"Parallel universe..." bulong ng ilan.
Ngumiti si Axes. "That's right."
When Axes made sure all ears were on him, he continued.
"Kagaya na rin ng mga nasa balita, scientists are already working on opening a portal to a mirror universe," he started. "In fact, a team of physicists at North Jensen Ox Laboratory are working on it. Nalaman pa nga nila na kailangan natin ng 85-megawatt nuclear reactor capable of firing billions of neutrons on command to possibly open a portal."
"Anong basis nila riyan?" one of my classmates asked.
Axes smiled.
"Neutrons," he answered.
He walked in front. Even our professor was listening quietly.
"If you will beam neutrons in a wall, no one should pass through that wall. If something did, it means they transformed in a mirror version of themselves, as what the physicists hypothesized."
"In other words, kung lumusot sila sa wall na sinasabi mo, napunta sila sa ibang mundo?" one of my classmates asked.
Axes smiled. "We can assume that."
"Wow!" some exclaimed.
"Neutron lasts for fourteen minutes and fourty-eight seconds in beams before they decay into protons," Axes said. "Pero nang mag-conduct ng experiment ang ibang physicists by placing neutrons in a lab bottle, some of those neutrons broke down ten seconds faster, which is contradictory to their nature because neutrons, no matter what pressure we apply to them, will decay for fourteen minutes and fourty-eight seconds. Nothing more and nothing less."
"What does that mean?" one of my classmates asked.
"It means..." Axes stopped and turned serious. "Those neutrons are not from our world, theoretically."
Some of my classmates gasped. Some even cursed.
"Oh, so they're working to create portals?" a guy at the back asked. "What if... what if we don't need them? What if, matagal na 'yong bukas?'
Lahat ay nagtinginan sa kanya. Nang makilala ko siya ay halos umirap ako.
"What do you mean by that, Zero?" Axes asked.
Zero with his curly hair and favorite jacket smiled when he got the attention he wanted.
"Well," Zero started. "Sabi mo ang neutrons na 'yon ay hindi galing sa mundo natin... well again, theoretically. So paano sila napunta rito kung walang portal na nabuksan para magtagpo ang dalawa, o iilan pang mga mundo?"
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko.
Don't tell me...
