Looking Glass is a composite system used to modify time/space, and manipulate gravitational fields in order to bend time/space or open gateways. It can be used for time/space travel, observation (at a higher tuning), and basically a mailbox through time.

The computer system used to control it (called the magnification and braking system) is artificial intel based, the official line is the machine is not solely independent. It can self correct for magnification issues, directional problems, connection issues, etc. Any issues encountered during operation are corrected by the AI system, not the technician. It re-tunes tiself if there is an issue.

This is what caused a huge explosion at Dulce in 1999. This was due to the Magnification and Braking System (MBS) trying to correct a tune when some of the focus panels were misaligned. Not sure what happened but something occured in the room that caused the system to misalign. A fight perhaps and people hit it, gun shots, explosion, someone moving the panels?

The machine looks so delicate. The magnification panels, vapor barriers, and screens are so fragile. These are composite system made of types of metal, biological materials, and carbonite composites.
