:15:01
to focus a narrow beam of gravitons.
:15:04
These, in turn, fold space-time
:15:08
until the space-time curvature
becomes infinitely large
:15:11
and you produce a singularity.
Now, the singularity...
:15:13
Layman's terms.
:15:15
Well, fuck layman's terms.
Do you speak English?
:15:20
lmagine for a minute
that this piece of paper...
:15:25
Uh, excuse me.
That's Vanessa, and that's mine.
:15:28
This piece of paper
represents space-time,
:15:30
and you want to get from "A" here...
:15:35
to "B" there.
:15:37
Now, what's the shortest
distance between two points?
:15:40
A straight line.
:15:43
Wrong. The shortest distance
between two points is zero,
:15:46
and that's what the gateway does...
:15:48
it folds... space
:15:51
so that point "A" and point "B"
:15:54
coexist in the same
space and time.
:15:57
When the spacecraft
passes through the gateway,
:16:01
space returns to normal.
:16:03
lt's called a gravity drive.
:16:06
How do you know all this?
:16:08
l built it.
:16:10
Well, l see why they sent you.
:16:13
So if the ship didn't blow up,
then what happened?
:16:16
Well...
the mission was going perfectly,
:16:20
they reached safe distance
using conventional thrusters,
:16:23
they had the go-ahead
to use the gravity drive
:16:27
to open the gateway
to Proxima Centauri,
:16:29
and then, they just disappeared,
:16:32
vanished without a trace. Until now.
:16:36
Where has she been, Doctor?
:16:38
That's what we're here to find out.
:16:41
We've been unable
to verify life contact.
:16:44
The TDRS did receive
this single transmission.
:16:59
- What the fucking hell is that?
- Listen to this.
