 		I got to doing a little more research on the Englert-Higgs-Brout mechanism, and apparently it has to do with randomly particles emerging from a symmetrical Higgs field. Symmetry is echoed all throughout the sites we've been following... cubes, spheres, all of them are symmetrical... but you get to looking at a lot of the images, anti.jpg, army_evac, etc... and none of these images reflect any sort of symmetry... I took the anti.jpg and mirrored it (remember, use light and dark and mirrors, like the hint says) and this is what I came up... is that a wavelength of some sort in the middle? very weird. I'll do this from the other side as well and see how it comes out.

Edit: added enhanced versions

that's interesting it does look like a wavelength and the arrows seem to point at them also has anyone noticed that the the arrow at the bottom is the symbol for above the influence

A scanning tunneling microscope uses electrons and funky quantum physics to do its work; an atomic force microscope uses a tiny probe that's repelled by individual atoms. Both use little probes.

 		I tried texting the 59462 number. No dice. Not a valid number.

Thanks, very interesting. I went back this evening/morning and watched the high res video frame by frame... there is a LOT of signage in the lab tagged "Nano Med," including a lot of stuff about Dry Self-Assembled Monolayers... I found a bunch of weird stuff... including a sign on the door that seems to say something, but for sure ends in "SCAM!" There is also crew visible at 00:00:36, which is cool. The video calls each tower an "Inception Point," not sure what that means...

Anyway, I've attached a few things... including the VERY odd sign randomly on a door in the lab before he leaves the lab... I've done some pretty heavy modification to try and figure out what it says, but still I can only 100% make out "SCAM!" Only that word caused me to spend some extra time on it... anybody else have any ideas?

It's bedtime for me, not staying until about 3 am with this again Smile

 		The sign on the door just looks like:

DONT LET
THE DOOR
SLAM!

Nice spotting, though Smile

 		what is it with those letters?



also i tried aligning the 3dots of the UEC logo with the three dots on the babel logo - well nothing happened there for my eyes

i find it quite suspicious why the UE_join.jpg is 1.291 x 962 Pixels while the "flyer" itself is much smaller??

 		www.babel-research.com
Does anybody know what http://www.babel-research.com is? and if they aren't connected with WITB why they link to the original anti.gif image? or even better why they use horrible grammar, or why there is nothing but a webmail on there?

Seems kind of redundant if it is a company, doesnt it?

 		@jochen2k :
I think those letter are part of "RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY" page.

Are you serious?


Anyways, I'm diving deeper on the paper on the door image.

I'm using a subconscious technique to figure out what it says.
Here is the animation (If you are on google chrome, the animation will not play fast enough to get the desired effect. Please use a different browser).



The second sentence looks like it says 'the box'

You're right I waas convinced they were not part of the ARG.
However.. not only do they LINK to the anti.gif...
They have it on their server aswell... http://www.babel-research.com/anti.gif
So now I'm a bit uncertain...

 		Just a possible thought about SAGA...

If you look in the original credits on the '2007' witb flash page (the original anti.gif shows the same credits), it says 2007 A PRODUCTIONS official series.

Perhaps the repetition of SAGA is suggesting that this ARG could be intertwined with a potential series of videos, and not just the original one video that we have seen?
