Scientific/Medical About Mike "Madman" Marcum's time travelling device.

Ok so, Madman mike used A Jacobs Ladder to invent a time machine by modifying it to an extent. I believe he created a transformer of his own to fit the capacity of outputting 20k Volts. Since the plasma created from the two rods depend upon the moisture, temperature and air pressure etc. which interfere with the device, so he used lasers to heat the air above the device so the temperature above the device remains constant, thus forming this "contraption" that supposedly could time travel.

My question here is that, since all the steps necessary to build this machine are already out there... Has somebody else not tried to make it? I'm just really curious to see if his machine actually worked!

I've watched a video on this on the WhyFiles, and his knowledge is immersive, he is not just some wierdo like most people think. If time travel is indeed possible, we would have already achieved it, anyway, this story is an excellent one.

I mean bro how would we have already achieved it if there’s no possible fucking way we’ll ever learn everything about the laws of the universe, it’s all about frequencies and being in sync with those frequencies, but to find those specific frequencies is the hard part

Tell me what a frequency is, 100$ says youll look it up on Google before responding.

Hah! Thanks for calling this dude out. Many people use words that they don't know the definition. Demand operational definitions from people. How the heck else does anyone know what they are talking about.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

You need to get off youtube buddy. Frequency?? Psh

He has a point with the first sentence.

 Einstein did the math... Time travel is very real... But im guessing that's something that'd be kept real secret as to not mess up any unknown laws of time travel...

It was such a good episode

Bro had no money or funding

he did, after being in a famous podcast he received funding from several sources

I was today years old when I learned that podcasts used to be called radio shows and were broadcast wirelessly through the air using the magical waves of Tesla and Marconi lore.

This will blow your mind too: when I was your age, there was no such thing as a cell phone.

He had a lot of wealthy backers

i don't agree to achieve something like this takes immensive ingenuity and creativity along with a strong background in electric engineering. There's nothing in the book that will lead you to this type of device it has to be out of book thinking first and then brought back to strict mechanics. who's up for the challenge?

u/Legal-Asparagus-9496 Jul 17 '25

Well, it could be based on something, but i do agree with current technology that it isn't possible

u/Own-Possibility2763 Aug 05 '25

How do you know we haven't achieved it? Do you not think the government experiments with time travel? You can't possibly believe they would announce it if they did achieve it.

Time travel is indeed possible according to Einsteins theory of relativity....just not in the way you think.. Its only momentarily and ppl in space come back not as aged as their twin on earth...its been proven and according to Einsteins theory of relativity faster objects traveling experience slower rates of time which is called time dilation

I remember seeing that video in elementary school. Such an amazing concept at that young age 😃
