STATE COLLEGE, Jan 7 -- The Applied Physics Department of Penn State, in conjunction with scientists from Rising Sun, the TL7 USSR, the Hive, Technomage refugees from the Technosphere Star Ship Daedalus, and others, have figured out a way to detect potential time travel events.
"This could be the key to at least slowing the rate of decay predicted by the Grimes Effect," said Dr. Andrew Halloway, formerly of the Thread Physics department at Berkeley. "Time travel events make local spacetime more fragile, accelerating the Grimes Effect."
The Hive is manufacturing tachyon detection devices to issue to the ITF Joint Expidentionary Team to detect potential time travel events as part of the JET's ITF-mandated mission to stop the Grimes Effect.
"By observing the amount of tachyons in an area, we can predict when and where a time travel event is likely to happen," said Dr. Gerry Santorino of the Penn State Department of Applied Physics. "A moderate amount of tachyons could mean time travel or a local gate cluster, while a high amount means time travel in all likelyhood."
"It is possible to detect the tachyons from an event and yet still prevent that future event without paradox," commented Bach-2389A24A, a Scientist-caste Hiver associated with Team B of the Joint Expeditionary Team and the designer of the tachyon detection device. "This is because under our current model of time travel, multiple potential futures can affect the present, while our actions eventually eliminate some of those potential futures."
