"Paul Preuss - Rhea's Time" - читать интересную книгу автора (Preuss Paul)

I put the watch away and introduced myself again, as if I had just walked into the room. тАЬHello, Rhea.
IтАЩm Doctor Rowan. You are able to hear and understand meтАФand speak whenever you want.тАЭ So I
hoped. тАЬMay I ask you some questions?тАЭ

тАЬYes.тАЭ

Fireworks. Church bells. Nobel prizes in physiology or medicine. тАЬGood. ThatтАЩs very good.тАЭ I took a
long breath to calm myself. тАЬNow first of all would you mind telling me, what is your name?тАЭ

She answered correctly. тАЬAnd todayтАЩs date?тАЭ




тАЬWe donтАЩt know.тАЭ Her voice was dry, toneless, but strong and clear. Her eyes were focused somewhere
behind me. Before I could ask the next question, she continued, тАЬThe time is approximately one hundred
and sixty-nine million, nine hundred and eleven thousand, three hundred years before the present.тАЭ

A weirdly paradoxical responseтАФshe claimed to experience a time sheknew to be before the present?
Certainly odd enough to make me abandon my script. тАЬWhat do you mean by the present?тАЭ

тАЬThe time here.тАЭ

тАЬAnd that is different from some other time?тАЭ

тАЬFrom my time.тАЭ

Her left brain was formulating these answers, I reminded myself, acting as a sort of translator for the
outside world of language. Apparently тАЬher timeтАЭ was what she experienced in the inarticulate right brain.

тАЬWhat is your time . . . like?тАЭ Stupidly put; I knew so even as I asked it.

тАЬInside time, time is time.тАЭ

Indeed. What did I really want to know? I watched her hands, which had never ceased their hauling and
pushing. тАЬWhat is happening-where you are?тАЭ

тАЬMountains rise and fall. Rivers flow. I am alive everywhere.тАЭ

тАЬWhat time is it now?тАЭ

тАЬApproximately one hundred and sixty-nine million, nine hundred and one thousand, nine hundred years
before the present.тАЭ

In the minute or so since IтАЩd asked her before, almost nine thousand years had passed in тАЬher time.тАЭ

тАЬCan you see yourself?тАЭ

тАЬI see and feel myself.тАЭ
