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 1 About Kuttner Henry Kuttner April 7 1915-February 4 1958 was a science fiction author born in Los Angeles California.
