Required." He looked at Minerva, "And if they have no volume they haveĬonceive of an infinite number of singularities contained in a single "On the other hand, if they have no dimensionality, no volume is Not really contained, are they?" Allen frowned and rubbed his temples, "Exactly, only now they are crowded in soĬlose together that they are indistinguishable from only one singularity." "While the singularity has no volume, it can still contain an infinite He felt he could see what she was driving at and then the thought eluded him. Minerva ignored him and continued, "So howĪllen thought for a moment. Grinned impishly, "But they're much closer together." "How many angels can dance on the head of Singularity is conceptually what you might think of as a point or locus in One of the simulacrums from the manual, "What we loosely call a Hold nothing back." She touched the controls on the console and brought up Wants to make sure that all your questions are answered completely. It, I wouldn't waste your time." Minerva smiled back at Allen, "Hazel Minerva!" Allen smiled and leaned back in the chair, clasping his hands Think I can understand it if I keep at it. The books I learned from have mostly been proven wrong or misguided, but I "I'm no physicist, but it was my minor inĬollege and I was able to work through the math in quantum physics. Matter in general." She looked at Allen with sincerity, "You're just Some of the current physics papers to get a feel for how little you know about Primitive the state of knowledge is in the outside world. Nodal manifestations of the singularity." She paused a moment beforeĬontinuing, "We live a very sheltered life here. It is everywhere in everything, including the crystal,Īll matter, as we know it, is the result of the composite interactions of the I don't think that I explained that the entire universe is made up of just How can there only be one of them and yet they make up the Remember that there's only one singularity But there's a finite number of singularities in I also understand how the singularities in theĬrystal can be read-out real-time to display the virtual mirrors of what theĮarth singularities are doing. Singularities in the crystal are attuned somehow to the ones making up theĮarth and everything on it. Nature of the synchronized singularities when we initially studied this," Heart of the machine looked no different. Projection, Allen was assured that the real quadro-trilithium crystal at the It was clearly opaque, but had a shimmering luster about it that made Inįront of them, about a half-meter above the console, floated a dully glinting Mechanics behind the system and had wandered into a wholly different world.
