Starships: Folding Space (Paperback)

Based on the Hubble Space Telescope findings, a German super-computer estimated there are five hundred billion galaxies in the universe. Our own Milky Way has 100 billion stars. To think that the Earth is the only planet to have life is akin to thinking it is flat and that the sun orbits around it.<p><br>Sightings of UFOs have been numerous. In 1952, some were observed over the White House. Details are readily available on the internet. Discreetly ask a seasoned airplane pilot if he has seen any UFOs. How do they get here? With the closest star four light-years away, it's not by any of our conventional methods. Perhaps mankind thinks too much in a linear fashion. Simply increasing the speed of forward propulsion is not the answer.</p><p><br>Could something such as surfing a gravitational wave work? They travel at the speed of light. An Einstein-Rosen bridge could be the answer. Perhaps advanced civilizations have constructed and stabilized a highway system of wormholes for interstellar travel. What would happen if each end of it were in a different density of gravity? Would it serve as a time machine? Time would pass at different speeds at each end, so one go could forward or backward in time.</p><p><br>What if the six-mile high asteroid that hit Earth at twelve miles per second sixty-five million years ago had hit a thousand years earlier? How much more advanced would our science be? What could civilizations that have been around a million years longer than we have be capable of? All intriguing things to ponder.</p><p><br>Time passes at different rates of speed at different velocities and in different densities of gravity. This is a proven fact. That's what Einstein's Theories of General and Special Relativity are all about. If one can accelerate the human body's cellular structure at the atomic level, perhaps by using electromagnetism, there could be a time variance adequate for allowing one to walk through a wall. They are not in the same place at the same time, as their times are out of phase. Einstein was involved with the Philadelphia Experiment, which was covered up the same as Roswell, but presumably dealt with this topic as sailors were rumored to have become embedded in their ship's metal hull.</p><p><br>There are those who think we are alone in the universe. That's about to change in the pages that follow. When mankind discovers how to fold space enough to move a craft from an underground bunker into nearby outer space, the Guardians determine it's time for First Contact. When the hostile Cerullians arrive. A select group of humans escape to preserve the species and explore new frontiers. </p><p><br>Meet Catherine 'Cat' Carrington. Join her as she finishes college, enters the military, gets her first command, participates in an experimental project, gets renamed Starbabe, and has First Contact. Along the way she realizes she is bisexual and toys mischievously with her girlfriend as they travel together along their roads of discovery, both about themselves and about the aliens.</p><p><br>Sexual content intended for the mature reader.</p>
