The episode in question was called, The Borderland and it was about some scientists who were doing intense magnetic field experiments in attempts to open a way to a 4th spatial dimension. Now, that intrigued me for more than one reason. I had been doing extensive study and research on the concept of a 4th spatial dimension, in fact I developed a theory I called the 4th D Hypothesis, which stated that Bernard Riemann’s 4th dimension was actually superspace from which the superpositional states of quantum mechanics stemmed from and from there came the parallel universes from the Everett/Wheeler hypothesis. It unified elements of Euclidean geometry, Relativity theories, quantum mechanics and cosmology into a smooth continuum that said that time defined space, space creates time, gravity affects both and velocity escapes the limitations of all three. I had started to show it around to physics professors who found nothing wrong with it and it would end up being published in my special report for select members of Congress, which is now my book, PARADOX LOST:The Public Edition.
The idea of reversing the polarity of strong magnetic fields had been an area of research with some success of one of my closest colleagues, named Chris, who built iron modules with massive, homemade capacitors powered by DC batteries. I had asked a physicist about one of Chris’ inventions, one which I knew almost got him sued by a woman who had sat in it after it had been activated. She claimed that it caused her to have out of body experiences that she couldn’t control for two solid weeks. I didn’t tell the physicist about that, I just described the tetrahedronal shape it had with the heavy duty coils on each axis and he said that it would send a magnetic field in each direction a distance that he couldn’t calculate.
That was Chris for you. Brute force physics, where I was more information and quantum mechanics based. Sometimes our different approaches caused friction, but nothing serious. We both were obsessed with findings clues to breakthroughs in advanced concept science by plumping the lost and forgotten scientific works from the near past. And so it was that The Borderland had both - the use of brute force physics with massively powered magnetic fields to pry open the space between our 3 dimensions of space into a 4th dimension of space. Someone at that production company had been doing some very interesting reading.
However, it didn’t end there. The device that was used in the show was a platform with a large coil at each corner, a configuration I was well aware of. I had seen it before and depending on how you wired it up, it could power swirling fields around the platform, applying torsion physics to the space inside and open up the space in the center, something that I didn’t completely understand then, but I sure as Hell do now.
Below is a close-up of a photo in a hotel room at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago that I took when I was attending the 2004 International Mars Society Conference, the first science conference I attended and also my first time presenting a paper. Directly atop the two large square gate sections with the circle in each center, there is a small square with an even smaller square at each corner, the same places where those coils are on that platform from The Borderland.
Below is the full original photo.

The entire floor there at the time was what we call, “marked up”. There was parallel universe and transdimensional travel imagery hidden in the photos all over that floor. Things that looked like black holes, wormholes, fractal geometry, and more - all photographed as parts of iron works of some sort of another. On my floor, there were old color pen and ink drawings depicting art of forests and other lands, but they were inside of picture frames in the picture, and somewhere in each, the flora would extend beyond the depicted frame, indicating that they were actually “doorways” to other worlds, at least symbolically. It turns out that Tesla had been at that hotel before back when he had lit up the Chicago World’s Fair with AC power to Edison’s great disappointment. In one ballroom, there were tall mirrors on the opposite walls, each inside a frame that looked liked the kind around a front door of a house. Many of us there remarked how it made us feel like someone could come stepping through either of those mirrors at any moment. The rest is for another time…
One of the things about The Borderland was that they used static as a visual effect for the strong magnetic field that was being created by the scientists, and I had already learned that TV static appears to be 3 dimensional if you look at it with a filter over one eye so that more light gets to the eye without the filter. It’s called the Pulfrich effect and you have to have an analog TV (it will NOT work with a digital one because digitals have no static). It looks like there’s holographic, alternate dimension inside the TV. Little did I know how that would show up again in real life…
