The explorers on a 12 year- long expedition from Earth to a planet ten-billion kilometers away were prepared to deal with the possibility of intelligent life. What they were not prepared to deal with was a human civilization that had arrived from Earth almost two-thousand years earlier. When the two civilizations meet, the Earthlings struggle to create a sustainable future for themselves and the indigenous inhabitants of CRORA-41, while working to discover how it was that the human civilization arrived on CRORA to begin with

With the doubling of time, there is no time for chance to exist! Like the particles, in the infinitely small as well as in the infinitely large, we are on Earth, the observers of an intermediate time between (external observers)+ evolving in a very fast time and (internal observers)- evolving in a very slow time. In three doubled times - past, present, future - permanent and anticipatory exchanges of information take place in imperceptible time openings. They are regulated by three speeds: the speed of light C0 and two superluminal speeds C1 and C2. Independent of the speed of the observer,...

Little more than 100 years ago, maps of the world still boasted white space: places where no human had ever trod. Within a few short decades the most hostile of the world's environments had all been conquered. Likewise, in the 20th century, medicine transformed human life. Doctors took what was routinely fatal and made it survivable. As modernity brought us ever more into different kinds of extremes, doctors pushed the bounds of medical advances and human endurance. Extreme exploration challenged the body in ways that only the vanguard of science could answer.

‘It didn’t matter that they were now three miles beyond their target site, that communications were dropping out and that they were running low on fuel.
