Scientists have confirmed that anyone can talk on the phone with deceased relatives!
Thomas Alva Edison for 84 years of his life has made more than 4 thousand discoveries and inventions, most of which mankind has been actively using so far. At the age of 22 he promised to create one small invention every 10 days, and every 6 months an important scientific discovery. Thomas never gave up on what was planned. He came up with an electric counter for elections, an automatic telegraph, a phonograph, an incandescent lamp, an electricity generator. But the most mysterious and strange discovery, perhaps, can be called a duffer of Edison, which today they try not to remember ...
How did they communicate with spirits before Edison?
Since the end of the 18th century, spiritistic sessions have become fashionable in Europe and Russia. They were fond of both rich people and middle-class landlords, who invited mediums to entertain guests at social gatherings. Realizing how easy it is to earn money, charlatans advertised their services, offering to become intermediaries in communicating with the afterlife. Only a small part of the mediums could really come into contact with the deceased and report the smallest details of their lives, astonishing relatives and friends. Spiritual sessions did not always go smoothly: it happened that their participants died from a sudden fit of epilepsy or a heart attack.
Why did Edison believe that the dukhofon would work?
All his life, Thomas built around the work on communication devices. All kinds of modernization of the telegraph and telephone became the meaning of his existence. They so enthralled him that Edison believed that it was possible to create a line through which the spirits of deceased people would be able to reach live relatives. Paradox, but he did not believe in hell and heaven, nor did he believe in the transmigration of souls. At the same time, Edison openly said that he was confident in the distribution of souls in the universe after the end of earthly life. How did he manage to combine scientific skepticism and insane theories about the afterlife?
In October 1920, he publicly stated that work on the Dukhobon was begun. Preparing for the invention, he began with correspondence with the British inventor William Cook, who has a unique experience of taking a shower on a photographic film. William did not show anyone a photograph except Thomas. Apparently, they impressed the scientist so much that he did believe in life after death.
Being confident in the principle of the work of a conventional telegraph, Edison came to the conclusion that in nature all the exchange of information takes place at an electromagnetic level. Thomas realized that all that is needed for a miracle is a hypersensitive phone that can catch subtle signals from those whose spirit has long since left the flesh. A regular phone is too clumsy for invisible souls.
What was the dukhofon?
When the work on the apparatus for communicating with the spirits was over, Thomas arranged a real press conference. He showed the journalists the dukhofon and told them about him. It took 8 kg of gold, 20 kg of silver and 200 g of platinum to make it. Another 300 kg of copper was used for wire lines. The patent office somehow checked the efficiency of the dukhofon and issued a patent for its use. After that, the phone trace for perfume was lost in history ...
Why did the dukhofon ring in 2009?
Shortly before his death, Edison agreed with engineer William Walter Dinuiddi that the first deceased would call the other on the "other side" and tell in detail about the afterlife. Nobody knows if the call was realized and what its results were. In 2004, the Federal Patent Office digitized archival documents of the past centuries and its employees came across a patent under the number WW 345-S 444 stating that the dukhofon was working.
Canadian scientist Shemon Kagan, who participated in the digitization, found mysterious sponsors, ready to give $ 2 million to search for the device, provided they remain anonymous. Who could be interested in these developments so much that they had to hide their identity? It is rumored that among the sponsors there could be special services or higher clergy.
Money can solve many problems, so the sponsors quickly delivered both dukhofon, one of which was kept by relatives of Edison in Delhi, and the second - from the relatives of Dinuiddi, who lives in New York. Dukhofons were no longer subject to connection to the telephone line, because its former format was hopelessly outdated.
By 2009, modern scientists were able to create a device-adapter to connect the Doukhofon to a digital phone. In the summer evening, scientists set up one of the dukhofons, equipped it with devices for recording calls and sensors to monitor electromagnetic radiation. But they did not manage to fall asleep that night. A real flurry of calls started: they counted at least 120 pieces! To be sure of their authenticity, witnesses of what happened were picking up the phone one at a time.
"Stay by the phone this night. I'm worried. You're engaged in a dangerous business. "
It was the clear voice of grandmother Shemon Kagan in the tube.
Of course, mostly recently called relatives of laboratory staff called. Maria Penrose, for example, was able to establish regular communication with the late mother. The woman was interested in the life of her daughter, shared with her culinary recipes and gave advice relating to work and personal life. I wonder if soon there will be people who want to repeat the experience of scientists on their relatives?
