Lollypop 0 Posted June 25, 2003 The Philadelphia Experiment is an alleged United States Navy experiment (Project Rainbow) done on October 28, 1943. According to legend, the destroyer USS Eldridge was made invisible, dematerialized, and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia, and back again to the Philadelphia Naval Yard. The experiment allegedly had such terrible side effects, such as making sailors invisible and causing them to go mad, that the Navy quit exploring this exciting new technology. The experiment was allegedly done by Dr. Franklin Reno as an application of Einstein's unified field theory. The experiment supposedly demonstrated a successful connection between gravity and electromagnetism: electromagnetic space-time warping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the movie the sailors re-materialized in the deck of the ship...really gross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted June 26, 2003 My question is this: If it really worked, who cares if the results were bad, why quit? Just have a disclaimer - "Warning: You may die, go invisible, go insane, or materrialise inside a deck plate. Proceed at your own risk." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted June 26, 2003 I don't think they would accomplish something like that and quit because of health concerns. At about the same time they were exposing people to radiation "to see what would happen" and not treating syphillis "to see what would happen". Besides someone in the private sector would have gotten wind of it and be rich by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xenexian 2 Posted July 2, 2003 I was under the impression that the experiment was an attempt to make a ship invisible to the radar of the time, not to actually make it dematerialize. Of course using high band electromagnetic waves would be unhealthy to living tissue and I could see where the brain could possibly be affected from close proximity to the wave emiters. I guess I need to see if any information on the experiment is actually de-classified now. It might be interesting to see if any of Tesla's formulas may have been part of the mix. Does anyone have any further info to share? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguedawg 0 Posted August 4, 2003 I think the Philadelphia Experiment really took place.But,then again,I believe in ghosts,demonic possession,haunted houses,bigfoot,the yeti,the loch ness monster,area 51,etc.Life's too boring not to believe in this stuff!

cptwright 1 Posted August 20, 2003 it made a cool movie, and i do beleive that something of the sort did happen. our governemnt does way too many things that they dont tell us about. but alas i guess all we can do is speculate wether or not it really did, and if it did what did go down.

DrWho42 13 Posted January 14, 2004 I think the Philadelphia Project actually took place, but then again I believe in several things, and enjoy conspiracies. doctorwho42avenger@hotmail.com :) :) "Dialogue from a play, Hamlet to Horatio: 'There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.' Dialogue from a play written long before men took to the sky. There are more things in heaven and earth, and in the sky, that perhaps can be dreamt of.
