| “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. |
