In an alternate Europe where isolationism is enforced by towering walls and the world is
crumbling around them, a secret project aims to save the present by harvesting the past.
Only on the basis of his theoretical work and predictions did Folkert Jensma and Koos van
Laere the following year at the Christian Huygens Institute in the Hague prove the
existence of so-called time solitons, which Thilawuntha had predicted. These disturbances
traverse the flow of time in both directions, that is, they bring about with their
passage momentary damming and acceleration in the temporal dimension. They thereby deform
the structure of space-time, but are eo ipso not directly detectable by an observer
situated within this strugture—that is, within our universe. Their existence can,
however, be indirectly demonstrated, because their passage is accompanied by
gravitational waves of various strength.
