In the tradition of Albert Einstein’s thought experiment, Theoretical Physicist and Mathmetician Benjamin Tippett has wondered what would have to be the case for what is very possibly H.P. Lovecraft’s most disturbing story, “The Call of Cthulhu” to be true?
“The most merciful thing in the world… is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.”
H P Lovecraft
Of course the story is not true and no one is suggesting that it is, but the ramifications of his delving into the matter touch upon many facets of other mysteries. Our search for Dark Matter, that part of the universe that is required for the expansion we witness and formation of galaxies yet have never found one ounce of.
As Johansen recounts his adventures upon the uncharted island, he remarks several times about the frightening geometric qualities of the place. Thurston describes them using the phrase Non-Euclidean, although its intended meaning is not apparent. Generally, his use of the phrase is interpreted as referring to the architecture of the buildings upon the island. We contend that this orthodox interpretation is incorrect. Indeed, most sophisticated architecture which integrates any curvature of any kind could correctly be described as being non-Euclidean. Yet, no one who has explored the notable edifices of Frank Gehry’s design or the Roman coliseum would describe the experience as nightmarish or cyclopean.
We intuit that it was not the walls of the buildings, but rather the interstitial space itself which possesses a curvature. The distinction is simple to describe. Orthodox interpretations have it that Johansen is describing an architecture which could be drawn as curved lines on a flat page. We contend that Johansen is describing an architecture comprised of (what amounts to) straight lines inscribed upon a curved surface (such as as saddle or a sphere).Einstein’s theory of general relativity posits that space alone cannot be curved, since (to put it colloquially) space and time are different directions along the same surface. Thus, it is natural to begin our investigation with the hypothesis that it is spacetime itself which carries the curvature.
The curvature of spacetime is associated with many well known effects. The most common of these is poetically referred to as gravitational lensing, wherein the image of objects laying beyond a curved region will become warped and skewed as gravity bends the trajectories of rays of light.
Our research into “Warp” drives and the exploration of space beyond our solar system, opening the door for the possibility that we are being visited. 
To temper our findings, we concluded our study by asking whether Johansen’s spacetime bubble could be generated with any physically feasible matter. As our model demonstrates, an exotic type of matter with which human science is entirely unfamiliar is required for such a geometry to exist. Indeed, this is the very species of energy which is theoretically required to build a warp drive or a cloaking device. Only a people capable of crossing vast cosmic distances could have constructed Johansen’s bubble. Furthermore, whoever constructed such a structure would need command over vast energies, and the capacity to construct edifices on a cyclopean scale.
And ssues of the psychology behind sightings and reports of UFOs, Cryptids, Ghostly apparitions and many other unexplained phenomena.
Conversely, what is the probability that the imagination of a layperson in the 1920’s would be able to accidentally describe not just the effects of gravitational lensing but also the consequential anomalous relationship between lines, angles and areas in a curved space? How would he know to provide details to a mystery whose only solution could be time dilation due to curved spacetime? How likely is it that men with no knowledge of modern general relativity would be able to blindly fabricate so many self-consistent details?
