Philadelphia experiment

A supposed military operation that occurred October of 1943 in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. A highly classified experiment to cloak the U.S destroyer escort the USS Eldridge in an electromagnetic force-field. According to unconfirmed speculation, such as has surrounded the Roswell incident, reports emerged that the ship disappeared into a time-space anomaly and that those on board never could adjust psychologically afterward. The television show LOST has capitalized on the Philadelphia experiment, and incorporated the time-space anomaly concept with the mind's inability to deal with the fourth dimension.

LOST is based on the Philadelphia experiment.

big-bang

Commonly accepted theory of the beginning of what we know as the universe. Mostly hypothetical in the past, but now has confirmed measurements by a NASA satelite WMAP. Event horizon indicators place a space-time beginning focal point at 13.7 billion years reverse time. It is not understood what the state of pre-energy/matter was or the catalyst to the event, as the pre-state had no observable horizon.

The big-bang was either an anomaly or it was not.
