Superstring theory's cosmic view held that the four-dimensional universe had expanded at the cost of the six-dimensional universe, which had shrunk to the Planck Length. This explained why the universe they inhabited appeared four-dimensional: the other six dimensions were everywhere, but they were simply too small.

This description matched humanity's current observations of the microscopic universe, so humanity considered it correct to a certain extent—at least when describing certain issues involving Microscopic Dimensions.

Another thirty years passed.

Humanity finally made a new breakthrough in its research into the Negative Energy Extraction Device.

During one study of Feynman Diagrams, scientists accidentally discovered that they could be applied to calculations involving certain spatial structures. They could also eliminate all potential infinite terms and produce finite answers.

Following this path, humanity was startled to discover that its previous Negative Energy Extraction Device design had flaws.

Simply simulating the stable force field of a Natural Wormhole structure was not enough. In theory, Negative Energy could be extracted from the Negative Energy Field through such a structure, but humanity eventually discovered that its device experienced energy backflow during operation.

The cause was excessive pressure at the upper end created by the force field structure. It was as though a mass of highly pressurized gas were blocking the upper end of a passage. To extract Negative Energy, this problem had to be solved.

The mathematical model offered this explanation: a "backflow chimney" had to be attached to the Einstein-Rosen Bridge-like spatial structure formed while the device was operating.

It was not an actual chimney, of course, but a spatial structural circuit. Every solution for the spatial structure pointed in one direction—the Klein Bottle.

Humanity had to further upgrade the device with powerful force field technology, installing a special apparatus capable of generating a Klein Bottle spatial
