This episode of Strange Matters talks about the phenomenon known as Time Slips. Time Slips refer to events in which a person supposedly either leaves their own timeline to get a glimpse of something in the past or future, or sees something in the present of a person or object from another time era. This episode goes over details of these so called “Time Slips,” as well as presents various stories of people who have said to experienced such things.
The follow up episode in the series discussing the mysterious Montauk Project! This episode covers the amazing and wild experiments that took place in the project’s main base of operation, Camp Hero. The Montauk Project remains one of the most daring and comprehensive secret military programs in history: experimenting in time travel, teleportation, time travel, psychic abilities, and even contact with Aliens.
The Montauk Project is a rumored series of experiments that took place in Montauk, NY in the 1970s and 80s. A follow up to the previous Philadelphia Experiment, researchers hoped to achieve even greater feats. Stationed at Camp Hero, the Montauk Project operated in secret to push the boundaries of human knowledge, experimenting in psychological warfare, manipulation of time and space, and dealings with extraterrestrial lifeforms. Despite the wondrous claims of the project, very few sources of information and witness accounts exist as evidence.
Did the military secretly experiment with time travel and mind control, even using alien technology? Or is the entire project simply a hoax or myth? Listen to the story of the Montauk Project and come to your own conclusion!
In this episode of Strange Matters we talk about three cases of bizarre and weird science topics. First up Eric discusses the conspiracy behind the Large Hadron Collider. This underground particle accelerator was constructed with hopes of discovering the elusive Higgs Boson particle. Some believe that the discovery of this particle would create a cataclysmic event that would destroy the space-time continuum. Suspiciously, in recent years it has been plagued by a series of unfortunate setbacks. A baguette found on a circuit board caused one of the super coolers to overheat, then a strange individual was found snooping around the CERN facilities. Eloi Cole claimed to have come back from the future in an attempt to sabotage the collider. However when he was whisked away to the nearby mental institute he later disappeared. Could this individual really be from the future sent back in an attempt to save the future from its own destruction?
Next up Sean presents a series of bizarre experiments that involve transplanted animal’s heads. A Soviet scientist named Vladimir Demikhov, who was well known for pioneering organ transplant surgeries, also lead a series of experiments in which he created two headed dogs. Though strange, he thought the techniques learned in this surgeries would benefit humans in the future. His work inspired an American Doctor, Robert White, who performed several surgeries in which he transplanted one monkey’s head onto another’s body. His hope was that with time this could lead to the ability in humans of being able to transplant heads onto fresh new bodies.
Finally, Ethan discusses the findings of “hair-like” structures on the outer rims of black holes. World renowned physicist, Stephen Hawking, and colleagues claim that this finding means the possibility of information storage in regards to what black holes consume. As science progresses we have gone from the beliefs that all objects in black holes cease to exist after consumption never to be found again to now having good reason to believe that we may be able to extract information from the beginnings of black holes to reveal their histories and origin. Though we have come this far, we have barely scratched the surface of understanding how black holes function and the purpose they serve in our universe.
