A Matter of Time is not just about the idea of Time travel, not just an idea about the theory, but one also of the ethics of doing so. Partly based on a theory of string-theory, it is believed that time fractures off from our own realm with every decision we make, with every major event in the world. It fractures and creates an alternate world populated with alternate US, existing at the time as our own. There are infinite parallel worlds, or realities, right now. What if you could go back in time...and no matter what you did, things in the Here and Now remain the same...you only created and changed THAT worlds' reality and future course, splintering it from ours and their line of time and reality.

What if our government and a secret society of the rich and powerful had this technology, and had been going back in time for many years now? Imagine the government being able to change laws and test policy and weapons on our society and the world, with little regard for life, liberty, and law? They could, because it is being done in an alternate realm...on hundreds of parallel worlds and times akin to our own. What if powerful corporations could buy their way to a time and world like ours, test their chemicals and pharmaceuticals and researches without the red-tape, cost, and time we have in place here? Imagine the advances that could be implemented here, but imagine too the poor souls "there".

How much would you pay to a secret society that could snd you back to any point of time of your choosing? Academics could meet Einstein and Freud... archaeologists could watch the Pyramids being built and the destruction of Pompeii. Historians could actually live in the moment of some of histories greatest and most tragic events. How much would you pay, to kill Hitler and end World War II? What would you pay to BE John Wilkes Boothe and assassinate Lincoln? What would it be worth to you live as the King of England or be a Roman Emperor for a week, rather than taking the family to Disney Land?

It's all a matter of time...
