Excerpt:
“Uh, Tanya? Do you ever, I don’t know, run into yourself? In Time?”
“Don’t be silly. There’s only one of me.”
“But, that doesn’t make sense.”
“The way it was explained to us was, there are multiple iterations of Time, but you are a singularity.” And that was that. But it was only half the equation.
“Look, that brings up something. I get that you travel through Time (he thought of Time as an entity, now, something he could almost touch), but how do you travel through space? How did we go from California at midnight, to Flanders at noon?” She nodded. “I had to take a course in advanced temporal-fluidics, and it was still difficult to understand. It’s even harder to explain, but … let me use the analogy my professor used. “When we travel through Time, think of our toes as leaving the surface of the Earth. In fact, that’s why it was so easy for me to carry you along when you were struggling; Time itself pulls us along. Then, as we step, the Earth rotates beneath us. I choose when and where to touch down.” James sort of got it. He knew the Earth was roughly 24,000 miles around, so with 24 hours in a day you’re moving about 1,000 miles an hour. If you could theoretically float above the surface (without being flung at 1,000 miles an hour when you left), the planet would rotate beneath you. It would be like traveling at 1,000 miles an hour.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI’m here, if anybody has a question.
Sincerely,
Tanya Park.
Addendum: I started out as an art major, realized that wasn’t going to land me a job, so I switched to Biology (love being a scientist!) Then, while still in college, landed a position as a Medical Illustrator for the Legal Profession.
You know when you see a courtroom case on television, and there is often a 4-foot board on an easel behind the attorney representing the injury of the plaintiff?
That’s what I do!
What a cool cover! :)
