Philadelphia Experiment

"We made it disappear and reappear, but with very little control. We lost some men."

- Albert Einstein

Performed under the guidance of professor Albert Einstein, the Philadelphia Experiment was the first successful application of the chronoshift technology. However, as Prof. Einstein remarked, during the experiment they had very little control over the effect, and gaining that control was the entire objective of the Chronosphere project.

The experiment consisted of two relay towers positioned on the sides of an Allied cruiser, which generated a chronoshift bubble, making the ship disappear and reappear a few moments later. However, due to the nature of the effect, the navy corpsmen who were on board as part of the experiment, suffered horrible fates, as mentioned by Einstein. Witness accounts mention people that were outside when the effect was deployed were fused with parts of the ship or horribly mutilated.

Further information on the Philadelphia Experiment was classified by the Allied Forces.

 * The Philadelphia Experiment is based on a real-life alleged military experiment of the same name that is purported to have been conducted by the US Navy in October 28, 1943 and involved research and development of invisibility and/or teleportation technology.
