10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Time Travel Exists
7. The Philadelphia Experiment
The military don't just come across these things by accident, though. The US army has a long and storied past of looking into some of the most trippy sci-fi concepts totally seriously, including mind control, psychic warfare, and robots - oh, and time travel, allegedly.
The Philadelphia Experiment was an actual naval military experiment supposedly carried out at sometime around 28th October, 1943, but the nature of the research being undertaken is subject to a whole lot of hearsay and rumour. Also referred to as Project Rainbow, it was said to involve the USS Eldridge being rendered invisible (or "cloaked") to enemy radar...but the process may actually have sent the entire ship, and its crew, back in time for ten seconds. Or longer. The reports are kinda hazy, and in the intervening years the Navy claims no such experiment occurred, and details of the story contradict well-established facts about the Eldridge as well as the known laws of physics.
But even Stephen Hawking couldn't get the laws of physics to disprove time travel, and American governmental organisations lie all the time, so we think we can throw out such criticisms without addressing them. We are talking about evidence for time travel, after all. Open your minds a little bit, people!
A lot of people dismiss the Philadelphia Experiment as a hoax, but the stories have been circulating for years, and a lot of them match up. The basic bones of the time slip tale are that the experiment was based on the unified field theory, a concept coined by none other than Albert Einstein, which sees electromagnetism and gravity into one field. The story goes that, if light were bent, then space-time would also be bent, effectively creating an invisible time machine. Which is allegedly what happened, albeit briefly, before the ship returned, and we guess they decided the whole thing was a little too temperamental to use any time soon.
Either that or the people who circulated the story initially had an established history of psychiatric illness. Who knows?
