Photographic Demonstration of
The Quantum Leap

The following photos illustrtate the principle of the Quantum Leap. The bullet in each photo travels at the top of the picture from left to right. The streaking effect of the bullet is caused by two factors: the light hitting air molecules compressed by the speed and shape of the bullet; and superimposition. Nonetheless, behind the airwall and despite superimposition, the bullet moves discontinuously.

As the bullet travels from left to right it hits a small metallic object, such as a nail, tack head or washer. Upon contact, the object is propelled at a velocity far greater than the speed of the bullet, much like a bat hitting a ball. Moving at such a great speed, the object easily outsteps its own three dimensional form, stops for exactly 1/64,000 of a second, and leaps again.

During the stops, the object reflects light back into the camera. The camera can record the stops but not the quantum leaps, because the leaps are instantaneous, and therefore faster than light. The transluscent streaks that appear through the leaps are simply air molecules compressed by the form of the object as it moves instantaneously and discontinuously through space.

 

Figure 5       High Resolution .gif of Figure 5 (98k)	Equipment Setup: Setup #2 Bullet: .22 magnum Bullet Velocity: 2000 feet (609.6 m) per sec Objects Shown: Two 1/16 inch steel pellets are stacked on the point of a magnetized nail, then propelled by the bullet. Observations: In Figure 5 we see examples of quantum leaps representing different velocities,as particles of different sizes are projected by the bullet.
Figure 6       High Resolution .gif of Figure 6 (9k)	Equipment Setup: Setup #2 Bullet: .22 magnum Bullet Velocity: 2000 feet (609.6 m) per sec Objects Shown: 1/2" common nail, balanced on the point of a magnetized nail, then propelled by the bullet. Observations: The nail is hit by the bullet and performs a half-spin before each stopped moment. Gravity and magnetism are among the reactive forces that cause the nail to position itself vertically in each stopped moment.

Figure 8       High Resolution .gif of Figure 8 (98k)	Equipment Setup: Setup #2 Bullet: .22 magnum Bullet Velocity: 2000 feet (609.6 m) per sec Objects Shown: Thumb-tack with the pin portion removed. Observations: We detect that the bullet has been mutilated, and that it carried its deformation throughout. We also detect, with the lower thumb tack, not only a twist in the trajectory, but also the scar left by the prior removal of the pin from the tack head. Furthermore, we see the black backdrop right through the air compression created by the leap. This compression can only be there because the air particles have themselves a moment of 1/64,000 of a second during which they can be photographed.
Figure 9       High Resolution .gif of Figure 9 (78k)	Equipment Setup: Setup #2 Bullet: .22 magnum Bullet Velocity: 2000 feet (609.6 m) per sec Objects Shown: Thumb-tack with the pin portion removed. Observations: We notice again the scar on the tack head, and also the near absence of air compression within the last leap.
Figure 10       High Resolution .gif of Figure 10 (117k)	Equipment Setup: Setup #2 Bullet: .22 magnum Bullet Velocity: 2000 feet (609.6 m) per sec Objects Shown: Small steel washer Observations: This photo illustrates the longest leap that we have been able to secure, by propelling a small steel washer hit by a heavy leaden bullet. The trajectory again indicates a twist, while the hole of the washer is clearly visible at the end of the leap. Had there been continuity in the motion of any of these objects, the track would have been as thick as that of the bullet itself. The black backdrop could not have been perceived through these tracks, and no defined characters could have been perceived anywhere at all.
