Lost in Time

by A.G. Riddle

People with nothing to lose were the most dangerous thing in the world.

“Relativity proved that gravity and energy are essentially manifestations of the same thing. In particular, both distort the curvature of space-time. Our breakthrough is that we could use increasingly large amounts of energy to modify gravity and distort space-time,

essentially causing a specific object to be displaced in space and time.”

“That’s right—that was our second discovery about time. If we used energy and

gravity to displace an object in space, it was also displaced in time. It was sent into the past. But the worst part was the final realization: that the act of transporting something with Absolom essentially branched our universe—it created an alternate timeline where the payload was deposited. This is consistent with the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which is the idea that we are constantly creating copies of our universe, even as we speak.”

That was the way of the world, he thought: you give it your all; sometimes it’s enough, sometimes it’s not, and sometimes, the tide carries you in.

That was the key to survival—doing better tomorrow than you did today. Getting up every day and improving.

“The past is the causal sequence of events that created our present.”

the present moment that you and I are experiencing now is the eventuality of a series of causal events.

lost in time.

The title is always buried somewhere in the book!

There was no single meaning of life—there was only the meaning of your life.

Life is about getting up. Not avoiding falling down.”

“It was all about how our perception of the world around us is shaped by our convictions, mental health, physical health, and environment.”

sometimes life gives you problems you can’t solve today. That’s what tomorrow is for. And that’s why you keep going.”
