Bending Time
1998 was the year J.K. Rowling introduced the world to Harry Potter and the infamous scene of passing through a brick wall on train platform 9 ¾ into a parallel world of wizardry. Newton, Einstein and Erwin Schroedinger, all wrote about the theory of a parallel universe years ago. Stephen Hawking has written in detail of how there are multitudes of our universe, our space and time existing simultaneously.
It has been said that we pass through these planes through portals; wormholes that allow matter to flow freely through to another existence in the same but different world. Bending Time is about showing these portals within our current environment. These portals of Quantum physics are not physical destinations for us to visit, but are shown to contemplate how do our decisions affect us, by crossing space and time to fulfill a desired thought if it was carried out differently.
