Meet Preston B. Nichols of Project Phoenix

Preston B. Nichols, an electrical engineer who has studied metaphysics believes in a multiverse or multiple parallel universes that coexist alongside with the one we have come to know. Also, he thinks that each of us may be existing in every one of those timelines.

Mr.Nichols says he was actually involved in the so-called Project Phoenix, which followed Project Rainbow, otherwise known as The Philadelphia Experiment, after it was disbanded. In Project Phoenix, scientists succeeded in opening a whole in the space-time continuum and this allowed them to send time travelers both ways, into the past as well as to the future.

Steven Gibbs's idea of time travel is to bend time with the hyper dimensional resonator that allows the traveler's astral self to mesh with the timeloop he wants to explore. On the other hand, Preston B. Nichols says that in their experiments, time explorations involved physical movement in a tunnel that scientists had rigged to make it look and feel solid. It was a tunnel that connected past with future, and was actually outside the space-time continuum.

Both Gibbs and Nichols, however, seem to agree that the existence of multiple universes is a clear possibility. This means that going to the past to change it may be accomplished without risk of experiencing the Grandfather Paradox because the timeline so changed in the past may not be the same timeline whence the traveler took off.

Steven Gibbs says that there is a possibility of going to the past and causing changes within the same timeline and thus experience the paradox but this is a slim chance in thousands or millions of other timelines. On the other hand, Mr.Nichols narrates how two crewmembers of the USS Eldridge, traveling from the year 1943, arrived at Montauk Air Base in the year 1983. These two sailors were then ordered by the scientists to go back via the time tunnel to 1943 to turn off the generators that were causing high frequency disturbances in the experiments being conducted in 1983. This incident could mean they were dealing with the same timeline as events in the past were clearly influencing the activities of the scientists in 1983.
