Sicilian Island Travels Through Time 15 Min Into Future

[The One]

Upon research saw that it was posted in several forums and alternative news blogs, this is the only video I was able to find of it from an actual news source 0.0

"Sicilians are not normally renowned for their punctuality but something strange is afoot that's making them turn up early for work.

Hundreds of digital clocks on the island are running more than 15 minutes fast and no-one is quite sure why. The phenomenon has left people scratching their heads for weeks and several theories have been put forward involving aliens, poltergeists, volcanic activity on Mount Etna and solar explosions. Armageddonists are pointing to further proof of the imminent end of the world.

The town of Catania lies at the heart of the mystery and two young locals have set up a facebook page calling for those affected to come forward. One of them, Francesco Nicosia, told French online magazine Rue89 "I realised something was wrong when I started getting to work earlier. After some investigation I noticed that I wasn't the only one who was on time, which is quite rare here in Sicily."

This isn't the first time the island has experienced strange goings on linked to electronic devices: several years ago electronic equipment started spontaneously catching fire across the rural countryside, reports Rue89.

Among the most credible explanations is electrical disturbance caused by underwater cables that have been undergoing maintenance, but that hasn't stopped many who think that the whole thing is a conspiracy to punish Sicilians for their tardiness

They should pay them those 15 minutes.

My mother in laws sister lives in Catania and I asked my MIL to ask her when she rang there this afternoon and she says she hasn't heard anything about it.

But she's pretty old and doesn't have to be anywhere at any particular time - so she just might not be paying any attention to that sort of thing. But she hasn't heard anything about it on the news. I don't know if that's surprising or not. Maybe they have crap news like we do.

many digital clocks, from the older days of digital clocks..they received their timing aspects from the frequency waveform of the AC coming from the AC power lines. Those AC power line cycles and waveforms are usually VERY accurate... as they have to be, in order to properly sync up the different lines and systems that are all connected to the same grid. Any mismatch, however slight, would be like the wheels on a 40 ton truck trying to turn at different speeds.

Thus many clocks used the timing of the AC waveform (which changes 50 times a second in Europe and 60 times a second in North America) to be accurate via counting the cycles at a given stable change point in the AC waveform that is measured.

Now, if a severe noise is introduced on the AC power lines, this can cause the clock to 'count fast' as it sees the noise on the AC power line as 'clicks' or 'cycles' (repeats of signal change)..and thus..counts too fast.

The reveal would be the DESIGN of the given clocks that are counting fast.

If the given clocks derive their timing from an internal crystal (which is set to oscillate in resonace) and not from the AC power line, then..."Houston, we have a problem!"

That would be aetheric changes.

From here..we don't know. We can only speculate.
