More!
Sorry to keep posting lol

Ok, along with the content of wired magazine being available online, there's this video: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/17-05/mf_jjessay

Also, on the actual magazine cover there's a symbol, featuring interconnected dots, tri-directional symmetry, and the letters J, J, A. (obviously referring to Abrams)

Oh, and while I realize we've ruled out an Abrams connection, the similarities were too great not to post this. And if you read Abrams' column in the magazine, he almost comes out and says there's an ARG involved.

Well, if we can't work out coding we might be able to at least make some deductions from what we've seen so far.

1) The comment of 'The Box=Hell" spelled out in semi-l33tspeak.

2) Shroedingers cat is referenced as well

3) Babel industries, the tower of babel was an act of great arrogance and conceit on the behalf of man the end result was God scattering man and garbling languages to avoid that level of unity again and such an act of hubris.

4) Multiple references to a military group that were charged with securing the area.

5) There are several images of the equation for the heisenburg uncertainty principle

Possible speculation

1) Some sort of endtimes/doomsday scenario where the actions of scientist essentially open up a hellmouth or something similar.

2) Weird thought, the paradox of Shroedingers cat wasn't to illustrate the idea of a cat being both dead and alive, it was to show the problem with quantum mechanics. What if babel group did something involving such principles and due to bad data or inaccuracy of quantam mechanics caused some sort of major disaster? (Since if you click the cat you hear that apparently there was some failure)

I may be a little behind, but why does the circle look different at www.whatsinthebox.nl than at http://babel-research.eu/witb/ ?

Perhaps i've missed it, but i dont see any mention to the url http://www.thehansofoundation.org/ which can be found by clicking on the icon at the bottom of the babel research page.

It takes you to some kind of "about me" page for alvar hanso, and contains reference to his daughter, rachel blake.

In amongst the page source, there is a link to a (what appears to be) unregistered domain for Rachel Blake, found here:

http://www.rachelblake.com/


Apologies in advance if it's been mentioned before, but i didnt see any mention of it on wikibruce or anywhere else

This ARG is not relate to the latest Wired Magazine.

JJ Abrams uses the 'Whats in the Box' as a question he asks when writing all of his works.

It is used to grab the viewer and ask for there curiosity.

LOST is a great example of this. The show asks "What is the island?", and still we don't know the answer.

Whats in the box has been used by many authors and writes, but more importantly JJ.

So please, this has nothing to do with WITB site and arg.

I should argue about http://www.thehansofoundation.org/. It's definitli releted to http://www.babel-research.eu/.
This site cant by jusy "used to grab the viewer" couse it hasn't anythink what can direct uninitiated viewer to WTIB. So we shouldn't ignore this clue withaut inwastigating it.

We are in dead end and cant found any new clue, so i think that we should interest in http://www.thehansofoundation.org/, aspecialy the string at the bottom of the site whitch can be similar to "+HS PQY-4FLI" string. Intersting is that after right click in moziila and sellect rewind back on this site is played some speech.
Other interesting thing is http://www.thehansofoundation.org/adkahdskja2897429834ahjkncawuye32782374/hanso_shutdown.swf

Sorry, no.

Also, I'm sure everyone will be interested to note that hansofoundation.org is no longer linked in the footer. The logo is there, the link to the site is not.

Then also please recall this disclaimer and let the hanso foundation go.
