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.

737
