Dear Matt:
I know this is something I shouldn't tell you, as it all happened during a phase that isn't even preliminary in the research, but I can't contain my excitement. Something simply incredible occurred! Remember those strange "teleportation capsules" that Dr. Tolstoi was creating? I didn't give you many details, but basically, the doctor wanted to devise a device that would serve as a means of transport between planets and also fit in your pocket. I know it sounds far-fetched, but if there's a man who can achieve it, it's him. Obviously, the project was in its infancy. We hadn't even thought about the political consequences, and it has only been discussed publicly for use within our planetary confederation for now. But there's something more important to consider: was it even possible?
This is nothing like the basic teleportation devices that exist between cities, as the goal is to make this immediate transport possible regardless of a distance of several light-years. For now, we used two stars with a slightly significant distance, about 400,000 kilometers. The first attempts, as expected, were complete failures. But something strange happened once: one of the objects that were transported disappeared. Initially, many analyses were conducted; this object had not been destroyed or transformed. It simply ceased to exist in our physical reality.
Do you understand what I'm saying? That object is in perfect condition and without any modification; it still exists, but in another place. The only plausible explanation is that it's in another dimension! As you can imagine, all the scientific team's efforts are now focused on understanding and replicating this phenomenon. Can you imagine? Until recently, the human race saw interdimensional travel as impossible, even with all our technological advancements. It was our last fantasy, an unattainable dream.
We might even be able to correct our past mistakes when we find more intelligent life and create truly significant bonds for humanity. Without a doubt, a bright future awaits us.
I hope everything is well and that in the near future, I can visit you whenever I want, and the journey will only take an instant. Or if the future is even brighter, that we can go on interdimensional vacations together.
