved with the
Philadelphia Experiment,
124
00:07:24,540 --> 00:07:27,330
that it had actually
warped space-time itself.
125
00:07:27,540 --> 00:07:29,700
According
to reports that surfaced
126
00:07:29,870 --> 00:07:32,160
years after the
catastrophic experiment,
127
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:34,910
the USS Eldridge was
not only transported
128
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,540
across hundreds of miles
129
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,160
but it also seems to
have somehow traveled
130
00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:42,410
decades into the future.
131
00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:47,000
Allegedly, the ship
was actually catapulted
132
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,250
through time and space,
133
00:07:48,410 --> 00:07:50,290
a completely unexpected result,
134
00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:53,660
appearing at various locations,
135
00:07:53,790 --> 00:07:57,660
like Chicago in 1969,
136
00:07:57,790 --> 00:08:01,080
and Lake Mead in 1983,
137
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:04,830
only to disappear
and to continue
138
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,370
across the time
stream uncontrolled.
139
00:08:07,540 --> 00:08:11,830
The Eldridge just randomly
skipped across time
140
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,120
achieving a rough
form of time travel.
141
00:08:15,250 --> 00:08:19,200
Some of the accounts of
the Philadelphia Experiment
142
00:08:19,370 --> 00:08:22,750
actually came from some
of the families of the sailors
143
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:26,830
who had volunteered to be
part of the initial experiments.
144
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,870
What had happened
was that afterwards
145
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,660
these sailors had been
declared dead... missing in action.
146
00:08:33,830 --> 00:08:36,200
So it was a disaster
all the way around.
147
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:39,330
Did the U.S.
Navy conduct an experiment
148
00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:43,660
that unexpectedly
resulted in time travel?
149
00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:46,250
Some say the proof
lies in a number of letters
150
00:08:46,450 --> 00:08:48,580
written by the key
eyewitness of the event,
151
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:53,080
merchant mariner, Carl M. Allen.
152
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:56,250
Carl Allen had
written a series of letters
153
00:08:56,410 --> 00:08:59,500
to a author by the
name of Morris Jessup.
154
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:02,500
Allen wrote to
Jessup talking about
155
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:06,290
the Philadelphia Experiment,
and Jessup included
156
00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:08,500
the series of letters in a book
157
00:09:08,660 --> 00:09:11,250
called The Case for the UFO.
158
00:09:11,410 --> 00:09:14,660
Afterwards, Jessup
was contacted by
159
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:17,660
the Navy, the Office
of Naval Research,
160
00:09:17,830 --> 00:09:22,540
because somebody had sent
them a copy of Jessup's book.
161
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:27,040
And the Navy decided
to cover it up completely
162
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,500
and said that it was all a hoax,
that nothing had ever happened.
163
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:35,830
Jessup felt that this
was a confirmation,
164
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,540
that the Philadelphia Experiment
had actually happened.
165
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,620
Now, of
course, we certainly have
166
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:48,040
no absolute knowledge about
what the United States was up to
167
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,200
relating to time travel.
168
00:09:50,370 --> 00:09:56,330
But the possibility should
not be seen as science fiction.
169
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:58,830
If the USS Eldridge
170
00:09:58,950 --> 00:10:01,790
really did travel
through time in 1943,
171
00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:04,540
then the U.S. military
clearly wants to keep it
172
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:06,910
a closely guarded secret.
173
00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:10,750
And some claim that the
government further experimented
174
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:13,450
with time travel
during the 1960s,
175
00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:15,660
as part of a top secret project
176
00:10:15,870 --> 00:10:20,250
that sent people back in time.
177
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:30,000
27 million
people from around the globe
178
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,160
flock to the city
for the World's Fair.
179
00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:35,330
The exposition showcases
180
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:37,540
a number of
remarkable innovations,
181
00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:40,040
and the fairgrounds
are illuminated
182
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,500
with 100,000 light bulbs.
183
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:46,830
The sea of glowing lights
transforms night into day
184
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,910
and astonishes the public,
most of whom have never
185
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,870
witnessed anything
like it before.
186
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,830
This dazzling spectacle
was made possible
187
00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:59,870
by a new form of electricity
called alternating current,
188
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,500
which was one of the
many important inventions
189
00:11:03,660 --> 00:11:09,040
developed by famed
Serbian scientist, Nikola Tesla.
190
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:13,450
This period around the
end of the 19th century,
191
00:11:13,620 --> 00:11:15,040
beginning of the 20th century,
192
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,250
was the zenith, really,
of Tesla's career.
193
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:21,950
He became famous.
194
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,620
Tesla was the man
who could see the future.
195
00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:27,750
He was "Mr. Electricity."
196
00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:30,870
Everything that Tesla
did was directed towards
197
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,250
this kind of overriding goal
of spectacular new inventions
198
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:38,200
for electrical transmission.
199
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:41,580
Nikola Tesla
is widely considered to be
200
00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:45,660
a scientific genius who
changed the course of history.
201
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:48,410
But there are those who
believe that Tesla should
202
00:11:48,580 --> 00:11:53,450
also be credited with an even
more extraordinary invention...
203
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,410
a time machine.
204
00:11:57,580 --> 00:12:01,160
In 1943, Nikola Tesla died
205
00:12:01,330 --> 00:12:03,870
and left all his notes at
the New Yorker Hotel.
206
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,330
When he died, the FBI
raided Tesla's rooms,
207
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:09,910
took the notes,
208
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,790
and in the notes
was a whole series of
209
00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:17,910
speculative diagrams.
210
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,330
Allegedly, the United States had
access to time travel technology
211
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:25,040
from a number of papers
212
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,700
taken away from
Tesla's apartment,
213
00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:32,330
which gave details
on how to create
214
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:34,160
a teleportation device,
215
00:12:34,370 --> 00:12:38,660
and with teleportation you
could also have time travel.
216
00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:42,120
Did the U.S.
government really seize plans
217
00:12:42,250 --> 00:12:45,870
for a teleportation device
designed by Nikola Tesla?
218
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,750
And if so, is it possible
they used this information
219
00:12:50,910 --> 00:12:54,120
to build a working time machine?
220
00:12:59,370 --> 00:13:03,160
Young Andrew Basiago
is taken by his father
221
00:13:03,330 --> 00:13:05,830
to visit a nearby
manufacturing plant.
222
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,330
Little does Andrew know
that this factory conceals
223
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:13,620
something truly extraordinary.
224
00:13:13,790 --> 00:13:18,080
I was six years old
in winter of 1968,
225
00:13:18,250 --> 00:13:21,750
when my father
took me to building 68
226
00:13:21,950 --> 00:13:24,790
at Curtiss-Wright in
Wood-Ridge, New Jersey,
227
00:13:24,910 --> 00:13:27,830
and there on the
floor of building 68
228
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,500
was a Tesla teleporter.
229
00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:32,660
It was basically a large device.
230
00:13:32,830 --> 00:13:34,830
It went all the way
up to the ceiling
231
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,120
and had two booms that were
roughly about eight feet high
232
00:13:39,330 --> 00:13:41,790
and ten feet
across on the floor.
233
00:13:41,870 --> 00:13:43,910
They looked essentially
like elephant tusks.
234
00:13:45,580 --> 00:13:47,200
Between them was
a form of energy
235
00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:49,910
that was sort of cascading
between the booms,
236
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040
or armatures, of the device.
237
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,580
Jumping through that
radiant energy caused
238
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:58,160
a holographic
white tunnel of light
239
00:13:58,370 --> 00:14:02,250
to open in time-space.
240
00:14:02,370 --> 00:14:05,080
They were testing the
effect of Tesla teleportation.
241
00:14:06,450 --> 00:14:09,250
After witnessing
the Tesla teleporter in action,
242
00:14:09,410 --> 00:14:12,910
Andrew Basiago claims that
he was recruited by members of
243
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,870
a shadowy military
organization known as DARPA,
244
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,370
to participate in a secret
time travel program
245
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:23,750
called Project Pegasus.
246
00:14:23,870 --> 00:14:27,080
Project Pegasus was a
classified defense-related
247
00:14:27,290 --> 00:14:29,290
research and development
program of DARPA.
248
00:14:29,450 --> 00:14:31,910
They were essentially
training and testing
249
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,790
American schoolchildren in
eight modalities of time travel.
250
00:14:35,950 --> 00:14:39,500
There were 140 American
schoolchildren of my age
251
00:14:39,660 --> 00:14:40,950
who were in the program.
252
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,200
We were also trainees
because we were expected
253
00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:45,450
to become America's first
generation of chrononauts,
254
00:14:45,620 --> 00:14:46,830
or time travelers.
255
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,330
According to Andrew Basiago,
256
00:14:49,450 --> 00:14:54,830
the Tesla teleporter was used
to send chrononauts back in time
257
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,540
to observe, and even
influence, historical events.
258
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:03,170
A chrononaut essentially
was a time travel agent
259
00:15:03,370 --> 00:15:05,500
in the sense that I
wasn't just involved
260
00:15:05,660 --> 00:15:06,750
in testing and training.
261
00:15:06,910 --> 00:15:10,160
I had missions
when I went there.
262
00:15:10,330 --> 00:15:12,870
I was sent to Ford's
Theatre to see, for example,
263
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,910
who shot Lincoln,
264
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,290
and I was also sent to meet
General George Washington
265
00:15:18,370 --> 00:15:21,160
with the mission to
urge him to immediately
266
00:15:21,370 --> 00:15:23,830
retreat his troops
from New York Harbor.
267
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,950
There was always sort of a
very expert educational session
268
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,160
where they would
sort of acclimate us,
269
00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:31,660
so we'd understand what
was gonna happen next.
270
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,330
While some may
find Andrew Basiago's story
271
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,160
hard to believe,
272
00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:40,660
during the Cold War, the
United States government
273
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:43,910
conducted numerous
bizarre experiments.
274
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,500
These programs involved
everything from mind control
275
00:15:47,660 --> 00:15:50,160
to remote viewing.
276
00:15:50,330 --> 00:15:53,370
What this story
really plugs into is
277
00:15:53,540 --> 00:15:58,500
the widespread suspicion about
the military-industrial complex.
278
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,370
The idea that the military are
279
00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:04,000
conducting experiments
behind our back,
280
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,790
and it's a widely held view that
governments around the world,
281
00:16:08,950 --> 00:16:10,540
particularly the United States,
282
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:14,410
have been researching
time travel for a long time.
283
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,790
Andrew Basiago
insists that his story is backed up
284
00:16:18,910 --> 00:16:20,950
by more than rumor and innuendo.
285
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,830
He believes that there's
photographic evidence
286
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,040
which shows that he
traveled back in time
287
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,160
to observe President
Abraham Lincoln
288
00:16:31,330 --> 00:16:34,040
deliver the Gettysburg Address.
289
00:16:34,250 --> 00:16:37,120
I traveled to
Gettysburg on the day Lincoln gave
290
00:16:37,290 --> 00:16:38,690
his famous Gettysburg
Address there,
291
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:41,370
which was November 19 of 1863.
292
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:44,290
My objective was essentially
293
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:46,950
watching President
Lincoln give the address.
294
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,950
But I was getting so
much attention by people
295
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,540
right up against the dais...
296
00:16:50,700 --> 00:16:52,410
Some ladies from Gettysburg,
297
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:55,450
several Union officers
protecting Mr. Lincoln...
298
00:16:55,580 --> 00:16:58,950
That I literally intentionally
walked away from the dais
299
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,330
and there I was photographed
300
00:17:01,540 --> 00:17:04,000
standing by Lincoln
at Gettysburg.
301
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,080
Lincoln can be seen a
tiny, small image of him,
302
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,000
a few pixels, over
my right shoulder.
303
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,660
Now, it's called the
Josephine Cobb image,
304
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:19,290
because that's the photo
analyst at the Library of Congress,
305
00:17:19,450 --> 00:17:23,080
Josephine Cobb, who
took a magnifying glass
306
00:17:23,250 --> 00:17:26,450
and found Lincoln
in the photograph.
307
00:17:26,620 --> 00:17:29,500
But the paradox of
time travel is such that
308
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:31,160
that photo was discovered
309
00:17:31,290 --> 00:17:33,450
ten years before I
was born in 1961.
310
00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:37,450
So when I left to go to
the Gettysburg Address
311
00:17:37,660 --> 00:17:41,200
of Abraham Lincoln, that
photo of me in Gettysburg
312
00:17:41,370 --> 00:17:44,660
in 1863 already existed.
313
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:47,160
So that's a proof of Pegasus,
and there have been many.
314
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:49,870
Time travel technology,
315
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,250
the best I know because
of my experiences,
316
00:17:52,450 --> 00:17:55,080
is presently controlled by
the United States government.
317
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:57,370
It's not a tall story or
some kind of urban legend.
318
00:17:57,540 --> 00:18:00,160
It's part of American
history that's been forgotten.
319
00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:04,950
So, what do you think?
320
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,410
Is the boy in that
photograph a time traveler?
321
00:18:08,580 --> 00:18:11,120
And if time travel
technology really exists,
322
00:18:11,250 --> 00:18:15,790
then how has the government
kept it hidden for so long?
323
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,660
Perhaps clues can
be found by examining
324
00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:21,000
another secret time machine,
325
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,950
one that is said
to be locked away
326
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,830
deep within the
Vatican Archives.
327
00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:34,350
Beneath the
heart of the Catholic Church
328
00:18:34,540 --> 00:18:36,830
lies one of the most
secure vaults in the world,
329
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,330
the Archivum
Apostolicum Vaticanum,
330
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,950
or as it's more commonly known:
331
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,410
the Vatican Secret Archives.
332
00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:49,330
Underneath the Vatican is
333
00:18:49,450 --> 00:18:51,580
a fortress that's
climate controlled
334
00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:54,000
with state-of-the-art
security and technology.
335
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,410
In those archives are
over 50 miles of shelves.
336
00:18:59,540 --> 00:19:04,950
Within those archives are
books, documents and artifacts.
337
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,330
But also rumored
to be down there are
338
00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:10,080
the most mysterious
relics in history.
339
00:19:10,250 --> 00:19:12,790
The Ark of the Covenant
is alleged to be down there.
340
00:19:12,910 --> 00:19:15,700
The original Menorah could
be down in the archives.
341
00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:18,830
The Spear of Destiny is
rumored to be down there.
342
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,000
And these are just
parts of the legend
343
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,790
that have kind of
accumulated over the years.
344
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:25,580
Whether or not
the Vatican Secret Archives
345
00:19:25,700 --> 00:19:29,160
really contains lost treasures,
like the Ark of the Covenant
346
00:19:29,330 --> 00:19:32,410
or the Spear of Destiny,
is a matter of debate.
347
00:19:32,580 --> 00:19:35,330
But there is another
item supposedly hidden
348
00:19:35,540 --> 00:19:37,950
within the archives that
some researchers believe
349
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:41,120
is just as extraordinary.
350
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,950
It's a time machine,
developed in the 1950s,
351
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,290
known as the chronovisor.
352
00:19:48,450 --> 00:19:52,910
The chronovisor
is described as a machine.
353
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,370
You've got "chrono"
which means "time,"
354
00:19:55,540 --> 00:19:57,750
and you've got "visor"
which means "vision."
355
00:19:57,910 --> 00:20:00,870
So this is a device that
allows you to see through time.
356
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,500
The scientific
principle behind the chronovisor,
357
00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:08,620
is that this is a device
that you could actually see,
358
00:20:08,790 --> 00:20:13,660
sort of like with a hologram
or a television screen,
359
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:16,500
past or even future events.
360
00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:20,200
So, rather than
risking a person's life
361
00:20:20,370 --> 00:20:22,370
sending them into
the past or the future,
362
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:25,000
you could turn this device on
363
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,160
and see what had
actually happened.
364
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:33,120
Could there
really be a time machine
365
00:20:33,290 --> 00:20:36,200
hidden within the
Vatican Secret Archives?
366
00:20:36,410 --> 00:20:40,450
The story was exposed
on May 2, 1972,
367
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:45,910
in an Italian newspaper called
La Domenica del Corriere.
368
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,580
Journalist Vincenzo Maddaloni
wrote about both the existence
369
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:54,080
of the chronovisor
and the grand architect
370
00:20:54,250 --> 00:20:56,330
of this astonishing machine.
371
00:20:57,370 --> 00:20:59,830
The original idea for the
chronovisor came from
372
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,370
a Benedictine monk by the
name of Pellegrino Ernetti.
373
00:21:06,410 --> 00:21:12,790
This was a gentleman who
was a scholar of archaic music.
374
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:14,620
He was also a physicist.
375
00:21:15,580 --> 00:21:17,080
Ernetti developed
the chronovisor
376
00:21:17,250 --> 00:21:19,250
sort of on accident.
377
00:21:19,370 --> 00:21:22,410
According to Father
Ernetti, he had been working
378
00:21:22,580 --> 00:21:24,620
for the president of
the Pontifical Academy
379
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:28,500
of Sciences, Father
Agostino Gemelli.
380
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,500
They were working on a project
381
00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:33,700
to go through, restore and
archive old audio recordings,
382
00:21:33,870 --> 00:21:37,000
um, mostly of Gregorian chants.
383
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:39,540
So, one day he's going
through recordings of the chants,
384
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:43,450
and Father Gemelli
swears he can hear a voice
385
00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:46,500
on the recording, so
they isolate the voice.
386
00:21:51,370 --> 00:21:54,500
And Father Gemelli
could swear that it's his father's voice,
387
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,200
but his father had been dead
at the time of this recording.
388
00:21:57,370 --> 00:21:59,660
Now, Father Gemelli
thinks it's a miracle.
389
00:21:59,830 --> 00:22:04,500
The voice under the chant
from beyond, it's a gift from God.
390
00:22:04,660 --> 00:22:06,790
Father Ernetti's more
scientific, he's more grounded.
391
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:10,750
He wants to see if maybe
there's a way to extract
392
00:22:10,910 --> 00:22:15,040
old information out of
electromagnetic recordings.
393
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,660
Father Ernetti
gets 12 physicists and scientists
394
00:22:18,830 --> 00:22:21,330
together to help him
work on this project to see
395
00:22:21,450 --> 00:22:23,160
if they can replicate
this phenomenon,
396
00:22:23,370 --> 00:22:24,660
and they built the device.
397
00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:29,330
Rumors about the
Vatican's secret time vision technology
398
00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,870
were a strange curiosity in
Italian newspapers for decades.
399
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,200
But then in the year 2000,
400
00:22:36,370 --> 00:22:38,910
the story was exposed
to the wider world
401
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,700
in an explosive book titled
Father Ernetti's Chronovisor.
402
00:22:43,870 --> 00:22:45,700
The book included
firsthand accounts
403
00:22:45,870 --> 00:22:48,540
from Father Ernetti
in which he revealed
404
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:51,500
how the device worked.
405
00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:54,200
Father Ernetti said that
the chronovisor consists of
406
00:22:54,370 --> 00:22:55,790
metal of different alloys.
407
00:22:55,910 --> 00:22:59,000
Some rare metals, some
expensive, some exotic.
408
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,720
And these metals are designed
to tune into different frequencies
409
00:23:01,870 --> 00:23:04,700
that pick up this residual
electromagnetic energy,
410
00:23:04,910 --> 00:23:08,910
that sense conversations and
can see images anywhere in time.
411
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:15,080
The theory was that
energy never completely disappears,
412
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,250
that the past... the frequencies
413
00:23:18,410 --> 00:23:20,910
are still floating around
out there somewhere.
414
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,620
And with the proper tuning,
you could actually pull in
415
00:23:25,790 --> 00:23:29,700
the sights and
sounds of past events.
416
00:23:30,750 --> 00:23:33,410
After building the
chronovisor, Father Ernetti claimed
417
00:23:33,580 --> 00:23:36,660
he first tested its abilities
by watching speeches
418
00:23:36,830 --> 00:23:40,160
delivered by Italian
dictator Benito Mussolini
419
00:23:40,330 --> 00:23:44,330
just a decade
earlier in the 1940s.
420
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:46,660
When that test was successful,
421
00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:50,330
Ernetti reportedly
scanned back to 1797...
422
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:54,120
to watch
Napoleon conquer Italy
423
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:55,580
during the French Revolution.
424
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:58,620
And despite intense scrutiny,
425
00:23:58,790 --> 00:24:02,620
Father Ernetti never
changed his story.
426
00:24:02,750 --> 00:24:05,330
Father Ernetti
passed away in 1994.
427
00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:08,790
And to his dying day, he
said the chronovisor exists.
428
00:24:08,910 --> 00:24:11,790
Over the years, the
Vatican has been questioned
429
00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:14,500
about the chronovisor,
and their standard answer is:
430
00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:17,750
it's fantasy, it doesn't exist.
431
00:24:17,910 --> 00:24:21,660
But in 1988, allegedly,
there was a decree given
432
00:24:21,830 --> 00:24:23,830
by the Church, which
was very, very strange.
433
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,790
And it said something
to the effect of
434
00:24:25,910 --> 00:24:30,450
anyone using technology to
listen to or peer through time
435
00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:32,040
would be excommunicated.
436
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,450
Why would the
Vatican make this declaration
437
00:24:36,620 --> 00:24:39,000
if the chronovisor
doesn't exist?
438
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,580
And if the Vatican possesses
439
00:24:40,750 --> 00:24:42,660
such an incredible
piece of technology,
440
00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:47,790
then why are they hiding
it in the Secret Archives?
441
00:24:47,910 --> 00:24:52,200
If you could turn on a
device and look any place,
442
00:24:52,370 --> 00:24:54,080
any time in the past,
443
00:24:54,250 --> 00:24:57,500
history would unfold before us.
444
00:24:57,620 --> 00:24:59,620
All mysteries would be revealed.
445
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:05,250
However, such a device
would also eliminate all secrets.
446
00:25:05,410 --> 00:25:09,290
Would our society be
mature enough to accept
447
00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:11,080
the loss of our secrets?
448
00:25:11,250 --> 00:25:12,580
I don't think so.
449
00:25:16,580 --> 00:25:19,250
If the claims about the
chronovisor are true,
450
00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:21,950
then maybe it's best
to keep it locked away.
451
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,870
But with reports of numerous
time machines circulating,
452
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,750
perhaps the more
important question is,
453
00:25:29,910 --> 00:25:32,330
what's the science behind them?
454
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:34,660
The answer may lie
455
00:25:34,790 --> 00:25:38,370
in the story of a
renowned Italian physicist,
456
00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:41,370
who made a major
discovery related to time travel
457
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:46,250
in 1937, and then
mysteriously...
458
00:25:46,370 --> 00:25:49,040
vanished without a trace.
459
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,200
Scientists at the
CERN Large Hadron Collider
460
00:25:59,370 --> 00:26:01,160
announce a remarkable discovery.
461
00:26:02,660 --> 00:26:04,700
After firing subatomic particles
462
00:26:04,870 --> 00:26:07,120
through the 17-mile
length of the collider,
463
00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:11,790
they observed that certain
particles, known as neutrinos,
464
00:26:11,950 --> 00:26:18,000
moved faster than had
ever been measured before.
465
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,830
At the microscopic level,
466
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,000
neutrinos, very
exotic particles,
467
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,830
were clocked traveling
faster than the speed of light.
468
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,500
Now, if you could go faster
than the speed of light,
469
00:26:29,660 --> 00:26:31,370
time travel may be possible.
470
00:26:31,540 --> 00:26:34,040
But is it possible in principle,
471
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,370
to have these things happen
for large objects like us?
472
00:26:37,540 --> 00:26:39,120
And the answer
is, theoretically, yes.
473
00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:42,580
Could studying
high-speed neutrinos
474
00:26:42,790 --> 00:26:45,910
be the key to understanding
how humans can move
475
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,080
faster than the speed of light,
476
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,950
and potentially even
travel through time?
477
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,200
Well, some say that
the answer may lie with
478
00:26:58,410 --> 00:27:02,660
the peculiar disappearance
of a scientist in the 1930s
479
00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:05,580
named Ettore Majorana.
480
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:09,370
Who came up with
this theory of neutrinos
481
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:10,540
that are being studied?
482
00:27:10,660 --> 00:27:12,830
It was Ettore Majorana.
483
00:27:13,830 --> 00:27:18,250
In 1937, this genius,
he wrote the first paper
484
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:22,910
on neutrinos, which we're
now studying decades later.
485
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,450
So because of Majorana,
we have a much richer
486
00:27:26,620 --> 00:27:29,000
understanding of
subatomic particles.
487
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,910
Ettore Majorana
was living and working in Italy
488
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,500
under the dictatorship
of Benito Mussolini
489
00:27:37,660 --> 00:27:39,910
in the lead-up to the
Second World War.
490
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,370
His work on neutrinos was
completely groundbreaking,
491
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:48,120
and then he just vanishes.
492
00:27:49,830 --> 00:27:54,830
The fate of Ettore Majorana is
a complete mystery to this day.
493
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,040
He was, on the island of Sicily.
494
00:27:59,410 --> 00:28:03,660
And this was in 1938.
495
00:28:03,870 --> 00:28:06,830
He had a ticket of
a boat trip to Naples,
496
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,040
which it would seem as if
he actually got on this boat,
497
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,580
and then he just
disappears completely.
498
00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:17,540
Many believed that
suicide was a rational explanation,
499
00:28:17,700 --> 00:28:20,620
but there was no proof.
500
00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:23,660
It seems inexplicable
that a man like Majorana,
501
00:28:23,830 --> 00:28:25,700
very much at the
top of his game,
502
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:29,700
recognized as one of
the world's top physicists,
503
00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:33,410
why would he suddenly
choose to end his own life?
504
00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:37,160
Others believe that
he went to a monastery,
505
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:39,580
that he secluded himself away,
506
00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:42,500
because he'd also withdrawn
a huge amount of money
507
00:28:42,660 --> 00:28:44,700
from the bank.
508
00:28:44,910 --> 00:28:48,000
But more intriguingly
is the notion that,
509
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,500
some people believe, that
the discovery of neutrinos
510
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:53,120
by Majorana also permitted him
511
00:28:53,290 --> 00:28:56,790
to entertain the
notion of time travel.
512
00:28:56,950 --> 00:29:00,500
Is it possible
that Ettore Majorana didn't
513
00:29:00,660 --> 00:29:05,160
merely disappear but actually
used his knowledge of neutrinos
514
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:07,330
to travel through time?
515
00:29:08,370 --> 00:29:13,700
Majorana left behind a
letter that may offer a clue.
516
00:29:13,870 --> 00:29:15,950
Before his disappearance,
517
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,830
Majorana wrote
a series of letters.
518
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,250
And there's one
particularly intriguing letter
519
00:29:23,410 --> 00:29:26,330
where he says that he will keep
520
00:29:26,410 --> 00:29:28,950
a fond memory of his colleagues
521
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,250
"until 11:00 p.m. tonight,"
522
00:29:32,410 --> 00:29:34,660
and possibly later.
523
00:29:34,830 --> 00:29:39,160
And the tone and, more
importantly, the tense
524
00:29:39,330 --> 00:29:41,950
in which he was
writing those letters
525
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,830
seemed to be very
vague in terms of time.
526
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,160
While skeptics have questioned
527
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:50,660
whether Ettore
Majorana's disappearance
528
00:29:50,830 --> 00:29:53,410
involved time
travel, in the 1950s,
529
00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:55,700
surprising evidence emerged
530
00:29:55,870 --> 00:29:59,370
which suggests
that it could be true.
531
00:30:01,790 --> 00:30:04,660
In 1955,
somebody actually meets a man
532
00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:07,290
in Buenos Aires in Argentina,
533
00:30:07,450 --> 00:30:10,620
that claims to be, um, Ettore.
534
00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:14,540
So, with this, what
are we to conclude?
535
00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:17,040
After Majorana's disappearance
536
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,500
there were frequent
Majorana sightings.
537
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:23,540
People coming forward to
say, "I think I saw somebody
538
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:24,980
who looks a
little bit like him."
539
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,620
And then a photo
surfaced from 1955
540
00:30:29,790 --> 00:30:32,540
taken in Valencia, in Venezuela.
541
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:38,450
In this photo, there is a man
who is most likely Majorana.
542
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:40,870
Further
analysis of the photograph
543
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:42,660
revealed a bizarre twist.
544
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:46,790
Majorana was 32 years
old when he disappeared.
545
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,250
In 1955, he would've been 49,
546
00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:55,120
but the man in the
photograph looks closer to 70.
547
00:30:55,290 --> 00:31:01,790
So, where and when
was Majorana all that time?
548
00:31:01,910 --> 00:31:05,160
Now, if that photo
was of Majorana,
549
00:31:05,370 --> 00:31:09,330
it suggests not only that
he survived the ferry trip
550
00:31:09,540 --> 00:31:10,870
between Naples and Palermo
551
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,160
but that he engaged
in some kind of travel.
552
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,870
Travel across space but also
possibly travel through time.
553
00:31:21,910 --> 00:31:26,330
Did the man who unlocked
the secrets of the atom
554
00:31:26,450 --> 00:31:29,250
also discover the
key to time travel?
555
00:31:29,370 --> 00:31:32,200
It's unclear, but some
researchers believe
556
00:31:32,370 --> 00:31:35,000
that you don't need
to be a brilliant scientist
557
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,620
to travel through time.
558
00:31:36,790 --> 00:31:39,910
Instead, they argue that
there are certain locations
559
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,330
on our planet in
which strange energy
560
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:46,660
can transform an ordinary
person into a time traveler
561
00:31:46,830 --> 00:31:50,040
by sheer accident.
562
00:31:56,370 --> 00:31:58,580
This historic
port city is famously known
563
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:00,790
as the hometown of The Beatles.
564
00:32:00,950 --> 00:32:03,500
But over the
years, it has gained
565
00:32:03,660 --> 00:32:06,160
a much stranger reputation.
566
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,500
It's said that in Liverpool
567
00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:13,620
time moves in mysterious ways.
568
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:17,160
And it's become ground
zero for a phenomenon
569
00:32:17,290 --> 00:32:20,370
known as "time slips,"
570
00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:24,410
which are a kind of
accidental time travel.
571
00:32:25,450 --> 00:32:28,330
In Liverpool,
there's a shopping street called
572
00:32:28,540 --> 00:32:33,450
Bold Street, which has
become infamous for time slips.
573
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,000
One of these time slips
involved a police officer
574
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,250
called Frank, who
was out shopping
575
00:32:41,410 --> 00:32:44,830
with his wife
Carol, in July 1996.
576
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,660
And Carol went to
the Dillons bookstore,
577
00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:51,410
and he went to a
shop to buy a CD...
578
00:32:51,580 --> 00:32:55,620
A compact disc...
1990s technology.
579
00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:59,830
Now, he then returned
to meet up with his wife,
580
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,540
but the bookstore
where his wife was,
581
00:33:02,750 --> 00:33:06,080
Dillons, had now become Cripps
582
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,620
and was selling women's
clothing and handbags.
583
00:33:09,790 --> 00:33:13,330
Now, this confused Frank, who
then looked around and found
584
00:33:13,540 --> 00:33:15,790
that everybody around
him was dressed inexplicably
585
00:33:15,870 --> 00:33:20,200
in 1940s, 1950s fashion,
586
00:33:20,370 --> 00:33:22,040
and he became rapidly aware
587
00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:25,160
that he was no
longer in the 1990s.
588
00:33:25,330 --> 00:33:27,790
He was somewhere
very, very different.
589
00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:32,500
And everything then
just changes back to how it should be.
590
00:33:32,620 --> 00:33:35,250
The bookshop is there,
591
00:33:35,370 --> 00:33:37,160
which he knows to be Dillons,
592
00:33:37,330 --> 00:33:40,370
but he remembered the name
of that shop and it was Cripps.
593
00:33:41,370 --> 00:33:45,330
And there was, indeed,
a shop in the 1950s
594
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:49,120
at that location by
the name of Cripps.
595
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,580
Is it possible that there
are places in this world
596
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:58,080
where space-time works
differently to anywhere else?
597
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:03,040
While Liverpool
has become known for time slips,
598
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,830
this unique phenomenon
has been experienced
599
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,500
and reported all over the world.
600
00:34:09,700 --> 00:34:14,330
Recently, time slips have
been entering the news.
601
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:17,330
The fact that here you
are at one point in space,
602
00:34:17,450 --> 00:34:21,040
and then suddenly
time has a mistake in it
603
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,750
which allows you to
slip right through a crack
604
00:34:24,910 --> 00:34:27,910
in the fabric of space and time.
605
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,950
There is a big
difference between a time slip
606
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,040
and the use of a time machine.
607
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,000
In a time machine,
you have control
608
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,660
over your comings and
goings along the timeline.
609
00:34:38,830 --> 00:34:43,330
With a time slip, one
ends up in the future,
610
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:46,790
or possibly the
past, without any idea
611
00:34:46,910 --> 00:34:51,830
of how you got there or
any control of being there.
612
00:34:53,370 --> 00:34:56,500
Curiously, time
slips have also been reported
613
00:34:56,700 --> 00:35:00,330
on the sites of
historic battlegrounds.
614
00:35:01,830 --> 00:35:05,080
Another very interesting
account of a time slip
615
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,660
occurs in 1932.
616
00:35:07,870 --> 00:35:13,410
When two journalists went
to the Hamburg shipyard
617
00:35:13,620 --> 00:35:15,290
to cover a story...
618
00:35:15,410 --> 00:35:18,450
A gentleman by the
name of J. Bernard Hutton
619
00:35:18,620 --> 00:35:21,870
and another gentleman
by the name of Brandt...
620
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,160
Nothing out of the
ordinary took place,
621
00:35:24,370 --> 00:35:28,370
until suddenly they found
themselves in the midst
622
00:35:28,540 --> 00:35:31,830
of bombs being
dropped all around them.
623
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,160
They could see, actually,
bombs falling out of the sky.
624
00:35:35,290 --> 00:35:38,410
And obviously this was
something that terrified them,
625
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:41,040
and they got out
of there quickly.
626
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,870
When they looked
back from Hamburg to the shipyards,
627
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,660
they appear to be
intact and unharmed.
628
00:35:49,830 --> 00:35:52,410
And when Brandt's
photographs were developed,
629
00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:55,830
again, there was no
damage to the shipyards.
630
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,910
Fast-forward to 1943,
631
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,450
and Hutton was living in Britain
during the Second World War.
632
00:36:01,580 --> 00:36:06,620
He read a report of an
RAF raid on that shipyard,
633
00:36:06,750 --> 00:36:10,160
a bombing raid by
the Royal Air Force,
634
00:36:10,370 --> 00:36:14,500
and the description in the
newspaper matched exactly
635
00:36:14,580 --> 00:36:19,080
what he'd seen
on that day in 1932
636
00:36:19,250 --> 00:36:21,620
and chilled him to the bone.
637
00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:26,330
If there is some
truth to these time slip reports,
638
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:28,950
then what could be causing them?
639
00:36:30,370 --> 00:36:33,660
Well, according to
physicists, the answer could be
640
00:36:33,830 --> 00:36:36,290
that we're living in
what's referred to
641
00:36:36,450 --> 00:36:38,450
as the multiverse.
642
00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:42,700
The idea of the multiverse
comes from the quantum theory.
643
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:45,000
You know, when we were
children, we were told that
644
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,370
you cannot be two
places at the same time.
645
00:36:47,540 --> 00:36:51,450
That's just common sense,
right? Well, we lied to you.
646
00:36:51,580 --> 00:36:54,830
In the quantum theory,
electrons can, in fact,
647
00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:56,660
be two places at the same time.
648
00:36:56,870 --> 00:36:59,830
Therefore, we have this
scenario where the past,
649
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,500
the present, the future
are all mixed up into one.
650
00:37:02,660 --> 00:37:05,660
So in principle, the
theory allows you
651
00:37:05,870 --> 00:37:09,500
to simultaneously exist
with somebody from the past.
652
00:37:10,540 --> 00:37:14,000
What are we to
make of people coming forward
653
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,500
and claiming these time slips,
654
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:21,000
whether they be into
the past or into the future?
655
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:25,000
And I think what we can
say is that there are so many
656
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,580
of these stories that there must
be some kind of truth to them.
657
00:37:29,750 --> 00:37:34,830
But if numerous people
have been transported to another time,
658
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,540
then where is the proof?
659
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:42,160
The answer may lie in
examining old photographs
660
00:37:42,370 --> 00:37:45,080
that curiously appear
to show people
661
00:37:45,250 --> 00:37:46,540
from the future.
662
00:37:53,620 --> 00:37:56,080
The Virtual Museum
of Canada releases a collection
663
00:37:56,250 --> 00:37:59,660
of historic images
on its website.
664
00:37:59,830 --> 00:38:03,250
One particular
photo, taken in 1941,
665
00:38:03,450 --> 00:38:06,950
sparks intense curiosity,
666
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,870
because it appears to show a man
667
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,500
from the future.
668
00:38:11,660 --> 00:38:16,160
In this image from 1941,
here we have a group of people
669
00:38:16,370 --> 00:38:18,500
at the opening of
the South Fork Bridge
670
00:38:18,620 --> 00:38:20,660
in British Columbia that year.
671
00:38:20,830 --> 00:38:23,870
And this young man
just shouldn't be there.
672
00:38:24,950 --> 00:38:28,450
Now, they all look like
typical 1940s people,
673
00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:32,870
except for this chap
here with the dark shades.
674
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,620
He looks like a kind
of hipster from our time.
675
00:38:36,790 --> 00:38:39,660
He's got his great,
cool sunglasses.
676
00:38:39,790 --> 00:38:43,160
He's got what seems
to be a modern T-shirt on
677
00:38:43,290 --> 00:38:45,950
and this little box camera.
678
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,750
There is no reason for him
to be standing there in 1941.
679
00:38:50,910 --> 00:38:54,660
The bizarre photo
quickly went viral on the Internet,
680
00:38:54,830 --> 00:38:58,250
and many have wondered
whether the strangely dressed man
681
00:38:58,410 --> 00:39:01,080
could possibly
be a time traveler.
682
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,330
But according to some
researchers, the best evidence
683
00:39:04,540 --> 00:39:07,000
of modern people
traveling back in time
684
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:12,040
is not a picture but rather
a mysterious artifact.
685
00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:17,660
An archaeological
report came out in 2008
686
00:39:17,870 --> 00:39:20,410
regarding a very,
very strange discovery
687
00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:25,250
in a Ming dynasty
tomb in Shanxi, China.
688
00:39:25,370 --> 00:39:27,830
Now, this tomb is at
least 400 years old,
689
00:39:27,910 --> 00:39:30,580
and it was fully sealed,
hermetically sealed,
690
00:39:30,750 --> 00:39:33,830
so no one had been
in it for 400 years.
691
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,450
But when they cracked
open this bit of rock
692
00:39:36,620 --> 00:39:40,330
that had hardened over
time, this ring came out.
693
00:39:40,450 --> 00:39:42,370
Just a few centimeters wide.
694
00:39:42,540 --> 00:39:46,120
And on it, it looked
exactly like a watch.
695
00:39:46,290 --> 00:39:48,200
It even had the
hands of the watch
696
00:39:48,370 --> 00:39:51,450
and the 12 hours
around the edge,
697
00:39:51,620 --> 00:39:55,450
which caused a sensation
because this couldn't have existed.
698
00:39:55,620 --> 00:39:57,040
There was no
watches at this time.
699
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,910
So how could this be?
700
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,870
How could this anomalous ring
end up in a Ming dynasty tomb?
701
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,660
While skeptics
dismiss the unusual artifact
702
00:40:06,870 --> 00:40:08,330
as a mere hoax,
703
00:40:08,540 --> 00:40:11,040
others are thrilled by the
idea that time travelers
704
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,660
may be leaving tangible evidence
of their journeys to the past.
705
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,500
And yet, experts warn that
even though time travel is
706
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:23,790
a fun and fascinating concept,
707
00:40:23,950 --> 00:40:27,790
it's also cause
for grave concern.
708
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:33,160
We have to realize that
if we can travel back into the past,
709
00:40:33,330 --> 00:40:37,330
the worst-case scenario is
that governments could use it
710
00:40:37,450 --> 00:40:39,750
to attack their enemy
by going to the past.
711
00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:43,000
Imagine, for
example, going back to
712
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,910
to the Revolutionary War
713
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,830
and making sure that you
eliminated George Washington.
714
00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:50,910
These are problems
that could happen.
715
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:56,910
This sort of technology would
be a very powerful thing to have.
716
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,950
For over 100 years,
we have been debating
717
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,330
whether or not time
travel, especially to the past,
718
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:05,870
is beneficial or dangerous.
719
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,700
But, of course, the dilemma for
us is, there's a conundrum here.
720
00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:15,700
Because if there are people
time traveling and altering the past,
721
00:41:15,910 --> 00:41:17,910
they will know
what they've done,
722
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,200
but we won't know
because we're living here,
723
00:41:20,330 --> 00:41:21,490
and we haven't traveled back.
724
00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:23,660
We're prisoners of time.
725
00:41:23,830 --> 00:41:27,040
And, of course,
that's very unnerving.
726
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,700
The stories of supposed
real-life time travel
727
00:41:31,870 --> 00:41:34,160
are tantalizing, provocative,
728
00:41:34,330 --> 00:41:36,830
and in some cases dangerous.
729
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,660
They all teeter on the
edge of science fiction
730
00:41:39,790 --> 00:41:42,580
and science fact.
731
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,500
Will we one day uncover
indisputable evidence
732
00:41:45,660 --> 00:41:47,500
which proves that
these incredible tales
733
00:41:47,620 --> 00:41:49,250
are actually true?
734
00:41:49,370 --> 00:41:52,660
It seems that
only time will tell.
735
00:41:52,830 --> 00:41:57,200
But until then, these
mysteries will remain...
736
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,410
unexplained.
