Tachyon Tunnel

Award winning author Michael Gorton masterfully describes advanced scientific concepts intertwined in a deeply human narrative. The story follows Paula, a molecular biologist on the cusp of receiving a Nobel Prize, whose life is abruptly cut short by a tragic accident. Her close friend, Alex, has been developing groundbreaking technology capable of tunneling through spacetime. Driven by grief and determination, Alex embarks on a daring journey using this technology, leading then to a planet in Cassiopeia where they confront unforeseen challenges and emotions. Gorton's narrative seamlessly blends elements of adventure, romance, and science fiction, inviting readers to explore profound questions about time, loss, and the lengths one might go to alter destiny. "Tachyon Tunnel" is a thought-provoking tale that challenges our understanding of reality and the human spirit. Author's note: As a scientist, I have always pondered the question of how we will be able to travel through the vastness of space. Many have suggested the use of wormholes, but I have a HUGE problem with using a tunnel created by black holes. To put is simply, we would be completely obliterated even getting close to a black hole. Gravity is fundamental to our 3D space, but I do not think it is how we will solve the problem of interstellar travel. ...thus the Tachyon Tunnel.
