The transition (Axis of Time)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In John Birmingham's Axis of Time novels, The Transition, or, in Axis countries, The Emergence is the first substantiation of Multiverse and String theory. In 2021, Manning Pope and his Joint Research Team are investigating the possibilities of teleportation as a weapon, aboard a specially converted supertanker called the JRV Nagoya.
The event that caused The Transition was a 0.1 effectiveness test of the technology, commissioned by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and designed to
move a very small, very simple warhead directly into the mass of a selected target, such as the brainstem of Mullah Ibn Abas
-Weapons of Choice, John Birmingham p.18
This failed, and as suggested, somewhat jokingly by technicans working on the project a couple of pages before.
Pope's wormhole, which should have stabilized at three microns in diameter, instead blew out into a swirling lens of elemental colours fifteen thousand meters across before dissipating just as quickly. In that brief period however, it punched through the veil separating two universes
-ibid p.23
This event draws into it, the majority of UNPROFLEET, a United Nations taskforce charged with returning power to the Government-in-Exile of Indonesia from a fundamentalist Muslim Theocracy, who has been slaughtering ethnic Chinese citizens, cutting right through the middle of one ship, the Royal Navy helicopter carrier HMS Fearless.
It sent the Taskforce into the midst of another universe, the night before the Battle of Midway, which leads to the Combat Intelligences, which can run the warships when their crews are incapacitated, destroying the majority of the US Pacific Fleet.

[edit] The Transition
A near-future military experiment thrusts a multinational armada back to 1942, right into the middle of the U.S. naval task force speeding towards Midway Atoll – and what was to be the most spectacular Allied triumph of World War 2.
[edit] Introduction
At 15 January 2021 01:10 AF and 20 November 1942 09.03 AH, as a result of an unexpected intrusion, by an anthropomorphically generated primordial Schwarzschild degenerate field within the Heim/Pope continuity-now/space of 04232567.002AF and 0423567.002AH, a gross mass of approximately 1.059x1029 gm was exchanged between the two continua. Along with this large amount of seawater, sediment, crustal basalt, nitrogen, oxygen, sodium chloride, huge numbers of fish, crustaceans nematodes and innumerable Lithotrophic and Archaean bacteria types, approximately 185,000 tonnes of futuristic (to AH) 21st Century equipment and nearly 15,000 personnel transitioned to our ‘universal’ shores.
[edit] Simplified Summary
The low mass value of the transition was primarily, and serendipitously, as a result of the analogously synchronous relationship between orbital, geomorphic and cosmological relationships between the two AF and AH continua and the failure of Pope to fully engage the energies he had at his disposal. It is believed the, approximately, 15 kilometre ball of atmosphere and lithosphere from our AH continua, was transitioned to the AF continua, synchronously with the UNPROFLEET. It is not known where the fluxed AH mass touched down in the AF continua and it is yet to be established where the mass, transited to the AH continua, came from. Fermi1 has calculated the transited AH material’s core appeared 6,365±15m from the centre of the AF Earth. Fermi calculate the radius of the Uptimer’s AF Earth is of similar (for all intents and purposes exactly the same) radius to ours (AH).
The fabric of Pope’s transitional matrix was unstable and incapable of creating a self generating ‘poised’ Lorentzian wormhole, due to it being developed energetically, rather that through mass compression2.
Records carried by the ‘Uptimer’s’, specifically surveillance and radiological recorders on naval vessels of the UNPROFLEET suggest the Pope ‘test’, was running at approximately 0.1% efficiency of the available energy locus. This is fortuitous for both the AH and the AF multiverses, because Heim’s equations dramatically demonstrate that 100% efficiency or all the available energy stipend, would have displace a sphere of matter, centred on Popes apparatus, over 2000 kilometres in radius, consisting of crust, mantle, atmosphere and ocean, with disastrous results to both continua and any echo4. There is no current defence nor any early warning facility against any other multiverse ‘accidentally’ conducting a similar experiment tp Pope's, that could infringe upon our reality.
[edit] Cultural Collision
The immediate results of the Transition are historically well documented. Popular literature in the form of books such as Jack Kennedy’s “Kolhammer and Me”, “Freaks” by Clyde Tolson, and especially, the seminal “Transition” by Julia Duffy and Bob Hope, cover the period. Cinematography’s outstanding contributions are covered by Biggs’s ‘Are people Sheep’, Francis McDonnell’s ‘The Longer Trail’ and currently in production: John Ford's adaptation of ‘Transition’ with working title ‘Weapons of Choice’ starring John Wayne, James Dean and Hope Lang as Julia Duffy - due for release Sept 1957. Attenborough’s 12 part television series ‘Axis of Time’ is surely the final word on the subject.
[edit] Causation
A minor instability in the transition flux between the two continua has resulted in a .000001%±.000005, inefficiency being recorded in all of the fusion reactors on board USS Hillary Clinton. This discrepancy, Heim postulates, results from the calculated and observed, difference in radii5 of the Higgs Boson AF and Higgs Boson AH which appear to have a major bearing on the discrepancies in time between the AF and AH multiverse.
[edit] Potential Consequences
Pope’s ‘Transition’ triggered the appearance of the Multinational Fleet and associated dutrius in the 0423567.002AH multiverse (our's) which resulted in many deviations from the expected (AF history) time line. Echos6 have been detected by Heim etal, through their X-Ray worm hole experiments, in 1805AD and several other dates including, possibly, as distant as 3247BP (Before Present).

1 Enrico Fermi and Albert Einstein Calculus of the Ages (Macmillan Publishers, London, 1957) “the mass and harmonics, that is the mass expressed in grams and the spatial as well as the multiversal coordinated expressed in universal ticks and the galactic locii (X,Y,Z), that ‘transited’ in the transition of 1942 (AH) was close, so close to being a disaster, one must strongly consider that it was a divine intervention that prevented the bulk of the material appearing above the lithosphere or with substantially greater kinetic energy than out multiverse (AH) or that the dark energy foam had a different spin, density or charge or electron mass. Of ALL of the potential possibilities, the Uptimer’s (AF) multiverse is so close to ours, as to be only temporally anti-synchronous and to an extremely small percentage at that."
2 Recent experiments (1957) at the Heim Campus of the Special Administrative Zone MIT (Boston) have fabricated stable Lorentzian wormholes through mass condensations to continuity now/space at distances of 0423567.002AH-6h. So far only polarized soft X-Rays within λ 10-7mm have been broadcast and ‘grasped’. No communications have resulted: at this point.
3 Heim, Ancker-Johnson, Condensate matter and the Pope Echo (Williams, Boston 1956.) Covers the relationships between Einsteinian/Bose mass/energy reality and Meyer-Schutzmeister/Plank tick/quantum reality.
4 Burkhard Heim, Arthur Erdélyi and Paul Brache have postulated ‘echos’ repeating certain quanta conformancies centred around massive metallic hearts combined with neutron/Tarrateen subatomic tachon/parser particles generated within fusion reactors through continua potentiality manifestation at AH and AF mulitiverse and balance out the 'no loss' laws.
5 Heim, Fermi and Ancker-Johnson (1954) along with Einstein and Pauling (for publicity) [citation needed] have calculated and observed the differences between our, AH and the AF multiverse Higgs Boson particles, especially those contained within the fusion cores of Clinton and those 'grasped' in mass condensation experiments found the differences in energy correspond closely to the difference in time from the projected year zero 15,300,000,000,000.
6 Heim/Fermi etal have detected what they believe are ‘echo’s’ indicating temporal(multiverse)/mass displacement (as opposed to mass/energy displacement) signifying the replication for massive bodies from the Pope’s (AF) multiverse into what could be envisages as the far past. There are over 15 large displacements detected but research has only quantified four. One being approximately 1805AD, another 2473BP . A final one has been detected as being 144 years PT Pre Transition (into the future). Further research may indicate the physical location and whether their existence can have any impact on our multiverse 0423567.002AH
