Deep dives
The Impact of Time Radiation on Humans
The widespread use of the fast forward technology has led to the acceleration of time perception among its users. While they experience increased efficiency and productivity, this accelerated state negatively affects their physical well-being. The fast forward uses a substance called T42, extracted from meteorites, which emits chrono particles that increase entropy in the environment and speed up metabolic processes. Users experience faster aging and shorter lifespans, while also facing potential side effects such as premature wrinkles and degraded physical abilities.
