[QUOTE="Nick Charles, post: 101486, member: 6666"] I want to preface this by saying that I am NOT a believer in time travel, nor am I a conspiracy theorist. However, I experienced a strange occurrence recently and I wanted to run it by some people who might have some explanations. I am a tinkerer. During the event I am referencing, I had several devices operating at once so I don't know for sure what was affecting what, but here's what happened: I was playing with a Wimshurst machine. It's nothing out of the ordinary, other than I modified it with larger Leyden jars so I get some pretty big sparks. I also had a pretty strong electromagnet. I had no idea what I was doing other than I wanted to see if a magnetic field had an effect on the spark. I should also mention that I had a Tesla coil and some other gadgets in the area, but they were a distance away so I doubt they were affecting anything (I don't think the magnet did squat, for that matter). Anyway, the sparks were arcing across the discharge electrodes of the Wimshurst machine and a housefly flew right into their path. It vanished. I remember thinking, "Wow, that fly was just fried!" I figured it was acting like a bug zapper. That is when the strange thing happened. A few sparks later the fly flew out of the arc, as if it were simply continuing its path. My explanation is I experienced an optical illusion, and the fly actually landed on one of the electrodes, stayed there for a few seconds, and them flew off at the same time as another spark. But it really REALLY looked like it vanished and reappeared, so much so that I actually looked for the dead fly on the table before I saw it reappear. Any guesses? I mean, it couldn't have been a momentary time travel ... [/QUOTE]
