You have entered my realm...a temporal realm. I am R.K. Wigal. I write stories (not laboriously long ones) that deal with time travel. Time is a river that adheres to those physical laws known as fluid dynamics. The river, time, has many branches. Time can flow rapidly, as over a waterfall; slowly, as along flat terrain; or it can stand still, as in a tidal pool. Time's Paradox: Imagine you build a time machine. It is possible to travel back in time, meet your grandfather before he produces any children (i.e. your father/mother) and kill him. Thus, you would not have been born and the time machine would not have been built, a paradox. (Taken without permission from the University of Oregon who excerpted it from the Encyclopedia Britannica, also without permission.) Timelines: Today, many scientists believe that the universe we exist in is but one of an infinite number of alternate, parallel universes. Likewise, I believe that there exist an infinite number of alternate, parallel timelines that link the past to the present and the present to the future. Thus, if you travel back in time and you alter one or more entities or events in the past, an alternate, parallel timeline will subsequently be linked to the present. Similarly, if you travel forward in time and you alter one or more entities or events, the result will be an alternate, parallel future. Gene Roddenberry, Great Bird of the Galaxy (August 19, 1921 - October 24, 1991) He took us aboard USS Enterprise, This eagle with vision so clear, Far into the vast, black, limitless skies On a trek through the final frontier. But beyond mere trips through the substance of space And through rips in the fabric of time, He took our minds to a loftier place And imbued them with purpose sublime. Written by R. K.
