I think
my name is Eilian Forge, professor of physics
I have no idea where I am,
if you're reading this, then maybe you have a better idea that I do.
The last memory I have was finishing up my lecture in Harvard
there was nothing out of the ordinary except this one man
challenging me about my theory of the forward motion of time. Then
not a thing
now i'm here
with only one message
I was recently nominated for my discovery of the advanced formula of time.
However awards and wealth mean little to me, My discovery will be used to aid mankind.
Alas my work is incomplete
Just like humanity I am lacking the missing link
something that I cannot solve
maybe there's something in this prison that may be of use.
I have all the variables
speed
distance in years. Even the mechanical composition of its physical being.
maybe that's it
practicality over Theorem.
I finally understand my purpose
the idea that all physicists have been studying since Well's published his novel.
whoever put me here wants me to use my mathematical formula to create physical
vessel to travel the existence of time
maybe if I complete it, I can escape before my creation is seized.
Time flows quickly
I know neither date nor time.
been staring at my equation for days
weeks maybe
i hope my invention will change the course of humanity for the better
those who have put me you intend to use my creation for wealth
It cannot remove
what has already been done but can transport us to a time that we are yet to
create
in future that may be
I can return to the moment of the device was created
no earlier
from this mankind may be able to avoid wars, diseases
extinction
I just need to find the missing link
to travel through time
is the same as running
to walk though a door would be as if you run around the world a million times over
your body would not survive
which means
which means
Hey! Hey!
Can you hear me out there?
You got what you wanted! I'm beaten! I'm beaten.
It's six pm I'm sure
the hatch brings food regular like clockwork. From this I have a measure of time again
At least now we can have some of our sanity back.
Almost there.
Alas I am at my end.
I feel like the plant, slowly dying losing all its strength.
without sunlight it struggles thus draining the colour
does this mean
For one to travel through time
We must first understand the theory of light
the speeds are beyond anything physical
If my theory were to work
I would need a substance that could be powered by light.
Of course
My container would need a self-preserving fuel supply
as it travels through light. That's it, I have it!
Chlorophyl! Harnessing the power of photosynthesis I will have an eternal source of
energy. To think
all these years
I've almost driven myself mad, wracking my mind over this confounded theorem
and yet the answer to my missing link is simple biology!
Thank you my friend! I must set to work at once!
I've finally finished my design
It's neither machine or door
no wormhole or portal or bridge
just simple physics
and biology
I address this log in confidence, that who ever put me here
be it criminals,
government, or even president Roosevelt himself
that this device will only be used for the good of mankind, and not to destroy it
I say my final farewell
Eilian Forge professor of physics
and inventor
of time travel.
Mr Forge!
It's a pleasure to finally meet you! -Who are you?
Are you from the future?
What is that?
You can breathe this air!
No?!
Mr Forge?
*Muffled noises*
Just Go!
No, put that down!
No!
This device will only be used for the good of mankind
and not to destroy it
not to become a society built upon money and greed.
The greed to want everything that is available just because we can
I don't want to live in a world of such desperation
