:17:00
Do you know the nature
of Dr Manheim's work?
:17:03
Paul's interested in time.
:17:06
He's never believed that it was
immutable, any more than space is.
:17:10
He came to believe that we reside
in one of infinite dimensions,
:17:16
and what holds us here
is the constancy of time.
:17:19
Change that, and it would open
the window to those other dimensions.
:17:24
Which begins to explain
what happened.
:17:28
Have you experienced something
up here?
:17:31
Yes, what is emanating here
:17:33
is having repercussions light years
away, maybe even further.
:17:37
That would explain his anxiety.
:17:39
I had no idea
it had gone so far beyond Vandor.
:17:43
Why this place? Why Vandor?
:17:45
Paul and the team searched
for two years to find it.
:17:50
Vandor's exactly what they needed.
A planetoid around a binary star.
:17:54
Because of the pulsar's gravity.
:17:56
Did your husband ever attempt
to define these dimensions
:18:00
- to show you what he expected?
- No.
:18:04
But he did say that he was
very close to proving his theories.
:18:09
And then the accident.
:18:11
Did he anticipate that
these experiments might be dangerous?
:18:14
I didn't think so.
:18:17
But now, in retrospect,
he probably did.
:18:22
That would explain the unusual
precautions he began taking,
:18:26
even before the accident.
:18:29
The force field,
the elaborate security system.
:18:33
When he started a new experiment,
:18:35
he insisted I stay
in what he called a protected room.
:18:39
That's why you weren't affected.
:18:41
He would never
knowingly do anything to hurt anyone.
:18:46
Yes, I believe that.
:18:47
But as he saw his goal getting
closer, seeming possible,
:18:51
he became more obsessive.
:18:54
Maybe that clouded his judgement.
