The Eye of Orion

“Long ago, there was once a land not unlike ours. After the sundering of dear world, our night sky changed forever”

Prologue 1

How do you make an egg?

You cook it

Obviously but like what temperature and for how long?

Until the runny part looks white and is no longer runny

Okay, what about the yellow part?

What about the yellow part?

How do I cook that?

Well, the clear stuff first turns white, and if you look at the yellow liquid there, you might still see some runny clear parts. This is where you can chose how to make your egg

What do you mean?

You wanted to make an egg, as in cook it. You have done it now. 

But I don’t like it.

Okay, can I help you with that?

Why would you want to?

Well, if you add some salt or pepper it might make the egg taste better.

No, i don’t like the runny yellow part of the egg, can I make the yellow stuff a different color?

In a way yes, if you cook the egg for long enough eventually there will be a white layering over even the yellow part.

Really?

Yeah…

So what do I do next?

Well, how do you like your eggs?

I like them cooked

Okay, well you are in the middle of cooking and the best part of cooking an egg is that you can be done at any time.

What do you mean by that?

I mean as I say, once the clear stuff becomes white and then you start to see the clearer parts towards the yellow part get more and more cooked, you have made your first egg. Some people call that Sunny Side Up

But I don’t like that

What don’t you like?

That there. 

Okay, I see that you are pointing to the egg, what don’t you like about it

It’s smoking

I see that too

Aren’t you going to do something about that?

No, are you?

No.

Did you coat the pan in oil before I started to cook?

No, I didn’t know you were cooking, you asked me How to make an egg and I have been trying to explain this to you in the most simplest of terms.

Do you think that I am an idiot?

No

Then why are you talking to me as one

Well, you asked me how to make an egg and I did not respond, well first you must invent the universe. So I decided to start from have an egg, apply heat and check to see what the clear and yellow liquids are doing.

There is a burn mark on the egg shell

Okay, thanks for telling me

It’s still smoking and now liquid is coming out

Wait, did you crack the egg before you put it in the pan?

No, did you?

No.

Oops.

Did we do it again?

Yes

Oh darn,

I know

I know you know

Look, i know that you know that I know that you know that to make an egg you gotta break it first

Wait, no. How do you break an egg?

You drop it from a height

Is there another way to do it?

Yes

Can you show me?

Yes

When?

Whenever

Okay, so not now?

No,

When then?

I said not now, later

What do you mean by later?

After the present time

Which is now

Don’t do this to me

Don’t do what to you

You know what you are doing

No, I don’t

Yes, you do

No, I don’t

Look, there is something wrong with your brain and we are trying to contact you

Yes, i see that. I am talking with you now

But we are trying to get you to make an egg

I see that and I can respond in anyway you like

So how do you make an egg, greg?

You go buy one at the store first

No, greg.

You have a chicken lay it

Not even close

Okay, ummm, to make an egg for eating from a chicken (and I will assume that you want to eat it) I have to first ask:

How do you like ‘dem’ eggs?

Thats better…

Wait, so you weren’t actually asking me for information you just wanted to see what i’d say next?

Yes, but what if we added a third person to this conversation?

What do you mean?

Exactly as they say?

Wait, who is they?

They are them

Who?

You

No, you must be singular. You are using one finger to point at me

No, I am me and you are you

Okay, and, what exactly are you trying to say?

Im not sure now…

Okay so you have been trying to communicate to me, you want to know how to make an egg. Can we start with what do you mean by make?

I mean to say that make isn’t the right word. How about instead I ask, how does a chicken make an egg?

Okay, this is a different topic all together

What do you mean? I never changed the subject

Yes you did.

No I didn’t

Okay let’s back track. How do you make an egg?

Well, I am a male so I cannot… so let’s talk about the female reproductive system

No, eww I don’t want to talk about that.

You do know Chickens are females right

Yeah

And they lay eggs?

Yeah

Soooo, you asked me how does a chicken make an egg? And I will say now that it’s inside the chicken and the chicken sits down and when the chicken sits up there is an egg under there

So is that how you make an egg?

Not me, but a chicken… yes, in so many words..

Can you explain it further?

I don’t wait to

Please?

How deep do you want me to explain?

As deep as possible don’t hold anything back..

Okay here i go…

Chapter 1

Hello?

What?

I heard something….

I just did too…

Who is making a sound after I make a sound…

I am, who are you?

I don’t know, I just said Hello, I can’t see you, it’s so dark in here

That’s strange, I can’t see you either, all I see is light….

…….

It was at this moment dear reader than the universe came into existence as we know it. We have found our first entity saying hello and our next one saying What. The hello there is a greeting to announce one’s presence and to also call out for a response. A hello is an invitation to a response. 

The first entity says I heard something. Knowing that it sees something it can now hear something and it does not know if its associated with what it is seeing

The second entity recognizes that the first entity said something after it said something. The definition of the word said it not write. Regardless, The “I just did too..” the second entity realizes that it (1) can communicate with the first entity and (2) that the entity can ask a question and answer it itself. Hello? I heard something. Is still a complete sentence but now it has different context. Did the first entity hear the second entity then?

Or, what followed after the “Who is making a sound after I make a sound” the defining of Who, as in to say what is different from me making a sound but also a sound that i make. I did not make that sound but i heard that sound so i must have made that sound. The sound was there I heard it to. Hello? Wait, what was that? I heard it I must have. I know this to be true. Okay. I just did it too. I hear an echo so what wall is making that sound again after I make a sound. Let’s see here…. Ah right there. Hello spot on the wall. Am I a spot on the wall? Well you are part of this wall that I see. Oh? Yes you are. Oh? Who are you? I don’t know, I just said Hello, I can’t see you, it’s so dark in here. That’s strange, I can’t see you either, what is light? Is that what you see? Should I call that darkness instead? Well, no not really. See Light is the Absence of Darkness. But that first entity saying its so dark in here. And the second entity saying all they can see is light. Does that mean that the first one is all light and cannot look at it’s self? Or is this first thing only able to see the other, the second one, that which was defined as the opposite of dark. So the first entity sees darkness all around and is alone and scared

The second entity sees only light and feels warmly that its not alone and can talk anytime, or if it stopped talking it can still bask in the radiance of the rainbow emitting everywhere around itself. The second entity does not have to talk because the first one is always trying to fill the darkness with more music. 

They say that the last change in this universal timeline kills the knot at the end. So as to say, the heat death of the universe will happen, has happened and will continue to happen. Think of the gravity wells around our local group. Time slows down when you get closer to the center of mass. For something large, it will stretch time a lot. One could experience a time near a massive object and be in communication with another from outside the gravity well. The thing towards the outside experiences time much much faser than the one closest to the center of mass. The time change can be so drastic that the difference of 30 miles from the surface is 10x time travel. What if you had the densest object known on this timeline and stood at the surface of it? Could you then watch the rest of the timeline plan out? Or could you go looking for gravity isn’t? The void, the voice, the void. It is where time has been so speed up, you would then experience the rest of the timeline slow down. You could, in effect, go into the void..

Wait

And then come back

And then…

Chapter Two

Sitting here alone in this void, one has to ask. How did I get here? Why do I have to watch this unfold? Well, I found the beginning and now I need to just wait it out. Literally can’t go back in time anymore. Had to go to the beginning where it started. Like again.. Jeez, i hate saying that word but this is urgency and I am literally going to die from boredom as I wait for my family’s current local time. 

See.. the thing is. I can’t go back in time anymore. I used to be able to but now I can only go forward. Don’t get me wrong, I can speed it up however fast I want. I can even speed it up so much, I literally hit the wall. And after crawling up that wall and going over the top can I find the beginning again. 

Something weird did happen though. On my first try, I hit this literal wall and crashed through it. It was silent and peaceful. My hands on the dials and the controls and I saw time stop. Not move forward, or back, sideways or upways. But stop. It felt like a lifetime, maybe it actually was. It felt like a moment, but I experienced something the moment time stoped. It was barely a fraction of time. In fact, I question that it ever happened. One moment everything was going right, then everything wrong, then silence, then everything wrong and then finally where I am now. Im good. Just can’t break through that wall again. I have gone over the wall three times now. And they say that three times is the charm. But I’m running out of fuel and this might be my second to last chance to find what is tangent to this universe. No stress. I have one more chance and have access to manage my time. If I have two chances, then I have forever. Just don’t take the first chance and maybe I will learn something that I didn’t before.

Chapter Three

How to create the universe, again

Universe is

Thing in universe

Thing time drags across a gravity well

Thing slows its time down to almost zero but never zero

Thing breaks a wall

Thing speeds up its own time to almost infinite but never all the way through the wall

Universe in thing

Is Thing

So, I wrote that one day out in the sand dunes. I didn’t think much of it but it inspired this ship you see before you. It’s a powerpoint slide, I know. The math checks out. Well, not the math. The logic. Why is there a speed limit? What is this wall that we keep running into? Honestly, I think its the death of the universe. We can’t outrun the time arrow and there will be an end. But what if you could climb up that wall. Not forever pushing it against nothing but sliding across it by applying pressure. If gravity is pulling, and we are pushing against time. If we push back, there will come a point where a very fast object cannot speed up anymore no matter how much energy is used within the universe. It’s gravity fighting time. The stretch and war of our timeline. We live in a timeline not a universe. I have now said this to you four times now and we still keep doing something wrong and I intend to find it. But that is neither hear nor there. Anyway, this thing does not exist yet. And we need help to create the thing. 

So, Miss.. uhhh… this is all well and good. The presentation looks great, and you really got our attention. And let me just say this now, Im probably not the only one here in this room who is very impressed with the work you have done here. 

But Im not done. I have a few more slides with equations and some rough sketches. I just need to talk to…..

Let me stop you right there, if you can please me here… we are a multi national company, do you know what that means? Of course you do, you aren’t stupid. We are big you see, lots of people work for us. And, what you are describing is something out of a children’s book. You are mixing poetry and math and expecting us to believe you. Where are your years of training? Who taught you? Where are you going to get the money to get a ride home? Let me do you a favor, can we step outside into my office…

Chapter 4

Not here

Where are you taking me?

Stop talking

Follow me

Who is leading who here?

I am, follow me

No

I really need you to

No, not until you tell me why you are taking me someone alone. I mean somewhere alone?

Because you just said that

Yes you did. You said Why are you taking me; someone alone?

No i didn’t, I said I mean somewhere alone

You want to go somewhere alone

No

Okay, then why are we out here now

You asked me to step outside into your office

Yes, again

Yes, and?

No, we are outside the presentation room and i want to take you to your office

Huh?

Yeah, please follow me up these stairs. Its not far

Oh, yeah, sure okay. Does this mean that I have the job?

Follow me. Yes, you have a job. But not doing what you think you are doing or what you are about to do. 

What’s your name anyway? 

You’ll remember me

I do, we talked over the phone the other day.

No, I mean. Like remember remember me. 

Okay, you are me now. And you want to remember me

Yes
