On 24th October 2009 scientists working at the Large Hedron Collider in Geneva will attempt to create a temporary ‘wormhole’ (also known as an ‘Einstein-Rosen Bridge’) which will, for the first time in history, enable human beings from different points in the space-time continuum to communicate directly through a narrow band-width television link up.
In essence a wormhole is a shortcut through time and space and, whilst the theory of how to create them is not new, the technology capable of initiating and sustaining a usable connection has not been available until recently.
Unlike the wormholes featured in such fictional works as ‘Stargate’, ‘Contact’ and ‘Donnie Darko’, the types of ‘Einstein-Rosen bridges’ which scientists are able to produce in reality are not wide enough to accommodate human travelers as they are only a few microns wide. They are, however, able to house narrow band-width data streams such as those used by ‘Freeview’ television transmitters.
In the past twelve months three pre-recorded transmissions have been sent by scientists through nano-durational wormholes in a bid to communicate with human beings existing on distant points of the continuum. Whilst the first attempt is thought to have failed due to a prematurely collapsed connection, the second appears to have prompted a response from, seemingly, intelligent life from the year 2069.
In order to create a wormhole capable of being sustained for anything more than one or two nano-seconds, the connection would need to be initiated from both sides of the intended link up. To this end, on July 17th 2009, scientists sent a third transmission suggesting a time-space bridge to take place on 24th October 2009 (longitude 37.771008, latitude 122.41175 – aka West Street, Brighton.UK) at precisely 9pm. The transmission will coincide with Brighton’s ‘White Night’ event and will hopefully continue through the night until 6am.
If the project is successful it will result in the first ever real time communication between human beings existing on different points in the space-time continuum and will constitute the most ostentatious foray into space-time exploration since the Apollo missions of the early 1970s.
