Her "time" was
up. The last rays of light where heard in the horizon. Silence would
be her companion until the next ripple... where she hoped she would
find the solution to the mystery...
But lets start from the
beginning.
(her name is not audible
in our hearing field) was a famous scientist in her parts of the
cosmos. Her race didn't live on a planet. What we call planets, to
their scientist was simply a symphony of super-strings. She didn't
see them, but she heard them. Her perception, as all of her kind's,
exceeded the limits of four dimensional space we call universe.
Having grown up knowing
details about the 21 existing dimensions, it was difficult for her to
comprehend what her instruments showed. Linear, four dimensional
beings, made out of a few notes, some trillion of them, had changed
the symphony that came from what they called Terra. Changing her
viewing angle she noticed that their evolution was not what someone
would expect for such a limited species. Their perception seemed to
reach up to the theory of her plain of existence. She had to share
it...
Her colleagues watched (or
rather sensed with 7 unknown to us senses) the evolution our heroin
presented to them. Some where plain speechless, others refused to
even consider her conclusion. Two of her colleagues however showed
great interest and started studying those creatures with her. They
followed their linear evolution backwards until they fell out of
their perception limits. Then they followed the opposite path through
the 5 known time dimensions and saw that, in each, their evolution
was accelerated with a pace never seen before by their kind.
Until now, their species
was the only one that survived the ripples. Although they couldn't
pass from one to the next immediately, being closed inside by a wall
they could move anywhere or anytime (as the linear four dimensional
creatures would say) in it and only accepting the end of one ripple
could they move to the next.
Towards the end of the
current ripple they noticed that the evolution of he linear creatures
they now called Terrans, allowed them to pass through the wall of a
ripple in any direction, something they themselves couldn't do. How
was this possible? If this was really happening then the 22nd
dimension that could stop confining them in the study of just one
ripple, could be possible. The middle space would be accessible too!
With further study they
observed that the Terrans had constructed a mathematical entity
around their source of energy. A "sphere" as they
themselves called it. Inside this sphere they had constructed a large
group of small items (small compared to the observers) that could fit
billions of their kind. The energy emanating from those items was the
key. They would learn that soon enough, although not without some
cost to themselves.
