A machine used to send criminals on a one-way trip into the past. One of its inventors, Sam, wrongly accused of murder. Will his creation become his undoing?
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.”
Sam laughed. “Frankly, I thought we were finished. We’d spent billions to build a machine that was of no use for anything I could imagine – I mean, what good is sending items to the past in an alternate universe?”
Sam paused. “But Dani saw what none of the rest of us could: she saw the potential to use Absolom for prisons, to exile the worst of humanity and make the world a better place. That day, she destroyed the original business plan, and all documents related to shipping. Everyone at the company was under an NDA, and it was a very secretive place to work. Actually, very few even knew what we were working on in the first place – at least, what it was supposed to be used for. I think half the staff probably thought it was a new form of energy generation, a replacement to nuclear power. Some thought it was a new weapon.”
“So Dani sold it to the world?”
“She did. It all happened so fast. Absolom Sciences transformed from a secretive start-up to this purpose-built city in the desert that changed the world.”
