I know this may sound unrelated, but Portal 2 was JUST announced (3 days after its ARG start) and as WITB is somehow related to it… We should pay attention to it.
So, a thought hit me. Isn’t MMX a type of Math Matrix eXtension system? Maybe someone should run the numbers from the barcode through it and see what happens? :D
The video also has a clue at 1:43, u can see the posterof a box with a questionmark, that has the number 1.43, it also has a text above it something like “What is the deception phase?”
weird, but cool
P.S at 1:44 the numer changes to 1.44, the numers follow the timeframe of the video….
Hey thebruce, look at comment 272 written by Telos954 on January 16th, 2010 at 8:51 pm. You probably miss it. We know about the “Cars” video from Daybroke video, so you put the last two updates in the wrong order. “129″, “222″, and “315″ is the time of the Daybroke video (1:29, 2:22 and 3:15) when we can see the WITB icon. There is also WITB poster at 1:43, just read comment 272. And sorry for my englisch.
More spam from me, i know got kindoff curios
i think i know what to do with the link
there have been 3 videos o far, all with a diffrent namen
we had the news video, the video on the bridge, and the one with the cars,
filling in 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 with the names of the videos ???
and most of you dont even listen to the song and know what they say,
if you do , try to connect it to all the video’s and you will find more information ^_^
*Hey girl i wanna take you on a date*
the date on the video made on 06-08-2018 same date that revealse on the site if you type in – date
Thanks for the tips all, I’ve updated the end of the post with screenshots for what was likely the proper solution to the find the Cars video. Doesn’t look like anything else to find for the moment.
what´s in the box, episode “144” the twilight zone, no se de que servira pero debe estar relacionado, busquen ustedes, chau
At the beginning of the Daybroke video there is a voice that is hard to make out when she opens the jar/box before becoming hypnotized…anyone know that says?
There is also some text it looks like at 3:17 in the video, but it’s too small for me to make out with my PC…anyone have software to enhance that (enhance….enhance….enhance). :-)
at the start of the ‘hey girl’ robot(camera/or something) is saying ‘drone control’ blablabla (I cant understand 3th word) and i think that girl is losing control :P
Has anyone thought of looking up the bible writings for 1:29, 2:22 or 3:15?
Me and my friend think that Portal 2 will come out, then HL3. Not sure when though… SOMETHING with that reoccurring date though…
Me and a friend of mine have been talking and we think that in the “Daybroke – Hey Girl” video. The thing she picks up on the street is not a camera. We think it’s the “Box” it self. 48 sec into the video you see her eyes change color. You can notice in her right eye a light red circle comes out. And on the left a very, VERY faint circle can be seen.
If you take a look at one of the newspaper reports
, when clicking the right segment of the ring, you can see the u.e.c. logo. Another piece of paper has two rings,
one bigger than the other.
I don’t know if it has any potensial, but on the same page, on the piece of paper in the upper right corner there’s a ring. Also the text on it: Nachtmer. I googled it and found out that it means nightmare on dutch.
Just found something in Tim Smit Mythbuster’s apparition:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sIB2kL-BWc&feature=player_embedded
In 1:49, “Tenacious D” is written in the bottom right of the screen.
And in 3:53, a box with a question mark appears.
Hope this helps.
Please, this is not Valve’s work. This is beyond Valve.
Sure, Half Life is referenced many many times, along with HL2’s sound being used in the film. But this doesn’t have Valve’s signature on it. You can always tell what’s Valve’s and what’s not.
Besides, Valve has both Black Mesa and Aperture Science. Why would they need Babel?
I may as well throw my 2 cents in here…
If you’re still looking for clues in the barcode, the numbers in hex turn out to “PtP” (Peace through Power), so it doesn’t really mean anything special.
Also, No one seems to have pointed out that the two news videos have conflicting dates. The “entire city quarintined” one says 6-8-18, but the “Millions Dead” story says AUGUST 8TH… two days after the initial accident. Both these videos appear in the original teaser, so is it a mistake? It can’t be 2 days at once.
Someone else mentioned that Timacious did another video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sIB2kL-BWc) with a red box and a question mark at 3:53 and at the very end. I checked it myself; and noticed that there’s something that looks like text under the box, but it’s very blurry and I don’t know how to make it more clear than it is. Is there a way to enhance it?
I just ran that bar code through my own bar code scanner and it gave me the product number of.
02141350
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IaupCchXGU Looks to be related to all of this or is heavily influenced by it all, it has the Babel logo and the tower.
does any one found the ‘attainabless’ in the witb.nl anti.gif?
it’s written ‘failsafe’ in the other anti image..
Just noted something more.
In the audio transcription: “Tango Yankee November” are words from the fonetic alphabet. That translates to “TYN”.
Another thing: in the “Exposed” image is an arrow inside a circle. The same arrow can be found in the “anti” image. Maybe if someone lay out those arrows together we get something (I don`t have any image editing program now).
From the “Hey girl” video:
The girl is walking in a strange way, never taking her eyes off the camera and following it’s movements. also, some of the lyrics are ominous. (“Hey, Girl, i wanna enter your brain”)
It looks like whatever the thing was, it was addictive, to such an extent that she commits suicide.
Quick reminder for commenters: Please, again, read the article to find out if something’s already been mentioned or discovered, and look at the images too. Unless it’s new – newly published – chances are it’s now very old.
I’m not sure if anyone posted this on here, I know it’s on Unfiction, but no one has made any sense of it. On timsmit.info, if you put your mouse over the upper tentacle in the bottom right corner of the world, the words Urea Unfits Vino appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. Do you think it has anything to do with What’s In The Box? Someone on Unfiction e-mailed Tim Smit about it and he said that the person did a good job and to keep looking. What does everyone think?
Just had a thought. According to some people, I’ve heard that in portal 1, when you move the radio’s around rooms, you can pic up secret messages. This is from a recent update to the game. It might have some connections.
Has anyone actually tried to read what’s written behind the box on the anti.gif? It /looks/ like it’s discussing the change from solar energy to anti-matter energy. The mathematics of it look like they hold up as well, but the end result (1.06066) looks to me anyway, like a reference to Prince Rupert’s Cube. On the same token, there are quantum physics references as well, so perhaps The Box uses a solar conversion method to power itself, in effort to contain another dimension and possibly allow transport to and from said dimension?
about the hey girl video, i checked and if you scroll down in the description, it says this:

Find the right time in
order to find more Box.
that is probably hinting at the stuff you found in it about that other video, but i cant help but wonder if it has a few more secrets in it. please look further into that video.
I’m digging through the source engine GCF files, and in the sounds, there is the “62 long” audio clip, but forward. The file is alarms62.wav, so it’s probably not “62 long” but “62 alarms” I’ll keep looking through the files for any more similarities.
I am curious to know if anyone else has noticed that on the anti page, when you change the contrast and separate the images, there is invisible text that is reversed, and can only be revealed through contrast change. Also, the picture in the warning picture of Plank, and Einstein, lead me to believe that it has to do with the quantum theory because they met to discuss the use of light and protons. I tried to do what research I could with radiation and there theories because of the radiation level shown at the beginning of the original film.
I looked back on the things that happen when you type
certain things into the “http://www.whatsinthebox.nl/” website and babelresearch changes to babel re-search
I think this means to not research for something but search again for something most probably the box. So they didn’t make it if its a re-search so who did?
(note: not sure if this has been mention before as far as I can tell it hasn’t)
okay everyone! “urea unfits vino” is an anagram for “future invasion”
Hi there, i was visiting tomsmit.info and wacthing the video with the phonebook myth and at the end, this error occures in the clip : “CAVIStream Synth: System Exception – Access Violation at 0x27df7b1, writing to 0x0 ” I can’t remember if it’s the same exact line because i couldn’t access the site for some reason. I know this is a video conversion error [divx x268 or whatever, i just googled it] but it seems it’s embedded in the actual video, and must be one of tim’s misterious clues , hopefully. Maybe you guys can figure it out. [sorry for my bad english[
Has anyone noticed the the BSC ( http://babel-research.eu/?about=research_bsp ) is the only thing NOT seen in the video clearly, you can see the CBI (If you can’t see it you might want to get a new monitor, or your eyes checked) and the ISD is used to take out the cop guys in the bus…. well, I guess that the outer area is a small BSC sending power into the center starting the circle…
I tried to add anti-3dark as transparent layer overa Babel-Research website, but i don’t have a proper software. Can someone do this? I think this will give us some clues.
Vous aviez déjà vu ceci ?

A priori ça pourrait être la conclusion de ce buzz qui dure depuis plusieurs années. C’est à dire la sortie d’un film “The East Accident” basé sur “Half-Life”, “Lost” et donc, “What’s in the box”.
Après si vous lisez le commentaire de l’auteur ça me paraît étrange…
“Hi, my name is Roman Yavorsky, I’m 16 and this is the teaser of my first film “The East Accident” on motives of the saga Half-Life.”
C’est qui ce type ? Et Tim Smith il est ou ? Finalement ça serait juste inspiré de WITB ?
Voici un interview de lui. Si qqn parle russe ça peut aider !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7o_w_KMu9M
J’attend vos commentaires avec impatience ! J’y pige vraiment plus rien…
Timsit made a comment on his channel on the 1st of august, telling us there is more news coming up !
maybe in 4 days? (8th of august)
I’m excited!
@sven
Last time nothing happened… :\
Just found witb and wikibruce, and have to say I’m looking forward to any future progress (if any).
Not sure if this is the best place to post this or if it’s old news and irrelevant due to the poor quality of the layer, but I was using Gimp to mess about with the colour curves of anti.jpg from http://babel-research.eu/anti.jpg and found a block of colour with what looks to be handwriting over it.
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?9b5ee754de.jpg
This is the best I can do wih my poor skills but thought I would put it out there since it is not in the collection of overlays in the main posting.
Nothing happened… i mean 6th of august
I think I found something!!
>>There is much more to come. Things have been crazy. S.t.a.y. T.u.n.e.d.
Well, I posted it on some jabber conference and I found out that THERE IS HIDDEN SYMBOL between “to” and space before “come”.
In Firefox if you put this symbol in address bat itll give you %EF%BB%BF
And if you translate EF BB BF from HEX to DEC you will get

The text behind the graphic in the anti.jpg picture is an article on a type of solar cell. It is repeated a couple of times, for filling the background I guess.
There is one alteration to the article and that’s the yield percentages of the solar cell described in the article.
If ‘The Box’ hold the key to a solar cell capable of the mentioned efficiency, this will change the world as we know it :-)
Take a look at the original article at
also, at the bottom of the text there is the word ATTAINABLENESS in light grey…..
…Overtime everything is possible….
