Two scientists explore a world where physics operates on English anagrams, leading to ethical dilemmas and potentially catastrophic consequences. Longer summary
This story follows Dr. Omar Reyes and Dr. Lachlan Fairchild as they explore an imagined world called Adwellia, created by the mind of Dr. Michael Adwell. In this world, physics operates based on English language anagrams. The scientists conduct experiments to understand this 'anglophysics', but their research leads to ethical dilemmas and dangerous consequences. The story culminates in a paradoxical reaction that may have destroyed Adwellia, with Dr. Reyes narrowly escaping back to his own dimension. Shorter summary
