Goodbye "Minerva" - the last days before the beginning...-

a fantastic novel - >Danielle Grandhomme

The first days it was great... the sun was above us and the fresh air surrounded our bodies; it was too late to go back. The catastrophis had begun, said George, it's time for us to leave the port...
Yes, it's time..., answered Nicole whispering the few words while she was absorbed by the magic atmosphere, I'll try to get to the Fundation, in order to fix the plan.
All right, dear, but don't be too late... the sun is approaching too fast.
Just three of us, together on this anonymous rock. The helicopter was down the valley, but we couldn't go to it anymore, of course; the water of the river had overflown and was swallowing the remaining camp site structures. "Minerva" it had been called... now there was no more of it. Twenty years of research destroyed in few days.
Twenty years of research destroyed in few days.
Twenty years... it sounds such a long flow of time, and even is just a glipmse from our past days... Nabeel, the local coordinator, from Lahore, had accepted us very warmly, as every one did. Of course they had to, because we were looking to find an issue to the next water avalanche we were expecting... some thirty years, or more. his large conceptual glasses enlarged his deep eyes, and the smile was thus brighter.
Goodevening, sirs, said Nabeel, introducing us into his working world. My bureau is a bit messy, but, you know, I do not have much time to clean it up, and my sister is on vacation, these days...
It wasn't really messy... it was... cahotic, yes: the centre of creative mind, everything could be reached and visible from his computer place, but it was all stacked in an apparent mound, hard to be detected from outside.
He took off some books and blankets from the chairs near the wall; please sit down, I'll bring you a nice tea.
Waiting for the tea to come, Nicole and I wandered our eyes round the room...There were on the wall some posters of his hometown, Lahore. "Shahi Mahjid" an imposing and elegant building in a night view, reminded me the magical atmosphere of Pakistan, half indian and half persian in its elegant and popular charming attitude. Far deepened in the mysteries of the past, but still already here to be lived in its sounds and perfumes.
Here is the tea, said Nabeel entering the room with a fuming "plateau" with small glasses and a long traditional teapot. Sorry, it's not all complete service, but Generally I have no time to it... by the way, all our tea comes from Kenya... which proves we are all brothers in the world. he laughed with us while i was already sipping this hot and harmonious drink.
Well, the Fundation wants some results of local researches,as I know from the mails Dr.Whang sent to the University center. You know, I just coordinate the work, and really do not know what the internationl group is searching... and moreover i don't want to use my time on that. sorry to sound rude, but my personal studies are a bit dfferent, you know. Litterature and phylosophy is my world.
Nicole smiled, sure we know, professor Nabeel, you published hundreds of books in just five years! You are amazing.
Really, I just digg in our traditions, and carry out a complete anthology of poems and ancient stories almost lost in our days... Facebook takes a lot of our time, and...(he laughed) mine too, because I like it; but i can manage to use the rest of the day to search and write.
Who shall we meet then to go on with our researches?
I'll let you know later; this person is a real master of knowledge, with plenty of strange ideas... I'll call a cab to bring you to the hotel. Just for today: tomorrowyou'll go to the campsite.
"Minerva" is it?
Yes, Minerva. But don't ask me why this name... too many people ask me, but still I don't know!
We all laughed together in a friendly enchanted atmosphere.

"We're going home together" shouts george from the top of the hill; Nicole nods her head but cannot smile...
- the rain begins to pour down, again... another wet day
-We'll have plenty, Nicole, I answer her.
-yes, I forgot... I'm still not used to this weather... not here!
-Ok, but at least the clouds protect us from the sun... just for a while.
-I'ts amazing how quickly the clouds form, gather and rain off... they seem to come from nowhere, and suddenly, we're all wet.
-Like in Ireland- I reply
we both laugh
-yes... Ireland... so far away
-Where have you put the irish book of Kyteler's treasure? no one must get it. It's too early.
-Sure, the corporates will want to use it for commerce
-And war...
-Yes... another book to disappear. What else could we do?
-Poor Petronilla ,she was the first Irish woman to be burned at the stake for the crime of heresy. She served as a maid to Lady Alice Kyteler, a real alchemist and still one of the earliest women to be accused of witchcraft.

-Yes, answered Nicole...In Kilkenny, Ireland ... 1324. And poor Lady Alice Kyteler, along with her son and ten others,she became one of the earliest targets of witchcraft accusations, centuries before the more famous rash of witch trials in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
-Bastards...To extract her confession, the bishop ordered the torture of Lady Alice's maid and confidante, Petronilla who claimed that she and her mistress applied a magical ointment to a wooden beam, which enabled both women to fly. She was then forced to proclaim publicly that Lady Alice and her followers were guilty of witchcraft.

-Well...witches... they DID fly, finally..., but not on wood! And not a carpet... a real model of aircraft... just few meters, but still it was not levitation, but propulsion!
we both laugh.
-So, the celtic runes we found on the petroglyphs in Iran, were a bit a strange coincidence!
-Sure... we made that stone disappear just in time! is it still in the Minerva caves?
-No one can find them... the caves are so deep and widespread... a true Labirynth, and no mythical Arianna is now here to find the way out! They are all locked in the walls, strongly stoned.
-Which gallery did we use?
-The one that connects us to Kariz, in Iran
-A long way to find it then! Almost safe.

What is…TIME ?

My answers to the topic "Can you name an immovable force that is an unstoppable object?"

As we all know now, universe is not 3D, but has at least 11 dimensions, most of them unseen by us humans, but lightly felt by our evolutionary equipments. One of this dimension, just according to me, cannot be time, for TIME is the texture of all the universe, not the force... effectively, every object has its own time... we are the weakest objects, and aware of our existence, and the risk of death brings us to move "quicker" than other beings, that don't care at all about time...
Time, thus, is transparent, ealstic, and adapted to anyone, but resented differently according to our momentary situations... one minute at the dentist is effectively longer than a night dancng!
Time is in our minds, and it helps our brain to control the evolution of our life, and the evolution of all what is around us, that might "touch" us...
as well as universe itself!

Timing is very diffferent from TIME... that's the force of this entity no-named by any other being, apart from us humans... we have obliged ourselves to be perfect to TIME, which may be a highspeed highway with different levels of speed, according to our situations; it occupies all universe like the water, which may flow or not, but certainly move forward or backward underneath its surface film... it depends where we are...
Now we are bored to see the motionless activity of surface, and we want to dive into future destiny, imagining it wonderfully active, against our possible destruction caused by catclysms or whatever...
and we need time to be at our level, so we try to match with its flowing; but time has often abrupt movements backward, and an atomic clock just tells us "what we want it to be said"... I mean... all this timing, will effectively save us from wars? Maybe just temporarely.

When the expansion reaches a notable dimension, its propulsing energy literally slows down for it has to occupy much more "space" with the same force- this force is now not sufficient to propulse the matter at the starting speed because it is used to occupy such a wider multi-dymensional space during expansion...
Imagine fireworks... when they explode they occupy 3D space hundreds times the starting original space; when they reach a complete expansion, or rather just before it, they slow down since they stop; in that visual of situation universe (which is "alive", for theoretically no-one has ignited it so it self-ignited, so it was able to "act" by itself: it was thus "alive", like heart beat, and breathing) slows down: it has more TIME to employ in other uses (those that before were impossible because of all the highspeed transformations focused all on expansion). Uses, such as developing lives - according to the fractals theory- in all dimensions (from macro to micro).
So TIME is still the same, but as a consequence of the physical slowdown, there is an increase of TIME which seems to become more present, but it was always the same; we just "take our time" to BE and then, to BECOME...

You said right..."do I THINK",I just think, just suppose...
because I cannot have a clear idea of these interacting elements.. no one has yet!
We might give suggestions, and propose suppositions... we would need so much time before being able to answer and have surer thesis...
Well I just think they are so stricly linked and interacting that we cannot see the difference... bu I'm almost sure that TIME is an independent "support" (or dimension) of our universe that keeps it in contact with all the other universes, those that we have already spotted but not located yet.

As I told you... I have recently received the news that universe is not only one, there are thousands (it was a real surprise for me too!!) and that there aren't only 3 but alt least 11 dimensions (La théorie des Cordes)...
amazing, isn't it?
Scientific american has published articles on it, I read them through French edition lately (few months ago).
