Discussion of Elective Mass Inversion Apparatus1986Copyright © 1997 Property of Deborah K. Fletcher. All rights reserved.
The Elective Mass Inversion Apparatus (EMIA) was originally developed by T'pask, Sivek, B't'hr, and K't'lk, all outstanding in the field of creative physics. The EMIA operates in deSitter space, which is a space continuum similar to the third-dimensional space/time continuum with which each of us is intimately familiar. (1) The EMIA operates on the basis of infinite mass. This is a concept in which ordinary matter is "injected" with the energy which is necessary to trascend the speed of light. If the energized matter is not given accelerated speed, it will remain at its original point of existence, but in a virtual state. If a living being experiences infinite mass, it will experience duration without the standard accompaniment of elapsed time. In essence, the subject will exist in two time frames: subjective and objective. More on this later. If the energized matter is accelerated, it will "travel" along any of a number of time/space continua. With an EMIA, a pre-selected vector may be programmed into the acceleration. With this travel, the traditional three dimensions would become obsolete, because dozens of multi-dimensional universes and/or realities would become available. (2) The theory of the EMIA is to travel great distances, including intergalactic and interuniversal. This concept permits the relatively safe crossing of the energy barriers surrounding the galaxies. The longer the distance travelled, the more uncomfortable does the subject become. This is because we are structured and instructed to exist in three dimensions, and the EMIA places the subject in five dimensions: length, width, depth, time, and consciousness. The alert reader may notice that I here refer to common concepts with uncommon parameters. Many of you realize that time and consciousness are integral parts of our lives. In the dimensional context, however, these become physical dimensions. The theory of the EMIA is based on super-tachyons. These are particles which are capable of light wapr speeds. The tachyons are energized to the point of infinite mass, thereby increasing their speed. The fact of the infinite mass affects all matter in the vicinity of the particles. The amount of time permitted between the initiation of infinite mass and the introduction of acceleration determines the amount of matter affected. The acceleration programming is set to stop the entire effect immediately when sufficient distance is between the source and the point of existence. I hesitate to say "distance travelled" because the phrase implies elapsed time, of which there is none. There are several problems with this concept, as with all others which tamper with natural laws. In this case, relativity is in question. Does relativity apply to actions which require no time? This is a difficult question to answer, since this concept has been put into use only once, in prototype. At that time, many natural laws were bent, broken, and/or changed. This occasion will be referred to again later in this paper. The problem which we will discuss first is the primary consideration for humans. When the EMIA is in use, the consciousness of the persons operating about it will tend to become merged. This phenomenon usually continues for the "duration" of the jump (in this context, "duration" refers to the experienced time as opposed to the actual time). When this occurs, the mental energies of the subject become free of the restraints of physical structure. While the physical being is in temporal stasis, the mental being operates as if it were physical. The subject is able to manipulate space, time, and an infinity of dimensional anamolies. This state is referred to as psycholocomotion, and it exists within and without the area of temporal stasis, but not on the boundary (or physical limit). The second problem which we will discuss is of more widespread interest. It is the matter of spacial and temporal structure - in fact, dimensional stability. The difficulty is that, under certain circumstances, the primary space/time continuum will tend to "rip." This refers to the trans-dimensional entropy field being turned inside out. To illustrate this, picture a sheet of paper, secured in a rigid frame. If you put your first through the paper, one side of the paper will turn over onto the other side. As you continue to push your arm - and now let's get dramatic - your shoulder, and your body through the paper, the hole gets bigger and the amount of turned-over paper increases, spreading out farther from the point of initiation. The same principle applies to a rip in entropy. As the rip grows, the reverse of entropy - anentropy - spreads out into the universe. Anentropy is the absence of time and, hence, the absence of existence. Only anentropy can overwhelm entropy, in effect stopping, or killing, time. The hazard of anentropic infection becomes imminent only in the case of frequent, long-distance jumps. Jumps of half-galactic distance are the minimum safe tolerance, while single intergalactic jumps are the extreme maximum tolerance distance. Near there limits, engineers, scientists, and doctors should confer, and should exercise discretion. Suggestions on this subject should receive the full attention of commanders. An important problem of the EMIA which we will only touch on here is of special interest to astronomers and historians. When long-distance jumps are made within the gravitational spheres of unstable or multiple stars, these stars may tend to supernova. If these stars are yellow or smaller, the effect will be a nova more often than a supernova. The fourth problem which we will discuss is one which has been treated by many science fiction writers, and even by classical authors, such as Lewis Carroll. This problem involves dimension doors. When frequent jumps are made in the vicinity of black holes and/or similar anamolies, they may tend to open corridors to other-dimensional universes. When the EMIA was tested in prototype, this difficulty arose. During a particularly long jump, near an entropy rip (which is considered in the same class of phenomena with black holes), the test crew encountered a consciousness. This consciousness was in a dimension of anentropy. The crew used its merged consciousness to instruct the entity in the way our universe works. The entity then took the new knowledge and created a universe with its own unique form of entropy within the "limits" of its dimensional void. The Elective Mass Inversion Apparatus is sufficiently effective and efficient to allow it to be used as a standard means of long-distance travel in starships, despite its problems. With reasonable discretion, this device could become the primary mode of travel in this universe, transcending the basic warp drive. As a last note, a word of warning: any amount of infinite matter held in one place for more than several nano-seconds will draw the matter of the universe into itself, reversing the structure and entropy of the universe into a dimensional black hole.
