Timeslip
At the turn of the millennium, the government built the superconducting super collider located beneath the soft limestone of the Grand Teton mountains on the border of Wyoming and Idaho.
In the late 2020’s, the government shut down funding for the super-collider as am extravagant waste of taxpayer money. In 2035, eccentric billionaire Secundas von Kronos re-opened the site as a private research institution.
By hurling subatomic particles together at near light speeds, enough energy and mass was created in a super-microscopic point to punch a hole in spacetime. Eventually the development of quantum computing allowed for the creation of mapping and trajectory’s, and temporal tourism was born.
Today, Timeslip offers time travel excursions to events throughout history for high-paying clientele, but it is by charging so much to the select few who can afford it, that we offer our real goal of providing scientists and historians with the necessary samples and glimpses into the past to hopefully better understand humanity’s future.
