es the pros and cons of the experiment's very
existence and speculates on the technology
that could have been behind it. The US
Navy recently admitted it had performed
degaussing procedures on the Eldridge in
dry dock, but not experiments to induce
invisibility. According to speculation (no
official documents are available or known to
exist), the Navy got more than it bargained
for: hyperdimensional teletransportation/
time travel of the Eldridge!
Childress also reprints documents from the
untraceable Time Travel Mechanical
Services, describing, among other devices, a
Polyphase Warp Harmonic Field Array, pur-
portedly in wide use in the 23rd century! He
reprints the schematics (but no explanations)
of the Hyper Dimensional Resonator from
self-confessed time traveller Steven Gibbs;
the Wing-Makers time capsule rave; and
enough patents and diagrams to satisfy the
technically minded and imaginative.
