The experiment was allegedly based on an aspect of some unified field theory, a term coined by Albert Einstein to describe a class of potential theories; such theories would aim to describe mathematically and physically the interrelated nature of the forces of electromagnetism and gravity, in other words, uniting their respective fields into a single field. In 1943, the USA got entangled with a shocking experiment, famous as the Philadelphia Experiment.
