The Mystery at the Mystery Spot

Figure 2.

Shown in Figure 2 above is a phenomenon caused by a change in gravity. This change causes mass, volume, frequency, time and energy to curve or fluctuate. To measure this change in gravity, the SmartSPOT system was developed. It measures this change as a temporal difference using an Accutron tuning fork watch, which vibrates at a natural frequency of 360Hz. Since the frequency of vibration of the tuning fork watch is a function of geometry and mass, a change of these parameters would be indicated by a change of watch's natural frequency. This is key towards understanding mass fluctuations due to changes in gravity.

 

Figure 3.

You'll observe a second generation SmartSPOT II system shown in Figure 3. The purpose of this configuration is to cancel out locally induced frequency variations of the tuning fork watch, and only capture the data that reveals a temporal difference across the anomaly.

is being measured as temporal shift between two high precision clocks, which are simultaneously
measuring the frequency of an Accutron Watch vibrating at a frequency of approximately 360 Hz.
