The Philadelphia Chromosome: A Genetic Mystery, a Lethal Cancer, and the Improbable Invention of a Lifesaving Treatment
Author: Jessica Wapner
Publisher: The Experiment, LLC
ISBN: 1615191658
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
One of The Wall Street Journal’s 10 Best Nonfiction Books of the Year Philadelphia, 1959: A scientist scrutinizing a single human cell under a microscope detects a missing piece of DNA. That scientist, David Hungerford, had no way of knowing that he had stumbled upon the starting point of modern cancer research— the Philadelphia chromosome. It would take doctors and researchers around the world more than three decades to unravel the implications of this landmark discovery. In 1990, the Philadelphia chromosome was recognized as the sole cause of a deadly blood cancer, chronic myeloid leukemia, or CML. Cancer research would never be the same. Science journalist Jessica Wapner reconstructs more than forty years of crucial breakthroughs, clearly explains the science behind them, and pays tribute—with extensive original reporting, including more than thirty-five interviews—to the dozens of researchers, doctors, and patients with a direct role in this inspirational story. Their curiosity and determination would ultimately lead to a lifesaving treatment unlike anything before it. The Philadelphia Chromosome chronicles the remarkable change of fortune for the more than 70,000 people worldwide who are diagnosed with CML each year. It is a celebration of a rare triumph in the battle against cancer and a blueprint for future research, as doctors and scientists race to uncover and treat the genetic roots of a wide range of cancers.

Book Description
The Experiment at Philadelphia Did Einstein discover God? If God created all things, then who Created God? What Was and Happened Before the Big-Bang. The Philadelphia Experiment was Einsteins experiment in which he had not only discovered, in 1943, the way to make things invisible and transport them at great speeds but also positively proven scientifically, physically, and spiritually that the Almighty God exists! He had literally discovered God! That question, is there a god? Thats been going through peoples minds for so long, was discussed on the street corner, talked about on the porch on a hot summers night, and is now a proven fact. Yes, there is a god! Did Einstein in the Philadelphia Experiment make contact with UFO beings, who gave him advance knowledge of all things, which Einstein later destroyed, fearing what the world would do with that knowledge? Are the first fourteen chapters of this book about the advance knowledge Einstein received? Does it reveal the deepest, darkest secrets of God and Satan and how the universe works? Does it answer these questions? Many have asked since the beginning of the world: Which is known as the mystery of God? Why am I here? Whats the true meaning of life? How was everything created? Who are God and the devil? If God created all, who created God? If he is the first in creation, where and how did he come into existence? Why does God allow evil in the world? Why do good things happen to bad people and bad things to good people? Whyif we all came from Adam and Eve, who were Jewishare there Gentiles? Are Gentiles children of devils? Is that why the Jews are Gods chosen race? Why in the Garden of Eden was the knowledge of good on the tree forbidden? How old is the earth? Why is God known as the Trinity? Why have religions, down through the ages, done such evil? What, when, and how did the big bang start? What happened to Satan? Who is he really, and what did he do in the past? What are his beliefs and ways? What is he and God literally made of? What is the meaning of the great pyramids and the sphinx? Is there scientific proof that God exists? Read this whole book for the answers to all these tough questions, and be sure to read the introduction first before reading the rest of this book. It will help you better understand this whole book.

The Case for the UFO: Unidentified Flying Objects
Author: M. Jessup
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781499105513
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This is the first ever reprint of the book that brought the entire legend of the Philadelphia Experiment into the public sphere, and created controversy for decades: "The Case For the UFO!" Why has this book been suppressed for so many years? It is a well-reasoned review of the UFO record by an eminent astromomer, mathematician, and archaeologist: Dr. M.K. Jessup. His conclusions are breathtaking and incredible, but inescapable. Description from the original dust jacket:Flying saucers are not new! For thousands of years, men have seen mysterious objects in the skies. Now, a prominent scientists proves that unidentified flying objects originate here, on Earth.If you have ever wondered about the things today's scientists do not, will not, or cannot explain, this book is for you. Such questions might be:What is the hidden meaning of the comet's tail?What caused the "Devil's Footprints" of Devonshire?Why are we wrong to think of space flight only in terms of rocket power?How was a soldier "teleported" from the Phillippine Islands to Mexico City within one hour?What force lifted 1200-ton stones in ancient Peru?How is acceleration achieved by UFOs?What caused the disappearance of the crews of the SS Sea Bird and the Marie Celeste?Was the "secret" of space flight known 50,000 years ago?What is the strange truth hidden in the ancient ruins of Baalbek?And finally, and most importantly: Are the UFOs friend, or foe?This is the original edition of "The Case For the UFO," which does NOT include the scrawled "annotations" of the infamous Carlos Allende (who may or may not have tormented Jessup into committing suicide). You will find this version much easier to read than the Varo Edition, and probably much more meaningful.

Book Description
IN 1942, AN EXPERIMENT TO MAKE A NAVY SHIP MAGNETICALLY INVISIBLE, TURNED INTO A SOUL-SHATTERING NIGHTMARE THAT BREACHED THE VERY WALLS OF TIME AND SPACE! In This New, Updated Edition, Based on The Philadelphia Experiment Chronicles, The Story of a Highly Classified - ABOVE TOP SECRET - Project Conducted By The U.S. Navy, Can Now Be Told! According to survivor accounts, the Philadelphia Experiment involved the teleportation of the U.S.S. Eldridge a mega-ton Destroyer Escort from its dry dock in the Philadelphia Naval Yard to Norfolk, Virginia - a distance of around 400 miles. During at least part of the time, the Eldridge was "missing" from the City of Brotherly Love, the destroyer was said to have been transported into another dimension. Upon its return, most of the vessel's hand-picked test crew - all of whom had been left totally unprepared and unprotected - either "caught on fire," became literally frozen into the hull of the ship, went stark, raving mad, or vanished, never to be seen again. Much has been written on the subject, but this is the only account as told by the retired intelligence operative Commander X who reveals the story of Dr. M.K. Jessup who discovered the incredible truth about the Philadelphia Experiment. Commander X also reveals the story of Alfred Bielek, who claimed to be one of only two survivors of the unholy experiments that breached the very fabric of time and space. The late Alfred Bielek revealed the further destruction of innocent lives with the Phoenix Project that developed methods of teleportation, as well as mind manipulation and altering the very flow of time itself!

Nikola Tesla and the Philadelphia Experiment
Author: Alun J. Blackwell
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781482357325
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Dr Bradley Lewton, an happy-go-lucky academic chancer who has an unfortunate way with women, knows a lot about the theory of physics and weapons systems but very little about how to make a living. Meet him in Nikola Tesla and the Philadelphia Experiment, an action packed, science based, thriller that will tell you all you ever wanted to know about Tesla's more out-outrageous ideas, some of which Dr Lewton discovers to be true and dangerous. The drowsy life of this unworldly academic researcher is shaken up when he is hired by top-notch lawyer Liz O'Hare, as an expert witness in a Gulf War Syndrome investigation. What seems a simple way to earn some extra cash soon becomes a matter of life and death. The combination of bizarre science, a pushy woman and a secret spy agency results in a fast moving plot which will suck you into its strange world. Facts In 1899 the scientist Nikola Tesla set up an experimental station to broadcast wireless electrical power in Colarado and succeeding in transmitting power over 200 miles, created artificial ball lightning and measured the resonant frequency of the Earth's atmosphere. He also claimed to have created a device which could split the Earth in two using mechanical resonance. On 24 February, 1901 Tesla announced he had discovered a way to communicate with other worlds On 23 July 1901 Tesla started work on his 'World System' which was to be based on a transmitting station at Wardencliff, New York. In February 1905, banker J. P. Morgan, who held a controlling interest in Tesla's patents, closed down Tesla's World System, the Wardencliff site was sold to settle Tesla's hotel bill. During the Second World War Tesla was evicted from a number of New York Hotels for keeping pigeons in his room. The exact date of Nikola Tesla's death is unknown. He died alone between 5 Jan and 8 Jan, 1943, immediately after offering to construct a Secret Weapon for the US Navy. After his death all Tesla's surviving work was declared TOP SECRET by the FBI. J. Edgar Hoover issued a memo saying. 'All matters connected with the late Nikola Tesla are to be handled in a most secret fashion to avoid publicity in respect of Tesla's inventions', and 'that every precaution be taken to preserve the secrecy of those inventions.' In June 1943, six months after Tesla's death, the US High Court ruled that the Marconi Company had infringed Tesla patents concerning radio transmission. In Oct 1943, the US Navy carried out a series of experiments in a Philadelphia dockyard. They used an electrical force field, to make the destroyer the USS Eldridge invisible. Many of the crew ended up in mental institutions. In 1993 the US department of Defence announced it was starting to build an experimental ionospheric research facility in Gakona, Alaska. The principle patents are improvements on patents first held by Tesla. These patents are for: "a method and apparatus for altering a region in the Earth's atmosphere, ionosphere and/or magnetosphere; a method and apparatus for creating an artificial electron cyclotron heating region of plasma; and a method for producing a shell of relativistic particles at an altitude above the Earth's surface." This book is a work of fiction.
