Harlan
said
,
"
For
weeks
now
I
’
ve
been
going
through
films
on
the
history
of
mathematics
.
Books
from
several
Realities
of
the
575th
.
The
Realities
don
’
t
matter
much
.
Mathematics
doesn
’
t
change
.
The
order
of
its
development
doesn
’
t
change
either
.
No
matter
how
else
the
Realities
shifted
,
mathematical
history
stayed
about
the
same
.
The
mathematicians
changed
;
different
ones
switched
discoveries
,
but
the
end
results
-
-
Anyway
,
I
pounded
a
lot
of
it
into
my
head
.
How
does
that
strike
you
?
"
Twissell
frowned
and
said
,
"
A
queer
occupation
for
a
Technician
?
"
"
But
I
’
m
not
just
a
Technician
,
"
said
Harlan
.
"
You
know
that
.
"
"
Go
on
,
"
said
Twissell
and
he
looked
at
the
timepiece
he
wore
.
The
fingers
that
held
his
cigarette
played
with
it
with
unwonted
nervousness
.
Harlan
said
,
"
There
was
a
man
named
Vikkor
Mallansohn
who
lived
in
the
24th
Century
.
That
was
part
of
the
Primitive
era
,
you
know
.
The
thing
he
is
known
best
for
is
the
fact
that
he
first
successfully
built
a
Temporal
Field
.
That
means
,
of
course
,
that
he
invented
Eternity
,
since
Eternity
is
only
one
tremendous
Temporal
Field
shortcircuiting
ordinary
Time
and
free
of
the
limitations
of
ordinary
Time
.
"
"
You
were
taught
this
as
a
Cub
,
boy
.
"
"
But
I
was
not
taught
that
Vikkor
Mallansohn
could
not
possibly
have
invented
the
Temporal
Field
in
the
24th
Century
.
Nor
could
anyone
have
.
The
mathematical
basis
for
it
didn
’
t
exist
.
The
fundamental
Lefebvre
equations
did
not
exist
;
nor
could
they
exist
until
the
researches
of
Jan
Verdeer
in
the
27th
Century
.
"
If
there
was
one
sign
by
which
Senior
Computer
Twissell
could
indicate
complete
astonishment
,
it
was
that
of
dropping
his
cigarette
.
He
dropped
it
now
.
Even
his
smile
was
gone
.
He
said
,
"
Were
you
taught
the
Lefebvre
equations
,
boy
?
