When the Large Hadron Collider at CERN initiates a groundbreaking high-energy experiment, a subterranean pulse tears through the fabric of reality. Across the globe, human collective memory violently desynchronizes-monuments shift, historical outcomes rewrite themselves overnight, and the steady beat of universal time grinds to a sudden, shattering halt. Deep within the rift, a disgraced physicist and a gifted astral traveler uncover a terrifying truth: time hasn't merely stopped; it is actively fracturing into overlapping parallel dimensions. As cosmic anomalies manifest-from temporal dead zones to bleeding multiverse corridors-they must navigate astral planes and unstable time rifts to trace the signal back to its source. With every passing second threatening to erase entire timelines into the void of the Mandela Effect, they race against an impending reality collapse to restart the universe before their timeline vanishes forever.
