NBC Promotes Time Travel Show "Timeless", Marshall Barnes Launches World's First Time Travel Project

YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio - Aug. 12, 2016 - PRLog -- NBC Television has a new TV series, bowing October 3rd, featuring one of the most popular topics in science fiction - time travel. Timeless concerns a man engineering a plot to successfully steal a time machine to change history. An unlikely trio are sent after him in the clunky prototype to the machine that was stolen. This all slightly amuses internationally noted, R&D engineer, Marshall Barnes, who is arguably the world's expert on time travel science and invented the first time machine, which currently opens micro wormholes large enough to beam radio waves into.  Marshall, who's lectured all over the United States and Canada, recently announced at the WizardWorld conference in Columbus, OH he is launching a program to develop time travel for humans. This will be the first such credible effort ever attempted, by-passing that of University of Connecticut physics professor, Ronald Mallett, who has so far been nothing but baseless media hype, and could change the future of the world.

"Defend the Past, Save Our Future", is one of the slogans of Timeless, which stars, Goran Visnjic, Malcolm Barrett, and Matt Lanter, however, like most time travel stories, there is no scientific basis for the plot, according to Marshall, whose book, Paradox Lost: The True Geometries of Time Travel, is the authoritative work on time travel physics and true theory.

"I'm glad there is another time travel show on TV, because I like the theme and was a fan of Lost once it went to time travel, as well as Journeyman, and Life On Mars and of course the original time travel TV series, The Time Tunnel. Usually, however, there's a plot device of time travel used to change the past so something is then changed in the future, and that just isn't the way it would happen. Anyone, and I mean anyone who says that would be possible is simply proving their knowledge of the subject - from a scientific point of view, is simply at the most basic, shallow and pedestrian level. There's absolutely no scientific basis for time travel paradoxes. The focus on what someone does once they get there - that might change the past, completely ignores the very obvious and clear fact, to anyone with the grey matter to actually know what they're doing in this field, that a time traveler arriving in the past is, in and of itself, a paradox that has changed it. Time doesn't care what you do once you arrive, the issue is you arrived in the first place and the solution is found in the work of John Archibald Wheeler".

Marshall cites Wheeler, a brilliant Princeton physicist who worked on both black holes and the theory of wormholes, believed in what he called the "participatory universe". In that theory, the universe can respond to or "participate" with things we do, something that Marshall says would be a major factor in time travel physics.

"Most physicists stop at the idea that the solution to the paradox problem is parallel universes, but that doesn't resolve the problem viewed by the founders of the I Am Time Loop project, that in parallel universes, the time traveler wasn't originally there either. The solution is the act of time travel causes the universe to split as in the normal parallel universe model, but that this new universe is identical to the past that the time travel act would result in, thus solving all the issues raised by the time travel act".

"I wrote a special report for select members of Congress on this, which is now a book, Paradox Lost:The True Geometries of Time Travel (see http://www.blurb.com/b/5622324-paradox-lost-the-public-ed... ) so they wouldn't freak out over time travel research due to all the paradox nonsense  everyone thinks of. I didn't want them to worry about someone going back in time to change their election".

That would take the McGuffin out of the plot of Timeless, but Marshall sees opportunites for more imaginative plots.

"I mean, the basic plot of Timeless is that of Time Cop as well as the TV show, Time Trax - stop the bad guy from changing the past. YAWN. There are far more interesting plots and things a bad guy could do if he had a time machine, besides trying to change the past".

Marshall's own time travel program is based on scaling up the technology behind his Verdrehung Fan device, which is already opening micro wormholes. The basis for it is his own STDTS™ technology which generates an electromagnetic field with a gravitic effect on space as it moves through space. It exhibits Einstein's theory of electromagnetism and gravity.

"I've solved most of the problems alleged to be involved with traversable wormholes," Marshall surmises, "and I'm on to solving the last and key issue - determining where a wormhole opens up to. The solution is derived in part from Wheeler's work, again, but the rest, which is proprietary, is taken from the work of H. David Froning in application but different in terms of approach. However, initial tests suggest it will work, so if all of this is correct, reliable human time travel should be possible inside of two years at a R&D cost of around $100,000 or less".

Marshall also has a feature length documentary coming out about his work in time travel - The Dawning of the Age of Time Machines.
