about

One of the last of the ancient “SMS” messages I ever received simply said “If a mistake is inevitable, it cannot be considered a mistake. Sent: May 13, 2023 at 13:24 CEST, Read: May 13, 2023 at 13:25 CEST” It was sent to me by my dear friend, occasional lover, party animal and self-described “unremarkable scientist” Prof. Dr. Alice Beatrix Kline from her laboratory at CERN to me one afternoon just as I was leaving a club in Berlin.

Berlin was a relatively “new” city in what was known as “Germany” which itself was a somewhat arbitrary and amorphous seb-sector of another, equally arbitrary and amorphous landmass known as “Europe”. I apologize for the hazy definition, but given the perspective 1,000 years later, these nationalist definitions seem, at best, capricious and at worst, misleading or even dangerous. Despite its young age, Berlin was a city with a remarkably traumatic past and was a focal point in the last global war during my grandparents generation. But in the last years before the Impact, it became a safe haven for many forms of divergent consciousness, which is how I ultimately found myself there.

And its where I was to first come into contact with Prof. Dr. Kline. In fact, we simply bumped into each other while dancing at one of Berlin’s most notorious techno music clubs. She had a beautifully crooked face and was wearing bright, neon colors, which was very unusual at the time. I apologized for bumping into her to which she replied “Do you have a lighter?” “Oh sure,” I replied on a head full of acid, as I fumbled into my shoulder bag. “Sorry that took so long, I’m high as shit,” I responded as I lit her cigarette. “Its OK, I am too,” she laughed. I knew I had to come up with something better to say, but as I mentioned, I was really high.

“I’m pretty sure this is the best place on earth to take acid. It’s like a machine, purposely built for it.”
“It is amazing, but… I almost prefer taking acid where I work!”
“What club do you work at?”
“Its not a club. I could never do that. I work at the supercollider. I work at CERN.”
“Holy shit. What? My name is Chip. Wanna pull over for a sec? I’ll buy us some drinks.”
“Sounds great. My name is Alice.”
And that’s how we met. Turns out party life is not just for degenerates. In fact, despite her insistence to the contrary, she was a rather remarkable scientist and one of the lead researchers on the new ETBH (Extremely Tiny Black Hole) initiative, kicked off in 2021, according to the old calendar.

Now, I was never, to my knowledge, a physicist, but I used to read a lot of books on the subject so I knwo enough to be dangerous. What follows are my recollections and replays from conversations with Alice.If she were here, she would tell you I have it all wrong, but I will do my best to explain her work.

In early 2018, Dr. Kline’s doctorate thesis “A Dialogue Between Two Worlds: On Stars, Black Holes and Quantum Folding” was published by the Max Planck Institute to little or no recognition by the mainstream science community. In her book, Kline shows that it is at least conceivable that stars and black holes are fundamentally linked phenomenon that straddle (at least) two possible universes. To put it simply, a black hole sucks in material from one universe and blasts it out, in the form of photons, into another. All stars in our universe have a black hole shadow in another universe, and all black holes in our universe have a star on the “other side”.

This phenomenon, for Kline, is the cataclysmic engine of the universe; two universes simultaneously created and destroyed by each other Kline’s work was a direct assault on generations of astrophysics that was certain stars were relatively simple hydrogen reactors, not to mention the existence of a kind of “complementary” alternate universe. Perhaps the “kicker” to Kline’s paper was that she speculated that this was scientifically testable if a black hole were to be created artificially, in a controlled laboratory. In the interest of energy consumption, feasibility and general massiveness of black holes, this black hole would have to be extremely small, likely no bigger than an electron. Through a technique Kline describes as “quantum folding” the new black hole can be bombarded with entangled particles, quantified and studied like any other laboratory phenomenon.

While largely ignored by the mainstream, the dissertation did attract interest from several governments after a paper from one of Prof. Dr. Kline’s colleagues from The Institute, Prof. Dr. K.H. Trinh, published a small paper in New Physics that showed, according to Kline’s original calculations, that the mathematics could not only be run in reverse, but could literally be reversed in the laboratory. The implications were clear; if it was possible to build an artificial black hole, it was at least plausible that the creation of synthetic stars, and thus seemingly limitless energy (in this universe) was possible as well. Both Trinh and Kline were immediately granted extended research contracts at CERN and began to design the first of seven experiments to explore what was then called the Kline-Trinh Paradox.
