Preceded by a great rumbling, the giant auger burst the bounds of earth – New York and London were connected, as planned!Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean.
This past week, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed.
An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right through the Earth from London to New York
and vice versa.
"...the Trans-Atlantic Telectroscope...started out as a dream project of the eccentric Victorian engineering entrepreneur Alexander Stanhope St. George.
Some called it a "folly." Others said, "shear madness." Even the greatest visionary of the age, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, blustered, "But, I was just kidding!"
The nay-sayers were correct. The spycam tunnel – a camera just a little too obscura – failed.But now, after all these years, the tunnel has been fitted with a giant "electronic telescope" and state-of-the-art technology, by his great-grandson!
The present-day Mr. St. George, resurrected the project and developed the Telectroscope after discovering his great-grandfather's dusty notes and diaries in an attic.
The tunnel entrances were reopened beside Tower Bridge in London and Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
Needless to say, many are excited at the prospects of "seeing" friends and relatives across the Atlantic. Imagine standing 3,460 miles away from your loved one and peep into the telescope to see them."
Humbug or Amazing?You decide...
On view until June 15th.
