316: He Disappeared After Using His Homemade Time Machine: The Wild Story of Mike "Madman" Marcum
In 1995, Mike “Mad Man” Marcum was tinkering with a homemade Jacob’s Ladder at his home in King’s City, f, when he accidentally created a vortex using a modified CD laser pointed at the object. After modifying the test, stealing power generators, and constructing a larger version, Mike became famous when he appeared on Art Bell’s “Coast to Coast” to speak about his invention. But then, after telling Art he was 30 days away from creating his working time machine, Mike Marcum wasn’t heard from for 15 years. What happened to the Mad Man? Did he invent time travel? And in what ways are theoretical physicists working now to understand time and how we can manipulate it?
