If I were to build a time
machine, it would have a very straightforward
design. It would have a square base with four
isosceles triangles as its walls. Its interior
would be filled with a dense material of great
mass such as granite or limestone. Despite our
Hollywood inspired conditioned image of a time
machine, my time machine would be void of any
electronic gadgetry. Simply put, my time
machine would resemble the Great Pyramid in
Egypt. If we take an analytical view of my
equation, Rainer's Time Longevity Equation, we
note that Time (T) is a factor of Distance (D),
Mass (M), and the inverse of Energy (E).
Rainer's Time Longevity
Equation
T=√D2x M x
1/E
We can obviously travel
forward in time by traveling on a very fast
space ship (increased D). Our personal clock
would slow to a near standstill while those
residing on earth would continue to tick away.
We could also freeze our bodies to nearly
absolute zero, thus significantly reducing our
basal metabolic rates (a decrease in E).
Obviously, not the most comfortable experience
imaginable. Lastly, we could build an enormous
pyramid like structure with a very high mass
(increase M). The inside chamber could be
equipped with a ventilation chamber system to
allow access to air and food. Sound familiar?
The Great Pyramids of Egypt exactly match this
description.
If we were to test our time
machine by placing a five year old child in its
chamber, an outsider gazing into the pyramid's
inner chamber would note that the child barely
aged even after ten years. However, the child
peering out of the pyramid would note that his
observers on the outside of the pyramid would
grow old quickly before his eyes. In
addition, if the child wore a wrist watch, the
time on his watch would be substantially behind
the time on the outside of the pyramid once he
emerged. The boy would have in fact traveled
into the future. Time is relative and the
pyramid has the capacity to alter time on its
interior relative to its exterior due to its
extremely large Mass (M).
An interesting modern day
experiment would involve the use of extremely
accurate atomic clocks. These clocks have the
capacity to measure time within the thousands of
milliseconds. Let's assume that we synchronize
the time for two atomic clocks on the exterior
of the Great Pyramid. One of the atomic clocks
would be placed in the innermost chamber of the
Great Pyramid while the other atomic clock would
be placed outside the pyramid. After one month
or longer, the recorded time from the atomic
clock retrieved from the interior of the great
pyramid would be notably behind the atomic
clock's time on the exterior of the Great
Pyramid. Hence, the pyramid served as a time
machine, slowing time in its interior relative
to time outside the pyramid.
Additionally, a second
experiment could involve the life span of mice
living in the interior of the Great Pyramid
versus those living outside the pyramid. Mice
living in the interior of the Great Pyramid
would be noted to outlive mice living on the
pyramid's exterior given that water and food
remain readily available.
Although modern physicists
have noted that time slows near large masses,
they have, and I believe incorrectly so, stated
this phenomenon to be due to 'gravitational red
shift.' I assert that large masses distort
space which secondarily increases the Time
variable. Furthermore, rapid forward movement
(D) and energy (E) reduction also have a
magnifying effect on Time (T).
The Great Pyramids are in
fact time machines. Whether the pyramids
possessed the capacity to hurl time travelers
hundreds or thousands of years into the future
remains to be seen. However, Egyptian Pharaohs
may have used the pyramids to extend their life
span i.e. a fountain of youth. Maybe the
pyramids were used to buy time for those
diagnosed with incurable cancers. In any event,
there remains no reason why similar structures
could not be used today for similar purposes.
Naturally, if we erected
pyramids of greater height and significantly
greater mass, the efficacy of our time machine
would substantially improve.
Unfortunately, the price
tag of our pyramid time machine would run into
the trillions. If we elected to build a time
machine on a budget, we could, in fact, try
another approach. By burrowing underground we
can capitalize on the mass of the earth and thus
increase the mass (M) variable. Secondly, if we
burrowed in an arctic region of the globe, we
could also capitalize on the Energy reduction
component (decrease E) of Rainer's time
longevity equation.
Hence, a time machine on a
budget would be a chamber deep into the earth's
interior with the potential to reach sub zero
temperatures.
During World War II, German
Nazis transported over 250,000 scientist and
military staff and personnel to a region between
20 degrees East and 10 degrees West in Queen
Maud land in Antarctica. The nazis named this
Antarctic region Neuschwabenland.
Was Neuschwabenland modern
man's first attempt at building a time machine?
Perhaps on second thought, does an Antarctica
time machine already exist?
Robert E. Rainer, MD, is a graduate of the
University of Maryland School of Medicine. He
completed his residency training in obstetrics
and gynecology in 1995 and shortly afterward
established his medical practice (see:

practice flourished and is now a leading OB/GYN
practice in New York City. Get his book:
