Sorry to double post but we've already talked about Livermore Labs and Christifilos previously in this thread.

Hmmm.. page 17 of the doco..

Quote:
"layer of rotating relativistic electron, hereafter called the E-layer, is the key feature of the Astron concept."


I know it's been mentioned before... just sayin'

UGh...

More words, where is the game... I thought I had something. Now it seems it may have been nothing and we are being handed more words that again seem to go nowhere...

Long day, Good luck Rocket Mountaineer, I am taking my Foil and siting this out for now.

Looking at the Doc Seesaw is there also. This is most likely the correct Astron and it needed to be given to us since NONE of us was able to see this reference in all of our searches.

Dear Puppet masters.... WHERE ARE we going with all this. A Year - really and we are still in the dark. Bang Head Bang Head ARG

Sorry I digress... Embarassed Please let this lead to something. The Doc is real and older than the game ....

Check out page 54, Figure 10
Looks like Christofilos' face was poorly Photoshop'd on existing photo.
(pale face smokem peace pipe)

May be nothing, may be information/identity cover up?

Can someone check the authenticity of the website (w3.pppl.gov)?
I will try to authenticate the paper (coleman.pdf)

[EDIT] Seems the names are reversed, Schlesinger (right), Christofilos (left).

Even though this part of the ARG is boring, the actual work this Greek did is pretty interesting!

Well, the paper seems plausible. It's an undergraduate paper for Princeton's Program in Plasma Science and Technology from 2004. (like we're supposed to find that ourselves Rolling Eyes )

I was assuming the black and white film footage is from Area 51 lab experimentation, but I'm thinking now that it could be from this lab.

[EDIT] strike that idea

I really have to agree. Looking at pictures from google and back at page 54 this picture seems in no way like the same person and it is bothering me like no other. I just can't figure out if it's just a bad picture or edited. Ugh...Imma go find me some tin foil for the first time this game. Anyone have any to spare?

Page 42: 'specter' is highlighted yellow. Why?

Noticed both the above when I read it... which I did from beginning to end... interesting in it's own right...

But unless we're trying to find a link to the relativity theory and particle acceleration and alternate power sources, I still can't see where this is going.

You can shorten the URL to look at the parent directory.

In there are lots of PDF documents with general physics type reports, mostly on plasma research.

I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary about any of them.

The Coleman PDF was last edited on 28-Mar-2007 08:56 so if it was changed it wasn't changed recently

Well, I was playing around with the idea that the cubes become highly magnetic, perhaps solving the issues with having to have huge, expensive magnets for the accelerator. The cube's movement seems 'magneticy' and the cars and such seems to be affected in a magnetic sort of way.

Probably really reaching here, but with all these very scientific references, who knows?

Well, besides building a backstory, I wonder why Sarah keeps pushing the Van Allen Radiation Belts in every post?
Also, is anyone checking the PDP11 files for availability daily ?

Its hard to figure why they have had this console up for almost a year but have hardly used it.. and if M does indeed send Josh the package and then goes away, who will run the PDP11 then?
This is a strange hodgepodge of an ARG..

also note.. The reference to the posts by Myself and MM have been removed altho they are still there under RSS comments..

Here's my theory and I'm just putting it out there to frame it and spark some additional convo or evolution of it.

Operation Argus or Operation Fishbowl (both related to Van Allen Belts and Christofilos' theory) either knocked some type of UFO or alien spacecraft out of the air (by accident, of course) or created some new type of "thing" with its extremely high levels of radiation.

The government discovers the alien(s) that fell out of the sky or new "thing" and begins experimenting on it.

Experimentation discovers that IT is highly volatile and not easily contained. Hence, why Minker Sr. and others are looking to eliminate it.

The government shuts down the project and has it moved for indefinite containment.

Minker fears for humanity and makes a last ditch effort to destroy IT. Bam! Roll Super 8 movie.

Please feel free to add, delete or shoot down my theory. Just wanted to get it out there since it's going so slow right now.

Well I posted a nice negitive comment on Sarah's website.

I figure everything they allowed through was all bubblegum and fairy farts.

If they post it maybe it will show they "THEM" want us to interact in some way with the chars.. Anyone email her and talk about fusion? Maybe we can get a code to unlock some new clips by interacting with her open questions on every post.

Then again if they don't do anything or respond to a simple question email .. "THEY" will prove to me its just for show.. and they don't intend on interaction.

So now what to ask Sarah in the email??
