In 1903, the second paper published by the group for the first time demonstrated that particles that have seemingly neutralized each other can actually be tracked by seeker, and their paths can be measured long after they seem to no longer exist in our Universe. Additionally, seeker was able to backtrack emerging particles by noting their signature and analyzing certain areas of the frequency spectrum. Since there was no Internet at the time, and journalism worked differently, this did not make the news, but became a breakthrough study among physicists. Several laboratories have joined Eastaughffe's project, and the work was financed by several major Institutes in the country. | In 1903, the second paper published by the group for the first time demonstrated that particles that have seemingly neutralized each other can actually be tracked by seeker, and their paths can be measured long after they seem to no longer exist in our Universe.

- | By 1905 Eastaughffe and Rogers had produced results with such lasting implications for physics that they were able to open their own lab, which they named The Ring due to the shape of the facility, which was built in a form of a donut, with a huge circular corridor. The architecture looked very impressive at the time, but The Ring was criticized for wasting too much space on the corridor. However, a lot of the equipment is hosted underground, and the main labs B and C are underground as well. | + | By 1905 Eastaughffe and Rogers had produced results with such lasting implications for physics that they were able to open their own lab, which they named The Ring due to the shape of the facility, which was built in a form of a donut, with a huge circular corridor.

- | It is at The Ring that Eastaughffe and Rogers have completed the seeker design which allowed to lock the connection between our Universe and the realm from which the incoming particles are emanating, this securing a link (a funnel). The Normal Portal was born. It took 15 more years to be able to develop a saving system, that would reliably re-connect with a given dimension. | + | It is at The Ring that Eastaughffe and Rogers have completed the seeker design which allowed to lock the connection between our Universe and the realm from which the incoming particles are emanating, thus securing an interdimensional link (a funnel).

Seeker never stops scanning for dimensions and the longer it is on, the more dimensions it maps. It is customary for a seeker session to last for months and sometimes years. Unfortunately, it is impossible to store maps for later use, since seekers cannot control the angle at which particles exit our dimension. Because of that, there is no way to use previous mappings, and the map must be extremely accurate in order to open a funnel safely. However, remapping allows to identify already known dimensions and re-open connections with them, if necessary. The only setback might be that the dimension which is needed might take an arbitrary amount of time to be located, especially if the angle of exit is steep. One of the methods to avoid long waiting times is to restart the Portal and try again. | Seeker never stops scanning for dimensions and the longer it is on, the more dimensions it maps.

+ | There is on-going research to measure the angle of exit, however Normal Portal is basically not much more than a particle emitter and particle receiver, which limits its capabilities. Exotic Portal is capable of measuring the angle of exit, but the range of error is far too wide for practical use. | ||

- | Partially due to the practice of previewing, there have been no accidents directly linked to Normal Portal. The Ring contains many backup systems and its own underground power station lovingly called Beast in cases of loss of electricity. However, no major outages have happened , and Normal Portal's history has been largely devoid of any significant incidents. | + | Partially due to the practice of previewing, there have been no accidents directly linked to Normal Portal.

The higher the type, the more likely points of entry be randomized. Type 3 dimensions almost always will have many points of entry and almost always they are going to be completely randomized. Type 1 dimensions almost always will have a single, directly viewable point of entry. | The higher the type, the more likely points of entry be randomized.

- | There have been rare cases of intergalactic frame points of entry, when points of entry seems to be tied to large of very far away astronomical objects, which makes points of entry quickly unusable. In on famous case described in a 1956 paper, a probe exited in what seemed to be the upper atmosphere of a planet, only to see the planet move away at an enormous speed. The probe was left floating in space. The hypothesis is that such points of entry are immovable in relation to something beyond the planet, and thus the planet moves away. Several more such cases have been documented, including at least two cases when the point of entry was well within the atmosphere, and the atmosphere of the moving away planet hit the probe with such force that it was be dissipated into atoms immediately, possibly causing an atmospheric vortex on the planet. | + | There have been rare cases of intergalactic frame points of entry, when points of entry seems to be tied to large or very far away astronomical objects, which makes points of entry quickly unusable.

- | However, due to the fact that such points of entry start within planets, which should be an infinitesimal probability if those entry points are set in frames independent of planet frames, it stands to reason that they are actually within planets' frames, but switch frames when accessed from beyond the dimension. The mechanism that might explain such frame switching is unclear. | + | However, due to the fact that such points of entry start within planets, which should be an infinitesimal probability if those entry points are set in frames independent of planet frames, it stands to reason that they are actually within planets' frames, but switch frames when accessed from beyond the dimension.
