Alright guys, check it out! Becca went and made us a cool Youtube page =D You can access it right heeeeeeeeeeeere. Or here. We don't have anything up yet, but we plan to put some stuff up real soon.
I was thinking about it, and maybe I should explain what The Philadelphia Experiment's all about. I linked the wiki page on the previous entry, but I know a lot of people will think it's too lengthy.
To make a long story short, in 1943 they tried to make a ship called The USS Eldridge become invisible to radars and/or mines by canceling out its magnetic field. Rumor has it, the results of the series of tests that the ship underwent were not pretty. The ship supposedly disappeared and was transported from Philadelphia, PA to Norfolk, VA, then back again with crazy stories to go along with it. People claimed they were frozen in time, traveled through time, or some people vanished altogether. The craziest result was that some people were literally fused to the bulkheads of the ship when it was finally retrieved. Many claim that the government has done its best to cover up the story, claiming the the ship was never in Philadelphia throughout WWII, the time the tests took place (for warfare, of course). The whole idea behind the masking of the ship was to install electrically charged cables throughout the walls of the ship from bow to stern on both sides that would cancel out the ship's magnetic field when faced with the need. Magnetic fields are what are used to be detected on radars, so this would (in theory) make the ship virtually invisible.
Of course, in the story, it instead mucked everyone's junk up.
So that's the basics. There's a lot of other things that go into it, but that's all that you really need to know. I tried to condense as much of it as I could, so if it's still tl;dr, that's your problem then.
My sources are: Kinda tin-foil-hat-esque and Wikipedia. LOOOOOL
That's crazy, all that stuff with magnetic fields? When I think of magnetic fields, I think of like, magnets. On your fridge. From that creepy uncle that you never really talk to but he gave it to you while he was in vacation in Bermuda just to make it look like he thought about you and he probably stole it or found it on the ground. So it's hard for me to take that stuff seriously, but really it is! Like, magnets hold the world together and stuff. HOW DO THEY WORK?! XD I'm sorry. I had to throw that in there. But anyway, that stuff's crazy. I never even heard of it until Becca told us about the script of TPE. I wonder where she even find this crap half the time.
Well, I'm off! I'll be back on soon. I had a crazy awesome dream last night that I need to put on here. Until then, internet!!
