			Chernobrov's Time Machine
 
			  
			A Prospective Space Transportation System
 
  Vadim Chernobrov is way out there. An energetic Russian with an Abe 
			Lincoln beard and a polyester three-piece suit, Chernobrov cut his 
			teeth in UFO research as an employee of the "spacecraft department" 
			of Moscow's Aviation Institute. 
			  
			
			At one stage Chernobrov decided to 
			branch into time travel. Not surprisingly, he had problems getting 
			state funding.  
			  
			With his meager savings he built a time machine 
			himself. To avoid ridicule, Chernobrov and his team didn't actually 
			call it a time machine. They preferred "Prospective Space 
			Transportation System." The system is small: slightly larger than a 
			basketball, in fact, and covered, apparently, in "electromagnetic 
			skins." 
 The orb has a top panel that could lift up, revealing a tangle of 
			wires and several small clocks. One wire pokes out, connecting the 
			device to an electrical transformer.
 
			  
			Chernobrov claims the 
			Prospective Space Transportation System could control time rates. In 
			his tests he claims to show that for every 3,600 seconds outside of 
			the system that only 3,560 seconds would pass inside - 40 seconds 
			slower. 
			 
			  
			The electromagnetic fields, he said, altered the passage of 
			time.
