Image Credit: Curiosity got the better of me after I read Nick Cook’s book, published in 2001 (U.S., Broadway Books, 2002) titled, The Hunt for Zero Point. In particular, I was intrigued by his comments near the end of the book (page 272-softcover) when he tells Marckus, an alias for a scientist in Britain who prompted Cook to conduct his investigation into, “… The Classified World of Antigravity,” that the Philadelphia Experiment was, “A neat piece of disinformation.” He goes on to say that it was “… stuffed full of real elements …” If in fact the book is disinformation, not just Moore having woven lies based on myth to generate income, and stuffed full of real elements, I wanted to know what those elements are. Furthermore, I delighted in learning just how disinformers go about creating a warped and false argument all the while drawing people into a conflicting perception of reality based on bits of truth. So, I set out to systematically investigate one of the purported facts in the book from a composite of details involving Johnny von Neumann. I have been fascinated with the man for years; the man who conceived of game theory and thereby likely saved us from WWIII by enabling the successful concepts of nuclear deterrence. I had also read an excellent biography of his life, a biography that was a long time coming since much of von Neumann’s life had been classified due to his wartime contributions.
According to Moore in the Philadelphia Experiment, Dr. Rinehart (pseudonym), AKA Franklin Reno, agreed to be interviewed at an undisclosed location, on an undisclosed date. He was purportedly hiding out because he was still being watched. He said a physicist named Dr. W.W. Albrecht (pseudonym) supervised him at an unidentified location, in an unidentified group or division that was somehow related to secret government research during WWII. And, this Dr. Rinehart thought that sometime, probably early in 1940, two or possibly three individuals from NDRC (National Defense Research Council) arrived in Albrecht’s office. One of those individuals was von Neumann; the names of the other one or two individuals he couldn’t recall. The lack of verifiable information from Moore via his purported informant made me want to pitch the Philadelphia Experiment in the nearest refuse container. But, I knew von Neumann’s wartime activities could be researched and I already knew something about his life.
Well and good, except for the fact that the first thing I uncovered was that von Neumann did not become a consultant to Division 8 of the NDRC until September 1941, more than one and one half years after the supposed 1940 meeting. (See Johnny von Neumann by Norman Macrae, Pantheon Books 1992, page 205.) He continued as a consultant for the NDRC until September 1942. His main work concerned the explosive effects of shaped charges in artillery, bombs and later torpedoes and antitank weapons, a far cry from anything like electromagnetic or unified field theories. So, I asked myself, if he wasn’t working for NDRC in 1940 as Dr. Rinehart claimed, what was von Neumann doing?
Johnny von Neumann had returned to the U.S. from Hungary in January 1939 with his new bride, Klari von Neumann. He had gone to Hungary, his birthplace, to marry Klari following her divorce from an absent husband, and then bring her home to the safety of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) at Princeton where he had worked since 1930. While there he also solicited notable mathematicians in Europe to come to the U.S. In 1939 Hitler had already occupied Czechoslovakia and he was getting ready to invade Poland. Von Neumann must have really loved Klari to take such a risk. When he returned to IAS, he continued with exams he had started before his trip, hoping to pass them and earn a reserve military commission in the U. S. Army. As brilliant as he was he easily passed the exams, but unfortunately he turned 35 years old during this period. As a result, he was denied the commission due to his age. So, he continued his work at IAS.
Oswald Veblen, a professor of mathematics at Princeton, brought von Neumann to the U.S. in 1930. This is the same Veblen mentioned by Dr. Rinehart in Moore’s book as one of von Neumann’s associates. In reflection, Rinehart later thought, von Neumann was actually at his office by accident the day that he had to work from Einstein’s notes and that it was Veblen, or possibly someone from the NDRC, who brought the notes down. (Einstein’s notes, P.E. page 193) This would have followed the original meeting of persons from NDRC in January 1940, but undoubtedly still sometime in early 1940. But recall, von Neumann was not associated with NDRC in 1940, nor was Veblen.
From 1917 until 1919 Veblen was Major Oswald Veblen on wartime leave from Princeton working at the Aberdeen Proving Ground (Army) in Maryland. After the war he returned to Princeton to teach. In 1940 he was a member of the Officers’ Reserve Corps and he continued his association with Aberdeen Proving Ground in the area of ballistics as a consultant. Through Veblen, von Neumann also consulted with Aberdeen while at IAS. According to Macrae, von Neumann wrote one paper in 1940 with military application, published report 175, “The Estimation of Probable Errors for Successive Differences.” The paper calculated where to aim after missing several times and the paper earned him the reputation of an expert on bombing patterns. Curiously, the paper was coauthored by the physicist Robert Harrington Kent, also mentioned by Moore (P.E. page 185.) Kent, Dr. Rinehart said, invented the solenoid chronograph. Supposedly, Kent came up with the idea of using the principles of resonance to generate a sufficient magnetic field to bend light. Veblen and Kent were intimately associated with von Neumann in 1940, but the context of their associations appears to be unrelated to the Philadelphia Experiment, NDRC or the Navy. There is a “kicker” to this, however, one that suggests von Neumann might have been involved in an experiment of sorts, or at least calculations related to antigravity/quantum fluctuations and relativity.
In 1926 von Neumann arrived at Gottingen (University) on a Rockefeller grant to work with the famed mathematician David Hilbert. Also there at the time was the German school of quantum physicists (usually referred to as the Copenhagen school) whose members included Heisenberg, Pauli and Bohr. Schrodinger was nearby in Switzerland and the battle between particle and wave concepts of quantum theory raged on. The mathematics of the particle theory, championed by Heisenberg, were excessively complex and incomplete while Schrodinger’s wave equations were by comparison easy to work out. Hilbert had realized that mathematics had snagged on a roadblock. Physicists had been working in three dimensional space configurations and he felt it was time to expand the mathematical concepts to include from four to an infinite number of variables, i.e. multidimensionality and even partial dimensionality. This was later named Hilbert Space. Von Neumann took up Hilbert’s cause and solved a number of the Hilbert Space equations. “He found that what really determines the dimensional structure of space is the group of rotations that it permits. He moved to create axioms for space with dimensions that can vary continuously.” (Macrea, page 140.) “He also extended spectral theory, which means a theory of vibration. Classical examples of spectral theory are the sounds emitted by musical instruments.” (Note: These are also called standing waves. Check out the Hutchinson Effect. Hutchinson uses standing waves to create antigravity effects.) The Casimir Effect (1948), quantum fluctuations from the vacuum now believed to be responsible for antigravity effects, (see below, last paragraph) had not yet been discovered, but Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, Dirac’s rips in space and Pauli’s antimatter predicted it.
Back to 1940, what was von Neumann doing? “… most of his papers in 1940 continued to be about rings of operators in abstract Hilbert Space.” (Macrea, page 197.) He also coauthored a physics paper with S. Chandrasekhar, “The Statistics of Gravitational Field Arising from a Random Distribution of Stars.” These are precisely the mathematics from quantum theory intersected with relativity theory that might have evolved a unified field theory. Although Neumann lived in close proximity to Einstein at the time and they undoubtedly spoke often, Einstein objected to the statistical analysis of quantum physics with his famous statement that “God doesn’t play dice with the universe.” And although his Unified Field Theory is given increasing credibility as a theory today, it seems unlikely that Einstein would have assimilated quantum physics into his theory, which more than likely would have been necessary to explain the physics necessary to tweak the vacuum of space and achieve multidimensionality as proposed in the Philadelphia Experiment. But, Johnny von Neumann was right there, working both sides of the fence, in quantum and relativistic theory.
Eventually, von Neumann did become involved with the Navy and degaussing ships as told by Moore’s informant Dr. Rinehart, but not until he accepted an invitation from Vannevar Bush (Head of Office of Scientific Research) to contract with the Navy Department, Bureau of Ordnance beginning in September 1942. He had to leave the NDRC to work for the Navy and he worked full time in Washington D.C. until the end of 1942. From January 1942 until July 1943 he was lent to England to solve their problems with the mines laid by German U-boats. The Germans had attached a device to the mines that prevented them from being detonated the first time they were touched. Mine sweeping no longer worked to clear England’s harbors. Von Neumann apparently solved the problem. In mid-1943 he was abruptly called back to the U.S., supposedly to help out with the A-bomb. But, in a letter to a fellow scientist, Ulam in September 1943, von Neumann said he was in the southwest (Los Alamos), but also in 3 or 4 different places each week. Although most of the facts presented by Moore from Dr. Rinehart concerning von Neumann just do not add up, one is forced to ask the question, why was von Neumann abruptly called back to the U.S. from England in mid-1943, about the same time the Philadelphia Experiment supposedly took place.
I have personally spoken with Bill Moore on a number of occasions. In late 1999 he told me he was working on something new. He asked me, “What are the two parts of a wave?” I immediately knew what he expected me to say, the top and the bottom (crest and trough), but I hate guessing games. So, I responded, “Amplitude and frequency.” He looked shocked, his face kind of lighted up and he began repeating over and over in an almost monotone voice, “Amplitude and frequency … amplitude and frequency … amplitude and frequency.” As much as I admire the man for bringing about a near worldwide awareness of the fantastic possibilities of multidimensionality, time travel and aliens, I do not believe he is scientifically or mathematically adept enough to infuse the Philadelphia Experiment with the depth of credible facts it encompasses. This suggests to me that Moore, your average English and French high school teacher in Minnesota, was put up to it (both the Philadelphia Experiment and Roswell) by “someone.” Anybody’s guess who or whom that might be.
Twenty-five years later, the fantastic possibilities proposed by Moore in the Philadelphia Experiment are at the edge of admitted scientific possibilities and serious mainstream scientific research is being conducted. On August 1, 2004 a Dr. Mohideen at NASA displayed a picture of a tiny ball on the Internet that “… provides clear evidence that the universe will expand forever.” How? By measuring the Casimir Effect, which is believed to relate to the mysterious dark matter that repels all matter, i.e., antigravity, by virtue of quantum fluctuations. With antigravity proposed, the obvious follow must include the possibility of time distortion and multidimensionality. I think von Neumann would have appreciated this announcement in ways we can’t imagine.
