Speaker 1 (00:54):
Get ready to be amazed by the wizard of weird.
This is Strange Warren. I am Joshua pe Warren, and
each week on this show, I'll be bringing a brand
new my glowing content, news exercises and weird in experiments
(01:17):
you can do at home, and a lot more.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
On this edition of the show.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Scientists Announce Time Mirrors. I almost did not do this
show because I have been reading about this thing, time mirrors,
and I still don't understand it. And I thought to myself, well,
how can I sit down and do a show about
(01:48):
this topic when I don't even understand it? But then
I realized, oh, yeah, you know it's that seems counterintuitive,
but duh. This show is about mysteries, it's about things
we don't understand, and so I guess it's okay. You know,
I always find it weird when people call me a
paranormal expert, because you can't really be an expert on
(02:12):
what we don't know. So I'm an expert at what
we don't know. So here's what's gonna happen in this show.
We together, you and I together, we are going to
try to see if we can wrap our minds around
what this thing is called time mirrors. And this is
real science, Okay, this is some kind of like freaky
(02:34):
metaphysical out there new age. Now this is like some
solid quantum physics here, time mirrors, and we'll just see
if we can figure it out together. Quick update for you,
thousands of people have sent a wish to be electronically
(02:55):
transferred via the portal. If you go to the real
blackmailbox dot com or thegodsigil dot com, you'll find an
email address there and you send what you want to
that email and it actually is connected to the entangler,
which will transmit that through the portal. And I do
(03:17):
want to say, however, there are a fragment. There's a
sliver of you out there who are not exactly following
the instructions. Make sure you send it to the exact
email on that page. I have other email addresses that
are similar to that. So like some of you have
accidentally sent me your wish and that's not going to
(03:40):
do any good. Go to that page the real blackmail
box dot com or the godsigil, and sigil is spelled
s I G I L s I G I L,
and there you will find an email address and make
sure you are sending it to that particular address on
the page that is the one that goes into the entangler.
(04:02):
If you think you may have messed up, that's fine.
I'm still accepting them. And all you have to do
is send an email to that and I'm supposed to
never even see what your wish is.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Aw Free.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
You don't have to sign up for any of that business. Okay,
now let's get back to this mirror stuff. I became
a professional paranormal investigator when I was a teenager. And
here's what I mean by that. You know, I published
my first book when I was like fourteen or fifteen.
I was working for the newspaper when I was sixteen,
I mean like the pro newspaper, and so I was
(04:37):
already really good at going out and doing research and
interviewing people and writing up articles and such, and so
people would hire me and say, I think my house
is haunted and I would like to have a paranormal profile,
and so I would come in. I would get the
story best I could from the mouths of the people
(04:59):
the read, and then I would go to the library
in the courthouse and I would find all the documents
that I could get about the history of the property,
and then I would do a paranormal investigation with scientific tools,
and then I would combine all that into a report,
and so they would get a nice little report that
has a write up about like, here's everything that we
(05:22):
know about your property and why you may be experiencing
this stuff. So, if you are somebody who's interested in
becoming a professional paranormal investigator, that's one way of doing
it in your community. Tell somebody like, look it's five
hundred bucks or a thousand bucks or whatever. You go in,
you investigate the house with your tools, you look into
the history of it, and then you put a report
(05:42):
together and that's especially helpful for businesses like hotels that
might want to promote their spooky activity around Halloween. Well,
when I was doing that, I noticed very quickly that
often someone would say this is the most haunted room,
and I would walk again, and I would find at
some point there were two mirrors facing each other, and
(06:08):
maybe not you know, dead on, but just at least
two reflective surfaces that were facing each other and creating
a little bit of that uh tunnel of infinity effect.
And this happened so often that I finally got to
the point where when I would walk into somebody's house
(06:29):
and I'd say, wait, don't tell me where the activity
is happening. Let me see if I can figure it out.
And I would walk room to room and then I
would find a room that had some kind of setup
like this, where there is a mirror facing a mirror,
or reflective thing facing a reflective thing, and I would say,
is this the spot? They say, yes, how did you know?
(06:51):
And you know that's without using tools or anything. So
I realized early on that there is something about mirrors
and the paranormal, and the way I viewed it is, okay,
what does a mirror do? A mirror reflects light, and
what is light light is electromagnetism. And so these ghosts,
(07:15):
whatever they are, these spirits, they obviously manifest in an
electromagnetic form. Not to mention the electrostatics, I don't want
to get too far off the rails here, but so
if these are electromagnetic forms, then they should be affected
by these mirrors that are reflecting electromagnetism. And so maybe
(07:39):
when you have two mirrors facing each other and they're
creating that what appears to the eye to be like
an infinite tunnel, maybe it actually is an infinite tunnel
of electromagnetism on that scale. And this is almost like
a simple portal. I kind of feel like that when
you look at your own eyes in the mirror, you're
(08:02):
creating the same kind of effect. You're creating a portal.
You're looking into the black hole or holes if you
have two eyes. And we can't comprehend exactly how this works,
but there's something about having those mirrors face each other
(08:22):
which is very important. And of course I'm sure all
of you are familiar with, like the childhood tradition of
growing up and doing the Bloody Mary sort of party
ritual where you go into the bathroom. Let's say you're
having you know, your friends over at night, and late
(08:44):
at night, you go into the bathroom one at a
time by yourself, and you look in the mirror. You
say bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, bloody Mary, to see if
she's going to appear. I looked into that. Here's what
it says. Bloody Mary is a legend of a ghost, phantom, witch,
or spirit conjured to reveal the future. She is said
(09:07):
to appear in a mirror when her name is chanted repeatedly.
The Bloody Mary apparition may be benevolent or malevolent, depending
on historical variations of the legend. Bloody Mary appearances are
mostly witnessed in group participation play. Here's what it says
about the history of this ritual. Historically, the divination ritual
(09:31):
encouraged young women to walk up a flight of stairs backward,
holding a candle and a hand mirror in a darkened house.
As they gazed into the mirror, they were supposed to
be able to catch a view of their future husband's face.
There was, however, a chance they would see a skull
(09:53):
or the face of the grim reaper instead, indicating that
they were going to die before they would have the
chance to marry eeh. In the ritual of today, Bloody
Mary allegedly appears to individuals or groups who ritualistically invoke
her name in an act of katop dramancy. Katop dramancy.
(10:19):
You ever heard that word. That's a new one to me,
Believe it or not. We're going to look into that
in a minute. What is katop tramancy says. This is
done by repeating, repeatedly chanting her name into a mirror
placed in a dimly lit or candlelit room. The name
must be uttered three times or some other specified number
of times, and then they go on to say. The
(10:42):
Bloody Mary apparition allegedly appears as a corpse, witch or
ghost that can be friendly, evil, or a demonic spirit,
and sometimes seeing covered in blood. The lore surrounding the
ritual states that participants may endure the apara screaming at them,
cursing them, strangling them, stealing their soul, drinking their blood,
(11:06):
or scratching their eyes out. Nobody's sure exactly who Bloody
Mary is, says, A number of historical figures have been
put forward. Mary the First of England, daughter of Henry
the eighth. She had around three hundred religious Protestant dissenters
burned at the stake. Mary Worth, who has been identified
(11:29):
as either a woman who killed slaves escaping the American
South or a woman who was burned at the stake
during the witch trials. Okay, when we come back, we're
gonna dig deeper into this whole thing. What is CAPOPDRAMANTSI
and how our mirrors made. We're going to dig a
little deeper into this mirror mystery and then and then
(11:52):
we're gonna find out what the deal is with this
new thing scientists are talking about call time mirrors. You
know what, six weeks ago, I ordered an item that
I need for a research project from a company online
that presented itself as a US company, and they suckered
me in. I bought it and I thought I was
(12:14):
gonna have it shipped to me within maybe a week.
It's been six weeks. This was a company in China.
And I just want you to know if you go
to Joshua P. Warren dot com, everything in the Curiosity
Shop there is made here in the USA. It ships
from the USA. You'll get it quickly. Go to Joshua P.
Warren dot com and not only the Curiosity Shop, but
(12:38):
sign up for my free e newsletter there on the
homepage as well. I am Joshua pe Warren. And you
are listening to Range Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. And I will be
right back.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Welcome back to Strange.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast a AM
Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,
Joshua P. Warren.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Beat me into your worm whole brain from my studio
in send.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
The city Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden
and every night is silver.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Of Gietato Zube.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You know, it is said that the great scientific genius
of ancient Greece, Archimede, used gigantic mirrors on the shoreline
during a battle the Siege of Syracuse. All these big
wooden ships were coming in and he created what some
(14:15):
call the Archimedes death ray by taking these huge mirrors
and focusing the sunlight on these ships out at sea
and causing them to burst into flames. And nobody knows
for sure if that is true, but it certainly could
have worked. I have started many fires using mirrors, and
(14:37):
you know it doesn't take much, especially if you have
a little concave mirror, one that dips in. I mean,
if you get the sun hitting that thing the right way,
it will produce a bead of heat, just like a
magnifying glass, and you can burn things easily. As a
matter of fact, I recall years ago reading a news
(14:58):
story about some kind of a sculpture. I haven't brushed
up on this, but some kind of a piece of
art that somebody put in the middle of a town
here in the US, I think, and it happened to
have an element that was shiny and concave, and so
it accidentally was creating this one spot over top of
(15:21):
it where it was concentrating sunlight. And they didn't realize
what was happening until they started finding dead birds around
it because these birds had gone through it just got
toasted accidentally by flying over this pretty much large concave mirror.
So there is a lot of mirrors have power on
(15:45):
so many different levels. Speaking of ancient Greece, do you
remember the the Aesop fable about the dog and its reflection.
Let's see here the dog its reflection. One of Aesop's fables.
(16:06):
Let's see the fable is that a dog is carrying
a stolen piece of meat and he looks down as
he's walking beside or crossing a stream and sees his
own reflection in the water, and taking that for another
dog carrying something better, he opens his mouth to attack
the other dog, and endoing so drops his piece of
(16:30):
meat into the water, where it is lost. This is
a lesson about greed. You know that he had his
piece of meat and he should have been satisfied, but
he was greedy. So he sees what he thinks is
another dog and he wants that dog's piece of meat,
but in his stupidity, he ends up losing everything. He
(16:53):
loses his piece of meat and he has nothing. See mirrors,
They function in a variety of ways when it comes
to helping us to understand life. Let's see what the
definition of a mirror is. A mirror, also known as
a looking glass, is an object that reflects an image,
(17:15):
and of course they reverse the direction of light and
blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Okay, so let's see here.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Let's look at the history of this. The first mirrors
used by humans were most likely pools of still water
were shiny stones. Imagine living your whole life and the
only time you ever get to see what you look
like is if you find a still pool of water
(17:42):
with the right lighting conditions. Can you can you imagine that?
It's crazy?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Says.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
The requirements for making a good mirror are a surface
with a very high degree of flatness, preferably but not necessarily,
with high reflectivity, and a surface roughness smaller than the
wavelength of the light. Wow, that's kind of mind boggling
if you think about it a mirror. Every time you
look into a mirror, you're looking at something that has
(18:11):
a surface roughness smaller than the wavelength of light, says.
The earliest manufactured mirrors were pieces of polished stone such
as obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass. They found a
bunch of those around and then in the Bronze age,
looks like they were polishing discs of bronze, copper, silver,
(18:34):
other metals and which actually, that's something else I want
to get into, because a lot of these early mirrors
they did use silver. And let's see, mirrors which are
reflective on the front surface may be made of any
(18:56):
rigid material. Like I'm just kind of like reading all
all this crap about mirrors right now. But basically, like,
you know, a lot of people used to take silver
and use that to back glass and make make mirrors,
and I think there may be something to the silver
connection with mirrors and the paranormal. But let's get back
(19:20):
to where we were before the break, Okay. So I
brought up this word that new to me, katop dramancy
c A t O P t R M A n
c Y. It's a Greek word and it is simply
what you actually call divination using a mirror. How did
(19:40):
I not know? That? Says There are many different methods
of katop dramancy. Some practitioners use a single mirror, while
others use multiple mirrors or even crystal balls. Some people
look into the mirror in a dark room, while others
prefer to do it in natural light. Some practitioners focus
on their own reflection, while others look for visions of
(20:02):
other people or events. And then there's a whole list
of all these people who used it, you know, the
ancient Greeks, the ancient Romans, says. The practice of cataptromancy
is said to date back to the ancient Egyptians. They
believed that mirrors could be used as portals guiding them
(20:25):
into the afterlife or used as a tool to see
into the future. Mirrors have been found inside Egyptian burial
tombs and were used in ceremonial practices attempting to contact
the dead. For example, a collection of Feutererary manuscripts known
as the Book of the Dead describes a ritual in
(20:48):
which a mirror could be used by the recently deceased
to unite with their mortal soul by looking at their
own reflection in the afterlife. And of course Chinese. I
actually have some of these Chinese mirrors around my house.
What are those Chinese mirrors called? I can never remember.
I think it starts with the bee. Let's see Chinese
(21:10):
mirrors for like you can you can uh, what's not
bagua b a g u a bagua. I guess that's
how you pronounce you know. There there are mirrors that
the Chinese have in their culture and UH that are
either concave or convexts, and they're used to affect the
foun chua of an area and UH. Essentially H. The
(21:34):
idea is that you can absorb negative energy, or you
can project negative energy back away from you. And uh,
let's see. I'm not sure let's do what it says
about the Chinese, but I I you know what it
(21:55):
works for me, works for me. Uh let's see here
what they were saying I was, I got too much
stuff in front of me. Okay, here we go. Cataptramancy
was practiced in ancient China. The Chinese believed that mirrors
(22:17):
could be used to see into the soul and to
predict the future. They would often use mirrors to perform
rituals to cleanse the soul and improve one's luck. For example,
one popular ritual involve gazing into a mirror in a
dark room and trying to see the reflection of one's
future spouse. So this kind of thing, you know, is
(22:39):
to India. In Europe, they believed that witches lived in mirrors,
and so sometimes if you had too many mirrors around,
that was a problem. It's crazy Europeans, man, they were
always looking for like an excuse to bird somebody. So okay,
(23:00):
well that's what the top romancy is. But if you
look up, we're mirrors made with silver. It says, yes,
many historical and even some modern mirrors are made with silver,
particularly with the silver ring process invented by Justice von
(23:23):
Liebig in eighteen thirty five, which uses a thin layer
of silver chemically bonded to the glass. However, not all
mirrors are silver. Blah blah blah, all right, And I
find that interesting because that, you know, silver, it actually
does have medical uses. This is not some kind of bunk.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
People have used.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Silver for thousands of years to dress wounds. It has
an anti bacterial element. They use it as a cream, literally,
as an anti biotic coating on medical devices. You know, obviously, Well,
let's see here. If you go and you look at
the history of people using silver, this is interesting. Hippocrates
(24:14):
and his writings discussed the use of silver and wound care.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, surgeons routinely used
silver sutures to reduce the risk of infection. In the
early twentieth century, physicians used silver containing eye drops to
treat eye problems everything from epilepsy to gonorrhea common cold.
(24:38):
During World War One, soldiers used silver leaf to treat
infected wounds. Got to take a break. When we come back,
let's talk a little bit more about silver and mirrors
and scaring off bad things like vampires and where. And
(25:00):
I have some freaky audio I want to play for you.
I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
And I will be back after these important messages.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Welcome back to Strange Things.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
All the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Normal
Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua Pete war And this
is the show where the unusual becomes usual. Yeah. The
ancient Greeks they really understood and appreciated the power of
mirrors in both a physical sense, you know, creating a
(26:19):
death ray, but also the more subtle psychological conscious or
consciousness oriented For example, I mean, I have a famous,
some would say infamous mirror hanging on the wall of
my house. It is doctor Raymond Moody's psychomantium mirror. He
(26:46):
sort of rediscovered an ancient Greek technique used to look
at a mirror in order to create a state of
mind in which you see a deceased loved one alive
again and you're able to interact with that person and
(27:08):
he traveled all around the world with this mirror that
now hangs on my wall, training people on this technique.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, if you've
never heard of this, go way back and listen to
episode thirty one of this podcast called Strange Things, Episode
thirty one, and that episode is titled the Psychomantium Reunions
(27:30):
with the Dead, and it will tell you the technique
and the whole story. But that's just another example of
how much impact that mirrors have had and getting back
to health. I mean, you know, again, it's a little
bit of a stretch in some cases to connect silver
to mirrors, but a lot of mirrors used to be
(27:53):
made with silver, and silver does have medicinal uses. Getting
back to that, let's see here. In the eighteen forties,
founder of gynacology, Jay Marion Simms, employed silver wire, which
he had a jeweler fashion, as a suture and gynecological surgery,
(28:17):
and this produced very favorable results when compared with his
predecessors silk and catgut. Okay, I'm sorry, I read that.
Prior to the introduction of modern antibiotics, colloidal silver was
a germicide and disinfectant. You know what. Many years ago,
(28:38):
I was at a conference and there was a man
there and he was basically blue as a smurf. I mean,
actually he was more purple than blue, but I mean
he and he stood out like a sore thumb. And
this was a guy who just drank boatloads of coloidal
silver all the time. And I mean I met him briefly,
(29:02):
but I didn't really talk to him at length. My
buddy Dean, Dean Warsing talked to him at length, I think.
And the guy's name was Paul Carrason k A R
A s o N. If you've never seen what this
man looked like, uh type in Paul Carrason k A
R s O N. He he had all kinds of
medical issues, and so he started drinking tons of colloidal silver,
(29:27):
going way overboard, you know, like a bathtub, and he
turned he turned blue, he turned purple, I don't know.
And he got famous for it. But turns out he
died anyway, when he was sixty two years old. And
he said, despite you know, him going to all these
(29:48):
lengths to maintain help through colloidal silver, he was uh,
he was a heavy smoker, how about that? So he
finally had a heart attack, and then that led to
pneumonia and then a severe stroke. And that's something how
that like somebody can care so much about his health
(30:09):
to do that, but then smokes, smokes NonStop. But going
further down this planet, this this train of thought here.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
When it comes to.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Silver, I've always felt that silver having an antibiotic property,
having healing properties, and this is proven, you can look
it up yourself, is probably the root of why that
silver is thought to be effective against were wolves, vampires, witches.
(30:47):
I mean, everybody knows you shoot a were wolf with
a silver bullet, but you may may not realize that
it also they say hurts vampires and witches. And in fact,
I remember reading in some lore that like a werewolf
dies and then becomes a vampire, So there's a connection
(31:08):
between a werewolf and a vampire. But I think it
all goes back to this idea that silver is good
and pure and bright and antibiotic, and that it kills
negative things. And that's why you get the lone ranger
running around with his white hat shooting people with a
silver bullet, and that's why we're shooting werewolves with silver.
(31:32):
So just to you know, side note about the possible
connection between silver and mirrors and the mystical. But when
I was a young man and I was finding that
these mirrors reflecting each other were seemed, you know, somehow
enhancing paranormal phenomena.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
One day I sat.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Down and I took six square mirrors and I glued
them all together to form a cuebe And the mirrors
were on the inside of the cube, and then I
put a microphone on the side of it, and I
started recording, and it started giving me some really creepy,
(32:14):
messed up, freaky sounds, and I realized that I created
some kind of an antenna that may almost be like
a portal antenna. And because the sounds were creepy, I
called it the Devil's toy box, which, if you really
want to know, goes back to when I was a
(32:37):
real little kid. My mom and dad bought a VHS camcorder,
and so my sister Jessica and I, Jessica's six years
younger than me, we would go out and make, you know,
stupid little videos. You probably do the same thing if
you grew up in the nineteen eighties or whatever. I
was born in seventy six. She was born in eighty two.
I think, yeah, that's right. So we would go out,
(33:01):
we'd make make we'd make videos, and we made this
dumb little horror video one time where her toy box
was haunted and like all these creepy monsters would come
out of it. And I called it the Devil's Toy Box.
So that name stuck with me. And then when I
started talking about this thing I created on radio shows,
(33:22):
I didn't want to take credit for it because I
was concerned that I didn't want to be associated with
the devil and or or something that's tapping into demons
or something creepy. I mean, you know, I had to
figure out how I wanted to be perceived, and I
didn't want people to think I was nuts. So I
would be like, oh, yeah, I've heard about this thing
(33:43):
called the Devil's Toy Box, but I didn't take credit
for it. Well, I'm taking credit for it now, Okay,
I invented the Devil's Toy Box. It doesn't matter at
this point, and people think I'm crazy. I embrace it.
I endorse it. I am the Wizard of Weird. But
it wasn't always that way. So I want to.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Play for you.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
One of the little bits of audio that I got
from the Devil's Toy Box, a cube made of mirrors,
all facing inwardly. And uh, this is many years ago
I put up. They used to have these little microphones
with a suction cup that you could put onto a
telephone if you wanted to record a phone call. So
(34:25):
I put one of these suction cups on the side
of the Devil's Toy Box and I made this recording. Okay,
are you ready, Okay, let me see if I can
find it all right, here we go.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Yeah, all right, So what was that?
Speaker 1 (34:59):
I don't know. As Einstein said, if we knew what
we were doing, we would not call it research. But
these are the kinds of sounds that you can sometimes
get from a Devil's Toy box, particularly if you bring
it to a haunted location. I don't even think I
was at a haunted location when I got that. I
think it was just at my house. I've spent this
(35:23):
whole show kind of, you know, building up to what
I'm sort of putting off, which is the main topic,
because I don't understand it time mirrors. This is just
another example of how bizarro the whole mirror thing is,
and scientists have been theorizing about this thing called a
time mirror for decades apparently, but there have been some
(35:46):
new breakthroughs due to meta materials. Meta materials are basically,
from what I understand, like man made materials. You don't
find them in nature, at least not nature that's known
to us. And they they there's a wide spectrum of
these materials, but they're able to do things that are
(36:09):
very special. And so scientists created some kind of metamaterial
and I haven't seen exactly how they made it, maybe
that's a secret or something, and they say that this
material creates this amazing effect that I'm about to tell
you about. Now. You know what's funny is that, like
(36:31):
sometimes you think to yourself, what if these scientists are
just full of it? If I don't understand it, Because
if you don't understand something and a quantum physicist does,
he's just like, look, I have the PhD. Don't worry,
you're not smart enough to understand this, but just trust me,
we have the mass. I mean, you could be at
(36:51):
dinner with the physicists and he's like, by the way,
did you know the entire world is in the belly
of a dolphin. You go, oh really, yes.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Trust me, we have math.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, fine, So I don't know, I don't know what
to think of this, But when we come back from
this break I'm going to try to fumble through this.
We're going to try to learn together what this new
advancement is and what they call time mirrors and what
(37:21):
do they do? Do they go back in time? Will
kind of and kind of not quantum physics. My friends,
I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be right back. Welcome back to the
(38:17):
final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I
am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and I believe it
was Mobius who first brought this topic to my attention.
Here is one article from Freejupiter dot com. Experts say
(38:40):
time mirrors are actually a real thing, like pressing undo
on the universe, written by Joseph Brown, published this year
in a breakthrough that sounds more like the plot of
a mind bending science fiction movie than a real world experiment.
UESS have confirmed the existence of what they call time mirrors,
(39:03):
devices that don't just bounce light or sound back at you,
but actually flip the flow of time for waves passing
through them. This discovery, spearheaded by a doctor Hussein Musa
and his team at the Advanced Science Research Center at
the City University of New York, have sent ripples through
(39:24):
the scientific community and captivated the imaginations of curious minds everywhere.
Goes on to say, most of us are familiar with
the idea of a mirror. You look into it, see
your own face staring back, and that's what scientists call
a spatial reflection. Light or sound hits the surface and
(39:44):
bounces off, changing direction in space. It's how echoes are created,
and how we catch glimpses of ourselves in windows or mirrors.
But what if a mirror could do more than just
flip your image from left to right. What if it
could lip your entire experience of time. That's exactly what
the concept of a time mirror proposes, and now, for
(40:07):
the first time, it has been demonstrated in a laboratory.
Now this is based again on a meta material. Let
me just be as specific as I can here here's
the definition. A meta material is an artificial engineered material
designed to have properties such as a negative refractive index,
(40:30):
that are not found in natural materials, by utilizing specifically
designed structures. Okay, all right, it's something that men have
made up, all right, So let's get back to what
it's saying. Happens with it. What does this time mirror do?
It says, Imagine an electromagnetic wave moving through this material.
(40:53):
Suddenly the properties of the material are altered in a
uniform and rapid way, like flipping a switch, and instead
of bouncing back into space, the wave is literally sent
backward along its own timeline. And the result is the
wave comes out of the material in reverse, as if
(41:16):
someone had pressed the rewind button on the video. So
what does that mean? Okay, Well, if we go over
here to popular Mechanics, their headline as scientists confirm the
incredible existence of time reflections, and it says, here's what
(41:40):
happens like so you can try to relate to this
if it's possible. Here's what would happen if you looked
into a time mirror as opposed to a normal mirror.
It says, basically, if you look in a time mirror,
you will see your back instead of your face. Okay,
(42:05):
they say that it's not literally going back in time,
but it is reflecting a different moment in time for
that wave or something like that. I told you this
is deep, This is really deep. This is a podcast.
(42:26):
I'm not going to try to plumb that deep. If
you want to go online and research this yourself, go
for it. It's very very deep, very deep, you know.
And if you really want to get in there, if
you want to go that deep, you're going to have
to figure this out for yourself. But it says this
(42:48):
time reflection behaves differently than spatial reflections because this time
echo reflects that last part of the signal. First, the
researchers say that if you looked in a time mirror,
(43:08):
you would see your back instead of your face. To
translate the experience acoustically, it'd be like listening to a
tape on rewind, which is to say, fast and high pitched. Okay,
So I guess we're getting a little bit closer to
understanding what they're talking about, because when you know, when
(43:30):
you rewind a tape, you're not going back in time,
so we're not literally talking about time travel. Here, which
is what it sounds like when you call this thing
a time mirror. But you're getting an experience, uh, from
the past, and so this says, Uh. The explanation this
(44:00):
is popular mechanics. The explanation of spatial reflections, whether by
light or by sound, are pretty intuitive. Electromagnetic radiation in
the form of light or sound waves hit a mirror
or a wall and change course, and this allows our
eyes to see a reflection. However, for more than fifty years,
(44:21):
scientists have theorized there's another kind of reflection in quantum mechanics,
time reflection, and it says it's not quite like getting
into a DeLorean. Instead, time reflections occur when the entire
medium in which an electromagnetic wave travels suddenly changes course.
(44:43):
This causes a portion of that wave to reverse and
its frequency transforms into another one. Again, folks, I'm not
going to pretend that I understand this. But these people,
they say, they're really really smart, and they have worked
this out in a laboratory. So somehow are other uh,
this, this mirror, this reflective surface is able to and it
(45:09):
almost seems to me here's how I'm envisioning it. It's
almost like it's it's not just bouncing something directly back
to the source, but that it is reflecting another point
of view that existed in the past. But then you
(45:31):
have these questions like, well, how far in the past
are we talking if you you know, like, well, let's
say you look at yourself and you all right, you're
facing one of these time herrors, so you see your
back because that's I guess, uh, I guess that's where
the waves were at one point. I don't know. I
(45:52):
don't get it, guys, I swear I don't. I mean,
like I'm I'm trying.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Quantum physicists. They tell you that.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
You have these things that are in a cat state.
You know they're going there they're spinning clockwise and counterclockwise
at the same time, or you know, dead and alive.
They must know what I guess I know what they're
talking about. They know how to build bombs, they can
(46:22):
they can power submarines and all that. I mean, I
guess they got to figure it out. But this is
weird stuff. I actually have a little a little toy
at my house that I sometimes break out on those
rare occasions when I invite someone over, and it's it
looks like a little a little crate, and I said,
(46:45):
there's a cat in here, and the cat it's going
to be either alive or dead when you open the box,
what do you think it's going to be alive or dead?
And then the person guesses and then you open it
and there's a cat in there. It's a little model
of a cat, and a cat is either in a
live or dead state, and nobody knows. And that goes
(47:08):
back to what they call this Schrodinger's cat thing, where
they say that like the cat is neither alive nor
dead until somebody observes its state, and then it becomes
that thing quantum physics. My friends, you know, I'm just
not smart. I'm just a dumb redneck from West North Carolina.
(47:30):
I guess I don't understand what this time mirror thing is.
But I bring this up because now we can start
looking into it more deeply, and we can figure out
more about what it means and what it is, and
we we see once again how that the concept of
(47:51):
mirrors continues to be profound and mind boggling. We're not
just talking about something that fascinated ancient people thousands of
years ago, but something that also is a regular part
of everyday life, and now is continuing to press the
boundaries of reality in science and technology into new arenas.
(48:16):
Where is this all going? I really don't know, but
I may or may not be working on a little
product that incorporates some of this stuff if I can,
if I can learn more about it and figure it
out myself. So there you go, good luck looking into
that time mirrors. It's now time for us to take
(48:41):
a deep breath. If you can close your eyes, relax,
let's end the show as we all meditate together on
