I wonder if you were intending to time travel how far back you could go, and still be covered for the majority of diseases with today's vaccinations. #medicine#science#timetravel
The initial prototype was a plusgood success. At least it disappeared and never reappeared with no trace elements. The thoughtwise conclusion was that it made it to another space-time location.
It was, in basic terms, a device to doubleplus focus the user's interpolation of this moment allowing them to think of any moment, folding the particle wave into that result.
The Chronomech did not doubleplus undo entropy, it resultwise ignored it entirely.
Later models were able to focus larger areas that also encompassed the user.

@MissFukurobookstodon group currently on the Overdrive/Libby waitinglist for book 2. :-) My favourite British timetravel person also likes tea and is a woman*, but she uses a capsule that looks like a police box ;-)
My latest read: "One Day All This Will Be Yours" by Adrian Tchaikovsky - See my Goodreads review for details but if you enjoy time-travel stories, or even if you don't, this one's worth a look!
Consequences of Time Travel: Beyond the Obvious Paradoxes by Lucan Merrian, 2025
The allure of time travel—an age-old fascination—remains one of the most powerful concepts in science fiction and speculative thought. It is the ultimate what-if. What if you could return to a pivotal moment in history and alter its outcome? What if you could leap into the distant future to witness the fate of humanity or catch a glimpse of your own destiny?
The concept is as tantalizing as it is terrifying. For many, time travel represents the possibility of correcting past regrets, reclaiming lost moments, or glimpsing the unknown. But embedded within that dream is a web of profound complexity.
Popular media has long been obsessed with the paradoxes of time travel—the grandfather paradox, the bootstrap paradox, the butterfly effect—each raising fascinating and often frustrating philosophical dilemmas. These narrative devices have helped define our understanding of what could go wrong if humans tampered with the temporal fabric. But in focusing so heavily on these dramatic, headline-grabbing conflicts, we have often ignored a deeper, more unsettling truth: that the consequences of time travel may not always be loud, explosive, or paradoxical. Some may be subtle, cumulative, and utterly irreversible.
Imagine time not as a linear thread, but as a vast, interconnected web, where each strand supports countless others. A single shift—a plucked string—sends vibrations in all directions. A small nudge backward or forward in time, even one done with.
On The Calculation of Volume: I. By Solvej Balle (trans Barbara Haveland).
You are a dealer in old books, living in small town France, when one day in mid November you wake up and it’s the same day as yesterday for you (and only you), then that keeps happening and though your husband believes you, you tire of explaining it all…and each day you realize you are more alone.

@TiffanyEAuthor@lgbtqbookstodonbookstodon group@sapphicbooks They're very good. A bit information-dense, but I like that, and the writing is always good. I love the way that so many of the main characters are nice (very Becky Chambers, in other words).
