Background / History

Advocate of Superluminal Wave Theory

Before becoming dean, Abbott was the sole strong supporter of Nikola Tesla's controversial Superluminal Wave Theory among the Academy's physicists and astronomers. He organized verification experiments for the theory and later led Tesla's research group during Tesla's 86-year coma. The group linked celestial-body occlusion patterns to solar activity, indirectly verifying the theory. 7

Abbott subsequently pursued Tesla's energy concepts in practice. He planned the 180,000-kilometer Tower Island Superlight Wave Power Station on Venus and established an experimental station near Saturn to isolate potential side effects from Venus. The Sedna station's eventual explosion became a major contributor to the Venusian crisis. 19 63

Venusian Evacuation Crisis

Abbott and Colonel Feynman personally awaken Tesla and bring him back to Venus after Superlight Wave Power Stations trigger severe environmental deterioration. Abbott briefs Tesla on the consequences of the Tower Island station, including the receding sea and dramatic elevation changes around the site. 3 7

As Director of the Venus Academy of Sciences, Abbott joins Tesla and Maria in designing an evacuation and terraforming strategy for Venus's population of over six billion. He identifies Mars's weak gravity as a central obstacle to Venusian settlement and proposes investigating whether surface gravity can be increased without adding planetary mass. 9

Mars Settlement and Power-Station Planning

Abbott quickly grasps Tesla's proposal for a non-contact Vascular Superlight Wave Power Station: a 180,000-kilometer orbital ring around Mars that would avoid injecting excess heat into the Martian crust. He recognizes Fire Moon as a stable pivot for the ring and raises practical concerns about wireless power transmission and the impossible scale of transporting six billion people. 13

On Mars, Abbott helps Tesla and Feynman establish a temporary thin-rope Superlight Wave Power Station at the Tharsis Plateau while the larger vascular station remains under construction. He recommends placing the tower base in a volcanic crater so its effects on Mars's internal thermal activity can be monitored. 15

Mars Explosion and Rebirth Plan

When Jupiter's approach threatens the Solar System, Abbott supports Tesla's extreme plan to detonate Mars and create an asteroid belt. He contributes calculations and practical objections concerning the energy required, the detonation area, and the need to prevent Mars's core from leaking energy through its craters. 29

Abbott also helps determine the safest planetary alignment for the explosion. He finds that Earth, Venus, and Mars will form the required equilateral-triangle configuration in thirteen years. 31

After the Venus Alliance Council approves the plan, Abbott is appointed its person in charge, with Tesla serving as chief scientist and Maria leading bioengineering. He is authorized to create a whitelist for essential scientists and engineers to bypass the revival lottery. 37

Titan Base and Earth's Recovery

As Venus's final evacuation proceeds, Abbott leads the scientists and engineers carrying genetic samples and consciousness-storage computers for nearly six billion Venusians to the Titan base. His assigned responsibility is the Earth rebirth plan. 47

He later leads a fleet from Venus to Earth, reunites with Tesla and Maria, and oversees preparations surrounding Mars's detonation. After the explosion, he joins the advance survey of Earth and initially believes the planet's recovering atmosphere may permit revival. 49 53

The discovery that barite-derived barium ions have devastated cyanobacteria overturns that hope. Abbott realizes that Earth's oxygen level cannot sustain the revival plan and presses Maria and Tesla to find surviving or modifiable cyanobacteria. 53 55

Messenger to the Uploaded Venusians

When Earth will require tens of millions of years to recover sufficient oxygen, Abbott decides that the six billion uploaded Venusians must be told the truth personally. He volunteers to use Tesla's experimental high-energy Lightning Ball, allowing his consciousness to communicate with otherwise low-activity consciousnesses stored in computers. 57

The procedure succeeds, but Abbott's body is left in a vegetative coma. The electrical shock alters his brain structure, making its neurons and synapses denser. 57

Much later, the consciousnesses of tens of thousands of Venusians are downloaded into Abbott's brain. In a later era, he is known as Mr. Albert Einstein, carrying the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of those Venusian consciousnesses. 65

Notable Quotes

“Regardless of how cruel the reality is, the 6 billion Venusians have the right to know. I don't want to send out a mass notification. I want to tell each of them personally.” 57
