'Time warp' discovered by paranormal investigator outside of Las Vegas

Interesting, if true ...

LAS VEGAS -- A paranormal researcher said he's the first person to ever discover a time warp, and that he found it on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Joshua Warren has been measuring the rate of time all over southern Nevada, and he said, last week he found that time had slowed down.

Source

He claims that using something called a 'differential time rate meter', he discovered that at a certain spot in Nevada time had slowed down for 20 microseconds. A google search for 'differential time rate meter' doesn't reveal much but it sounds like a pretty neat toy.

Here's another link that has video. It shows the man (appropriately dressed in black and wearing a hat that inappropriately is not made of tin-foil) explaining what he discovered.

Of course, Area 51 is in Nevada and not far from where the man discovered the time warp. Coincidence?

Can I be the first to dismiss it?

Why is it always the nutters who find crazy stuff?
I'll read into it now.

Good on him for his advertising skills.
This has gotta be good for business.

Sounds like he's trying to travel time so he can go back and beat the casinos.

It's funny how this hasn't been verified by anyone else.

Surely a bunch of nerds with the same equipment or better than he has would have rushed there to take independent measurements if this is any way plausible.

I would be shocked if a paranormal researcher makes enough from his allowance to purchase the equipment required.

I don't know.

I've heard of areas with weird gravity properties, and it would seem not completely crazy to think an area that had been in close proximity to a large number of nuclear detonations could experience minute but still detectable time dilation effects.

I'm not saying I buy it, we all know there's no shortage of nut cases out there.

But crazier things have happened.

AMIRITE?!?

Thank goodness I can now go back in time 20 microseconds and correct that terrible mistake I made 20 microseconds ago.

That very song was going through my mind as I was writing the OP!

Maybe picked up a gravity wave passing through earth?

AMIRITE?!?

Hehe that was my first thought when I read the thread title.

So, a guy buys some newly invented device that apparently sends a signal from one node to another then back, and those times between nodes are supposed to be the same. He goes around the desert using this device, and gets a 20 microsecond difference. Instead of thinking user or equipment error, he concludes it's a time warp.

...right...

a reply to: MisterMcKill

beat me to it.

Couple of issues that I have:
Is this piece of equipment that was being used working properly?
Where there any tests to see if any interference was messing with the equipment?

Outside of this what do we know about this new equipment, and how does it work?

If the situation is true, it could be from other things such as:
Quantum Cavitation
Gravitational differences

I personally don't buy the "Blackhole" idea since that would either die out before it could do anything,or be so small that it would plasma anything near it before it pulled them into it. Nice specualtion, but not very scientific of the tester. Maybe the person who discovered this annomoly could give the GPS points to where to find this, and let others run some tests as well.


I wonder if George Knapp would be in for a quick follow up on this report? (since it sounds to be in his neck of the woods)

In Germany, there was a mountain called Untersberg and supposedly someone went there and met SS Nazi soldiers that were trapped in a time warp.

Wolf claimed that he actually went to the mountain with a friend and actively searched for these time slips, actually finding some locations where their watches would diverge by seconds or minutes. After exploring more of the area, Wolf says that they came across a group of men living in one of the many caves of the mountain, and that these people claimed to be SS soldiers from World War II, still young and under the command of the notorious SS general Hans Kammler. Bizarrely, the alleged soldiers appeared to have had no idea that so many years had passed, and seemed to truly believe that the war had ended only months before. Wolf then ascertains that the cave they had been hiding out in displays a major temporal anomaly, with time passing by at a much slower pace within its confines.

This is actually a great example of how much we appeal to authority.

If Krauss or Degrasse Tyson said this we'd all be a little moist, but because some guy without any credentials says it we dismiss them automatically.

I stand by my dismissal but I would so love to be wrong.

Or... 2 properly calibrated atomic clocks can be placed both outside and inside the warp, and then see what diff there is after like say, 12 hours.
But... hey- what do I know...

Instead of:
a) the equipment is a piece of crap
b) he doesn't know how to use the data
c) something else is affecting the data

It must be a time warp.

That seems feasible.

I'm not sure how a 'differential time rate meter' is supposed to work, but if it's supposed to send an electrical signal through a wire and measure the time the signal bounced back, it could be affected by other means. Suppose he is measuring in a spot over a large underground metallic mineralized zone. The electromagnetic field generated over the wire might be absorbed by the deposit and emit it's own field. That field could create eddy currents in the wire that would affect the reading.

Kind of like a simple metal detector.

Good point but unless they guy can provide some substantial proof it's good to be highly skeptical. However I think his claim is much more likely than most people first assume. We still have trouble determining the exact value for G the gravitational constant because we never seem to measure the same value at different labs around the world, so we take the average. The strength of the gravity field where time is being measured plays a large role in how time will flow, the main reason satellites in space experience time distortion is not because they are moving fast but because they are in a much lower strength area of Earths gravitational field and they experience gravitational time dilation.

Whatever happened to those Soldiers?
