234 The Hunt for Zero Point
It was here, they said, beyond the vacuum of absolute space, beyond
what we now know to be a "plenum" (the opposite of a vacuum) flooded
with zero-point energy, that the binding mechanisms of the universe
actually lay.
To date, we know of four of these fundamental forces: gravity,
electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.
If a whirling torsion field with or without an electromagnetic component
was binding with gravity to produce a levitational effect—an
antigravity effect—it wasn't doing so in the four dimensions of this
world, but somewhere else.
It explained why the Germans had attempted to use a torsion field to
act upon the fourth dimension of time. Time, like gravity, the theorists
said, was simply another variable stemming from the hyperspace.
"Say," Marckus had told me, "to use an extreme example, the
Germans had been able to slow time within the area of the Bell's torsion
field, this ceramic-lined chamber, to one thousandth the rate at which it
was progressing outside and you sat inside the chamber for a year. What
you've done is slow time down on the inside, while on the outside it
progresses at its normal rate. Step outside the chamber after a year has
ticked by on your calendar and you find yourself a thousand years into the
future."
The chances were, Marckus said, the Germans had only been able to
generate a tiny time perturbation—perhaps of the order of a hundredth
or a thousandth of one percent. Its area of influence, mercifully, would
also have been very localized. God only knew, Marckus said, what effect
a larger-scale manipulation of the space-time matrix would have had
otherwise. Science itself could offer few clues.
I believed from what I had seen in the Schauberger archive that antigravity
was real and that the Germans had thrown considerable resources
into cracking the problem.
It struck me then that they wouldn't have pursued a single pathway to
antigravity, but several. In the same way that the Americans had pursued
several different theoretical and applied approaches to the creation of an
atomic bomb.
And in the same way that NASA was investigating multiple different
routes to breakthrough propulsion physics for taking us to the stars.
In my mind's eye I imaged the strange henge-like edifice next to the
power station. Maybe, just maybe, Witkowski was right. Maybe it had
been a test rig of some sort. A test rig for a highly unconventional engine
or a large circular aircraft.
If the Germans had been looking for an antigravity effect at the
