[edit | edit source]This page indexes all articles added in the Philadelphia Experiment expansion import, supplementing the original twenty articles. The expansion covers topics not addressed or only briefly mentioned in the base file: the detailed history of World War II degaussing research; the complete biography of Camp Hero / Montauk Air Force Station; the Cannon-class destroyer escort programme in full context; the life of Einstein during the war years; Preston Nichols and his claimed Montauk memories in depth; the Phoenix Project -- the claimed bridge between Philadelphia and Montauk; Stewart Swerdlow and additional claimants; the scientific physics of teleportation and why it fails at ship scale; the role of World War II electromagnetic research in spawning conspiracy theories; Paul Bennewitz and the Moore disinformation connection; the USS Timmerman and the Navy's own follow-on electromagnetic experiment; the 1984 film production history; the Stranger Things-Montauk development arc; J. Allen Hynek's peripheral involvement; the Allende Letters in their complete documentary form; Jacques Vallee's analysis; competing conspiracy theories about the experiment's actual purpose; and a complete sources and bibliography article.

| Philadelphia Experiment -- The Physics of Teleportation: Why a Ship Cannot Be Instantly Moved | What teleportation means in physics; quantum teleportation (real but impossible for large objects); wormhole theory; the energy requirements; why no electromagnetic field produces spatial translation |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- Einstein at War: His Actual Navy Service 1943-1945 | Einstein's real Navy consulting work; his BuOrd role; his correspondence on explosives; his security clearance limitations; his relationship with the Manhattan Project (deliberately kept at distance); why he was consulted on some things and not others |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- USS Timmerman: The Real Navy Electromagnetic Experiment | The USS Timmerman's power plant experiments in the 1950s; the discharge lights observed; how this real experiment was confused with or folded into the Philadelphia Experiment mythology; Carlos Allende's specific references to the Timmerman |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- Paul Bennewitz and the Moore Disinformation Operation | Who Paul Bennewitz was; his legitimate observations near Kirtland AFB; how Moore and government agents fed him disinformation; his psychological breakdown; what this reveals about Moore's integrity as a Philadelphia Experiment co-author |

| Philadelphia Experiment -- Stranger Things: From Montauk to Hawkins | The full development history of Stranger Things; the working title "Montauk"; the Duffer Brothers' stated influences; the specific Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk elements translated into the show's fiction; the cultural impact of repackaging the mythology for a mainstream audience |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- Jacques Vallee's Analysis of the Montauk Claims | What Vallee said about the Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk; his assessment of recovered memory claims; his framework for analysing conspiracy claims in the UFO field; his specific critique of Nichols and Bielek |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- The Allende Letters: Complete Documentary Record | The full text and context of Allen's original letters; what he actually wrote vs. what has been attributed to him; the evolution of his claims across multiple letters; the stylistic and psychological analysis of the letters |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- Electromagnetic Mind Control: MKULTRA and the Montauk Parallel | The real MKULTRA program; its documented scope; what the Montauk Project claims borrowed from MKULTRA's real history; the "Montauk Chair" as a fictional version of real mind control research; where the conspiracy meets documented history |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- Competing Theories: What Was Actually Being Hidden? | The five main alternative theories for what the Navy was really doing in Philadelphia in 1943 that might explain the story's origins; degaussing; radar countermeasures; torpedo defence testing; psychological warfare research; classified ship design |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- The Hyperspace Tunnel: Physics and Fiction | The specific physics claim at the heart of the time travel element; what hyperspace means in physics vs. science fiction; the Alcubierre warp drive metric; the relationship between the Philadelphia Experiment's claimed physics and genuine theoretical physics; how legitimate science was appropriated |
| Philadelphia Experiment -- J. Allen Hynek and the Scientific Credibility Bridge | Hynek's peripheral connection to the Philadelphia Experiment mythology; how his name was used to lend scientific credibility; his actual position on the experiment; the pattern of legitimate scientists being appropriated by conspiracy narratives |
