Launch
my satellite
into star-field
starburst substrata;

A supernova

Flowering
in the silence
stretched thin between
distant Earths
along the super-string.

I am the collapse
both before and thereafter,
caught in moments
compressed in tunnels

By Krasnikov.

First piece of literature for a while; I had been all out of inspiration. This is, essentially, about both superluminal travel and pensive hindsight. Alter the ratio of each as necessary.

This is a probable candidate for future revision.

Serguei Krasnikov is a proponent of his self-named space-travel tunnels for faster-than-light motion. However, in the case of more than one such tunnel these short-cuts would become time machines and causality & vacuum fluctuation would remove them from existence entirely.

Theoretical cosmology can be more exciting than one would first assume.

Reading this, all I can think about is that twisty :/ feeling I get when I've put something off for long enough that it's turned into lead in my stomach/heart/mind. It grows and stretches and seems like an endless, endless loop.

Nicely done.

(This, shamefully, seems to be the first of your lit devs of this project that I'm commenting on.)
