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.
