Entry #7
May 1st 1893
The floating city of Columbia was revealed earlier today to the world. It took center stage at the Chicago Worlds Fair, amazing young and old with its glory. Those are Comstock's words not mine. I personally see it as a waste of my discovery. My research should be used for the bettering the field of physics, not glorying the pompous ways of American life. Alas, it is not my choice. Comstock refuses to let me share my work with anyone he doesn't approve and I fear if I cross him he will cease my funding, or worse; discredit me in my own work! I have worked far too hard to give up on my dream for the sake of a few petty fellow researchers. What did they ever do for me anyway?
On a more a serious note, I have made another discovery about my Lutece Field. As well as allowing for "levitation" it also seems to entangle the atoms with light particles allowing for safe measurement. Previously, if you were to try and measure a atom, you would alter its state and thus fail to measure anything meaningful. However, my field seems to prevent that from happening and has allowed me to perform more in depth studies in quantum mechanics. I only wish I could find someone to share this discovery with other than Comstock and the scum who he calls his friends.
