Everyone better be careful while building those shortwave radios, ham
radios, or cb radios. I found this posted on the web. LOL
Then there's the guy who traveled back in time by accident. Although
he does not identify himself, the author of this Reverse Time Travel
Anecdote is part of the Emanon Inventor's Association. According to
the story, this guy was trying to build a short-wave radio and -
shazam! - was transported back in time!
Excerpt: "About five minutes to four in the morning, and still taking
voltage checks, my friend received a rather pronounced static
discharge from the radio. He noticed that, just above the coils, was a
very peculiar glowing electrical field just above the center of the
coils. This glowing field lasted about six - seven seconds and, then,
abruptly disappeared. The most amazing thing, though, was the fact
that after this field disappeared, ALL THE CLOCKS IN HIS APARTMENT HAD
MOVED FROM 3:55 A.M. TO TEN P.M.!! (...time went backwards...)"
After this incident, the experimenter unplugged his radio, got drunk
and went to bed. There's no indication of whether or not there was an
effort to duplicate the experiment or document the findings. Oh
well... another profound loss for science.
