The Time Axis

The whole thing never happened and I can prove it — now. But Ira De Kalb made me wait a billion years to write the story. So we start with a paradox. But the strangest thing of all is that there are no real paradoxes involved, not one. This is a record of logic. Not human logic, of course, not the logic of this time or this space. I don't know if men will ever journey again, as we journeyed, to that intersection of latitude and longitude where a shell hangs forever — forever and yet not forever, in space and out of space — on the. | The Time Axis Kuttner Henry Published 1948 Categorie s Fiction Science Fiction Source http gutenberg.org 1 About Kuttner Henry Kuttner April 7 1915-February 4 1958 was a science fiction author born in Los Angeles California. As a young man he worked for a literary agency before selling his first story The Graveyard Rats to Weird Tales in 1936. Kuttner was known for his literary prose and worked in close collaboration with his wife C. L. Moore.

The other spouse would routinely continue the story where the first had left off. They alternated in this manner as many times as necessary until the story was finished. Among Kuttner s most popular work were the Gallegher stories published under the Padgett name about a man who invented robots when he was stinking drunk only to be completely unable to remember exactly why he had built them after sobering up. These stories were later collected in Robots Have No Tails. In the introduction to the paperback .
