Gibbs reveals he has sold over 100 machines since 1985, and estimates that 36 or more buyers have simply vanished, presumably traveling to other time periods. He recounts stories of customers journeying to the 1500s, the 1960s, and even the future. He describes his own trip to September 1997, where he claims to have witnessed aerial warfare and an intercontinental ballistic missile launch. He also discusses a mysterious barrier at the year 2012 that time travelers and remote viewers alike cannot penetrate.
Art presses Gibbs on the practical dangers and paradoxes of time travel, from encountering your past self to arriving in an era without electrical outlets. Gibbs addresses each with surprising specificity, describing time laws that prevent disruption of the space-time continuum and a built-in return mechanism that brings travelers back within six to nine hours.
Key Moments
Souls oscillate at 7.8 Hz: Gibbs explains the Hyper Dimensional Resonator picks up the soul's 7.8 Hz oscillation, steps it up through a diode circuit, and divides it into an AC-DC field producing two points of resonance - a time warp.
Two minutes 45 seconds and you're gone: Gibbs describes the jump itself, citing a Great Falls, Montana buyer: first an earthquake, then a blinding white light, drift through a void, and reform at the programmed time - exactly two minutes and forty-five seconds.
Sliced unit and dangling wires: Gibbs recounts a buyer who failed to program the machine to travel with him - the jump sliced the connections between electromagnet and unit, leaving him in another time with one half of the device and dangling wires.
Make enough jumps and become physically perfect: Gibbs claims time travel rejuvenates the body - one woman pops back to the 1960s whenever wrinkles appear, returns seconds later with her face restored. Enough jumps, he says, and you become physically perfect.
Ruby, overload, and a woman bursts into flames: Asked about safety, Gibbs says a New York buyer overloaded her unit by inserting a ruby - there was 'some indication that she bursted into flames.' He keeps the energy 'safe for human use.'
