Scenario:Stephen Hawking's unpublished theories are found and lead to a breakthrough in time travel research. He then comes back to life from the future.
Create my version of this story
I had done it all.
I was the hotshot physics genius who made it big.
The first woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics for her contributions to the understanding of quantum entanglement.
The one who wrote her first paper at the age of 16 and got it published in Nature.
I had even made the cover of Time magazine.
But after that, things started to go downhill.
I had always been ambitious and determined, and I was driven by the idea that I would be the one to make that ground-breaking discovery that would change the way we see the world.
But after I had done everything there was to be done, what was left?
I had tried to find something new to strive for, but nothing ever seemed quite as important or exciting as that first big discovery.
So I had thrown myself into my work, day in and day out.
And now, at 32 years old, I felt like I was stuck in a rut.
Sure, I had written a lot of papers since then, and I had made some important discoveries.
But nothing earth-shattering.
And that was what I really wanted.
The chance to change the way we see the world.
I knew that not everyone got that chance, no matter how smart they were or how hard they worked.
But I had always thought that I would be different.
I had always been different.
So why hadnāt it happened for me?
As I sat at my desk in my small, cramped office at the university, lost in thought and staring blankly at my computer screen, my phone rang and jolted me back to reality.
It was my assistant David, and he sounded excited about something.
āWeāve found something interesting at the old physics lab,ā he said.
āThe one theyāre excavating for the new particle collider.ā
I sat up and rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the cobwebs.
āWhat do you mean?ā
āIām not exactly sure yet,ā he said.
āBut they seem pretty excited about it down there.You should come take a look.ā
Fifteen minutes later, I was standing at the edge of the excavation site where the old lab used to be.
A team of archaeologists and construction workers were huddled around something at the bottom of a hole in the ground, and it was hard to see exactly what they were so excited about.
But as I looked closer, I could see scraps of paper fluttering in the breeze, and I realized that they were books and papers that had been buried there for decades, now being unearthed.
I picked my way carefully down into the hole, and one of the archaeologists handed me a book that was falling apart at the seams.
The cover was faded and water-damaged, but it was clear enough for me to see the title: āTheories on The Nature of Realityā by Stephen Hawking.
I felt a rush of excitement as I turned to the first page and saw Hawkingās signature scrawled in his distinctive handwriting across the top of it.
The physicist had died over 100 years ago, and while his work was still studied and revered by scientists all over the world, most people thought that there was nothing new left to discover there.
