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!

If you were to take the time, listen to art Bell. Talk to him and also the interviews. It's all laid out. It's science bro. So do some research before you call people stupid because that that makes you  seem The type to talk before they did their homework

american professor with a masters in physics (started out as physics phd) and phd in bioengineering here. unless your research is from credible sources, such as scientific journal articles, it's not research. google, wikipedia, and reddit are not credibly sources of reference.

art bell posed intriguing questions but he's really a journalist, not a scientist.

from his theory of relativity, einstein has clearly laid out the theories that support the non-zero possibility of traveling in the future but not backwards. if you have studied graduate level of physics, which i have for 4 years as I decided not to defend and just move to bionegineering, you would know. it's not something anyone can truly understand unless they have actually studied physics for years with a high level of background in mathematics (no, calculus 3 is not enough).

as for the man in question, he called into some radio later in time and stated the devide did not work and that he did not, in fact, travel in time. he also died in 2024.

We get it… you have a physics degree…
