Q: What is Enitech Research?
A: EniTech Research Labs is a research-oriented company focusing on
particle physics. Our current projects study theoretical faster-than-light
(FTL) particles and methods to measure or recognize their interaction with
other sub-atomic particles. Our laboratory is located in the Bay Area in San
Francisco, California. Our company goal is to use a process we call
"Open Source Research." By sharing information and involving the public in
our ongoing projects, together we can reach new levels of discovery. We
invite anyone interested in our research or collaboration to review the blog
section of our website.
Q: What is "Open Source Research"?
A: Open Source Research is a method we are pioneering at our
company. Unlike most research which is done in private, with results
kept secret till the conclusion, this process seeks to engage and involve
the public during the process by reporting results and soliciting feedback.
Though we are all fairly intelligent people, we know the best minds in our
company can't always compete with the keen insights outsiders with distance
and perspective can provide on empirical data. We feel it is an
innovative new way to change how we think about discovery. By reaching
out to the public directly we hope to pioneer scientific openess and
information sharing. Together we can work to achieve new breakthroughs
that can change the world.
Q: What is the Gardner Project?
A: The Gardner Project is an effort to develop a device that processes
imagery based on faster-than-light particles (tachyon particles).
Unlike a camera which processes light, thus depicting the present, this
device should theoretically detect the particles originating from a point in
time farther ahead than the present. Since faster than light particles move
backward in time the particle imagery that is developed should theoretically
depict what we would call "future" time.
Q: So did your team really completely invent the
technology for the Gardner Project device?
A: No. To be perfectly clear: this technology is largely based on
another device that we did not originally build or create, but is currently
on loan to us. For legal reasons we cannot show the original object,
but we can show what we've created and discovered based on our studies of
that original device. We hope to hear from others out there about
their ideas for taking this innovation to the next steps of gathering
empirical data.
Q: But how can you see into time that different than the one we exist in? Isn't that impossible?
A: Well actually no. In fact you probably already own a camera that can photograph the past. It's so trivial we take it for granted. Simply walk outside and take a picture of the night sky. The stars you're seeing are thousands of years in the past. In fact some of the stars you're watching don't even exist anymore and have long since died yet the light continues to take its long journey across the universe on toward our world. If someone on a distant planet (but still in the same galaxy) were watching Earth through a telescope right now, they would see perhaps the early Mesopotamians struggling to rise into civilization or the collapse of the Roman empire but not our current time.
Our device is based on a series
of carefully callibrated predictions that the particles we detect should be
exactly 1,191 days ahead of the time that the image is processed. We
have been unable to date to adjust that amount or look farther ahead than
that. And the device cannot look into the past since tachyon particles
only move backwards, never forward. A good simple example is like
this: [Us] <---[tachyon particles]------ [future time]
Q: Hey, does your company name sound a bit familiar?
A: Let's just say it's our homage. And it's a helpful reminder of what
we want to avoid in our work environment.
