Description: Art Bell welcomes Professor Jan Newcomb Hodges, a robotics pioneer who built the first mobile robot to enter the damaged Three Mile Island reactor in 1979. Hodges explains how his decades of work in robotics, including systems for bomb squads, space exploration, and the stealth B-2 bomber program, led him into particle physics and frequency research as he sought faster computing systems beyond the limits of silicon processors.Hodges describes his experimental work with anti-gravity, claiming that by inducing a specific resonant frequency into a pure metal plate, he can alter its gravitational interaction with Earth. He reports achieving small-scale levitation effects over five years of experimentation, though stability remains a challenge. The discussion extends to theoretical teleportation, where Hodges proposes scanning and transmitting the elemental signature of objects at the particle level, though he notes that life frequencies exist above the elemental range and cannot yet be replicated.The conversation takes a philosophical turn as Hodges speculates about mapping individual life frequencies, suggesting each person carries a unique vibrational signature that could explain phenomena like instant personal connections, twin synchronicity, and even premonitions. He connects this to RFID tracking technology already in use and warns of a future where everything and everyone carries a scannable number. Art draws parallels between monitor flicker rates and reports of shadow people sightings.
