Dear Barry, Thanks very much for the opportunity to submit to the digest of time-travel abstracts. You’ll probably be surprised to see that my document is 450 pages long. I know you requested papers no more than fifteen thousand words, but I think once you begin to read it, you’ll see that I needed to get this all down as best I can so that none of it is lost. I’ve excerpted the entire document at the end, but I hope you’ll see fit to publish the whole thing. My paper includes full diagrams and equation models for the B3 Trans-temporal Drive that controlled my module, named for the three scientists instrumental in its development. I’ve got Caltech lab’s permission for its publication. (See copyright notices on the title page of my paper.) In space travel, similar technology creates a wormhole effect large enough for a small solid body to pass beneath the fabric of space, but it occasionally bypasses time as well, creating short jumps into the future or past. This variation of the B3 takes advantage of the temporal anomaly. In other words, the side effect is the one we wanted. . . .
