From: The Ghost Ship of Philadelphia: Myth, Magnetism, and the Montauk Connection
perspectivescientific

From a physics perspective, the claims of the Philadelphia Experiment are completely impossible. The Office of Naval Research has stated that using force fields to bend light and teleport a massive warship violates known physical laws. Einstein's Unified Field Theory, often cited by conspiracy theorists as the mathematical basis for the event, was never finished. Science views the legend as a complete misunderstanding of electromagnetic degaussing.

Supporting arguments

  • Teleportation violates fundamental laws of physics
  • Einstein's Unified Field Theory was never completed
  • Degaussing only alters magnetic signatures, not light
