Engage FTL drive


"A pillar of physics - that nothing can go faster than the speed of light - appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert Einstein's theories.
Scientists at the world's largest physics lab said today (NZ time) they have clocked neutrinos travelling faster than light. That's something that according to Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity - the famous E (equals) mc2 equation - just doesn't happen..."
The rest of this story here.
In my opinion, this is the greatest discovery of the century (at least, so far!)

You do have to wonder...

... how some types manage to log onto a computer, download a book and write a shitty review, when they lack the brainpower to notice the blindingly obvious.

One craphead complains that 'I can't see why they traveled to the 9th century'

Never mind that the blurb on the website states- ‘Meddlers in Time’ explores the shaping of a parallel earth, by altering events in 9th century England.'

Back to your comic books and Spongebob DVD's!

I like this chap!

Review by: Richard Christopher on May. 31, 2011 : star star star star
Time travel/alternate history somewhat in the 'Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court' (or' Crosstime Engineer') vein. Reads like the Mission Diary it's framed as - the writing is promising journeyman work - but for a REALLY interesting mission. The main characters are pretty bloody minded - nukeing a medieval city to get rid of maybe 5% of the population would take a thicker skin than mine, for example. Heinlein's 'Time Enough For Love' is referenced, staying just this side of the homage/fanfic line. Was surprised to find this one offered for free - it's worth paying for. There is certainly worse out there from major publishers. The author might - if he hasn't already - consider submitting to Baen Books, which has published a deal of similarly themed work.

Future project

A discussion about WW2 lead to the idea that two teams of Meddlers in Time could havc been operating during WW2.

One boosting technology (pro Germany)

One other interfering in politics (anti-Germany)

What one would be my team and why...
