Chronology of events in the creation of the Young-VanDriel Time Loop:
1221 BC - Probe arrives at Cygnus X-1 via Helical time-path
1769 AD - R. D. Young born
1831 AD - Young postulates theory of paradimensional dynamics
1881 AD - R. D. Young dies
1911 AD - Formation of Sunnydale MU (loop 1)
1951 AD - Rediscovery of the Young paradimensional hypothesis by then undergraduate M. VanDriel
1953 AD - Creation of the Zarkov Laser Communications array at Sunnydale MU
1965 AD - VanDriel (now on Faculty) begins practical application of Young's theories
Oct. 1978 AD - Receipt of loop 1 time data via Oculis Vacui through Zarkov array (creation of loop 2)
Nov. 1978 AD - Nobel prize in physics posthumously awarded to R. D. Young
Jan. 1979 AD - Rosinante Project begins. (loop2)
1981 AD - Rosinante Project begins (loop 1)
1995 AD - Neulander invents trans-light drive
1998 AD - Launch of Rosinante rocket and Oculis Vacui probe. (loop 1)
3598 AD - Probe arrives at Cygnus X-1 via trans-light drive and initiates Helical time-path
While this precis of the relevant events in the creation of the Young-VanDriel time-loop is cursory, it will give the student a flavour of the nature of the task which has been undertaken. It is important to note that the entire creation of the time-loop was at first merely the by-product of our initial wish to study the singularity of Cygnus X-1. The fore-thought of members of the project in including data disks of the relevant history of 1978-1998 for loop 1 in the Oculis Vacui data relay was fortuitous, allowing those who received this information to go about creating the first ever successfully documented time-loop. Congratulations!
