Indoda egama lingu-Al Bielek, eyathi yayisisifundo sovavanyo lweeMvavanyo zoMkhosi zase-US eziyimfihlo, yathi ngo-Agasti 12, 1943, uMkhosi waManzi wase-US wenze uvavanyo olubizwa ngokuba yi "Philadelphia Experiment" kwi-USS Eldridge, kwiFiladelphia Naval. I-Shipyard, emva kokufaka izixhobo ezikhethekileyo kuyo. Kolu vavanyo, kuthiwa bathumela inqanawa kunye nabo bonke abasebenzi bayo imizuzu eyi-10 emva kwexesha, beyenza ukuba ibonakale 'ingabonakali', kwaye emva koko ibabuyisele kwixesha langoku.
Ngenxa yoko, abaninzi koomatiloshe ababekhwele enqanaweni baphambana, abaninzi baphulukana neenkumbulo zabo, abanye bantyumpantyumpeka ngamadangatye bafa, kwaye abanye badityaniswa nemolekyuli kwisakhiwo sentsimbi yenqanawa. Nangona kunjalo, ngokukaBielek, yena nomntakwabo, ababekhwele inqanawa yovavanyo ngelo xesha, batsiba ngaphambi nje kokuba kuvuleke ixesha le-warp baza basinda ngaphandle kokwenzakala. Kukho ukuphikisana okukhulu malunga nokuba esi siganeko siyinyani okanye hayi. Kodwa ukuba ulingo olunjalo lwenzekile ngenene ngokungathandabuzekiyo yenye yeyona mfihlelo yoyikekayo kwimbali yoluntu.
Uvavanyo lwaseFiladelphia: iProjekthi yeRainbow
Ngokuka-Al Bielek, umhla we-12 ka-Agasti, ngo-2003, lusuku olubaluleke kakhulu lokukhumbula iprojekthi yokungabonakali yoMkhosi waManzi wase-US kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Philadelphia Experiment. UBielek ubanga ukuba - nge-12 ka-Agasti 1943 - uMkhosi wamanzi, emva kokufaka izixhobo ezikhethekileyo kwi-USS Eldridge, wenza inqanawa kunye nabasebenzi bayo banyamalala kwizibuko lasePhiladelphia ngaphezulu kweeyure ezi-4.
Ubume obuchanekileyo bolu vavanyo luvulelekile ekucingeni. Uvavanyo olunokwenzeka lubandakanya imifuniselo yokungabonakali kwemagnethi, ukungabonakali kwerada, ukungabonakali kwamehlo okanye ukususwa kwe-degaussing ― ukunika inqanawa ikhuseleke kwimigodi yemagnethi. Iimvavanyo zenziwa, kuphela ukuvelisa iziphumo ezingathandekiyo. Emva koko, iprojekthi - ebizwa ngokuba yi "Project Rainbow" - yarhoxiswa.
Kwenzeke ntoni kanye kanye ngexesha loVavanyo lwasePhiladelphia?
Iiseti ezimbini ezahlukeneyo zemisitho engaqhelekanga zenza "Uvavanyo lwePhiladelphia." Zombini zijikeleza i-Navy Destroyer escort, i-USS Eldridge, kunye neziganeko ezenzeka ngeentsuku ezimbini ezahlukeneyo ehlotyeni nasekwindla ka-1943.
Kuvavanyo lokuqala, indlela etyholwa ngayo yokusetyenziswa kombane yavumela i-USS Eldridge ukuba ibonakaliswe ngokungabonakaliyo ngoJulayi 22, 1943, kwi-Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Uvavanyo lwesibini olunamahemuhemu yayiluhambo lwe-teleport kunye nexesha elincinci lokuhamba (kunye nenqanawa yathumela imizuzwana embalwa kwixesha elidlulileyo) ye-USS Eldridge ukusuka kwi-Philadelphia Naval Shipyard ukuya eNorfolk, eVirginia, ngo-Oktobha 28, 1943.
Iintsomi ezoyikisayo zabahambi ngolwandle ababambeneyo kunye noomatiloshe ababambeke ngaphakathi kwentsimbi ye-USS Eldridge bahlala bekhapha olu vavanyo, kunye ne-USS Eldrige iphinda ivele kwimizuzwana kamva kumanzi ajikeleze iPhiladelphia. Ukucengcelezwa kweziganeko ezingqonge iPhiladelphia Experiment yesibini kudla ngokubandakanya inqanawa yomthwalo kunye neqela lothutho, i-SS Andrew Furuseth. I-lore yovavanyo lwesibini ithi abo bakhwele i-Andrew Furuseth bajonge i-USS Eldridge kunye nabasebenzi bayo njengoko babethumela ngocingo eNorfolk okomzuzwana ngaphambi kokuba inqanawa ibuyele emanzini e-Philadelphia.
Ngaphambi kweminyaka yoo-1950s, akukho marhe ezinto ezingaqhelekanga ezijikeleze nayiphi na i-teleport okanye imifuniselo engabonakaliyo eMntla Melika ngexesha le-1940s, singasathethi ke kwindawo ejikeleze iPhiladelphia.
UCarl Meredith Allen, esebenzisa igama elinguCarlos Miguel Allende, wathumela uthotho lweeleta kwisazi ngeenkwenkwezi kunye nombhali uMorris K. Jessup. UJessup ubhale iincwadi ezininzi zokuqala ze-UFO ezibandakanya impumelelo ethambileyo Ityala le-UFO. U-Allen wabanga ukuba kwi-SS Andrew Furuseth ngexesha lovavanyo lwesibini, ebona i-USS Eldridge iphuma emanzini eNorfolk kwaye yanyamalala ngokukhawuleza emoyeni.
UCarl Allen akazange anike bungqina bokungqinisisa oko wayebanga ukungqina ngo-Oktobha 28, 1943. Waphumelela ingqondo kaMorris Jessup, owaqala ukulwela imbono ka-Allen yoMfuniselo wasePhiladelphia. U-Jessup, nangona kunjalo, wasweleka kwiminyaka emine emva kokudibana kwakhe okokuqala no-Allen ngokubonakala kokuzibulala.
Ukuhambisa inqanawa enobunzima obungamawaka etoni kushiya umzila wephepha ongenakuthintelwa. Ngomhla we-Philadelphia "Invisibility" Experiment, Julayi 22, 1943, i-USS Eldridge yayingekathunyelwa. I-USS Eldridge yachitha imini yovavanyo lwe-teleportation kutyholwa, ngo-Okthobha wama-28, 1943, ngokukhuselekileyo ngaphakathi kwizibuko laseNew York, ilindele ukukhapha inqanawa yomkhosi waselwandle ukuya eCasablanca. I-SS Andrew Norfolk yachitha umhla wama-28 ku-Okthobha ka-1943, inqumla uLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki isendleleni eya kwizibuko leMeditera kwisixeko saseOran, igxeka nangakumbi amagqabaza kaCarl Allen.
Kwaye ekuqaleni kwee-1940s, uMkhosi waManzi wenze iimfuniselo zokwenza iinqanawa zomkhosi “zingabonakali” kwiinqanawa zaseFiladelphia Naval Shipyards, kodwa ngendlela eyahlukileyo kunye neseti eyahluke ngokupheleleyo yeziphumo ezinqwenelekayo.
Kolu vavanyo, abaphandi baye baqhuba umsinga wombane kumakhulu eemitha zentambo yombane bejikeleza isiqu senqanawa ukuze babone ukuba banokwenza iinqanawa “zingabonakali” ngaphantsi kwamanzi nakwimigodi engaphezulu. IJamani yafaka imigodi yamagnetic kwiindawo zemidlalo yasemanzini - imigodi eya kuthi ibambelele kumbindi wentsimbi yeenqanawa njengoko zisondela. Ngokwethiyori, le nkqubo iya kwenza ukuba iinqanawa zingabonakali kwiimpawu zemagneti zemigodi.
Kwiminyaka engamashumi asixhenxe kamva, sishiywe ngaphandle kobungqina obuthembekileyo be-Philadelphia Experiment (s), kodwa amahemuhemu ayaqhubeka. Ukuba awukaqinisekanga, cinga ngale meko ngenye indlela. Akukho siganeko, nokuba sisiphi na isimo esoyikekayo, esinokumisa uphuhliso lwetekhnoloji yokuthumela umnxeba ukuba umkhosi ukholelwa ukuba kunokwenzeka. Isixhobo esinjalo siya kuba sisixhobo sangaphambili esixabiseke kakhulu emfazweni kunye nomqolo wamashishini amaninzi ezorhwebo, kodwa kumashumi eminyaka kamva, i-teleportation isavalelwe kwindawo yentsomi yesayensi.
Ngowe-1951, iUnited States yafudusela iEldrige kwilizwe laseGrisi. IGrisi yabhaptiza inqanawa iHS Leon, isebenzisa inqanawa kwimisebenzi edibeneyo yase-US ngexesha leMfazwe ebandayo. I-USS Eldridge yadibana nesiphelo esingathandekiyo, kunye nenqanawa eyayirhoxisiwe yathengiswa kwifemu yaseGrisi njengenkunkuma emva kwamashumi amahlanu eminyaka yenkonzo.
Ngo-1999, amalungu alishumi elinesihlanu e-USS Eldridge crew abambe indibano kwakhona kwisiXeko sase-Atlantic, kunye namagqala ekhalaza amashumi eminyaka emibuzo ejikeleze inqanawa ababesebenza kuyo.
