| “But don’t we need the fractal inducer?”
El asked. We were in the kitchen now. Dave was making
us one of his spectacular chilli dishes by way of
celebration, but to be honest drinking the beer with
El would have been good enough for me.
“In a manner of speaking, yes.” I told
her.
“I thought you said it would work, though.
If it needs the inducer its not gonna make a very
good show to the board is it?” Chipped in Dave.
“Yes it will. You’re missing the point.
What does the inducer do, fundamentally?”
“Well it pushes the temporal harmonic resonance
field beyond the fifth node into the point of causal
instability. At that point the space-time dimensions
begin to flip and time effectively stands still. Then
as you push on past the sixth node the dimensions
are fully reversed and time moves backwards. We all
know all of this, Jack, so what exactly are you getting
at?”
“Sorry, Ill just explain it straight shall
I? Essentially the inducer is a kind of control device.
With it, a smooth transition is possible and hence
the thing you’re sending doesn’t get flipped
in the process of dimensional exchange. As you, yourself
have proved many times before, anything jumping between
levels rapidly gets turned into mesons into a rather
spectacular fashion.”
“I’m still not seeing where your going,
Jack.” Said Dave, adding just the right amount
of spices to the chilli.
“Get me another beer and Ill make everything
clear” I told him.
Dave got me the beer. “Famous last words”
he said making us laugh.
“Look,” I continued. “What it is
that I think I’ve figured out a way of circumnavigating
the whole problem. I’ve had a graduate working
on something, this last year and I think I know how
to make it work.”
El took a big swill of beer. “Do tell.”
“OK, well first things first. This is all only
going to work on an atomic scale, as molecules will
just be destroyed, as I’m just trying to prove
the principal, after all. So anyway, what we have
to do is set up a Helium atom vibrating at the fourth
harmonic and bounce a proton off its innermost resonance
shell. But the trick is the proton has to be spinning
at just the right angular velocity, as then it will
curve into the shell, setting up a stable, well, orbit
is the word I suppose.”
El looked puzzled “Well I know that’s
roughly what the graduates been working on, but then
what?”
“This is the beautiful bit. We bombard the
Hydrogen nucleus with gamma-rays and if we get the
frequency just right the energy dump should bounce
it into the sixth level, where its energy will dissipate
and out it will pop, several micro-seconds before
it went in.” I could see El was about to protest.
“No it wont be turned into a meson. What will
happen is the Helium molecule will decay instead.
Or at least it should. You see the Helium molecules
stability will absorb the backwash from the jump,
I worked it out this afternoon.”
“Bugger me. You know it might just work”
said Dave, lade ling out the chilli and distributing
more beer. |
