Towards the Farthest Side: A Collection Of Sci-Fi Short Stories And Novelettes

First Contact

According to the "String Theory" time extends from one point to another point, and as creatures bound in time, we have our own very selves living in points between this time span.

Let me dissect it for you. If you wake up at 6am and go to the sink to wash up and finish at 6:15 your other self is alive also in another timeline; your past self waking up at 6am, also another past self walking towards the sink, and another turning the faucet on to wash up. It is also possible that a future self has already finished washing up and is now preparing his bed at 6:35.

This is linear time. Weird right?

However, it gets weirder.

According to "String Theory" time doesn't only work linearly, like from point A to point B. Instead it extends to different directions, like a shrapnel from an exploding grenade.

It is possible then that your other self who woke up at 6am did a different thing. Instead of going to the sink he went back to sleep, or your future self diverge from what you are about to do and went to do other things.

Because of this astrophysicists believed that parallel universes exists, or what we call multiple universes, or Multiverse if you're a Marvel fan.

Another you is alive out there doing the same thing you do or perhaps doing something else. Maybe some of them are very identical to you, while some are very different in the way they think. Maybe some of your other selves are very rich and famous while some are notoriously dangerous, and also we can't ignore the possibility that some of them are already dead.

And here's the catch, according to astrophysicists these parallel universes can be accessed by breaking a hole through the fabric of space time using a very strong gravitational force similar to that of a black hole, by which you can then access the past and the future, even the divergent selves of you, that is if you happen to survive the entering of the portal.

This book that you are holding in your hand, or you are viewing through your phone will serve as a safe portal to the above mentioned parallel universes, it will serve as your time-machine to travel back in time or jump towards the future.

This book is a collection of short stories and novelettes I have written during my free time while being visited by aliens and psionically contacted by artificial intelligences. This is the result of my fascination with science fiction stories and studying the different science paradoxes since I first saw the moon down a telescope way back when I was an elementary student. Take note though that the stories you are about to read starts from the familiar sci-fi tropes and gets weirder as you read deeper through the pages until you get to the farthest side.

Hope you like this collection. See you in the farthest edges of our imagination.
