A self-proclaimed paranormal researcher claims to have discovered a time warp on the outskirts of Las Vegas, which he says slows time down, Fox 5 Las Vegas reports.
The bizarre claim gives a whole new meaning to the notion of a "Lost weekend in Las Vegas."
The researcher, Joshua Warren, told the outlet that he had tested several areas between Las Vegas and Area 51, but only found a reading in an area north of Sin City, between I-15 and Route 93.
“The weird thing, the real holy grail here, was what we picked up with this brand-new piece of technology,” Warren said.
Warren was referring to a DT Meter (Differential Time Rate Meter), a device that has a 100-foot cable with a sensor on one end. According to MysteriousUniverse.org, the device sends a signal down the length of the cable and measures the time it takes to reach the other end.
“That signal is always supposed to travel at the same rate of time at any particular place. The only way that could change is if a black hole approached Earth or something like that, which is never supposed to happen,” Warren said. “At this spot, on June 18 of 2018, I actually measured for the first and only time, time itself slowing down for 20 microseconds.”
He added that should not happen, at least according to the laws of physics.
“That shouldn’t happen unless there is some kind of unknown technology being tested nearby that would influence the environment, or if there are naturally places around planet Earth that actually sort of flicker once in a while, that warp a little bit,” Warren said.

This one was posted last year but just now showed up.
Always intense, kid.
“It sounds like the DT meter is a TDR...”
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a long snake went to sleep on the cable.
Wibbley wobbedledy timey wimey.
This will be my strategy, going forward.
Being newly retired, and all.
Few realize that we actually experience time travel regularly. Einstein’s theory states that a clock in motion ticks out time at a slower rate than a stationary one at your side. ie, so if one member of a pair of identical twins flies aboard an airplane, lands and joins his twin, he/she will be a minor amount younger than the one who stayed on the ground. This has been confirmed using high accuracy atomic clocks.
“It’s just a jump to the left...”
Always remember to coat the borrow groves with
vaseline first to make them slithy or the whole
thing won’t gyre or gimbal in the wabe.
Then you end up with bupkis.
But that is relativistic time travel. We want time travel in an absolute domain. Dude.
That’s not really time travel, at least not in the sense that we commonly understand it from science fiction.
Different reference frames, accelerated to high velocity relative to each other, will experience time at different rates. But, there doesn’t yet seem to be a theory or way to go back and forth on a particular timeline.
Again?
I have a friend who worked in a movie theater. "Fun" was the 2AM cleanup after all of the Rocky Horror crowd left.
Correct. The phenomenon I described only applies to moving ahead in time. To achieve it requires the addition of a LOT of energy. A high level of energy is required in order to sufficiently change ones state of motion, actually their velocity. Velocity is a two component vector consisting of magnitude and direction. Change one or the other, or both, sufficiently and you will noticeably move ahead in time, as compared to your stationary surroundings. The law of inertia states that objects with mass will continue moving along in a straight line at a constant rate of speed unless acted upon by an outside force. Energy = Force x Distance
And I was just thinking about a plate of shrimp.
....just a jump to the left.
Hunter S. Thompson is probably in there somewhere.
That's true in a flat space-time. In the world of full relativity, inertia means you move along geodesics in spacetime, which is Riemannian geometry for our "straight."
IIRC, of course. It's been a while.
