Einstein Rosen Bridge Opens in Zurich Media Lab
Wormhole to the turn of the century means your grandfather can read about you: before you were born!
Zurich, March 13 2050: Thirteen staff members from Zurich Intermedia were magnavaked to the Zurich International Hospital this morning and treated for various injuries related to the opening of an Einstein Rosen Bridge on the third floor of their Barnhofquai office.
"One of the workstations started sparking and everyone was gathered around watching it," Said Yuki Sakamoto, New Media Coordinator for ZI.
"A huge translucent bubble began to form and then it exploded; everyone was thrown against the walls," she said.
When the blast cleared an ER Bridge had formed around the workstation, preventing anyone from approaching closer than twenty metres. An ER Bridge, or wormhole as they are popularly known, is a curved-space structure that can join two distant regions of space-time through a tunnel-like curved spatial shortcut.
"The computer workstation appears still to be functioning, and still linked into the media network system," said ZI Tech Manager Ian Bell. "We tried yanking the power and cutting the signal to the unit but it is still acting like it is connected. Everything that goes over the wires here, is appearing on the unit in the bubble just like normal."
If confirmed as an ER Bridge, it is the fourth such phenomenon to appear in Zurich since the January powerup of the CERN Antimatter Reactor, Athena III.
Already, scientists are saying the location of the other end of the wormhole can be calculated.
"The strength of the Schwartzschild Field surrounding the bridge enables us to calculate with a precision of plus-minus 20 days, its chronometric depth," Zurich University Professor of Particle Physics, Dr Vilfred Vikkersund said. Dr Vikkersund visited the site just hours after the latest incident.
"This field is relatively weak, reaching back only as far as the year 2006 by my calculations - sometime between March 13 and April 1, to be precise."
Dr Vikkersund theorised that if by chance the bridge appeared in 2006 close to a networked computer system (in those days, meaning a wireless network), citizens in 2006 could be able to read the contents of the ZI screen in the Barhofquai office.
"Of course the chances of that, are about a gazillion to one,"he said. "About the same as US President Schwartzenegger's clone winning the Presidency again."
CERN has repeatedly denied that the appearance of Einstein Rosen Bridges in the area around Zurich is directly linked to the operation of its Antimatter Reactor.
