Iron Butterfly Member Disappears After Working on Faster-Than-Light Communication/Travel

was just talking about this with my mom and wondered how many here actually knew or have heard about him

if not, you owe it to yourself to at least should know of this story, as it was on Oprah, Unsolved Mysteries, America's Most Wanted, KTLA, and in various newspapers even a congressman urged the FBI to look into his vanishing

Philip 'Taylor' Kramer rock star bassist & mathematical genius/aerospace engineer worked at Northrop on the MX missile project. A student of theoretical physics, he pursued particles and equations that he believed would someday permit objects to move faster than the speed of light "warp speed" making possible travel to the stars.

He vanished on February 12th, 1996. The circumstances surrounding it has been the subject of many tv shows. Just days before he disappeared, Kramer and his father believed they had worked out a mathematical breakthrough, says Iron Butterfly band co-founder Ron Bushy, "We're talking 'Beam me up Scotty' time."

This may be the key to cracking the light-speed problem. It could make possible instantaneous transmission of matter
and data to any point in the universe.

The Equation, his father Ray Kramer says, combines the work of science's greatest minds: Newton, Einstein, Planck and Fermi. Relativity, quantum mechanics, quarks: It's all here, but no one else has put it all together

In May 1999, two hikers discovered Kramers 1993 Ford Aerostar van at the bottom of a Malibu, Calif., ravine. Skeletal remains found inside and near the vehicle were confirmed through dental records to be those of Kramer.

we will ever know the truth?
