March 12, 2002: Time Traveler Open Lines - David Anderson
Podcast:The Art Bell Archive Published On: Sat Mar 15 2025 Description: Art Bell opens with one of his favorite subjects, time travel, dedicating the first hour to callers who claim to be travelers from other times or dimensions. One caller describes arriving from the Confederate States of America, a dimension where the South won the Civil War, Canada was annexed by the United States, and Atlanta replaced Detroit as the automotive capital. Another caller recounts meeting his older self at age eight, recognizing the visitor by distinctive teeth and a mole that later appeared on his own face.In the second half, Art is joined by Dr. David Anderson, a former U.S. Air Force officer and founder of the Time Travel Research Center. Anderson discusses his time-warped field theory, developed over 20 years of research that began at the Air Force Flight Test Center. He explains how properly modulated electromagnetic fields may produce secondary fields capable of affecting the flow of time, and describes his Time Travel Research Association, which networks researchers from over 80 countries.Art weaves the two halves together, balancing the entertaining strangeness of the callers' personal accounts with Anderson's scientific framework for understanding time as something that can potentially be measured, influenced, and controlled.
