Quantum Gateway - Sci-fi (Short Story)

A science fiction story created with imagination... 


Title: Quantum Gateway


The year is 2040.....  The Quantum Collider at Putrajaya, a marvel of human ingenuity, hums with energy. Dr. Mathew, a visionary Malaysian physicist with a penchant for the unorthodox, leads a team of brilliant minds, pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration. Their goal: to unlock the secrets of the universe, one particle at a time.

As they delve deeper into the quantum realm, an accident occurs......  A catastrophic energy surge triggers an unforeseen reaction, tearing a hole in the fabric of spacetime. A wormhole, a bridge to the past, opens, and out step figures from a bygone era – ancient humans, armed with bows and arrows.

These Ancient beings, bewildered and frightened, find themselves amidst the towering machinery of the collider. The juxtaposition of the ancient and the advanced is stark, a surreal clash of eras. The scientists, initially stunned, must now grapple with the extraordinary situation. They are faced with a moral dilemma: to study these visitors from the past or to send them back to their own time.

As Dr. Mathew and his team work tirelessly to understand the nature of the wormhole and its implications, they realize the potential dangers it poses. A miscalculation could lead to catastrophic consequences, not only for the present but also for the future. They must tread carefully, every decision fraught with uncertainty.

The discovery of the wormhole has shattered the foundations of their understanding of the universe. The once-familiar world has become a labyrinth of possibilities, where the past, present, and future intertwine. The fate of humanity now hangs in the balance, as Dr. Mathew and his team race against time to unravel the mysteries of the wormhole and ensure the survival of both worlds.


(Chapter 1) The Discovery 


Dr. Mathew and his team are conducting routine experiments with the Quantum Collider. The state-of-the-art facility is located in a remote area, of Malaysia, guarded by the Malaysian Army security systems. 

The team notices a strange anomaly during an experiment to replicate conditions from the early universe. Initial data suggests that they've accidentally opened a stable wormhole which lasted for 10 min.

Through the wormhole, ancient humans with bows and arrows are brought to the present, landing on the top of the particle collider machine. The team is stunned and must figure out how to communicate with these time-displaced individuals. These ancient people from the past were travelling from a destination a place called "Kalamarga".

Arjun: A skilled archer from the past, representing the wisdom and survival instincts of his time. He has been preparing to fight for his land, which has been invaded by distant ancient people. His village,
Athinapuram, near the Kalamarga pathway, was severely demolished by a distant ancient invader called Nishedha, leading to the brutal injury and death of his family and friends. Desperate, Arjun and his friend Suria fought in the battle with Nishedha's group of over 100 warriors. At the moment Arjun was about to be killed by an arrow, the modern Quantum Collider activated and brought them into the present. Suria: A healer who brings ancient medical knowledge and a deep connection to nature. He has been by Arjun's side through the battle and the time displacement.

Dialog  At Quantum Collider Control Room

Alarms blare, and the control room is in chaos. Scientists scramble to understand the anomaly.

Scientist 1: (Panicked) The energy readings are off the charts!

Scientist 2: (Staring at the monitor) What is that? It looks like...

A holographic image of the particle collider appears, showing two figures standing on top of the machine.

Dr. Mathew: (Stumbling back) What in the world...?

The camera zooms in on the figures. They are dressed in ancient attire, armed with bows and arrows.

Dr. Mathew: (To his team) We need to contain the situation. Activate the emergency protocols.

The team springs into action, following Dr. Mathew's instructions. Meanwhile, Arjun and Suria, bewildered and frightened, try to understand their surroundings.

Arjun: (Pointing at the towering machine) What is this, Suria? Some kind of giant beast?

Suria: (Shaking his head) I've never seen anything like it. It's as if we've been brought to another world.

Suddenly, a voice echoes through the room.

Dr. Mathew: (Calmly) Do not be afraid. We mean you no harm.

Arjun and Suria turn towards the source of the voice. A group of scientists, dressed in strange garments, approach them cautiously.



(Chapter 2) Exploration and Conflict 


Dr. Mathew and his team attempt to communicate with the ancient humans, learning about their culture, knowledge, and their life. This interaction reveals fascinating insights into humanity's past. Arjun and his friend Suria narrate the story they fought in the battle with Nishedha's group of over 100 warriors. Their language was ancient Tamil mixed with Sanskrit, The presence of the ancient humans caused tensions, they did not understand their speaking language and used AI aids to translate into modern-day understanding language. Rival scientists and governments learn about the wormhole and want to exploit it for their own purposes. Ethical dilemmas arise as Dr. Mathew considers the implications of tampering with time. Dr. Mathew decided to hide the method of activating the wormhole.

Moved by the plight of the ancient humans and their tragic story, Dr. Mathew and his team decide to take action. In a brilliant stroke of genius, Dr. Mathew devises a plan to send them back in time to their village, but with a crucial twist: they will be sent back exactly one month before their fateful battle. This strategic timing will allow the ancient people to reorganize, gather reinforcements, and prepare for the impending invasion. 

Dialog At Control Room of the Quantum Collider

Dr. Mathew is addressing his team.

Dr. Mathew: We've learned a great deal from Arjun and Suria. Their world, their struggles, their courage... it's inspiring. But we cannot let their past define their future.

A team member raises a hand.

Team Member: Doctor, what about the ethical implications of altering the timeline? Could it create unforeseen consequences?

Dr. Mathew: (Thoughtfully) It's a risk, but a calculated one. We're not changing the grand course of history, merely giving these people a chance to shape their own destiny.

Another team member speaks up.

Team Member: What about the other nations? They'll want to exploit this technology for their own gain.

Dr. Mathew: We must be vigilant. We cannot let this discovery fall into the wrong hands. We'll need to keep the method of activating the wormhole a secret.

Dr. Mathew turns to Arjun and Suria.

Dr. Mathew: We're going to send you back, but this time, to a point just before the battle. With this knowledge, you can change your fate.

Arjun and Suria, though apprehensive, nod in understanding.

Arjun: We trust in your plan, Doctor.

As they prepare for the time displacement, a sense of hope and determination fills the room.


(Chapter 3) Physic Application Dr. Mathew Used 


His explanation to his scientific teams: According to General Relativity, wormholes are theoretical tunnels in spacetime that could connect distant parts of the universe or different times. These connections would require extreme conditions, such as negative energy or exotic matter, to keep them stable. Quantum physics could provide the mechanisms needed to create and stabilize a wormhole. For instance, quantum fluctuations or quantum entanglement might be used to maintain the wormhole's structure and allow for time travel.

Dr. Mathew's Approach to his theory is that if we reverse the process of how this ancient person was brought in, the process collides in opposite directions at -5% speed as before it could led them to spend back in time 1 month earlier. Creating a Negative Wormhole: By leveraging quantum mechanics, Dr. Mathew could use the Quantum Collider to generate the necessary conditions for a wormhole, such as creating quantum fluctuations that distort spacetime. Utilizing principles from General Relativity, the team could manipulate spacetime curvature and use exotic matter to stabilize the wormhole, ensuring safe passage through time. To send Arjun and Suria back to a specific time, Dr Mathew would need to calculate the exact parameters for the wormhole's opening, using a combination of relativity and quantum mechanics to ensure they arrive one month before their battle.

With meticulous precision, the team works tirelessly to calibrate the Quantum Collider to create a precise wormhole to the desired time. They equip Arjun and Suria with vital information about the upcoming conflict, ensuring they are well-prepared to lead their people to victory.

As Arjun and Suria step through the wormhole, the team watches with hope and anticipation, knowing their intervention might change the course of history. However, just as the ancient humans are about to be sent back, they encounter a critical problem. The collider's machinery, designed to work forward in time, fails to reverse the magnetic force as required. Dr. Mathew, though a genius scientist, isn't an expert in electronic machinery modifications.

Realizing the severity of the issue, Dr. Mathew calls upon his friend from Japan, Dr. Mawatari, an expert in developing advanced scientific equipment. Once Dr. Mawatari arrives in Malaysia, Dr. Mathew explains the situation in detail. Together, they work day and night, meticulously diagnosing the problem and modifying the collider's electronics.

Finally, after several days of relentless effort, Dr. Mawatari successfully resolved the machine's issue. With the collider now functioning correctly, the team reattempts the procedure. This time, as Arjun and Suria step through the wormhole, the transition proceeds smoothly.

Back in their own time, Arjun and Suria successfully led their people in the restructured battle, defeating Nishedha's forces and saving their families, land, and way of life. By blending the principles of relativity and quantum physics, Dr. Mathew and his team can achieve the extraordinary feat of time travel, They equip Arjun and Suria with vital information about the upcoming conflict, ensuring they are well-prepared to lead their people to victory. They were together equipped with the aid of modern-day weapons. 

As Arjun and Suria step through the wormhole, the team watches with hope and anticipation, knowing their intervention might change the course of history. Back in their own time, Arjun and Suria successfully led their people in the restructured battle, defeating Nishedha's forces and saving their families, land, and way of life.

Dr. Mathew: (Nervously excited) Alright, team, let's do this. Arjun, Suria, are you ready to rewrite history?

Arjun: (Gripping his ancient bow, a modern laser weapon strapped to his back) As ready as I'll ever be, Doctor. With this newfound power, I'll show those Nishedha what for!

Suria: (Calmly) "We trust in your calculations, Doctor. May the God Kalabairava guide us. May this strange device protect us from harm"

Dr. Mawatari: (Adjusting his glasses) "The collider's primed. Remember, Arjun, use the laser sparingly. We don't want to disrupt the timeline too much"

Dr. Mathew: (Taking a deep breath) "Let's send them back"

The team initiates the time displacement sequence. A hum fills the room, and the activation chamber glows with a blinding light.

Dr. Mathew: (Eyes wide) It's working!

Arjun and Suria are enveloped by the energy field and vanish.

Dr. Mawatari: (Relieved) "They're gone. Let's hope they make it back safely"

Dr. Mathew: (Thoughtful) And let's hope they don't accidentally turn their village into a pile of ash with that laser.

The team chuckles nervously.

Dr. Mathew: Well, here's to the future - or rather, the past.


(Chapter 4) A New Outcome 


Arjun and Suria arrive back in their time, exactly one month before the battle. Armed with the knowledge and strategies provided by Dr. Mathew's team, they reorganize their forces, gather reinforcements, and prepare for the invasion. This time, they successfully defeat Nishedha's forces, saving their families, land, and way of life. They had one teleporting radio communicating device which could connect to the modern world developed by Dr. Mawatari and held them to inform them of the success of this battle. 

Dialogue Arjun and Suria's At Their Village

Arjun and Suria, now armed with new knowledge and strategies, are addressing their people.

Arjun: (Addressing the crowd) "My friends, my family, the time for fear is over. We will not cower before Nishedha's tyranny, I have no time to explain what happened, and I know nobody is going to believe me"

Suria: (Adding) "We have been given a second chance, a gift from the future. With this knowledge, we can change our destiny. All our prayers had been answered, the Lord Kalabairava has answered us" 

The villagers, inspired by their words, begin to gather weapons and prepare for battle.

Arjun: (Turning to Suria) "Remember the strategies the doctor taught us. We'll use them to our advantage"

Suria: (Nodding) "And we'll use the healing techniques we learned to care for our wounded, utilize the weaponry given, this hot light it produces can fear or kill the enemy almost instantly, the best from the future weapon technology"

They both raise their hands and the crowd cheers.

Arjun: (Pulling out the radio) Let's inform Dr. Mathew of our success.

He activates the radio and speaks into it.

Arjun: Saying the password: "Kawan Ku Kita Selamat, and said, Doctor, we did it. We won the battle. Thank you for your help, without you we would never made it, I don't know how to be thankful to you and your people" 

A static-filled response comes through the radio.

Dr. Mathew's Voice: (Faintly) repeated the password: Kawan Ku Anda Selamat, and said, We're glad to hear it, Arjun. May peace prevail.

Arjun smiles, knowing that their future is now secure.

Arjun: (To Suria) Now, let's build a better future for our people.

They turn to the crowd, ready to lead them to a new era of peace and prosperity.


(Chapter 5) Continued Research 


Back in the present, Dr. Mathew and his team continue to study the wormhole's properties, exploring its potential for future applications. Their success in sending the ancient humans back emboldens them to further explore the possibilities of time manipulation, always mindful of the profound ethical responsibilities that come with such power.

The world now knows about the wormhole, and humanity is preparing for the next steps in exploring and understanding this new frontier. The story ends with cautious optimism, highlighting the potential for future discoveries and the importance of ethical considerations in scientific advancement.

Dr. Mathew and his team are gathered around a holographic display of the wormhole.

Dr. Mathew: (Thoughtfully) The potential of this technology is immense. We could explore distant galaxies, study the origins of the universe, and even correct historical mistakes.

A team member: (Worried) But, Doctor, what about the ethical implications? What if we misuse this power?

Dr. Mathew: (Serious) That's exactly why we must proceed with caution. We need to establish strict guidelines and international regulations to ensure responsible use.

Another team member points to a news report on the holographic display.

Team Member: Look, the world is reacting. Governments, corporations, and even individuals are clamoring for control.

Dr. Mathew: We must be the ones to lead this new era. We must guide humanity toward a future where science and ethics coexist.

He turns to his team, his eyes filled with determination.

Dr. Mathew: Let's make sure that our discovery benefits all of humanity.

The team nods in agreement, ready to face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.


(Chapter 6) The Ending 


Meanwhile, Dr. Mathew and his team continue to study the wormhole and its properties, delving deeper into its potential for future applications. The success of their mission emboldens them to further explore the possibilities of time manipulation, always mindful of the profound ethical responsibilities that come with such power. The Ancient people Suria's medicine knowledge has helped to resolve a new sickness in the modern world called "Temposagguma" a virus that is immune to any drug, which was then defeated by a mushroom brought by Suria which he kept in his pocket. This mushroom was called "Chattra" in ancient terms which later studied and manipulated its properties with modern-day medicine manipulator machines and created vaccines for the sick worldwide. 

Dialog A Modern Medical Laboratory

A team of scientists, led by a young researcher named Dr. Aisha, is examining a sample of the "Chattra" mushroom under a high-powered microscope.

Dr. Aisha: (Excitedly) The compounds in this mushroom are truly extraordinary. They seem to inhibit the replication of the Temposagguma virus.

A colleague: (Amazed) It's incredible how ancient knowledge can solve modern problems.

A hologram of Dr. Mathew appears, addressing the team.

Dr. Mathew: (Holographically) We must be cautious in our research, Aisha. The power to manipulate life is a great responsibility.

Dr. Aisha: (Nodding) We understand, Doctor. We'll proceed with the utmost care.

The team continues their work, determined to develop a cure for the Temposagguma virus and honour the legacy of the ancient healer, Suria.
