Philosophy of Time Travel :: Ch 1 :: The Tangent Universe

Summary: The Primary Universe is fraught with great peril. War, plague, famine and natural disasters are common :: The Fourth Dimension of Time is a stable construct, though it is not impenetrable :: Incidents when the fabric of the fourth dimension becomes corrupted are incredibly rare... The linear paradigm of Time as a single "line" is a theory constantly in need of correction :: Potential energy may build in the local collective unconscious, leading to wave interference from a Parallel Universe... If a Tangent Universe occurs, it will be highly unstable, sustaining itself for no longer than several weeks :: Eventually it will collapse inward upon itself, forming a Black Hole within the Primary Universe capable of destroying all existence... A Clock of Spirals and Spheres...A Compass pointing eight ways...Not a calendar counting the years...The Gears of the Clockwork and Eight Compass hands are carved to be spun directly from stone... In the heart of this stone a firestorm flows from the eye of one star to the other... The Stone has been turned :: The Clock Dragons' spoken... and there are none now that live who recall they were woken...For it is the doom of men, that they forget... Return the Crystal Skull :: Return what you have stolen from the People of the Forest :: The Aztec Compass will bring you great danger :: Arguments increase your crime :: No power on Earth can conquer Time ::
