As all worn tapes do, this one starts with a bit of static. In 2003, the US Government initiated an invasion of Iraq on a false pretext to retrieve a legendary artifact. This is a confession, of a genius quantum physicist, who worked on a highly classified project, for a US Government experimental research program, codenamed Hourglass. To save the universe and the human species from extinction, he travels back in time and makes a videotape, a temporal relocation, a paradox in the spacetime continuum that will adjust the course of history. This science fiction monologue is based on true events.
