Can We Capture the Past?

The car stopped at the door, then drove away. After a few days, a photo of the empty door was taken. And a miracle! The shadow of that very car appeared against the background of the door…

In a normal river of Russia, the camera captured an image of a tropical forest, a consistent palm forest. Where could such a tropical forest come from? Fifty million years ago, or a hundred million?

At the empty throne of the Tsar in a palace in Saint Petersburg, a photo captured the silhouette of a man sitting. The 18th-century caftan (a traditional long robe worn by Russian men), the familiar tall figure… Tsar Peter the Great!

What is going on? Excerpts from tall tales? Absolutely not.

For a long time, humanity has dreamed of “seeing” into the past. Genrikh Mikhailovich Xilanov, a geologist and expert at the laboratory in Voronezh (Russia), has done just that. He invented a device capable of capturing images of past events! Xilanov believes he employs a familiar physical effect that he calls the “special phenomenon of memory.” However, he speaks cautiously about the nature of this effect, and he claims that the technique of “photographing the past” cannot yet be disclosed for easily understandable reasons…

According to Xilanov, any material structure existing at any moment leaves its trace on the electric field lines of energy poles. His special camera has managed to locate the very reflections of such traces.

The Marvelous Effect

Xilanov accidentally discovered this marvelous effect in 1992 while successfully testing a device to photograph UFOs. This was due to his many years of leading a team of scientists researching unidentified flying objects (UFOs). At that time, he noticed on several photographs what appeared to be traces of non-existent objects superimposed on visible objects. It seemed like photo manipulation, but it was not… Upon closer consideration, it is not surprising, but we are currently unable to see it!

If at night we look up at the stars, we are observing a picture of the sky that existed thousands and millions of years ago, as the light from many stars takes a long time to reach us… Moreover, we are not looking at a specific object; we are merely observing its delayed arrival, which means that even insignificant light is sufficient to travel from the object to our eyes.

Regarding the film used to take these “photos of the past,” Xilanov reveals that it is “finer” than the human eye in terms of ultraviolet and infrared spectrum range. Many details that do not reach us can be detected in the ultraviolet spectrum. Important features of this camera include special lenses and photosensitive materials, where there is actually no gelatin layer to capture passing ultraviolet waves.

So how does this lens work? We all know that window glass does not allow ultraviolet rays to pass through, which is why sitting indoors does not provide sun exposure through ordinary glass. To achieve a tan indoors requires quartz glass. The ordinary lens of this camera acts like standard window glass: first, only a few random ultraviolet rays pass through the camera’s “films of the past.” Understanding this, Xilanov began an unusual meticulous task. He selected small quartz crystals from the coarse sand, melted them down, and shaped them into very thin lenses. Secondly, he painstakingly polished it by hand using Newton’s method. The result of this diligent labor was that after a year, the “time lens” was completed.

Xilanov installed the lens into the camera and took test photographs in the doorway of his laboratory. Thus, the image of the car that had long since driven away appeared, causing a sensation in the scientific community… Adjusting his camera to the necessary “standards,” Xilanov gathered enthusiastic individuals and embarked on an expedition along the banks of the Khoper River, where he continued his experiments. One of the most successful photos taken at that time featured the head of a soldier wearing a helmet from the past appearing against the background of some bushes.

Here, where the Khoper River flows, there has never been a tropical forest like those in India or Africa. It was Xilanov’s camera that revealed this fact… Interestingly, in a similar manner, Kazakh scientist Dr. L.X. Pritsker and researcher A.V. Karavaikin from Jukovski near Moscow have also achieved similar results. They possess many similar photographs. It should be noted that the Kazakhstan Prosecutor’s Office has examined all of their photos and officially confirmed their authenticity.

It can be said that Karavaikin approached the “special phenomenon of memory” from a different angle. Using self-made equipment, not just in photography, he managed to study what are called “UFO traces” at their landing sites, sometimes correlating with very interesting anomalies. This scientist has demonstrated that time, which is also a physical category, has different densities in different spatial realms… and under certain conditions, it can also contain specific information! Are not the cameras of Xilanov and Pritsker capturing images that hold the universe’s memories?

When Will There Be a Theater for the Past?

It’s hard to imagine when the method of photographing the past will develop. The range of applications is vast – from using “time photography” by criminologists to investigate crimes to restoring ancient peoples, civilizations, and the primordial periods of Earth’s existence that paleontologists have not yet achieved…

Following “photography of the past,” will there be “cinema of the past” with sound? Will there be a scientific revolution that changes both the lives and thoughts of all humanity (?). Considering the rhythms of modern progress, it certainly won’t be long to wait for this.
