STASIS Stasis. Such a small word. Such a huge idea — shutting out time completely. Theories of how to achieve it have been around for decades now, but only in the past few years has the technology required been available. Many groups have claimed to have made it work. Some have offered solid proof, have shown that time truly stopped within the stasis bubble they created. Huge claims based on tiny successes. The first such experiment created a stasis bubble for less than a thousandth of a second. Others slowly increased that time to hundredths and eventually tenths of a second. Then came the next phase of experiments, where the effect was able to be rapidly repeated. Claims abounded of stasis lasting whole seconds, one even claimed twelve full seconds, but on examining them it so
