course that’s not the real name of their race, I’m using it just to illustrate a point.’
‘I always thought that was pure fantasy, a creation of the mind of some writer. But it’s odd that a race from another planet, like your own, should be so similar to humans.’
‘David, haven’t you read the Bible? What it says in Genesis, about the creation of mankind?’
‘Of course I’ve read the Bible; my mother made me read it at least five times. It says that man was created in the image and likeness of God.’
‘And so …?’
‘Do you mean to say you’re God?’ answered David, feeling scared.
‘No. Stay calm; your questions will be answered. Just sit down now, we’ve a lot to talk about.’
David sat down in a comfortable armchair which appeared behind him as if by magic, as there hadn’t been anything there before, and began to look around him without understanding much.
‘David, before I start telling you what you need to know, there are some things I must show you, otherwise your brain will block the information I give you and refuse to believe what I’m saying. We’re going to travel back in time, to the beginning of everything, for you to see it with your own eyes. We’ll spend several months in this space-time, but when we return only a few days will have passed here. When we get back I want you to explain everything to your family. They will be worried, but we can’t take you away from here without that happening, and we haven’t got time for
explanations now.’
‘But, time travel… Is that really possible?’ David had only followed what Galzu was saying until he heard the words “travel back in time”, and then he heard no more; he just kept wondering if this was really happening to him.
‘Yes, time travel is possible. But it isn’t possible to interact with space-time. It’s as if we saw the past through a window, but without being able to go through and connect with it. The feeling you’ll get when you’re in the past will be as if you’re watching a four-dimensional film, but without being able to interact with anything. Some animals and even some humans have a certain sensitivity and can see or hear time travelers. These days you humans call these manifestations spirits or ghosts.’
‘Are you telling me that what some people see aren’t ghosts but time travelers? People who are there but are from another time?’
‘Yes, some of these apparitions are time travelers. Others can actually be from the same time, but from different, parallel universes. Some planets in other universes have a link with Earth, and some people are able to connect with them, usually in dreams. But I’ll explain all this another time. Let’s get to what matters now, our time is short. I want you to take a deep breath and close your eyes; the first time you travel you’ll probably feel nausea and may throw up.’
‘I don’t like the idea of this at all. Are you sure it’s safe? And I still didn’t understand, if we’re going to a certain moment in time, why can’t we interact with it?’
‘Let me explain in simple terms. Space-time is like a photo taken in motion. When you take a photo in motion, don’t you see a trace of the original subject which is moving? The idea here is the same: we can identify and follow one of these traces, but as time passes the older traces are wiped out. So there’s a limit to how far we can travel back in time, around a million earth years, using the energy and technology we have today. Some races are able to travel and to cross the “threshold” to interact, but they are much more highly developed than we are, beings of the highest order, which we call “the creators of everything”. Even so, they use up a huge amount of energy to do what they do.’
‘You mean to say there are beings more highly developed than you?’
‘Of course. Much more. Our race is still a comparative newcomer in this universe; there are races billions of years
