When people hear the term “Time Warp”, most immediately think of a cosmic blur of gases, the theme song from The Twilight Zone or the famous “Time Warp” song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Whichever way this concept is perceived in peoples’ minds, one thing is certain: no one has yet proven without a doubt that places exist which can alter the fabric of time as we know it.
For many years, the topic of time warps has sparked controversy in the world of science.
It has often been said (and proven true) that the human imagination does not surpass the scopes of reality, however ridiculous they may seem. Some of the most brilliant inventors have believed the impossible and proven the world wrong in their skepticism. Albert Einstein was one of the geniuses who first suggested the possibility of time warps or black holes as a force that when entered would cause objects to move at a different speed or alter their composition entirely by forces which could not be explained by science. Modern scientific theories are considered more concrete when proven in some way. Of course all proven scientific theories do not seem to embrace the quantum explanations but rather the explanations of regularity; that which has a pattern or consistency.
To make the definition of a time warp more clear, it is believed to be a certain area where magnetic and electric forces are altered in such a way to create a sporadic energy-force field, often described as resulting in a fast and spinning or circular motion, forming a tunnel of some sort in the center. When objects made of tangible matter enter these fields, their structure is altered and often projected to another place or time-speed. A branch of science that defies consistency is quantum physics. This theory promotes the idea that energy is sporadic and random; it is believed in this theory that the atomic world is very different than the world as humans perceive it. The entirety of quantum theories is much too extensive to explain, but it definitely is worth considering, as some of the most intellectual and astounding physicists have supported quantum theories. Some may find these ideas preposterous, but in consideration of several real-life examples, skeptics would have to at least reconsider.
In this tangible world, there exist a few popular examples time warps. We’re presenting these to you not as facts, but as interesting examples to spark your further curiosity.
The Bermuda Triangle: Time warp, or just the subject of dozens of sleazy B-movies?
First is the mysteriousness of The Bermuda Triangle. This area in the ocean is believed to be a form of time warp. Many explanations have been offered to dispute that, but this still hasn’t been proven untrue. Numerous ships and airplanes have mysteriously disappeared after entering a certain area in The Bermuda Triangle, some emerging again after a long period of time, others gone without a trace. Perhaps there is a small area comparable to a whirlpool where amplified magnetic and electric fields meet, forming a time warp.
Similarly in 2006, many naysayers were reevaluating their concepts when it was announced that a black hole was discovered in the constellation named Scorpius. This black hole was said to be a spinning force which caused an imprint on space-time, just as Einstein’s theory of relativity explained years before (it was scoffed at when he proposed it years before).
The Philadelphia Experiment: is there any truth to this legend?
Another example was the Philadelphia Project or, as it’s similarly known, the Philadelphia Experiment. This project was conducted by the United States Navy in the 1940s. If this incident doesn’t persuade people to further consider the plausibility of time warps, nothing will. Three separate experiments were performed on a specially designed ship. The ship was built in a way to alter magnetic and electric power when stimulated by a giant generator. During the first experiment, the ship completely vanished into a fog, then appeared again in a fog when the generator was turned off. A second test was performed where just a part of the ship remained visible, but with less amount of time projected from the generator the ship was damaged. Lastly, it was decided that a new crew should be used because the first crew seemed very ill from the experience. After a new crew was selected and sent aboard, the generators were turned on. This time, the ship not only disappeared from Philadelphia, but reappeared in Virginia for a short time until the generator was shut off. It was recorded that some men had become “frozen” on the ship upon reappearance.
Whether people choose to believe that time warps exist or not, there certainly is some evidence to support the theory, including footage of black holes in space, as well as some eyewitness testimony from persons claiming to have been involved with the Philadelphia Project.
If you’re a skeptic, take a second to should consider some of the things deemed supernatural which cannot be explained by science.
Love and altruism are two emotions experienced by just about all of which, and can they be fully explained by science?
There are plenty of tangible and intangible things in the universe which exist but yet defy explanation.
Time warps may be one of these.
You be the judge.
