Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen.' These famous words were written by Mark Twain in his autobiography to explain a remarkable coincidence that occurred in his life. A Polish undergrad in Chicago, Peter Sadowy, when he came across this saying, couldn't help but wonder if Twain had an understanding of the theory of the time quantum, especially after it was explained to him by its discoverer, Professor Harry Groh, and his research associate, Karen Butler, that the theory implied the existence of an infinite number of alternative timelines. Peter learned that just like Karen, he had an aptitude for entering the trances that disturbed the natural flow of time. Could he take advantage of that ability Researching in the college library, he became obsessed with the plethora of ghostly apparitions that had appeared in the front lines of World War I in Belgium and France. Were they anomalous temporal phenomena that had been triggered by the stress and the trauma of the fighting Would it be possible to take advantage of these disturbances to change the course of humanity Peter Sadowy resolved to sacrifice his life in the present to try to improve the lives of others in the past--particularly the lives of his ancestors in Poland who had suffered so terribly in and between the two World Wars. He came so close to achieving his goal, but remarkably, at the crucial moment, he failed. However, even more remarkably, his failure led to an alternative form of success that he had not anticipated. Post-war Europe was refreshed, and the future was rebuilt. Peter had proved that there is nothing that cannot happen. …

She faints.What do you do when your girlfriend says she's seen a ghost Brian Kenning is a physicist, so he decides to perform an experiment in the church to find out what she actually saw. He becomes the first person to truly uncover the mystery of ghosts and how their appearance is linked to historical events. His explanation involves a new theory about the quantized nature of time itself.But Brian and his colleagues pursue the truth too far, until the safety of all is threatened. The consequences of their later experiments are most mysterious, and it is left to Brian's brother, John, to uncover the truth and rue the day they ever discovered the time quantum.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - While clearing an attic, a young man discovers an old letter from one of his ancestors--a man who never knew his origins and asked his descendants to try to discover his roots. The young man, Tom Temporal, accepts the challenge. In so doing, Tom comes into contact with the scientists who had discovered the time quantum, a previously unknown concept linking different time periods.Investigating his ancestor's roots in nineteenth-century England, Tom not only uncovers disturbing remnants of his family's past but also revives connections with scientists who'd vanished from a nearby location the previous year. What had happened to them Where had they gone Karen Butler, now the preeminent theorist of temporality, sits with Tom on the back porch of her parents' Iowa farmhouse and reflects on the true nature of time and its frightening implications.…
