Collect Call from Einstein
by The Ascetic Crusader
In a year, your voice travels approximately 5,865,696,000,000 miles around the global phone network at the speed of light. Therefore, in a way, long distance calling is like time travel into the past. The person you are talking to is no longer saying what you are hearing. And you are no longer saying what they are hearing. Sort of like the stars in the sky which no longer shine like we see them each night, because they have long died out . It is only their light , which is still travelling the inmensity of space, that we see in the sky.
But what if by some quirky glitch in the intricate phone network we suddenly opened a line to the future ? Who would you talk to ? What would you ask ?
This is the story of Mr. Blake T Armstrong. A phone technician who accidentally found a way to do just that : Make a phone call
to the future.
