Her presence helps balance out the maledominated environment and provides a sense of camaraderie with Evelyn.
Dr. Richard Kim
cautious, and pragmatic. Dr. Kim often acts as a voice of reason within the team by considering potential risks and limitations of their research goals. While he occasionally questions Evelyn's ideas, he maintains a professional demeanor and focuses on ensuring scientific integrity in their work.
New York City, Weyland-Yutani Corporation, 2173
"Are you insane?"
Michael Hayes asked.
I took a deep breath and counted to ten.
If I could do that, I gave myself a gold star.
"Why is it insane to want to travel faster than light?"
I asked.
"It’s against the laws of physics," he said.
I rolled my eyes.
The man was a first-class moron.
He knew that.
He knew I knew that, and yet he acted like it was the first time he’d heard something like that.
"Quantum entanglement is faster than light," I said.
"Teleportation is faster than light. We’re not talking about making a spaceship go Vroom! We’re talking about making a jump in space-time, just like the wormhole that brought the Hadley’s Hope to where it was when it called for help."
Wormhole.
Another thing the man didn’t understand?
Did he live under a rock?
It wasn’t like the concept was new or anything.
It had been around since 1916, developed by Ludwik Silberstein and later developed by others in the 1930s.
It was a part of Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
I sat across from him in the conference room, the diagrams of space-time spread out on the table.
I pointed to the equations.
"This is Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It’s a theory that describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by the mass and energy of objects."
I pointed to a diagram of a star warping space-time.
"See this? The star is warping space-time with its mass. It’s creating a gravitational field."
Michael leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest.
He looked at me skeptically, but he didn’t say anything.
I continued.
"Now, imagine two stars, each one warping space-time with their mass. If they’re close enough to each other, their gravitational fields will overlap."
I pointed to another diagram where two stars were close to each other and their gravitational fields overlapped.
"This creates a shortcut through space-time," I said.
"It’s called a wormhole."
Michael looked at me like I was crazy, but he didn’t say anything.
Dr. Kim nodded thoughtfully, taking notes on her tablet.
Dr. Nguyen did the same.
I slid the diagrams across the table to Michael.
"Study these," I said.
"I’ll be back tomorrow to see if you understand them."
As I left the room, I couldn't help but wonder if tomorrow would finally be the day he grasped the future.
I walked to the rooftop parking lot, my mind replaying the meeting.
Michael’s skepticism still stung, but Dr. Kim and Dr. Nguyen’s support gave me hope.
I climbed into my hover car, the door sliding shut with a soft hiss.
I adjusted the controls, the engine humming to life.
As I took off, the chilly dusk settled over the city.
I glanced at the diagrams on the passenger seat, determined to refine my theories.
I would prove Michael wrong.
I entered the lab, the hum of machinery and soft glow of monitors enveloping me.
Dr. Kim looked up from his workstation, nodding as I approached.
I spread the diagrams across the table, pointing out areas for refinement.
Dr. Kim adjusted his glasses, studying the equations intently.
We discussed potential adjustments to the wormhole theory, sketching new models on a digital board.
I noted his suggestions, feeling a surge of optimism.
As we worked, I carefully recorded our progress, determined to solidify our research.
I approached Dr. Kim in the lab, diagrams in hand.
"Dr. Kim, I have a new experiment to propose."
He looked up from his workstation, his eyes curious.
"What is it?"
I unfolded the diagrams, revealing the latest wormhole model.
"We’ve been simulating wormhole conditions in a vacuum chamber, but I believe we can do better."
Dr. Kim leaned forward, his interest piqued.
"How?"
"We can simulate the conditions of interstellar travel."
I pointed to the diagrams.
"By using a high-speed rail system and a vacuum chamber, we can create a more realistic environment for testing our wormhole model."
Dr. Kim nodded thoughtfully.
"That’s an interesting idea."
He studied the diagrams more closely.
"How would it work?"
I explained the setup in detail, from the rail system to the vacuum chamber.
Dr. Kim listened intently, occasionally nodding as he reviewed the diagrams.
When I finished, he asked several questions, his mind already racing with possibilities.
After a few minutes of discussion, Dr. Kim suggested a few adjustments to the experimental parameters.
I jotted down his suggestions, refining the plan accordingly.
We spent the next hour finalizing the details, discussing potential outcomes and necessary equipment.
As we worked, I adjusted the digital model on the board, incorporating Dr. Kim’s suggestions.
Finally, we were satisfied with the updated experiment plan.
I sifted through Dr. Kim’s notes in the lab, searching for any clues to refine our wormhole experiment.
As I flipped through the pages, a hidden equation caught my eye.
I traced the symbols with my finger, recognizing their potential to revolutionize our theory.
Grabbing a digital pen, I began transcribing the equation onto our model, adjusting parameters to see its impact.
Dr. Kim approached, his curiosity piqued by my intense focus.
"What have you found?"
I showed him the equation, explaining its significance.
He nodded, impressed by the discovery.
"This could be the key to stabilizing the wormhole."
He leaned in, studying the updated model.
"How does it affect our energy requirements?"
I pointed to the adjusted parameters.
"With this equation, we can reduce our energy needs by nearly half."
Dr. Kim’s eyes widened.
"That’s incredible. How does it impact stability?"
I ran a simulation, demonstrating the equation’s effect.
"The wormhole remains stable for longer periods, allowing for smoother transitions."
Dr. Kim nodded, his mind racing with possibilities.
"We need to run more simulations to test this theory further."
I saved the updated model, locking eyes with Dr. Kim.
"We’re on the verge of something groundbreaking."
Dr. Kim leaned back, a rare smile breaking through his usual seriousness.
"This could change everything we know about interstellar travel."
I nodded, feeling the weight of our discovery.
I set up the lab's simulation equipment, adjusting the parameters to reflect the new equation.
Dr. Kim watched intently as I initiated the first test, his eyes fixed on the digital display.
The machine hummed to life, and I monitored the data closely, noting the energy levels and wormhole stability.
As the simulation progressed, I observed smoother transitions and reduced energy consumption, just as predicted.
Dr. Kim nodded approvingly, jotting down notes.
I ran another test, refining the settings slightly.
Each simulation confirmed the equation's potential, bringing us closer to validating our breakthrough.
Dr. Kim approached me, his expression thoughtful.
"We need to run more simulations to ensure this equation holds up under various conditions."
I nodded in agreement.
"Agreed. Let’s adjust the parameters further and see how it affects the wormhole’s stability."
Dr. Kim nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"This could be it. This could be the key to making interstellar travel a reality."
I smiled, feeling a surge of anticipation.
"Let’s get back to work then."
I adjusted the simulation settings as Dr. Kim monitored the energy levels.
Suddenly, alarms blared, signaling a destabilization in the wormhole.
I rushed to the control panel, frantically trying to stabilize the experiment.
Dr. Kim shouted instructions, his voice tense.
I toggled switches and adjusted dials, watching the monitors as the wormhole fluctuated wildly.
The lab vibrated with the strain, equipment rattling on the shelves.
I focused on the readings, my hands steady despite the chaos.
Dr. Kim moved to help, his face set in concentration.
"Can you isolate the anomaly?"
Dr. Kim shouted over the noise, urgency in his voice.
"I'm trying, but it's like the equation's reacting to something unexpected," I replied, my fingers flying over the controls.
