Jageran Scientific Community Fired Up For Fractal Research

Stormdale - The Jageran Scientific Community is peeling its eyes on a research project launched this morning. Dubbed "The Multiverse Project", it is designed to give a clearer understanding of the fractal nature of the NationStates Universe, and its instability in the vicinity of Jagera's eastern coastline.

Key to the experiment is the science vessel JSS Relativitet, built for the purpose of studying the universe from any point on the ocean. Accompanied by the destroyer JWS Misa and frigates JWS Pil and Näve, the Relativitet left port in Stormdale at 0800h this morning, and is set to sail to a point more-or-less equidistant from the shorelines of Ceogarð, Kelvin, and mainland Old Ceorana. This location is said to be one of the weakest spots in reality, where one may most easily cross the fractal boundary.

"Once there," stated Dr. Xavier Therigen, Ceoranan-turned-Jageran chief of Fractal Research, "the ship will wait for the next fractal tide; about one week from today. It will then use technology built by Jageran workshops based on Ceoranan fractal research to allow the ship and her escorts cross the divide into a bubble of fractal reality, where we will be able to conduct more in depth experiments into the nature of fractal spacetime."

The project is the culmination of nearly a decade of work by the Jageran and Ceoranan research bodies. The next phase of research will not take nearly as long, however; at least from our standpoint in the "real world".

"The peculiar nature of this fractal bubble," Dr. Therigen added, "means that time runs much faster inside than outside. As a result, though less than one month will pass in this world between crossover points, nearly fifteen relative years will pass for the Relativitet. Accordingly, we will have sufficient time to complete our research in full and transmit findings back to the main research facilities on the mainland every Jageran week."

This research project is seen as key in Jagera's technological and informational advancement, and is expected not only to create new methods for storage, hazardous operations, and other applications, but to also help answer key questions about the nature of the Universe itself.
