Your Honor, I would like to admit this exhibit into evidence as Exhibit A.
November 7, 2000, John submitted to TTI a post describing his time-travel device. In this post he describes his device having 4 cesium clocks in the C204. For those who don't know what a cesium clock is, it is a time-keeping device that measures the frequency in which atoms vibrate. Cesium is a chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. Cesium plays a critical role in technology, especially in atomic clocks, where its precise oscillation frequency is used to define the second in the International System of Units (SI). It's also used in electronics, medical imaging, and even as a drilling fluid in the oil industry.
However, John mentions in the same post that the C206 time displacement unit uses 6 cesium clocks, but (a huge but) but they use an optical system to measure the oscillation frequency. To the average Joe this might seem completely benign. Although it may seem like an insignificant detail, the research I conducted via pure curiosity found that the optical system in order to measure atomic frequency for purpose of clock was not invented yet. The earliest you can find this tech being developed was at the University of Tokyo in 2001 (a year after John's Post), where a man named Professor Hidetoshi Katori developed an Optical Lattice Clock, which is similar to the Optical Atomic Clock. However, there was a demonstration of optical comb technology in 2000.
In other words, in 2001, optical atomic clock technology was a very new emerging technology. He mentions it almost like 'in passing' as part of his time-traveling narrative?
Methinks not.
The Image above is an example of what is called an Optical Atomic Clock.
The cesium clock does pre-date John's posts, however, the patent for an OPTICAL system that checks oscillation frequency has a patent:
Pantent #US7982944B2
Simply entitled: "Method and apparatus for optical frequency comb generation using a monolithic micro-resonator."
The year of our lord good 'ol 2008.
This is a screenshot from a YouTube video that has a robot voice reading all of John's Posts.
I highlighted the key sentence.
Just some context to further my theory.
One of NIST's 2013 pair of ytterbium optical lattice atomic clocks.
Look at how massive they were in 2013. They weren't even imagined to be portable until fairly recently. But John did? How?
Also, John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hansch shared the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to optical clock development.
So, what do you think?
Disclaimer* if I am missing information or have anything wrong it was due to the excitement of getting this posted. Perhaps more due diligence is in order.
Or perhaps I stumbled across something everyone overlooked?
Please help either proving me correct or let me down easily and tell me I am a schmuck.
