And didn't that turn out well. Anyway, Nixon was a crook. Gore is an
intellectual. America forgives people being dishonest, but not being
too clever. |

At the end of the End of Eternity, Noys Lambent and Andrew Harlan erase
Eternity from the timeline by deciding not to rescue Cooper from the
20th century. However, they are protected from the Reality Change by a
physiotime field.
If any Eternity personnel were in Reality at the time of the Noys/Andrew
Change, and were protected by physiotime fields, would they have been
protected from the Change also? If so, how would those who were in time
periods preceding the massive increase in Earth's radioactivity cope
with the change in their surroundings? >> Stay informed about: The End of Eternity |

Now consider the fate of any Eternity personnel who were in time periods
preceding the massive increase in Earth's radioactivity, and therefore
wouldn't die of radiation poisoning. How would they cope with the change in
their surroundings? >> Stay informed about: The End of Eternity |

They'd find themselves a girl and settle down, live a simple life in a

Mightn't some try to marshal the resources of their timeline in order to
rebuild Eternity? >> Stay informed about: The End of Eternity |

How do you know that an expert in Temporal technology might not have been slumming
in Reality at the physiotime Harlan destroyed it? >> Stay informed about: The End of Eternity |

He knows the most important thing: That it is possible. He might not even
be alone. Assume a small group of Eternals stranded in a random timeline
knowing that Eternity is possible and their Eternals lay-knowledge of the
science and technology behind it. It would be a novel character-sized task
but we are talking about a novel plot. >> Stay informed about: The End of Eternity |

Cooper would need to make the newsletter realistic to avoid rousing suspicion

Is there any technical reason why it should be impossible to have both
