May 19, 1999: Time Travel - Dr. Bruce Goldberg

Art Bell welcomes Dr. Bruce Goldberg, a hypnotherapist and author who has regressed over 11,000 patients into past and future lives, to discuss one of Art's favorite subjects: time travel. Dr. Goldberg outlines four methods of traveling through time, from physical time machines based on exotic matter and warp drive theory to teleportation and fifth-dimensional out-of-body techniques that listeners can practice themselves.

The conversation covers mathematical models proposed by physicists like Kip Thorne and Miguel Alcubierre, the grandfather paradox resolved through parallel universes, and Dr. Goldberg's claimed encounters with Traxa, a time traveler from the 36th century whose name spelled backward reads "Ask Art." He also reveals what he describes as Art's past life as an Atlantean quantum physicist named Drako who predicted a catastrophic earthquake 50,000 years ago.

Dr. Goldberg shares predictions for the next thousand years, including anti-gravity cars, telepathic communication, and free energy through cold fusion. He also presents alleged cases of spontaneous teleportation, from a 16th-century Spanish soldier appearing in Mexico City to his own claimed trip to Montego Bay, Jamaica from his Baltimore living room.

Key Moments

  1. Transcript

    Out-of-body preview saves patient from TWA Flight 800: Goldberg recounts a patient who, through an out-of-body experience, foresaw herself dying on a Europe-bound flight, delayed her trip by two weeks, and thereby avoided TWA Flight 800.

  2. Transcript

    Alcubierre warp drive and exotic matter: Goldberg walks through Miguel Alcubierre's warp-drive concept, describing how space-time can contract ahead of a ship and expand behind it, but only if 'exotic matter' with negative energy can be engineered.

  3. Transcript

    Traxa dematerializes in front of a Chicago detective: Goldberg tells the story of Traxa, a 36th-century time traveler attending a Chicago scientific convention in disguise, who is allegedly seen dematerializing by a private detective on lunch break.

  4. Transcript

    Disclosure not until the 25th century, and dark matter as soul: Asked when official extraterrestrial disclosure will happen, Goldberg says not until the 25th century, then pivots to claiming dark matter is the fifth dimension, the substance of the soul, and the mechanism behind reincarnation, NDEs, and angels.
