Excerpt: "Dystopic of the Prodigious" from THE PRAXIS CONTIUUM (A.Glass 2018)





 "Master Daevian smiles, not directly answering Collas's sarcastic question. "...We do not believe they are dreams. Rather, they are tuned pathways to the multi-parallel Universes that we all reside in, the time differentials are only, from our estimates, in real time.  They are not extended thoughts into, as I mentioned, futures."
"You know I am a man of science..." Professor Collas says leaning back into his mid 21st Century style chair.
"And the Locus Aether also believe in the sciences, the Universe and its physics...You are aware of this, for the many times that we have spoken over the years."
"Yes, and for those many years you have been an astute and dedicated student."
Master Daevian nods in a respectful manner. "We Aetheriums believe that information is lost within the cosmos, more particularly the information paradox of a Black Hole.  Nothing is retained.  We come from nothing and go to nothing. I have been troubled by this of late."
"My colleague, the person who I toasted this drink too earlier, Professor Ian Niemstein, tried, with I, too solve the paradox that you have described. Thought to be resolved by the late and great physicist Janet Plawker, who, before she died over very sixty five years ago.  Historically also became the first person to be almost completely cyborg after her crippling muscle degeneration..." Professor Collas stares into his cup, looking at the remnants of the scotch whiskey, he then looks at Master Daevian. "...In relativity, information is neither stored nor lost"
