Origin[]
Karl Schwarzchild (1873 - 1916) was a German physicist and astronomer who provided the first exact solution to Einstein's field equations of general relativity. This details the effects of gravity on a spherical non-charged space. A theory for the existance of gravity wells is named the Schwarzchild metric in his honor.
Effects[]
When properly used, the watch can cause depressions in gravitational fields by focusing gravitons. These dips in gravity cause a weakening in the fabric of space and large concentrations could potentially cause the formation of a Schwarzchild black hole, which is a black hole with no observable charge or momentum.
When amplified, the effects of the watch can cause localized gravity wells across large distances. As discovered by Paracelcus, by charging it with chronetic energy from Theodosius of Bithynia's Sundial and focusing the spacial depression into a wormhole with Pierre-Simon Laplace's Telescope, one can physically travel through time, provided a device such as H. G. Well's Time Machine is present to callibrate the destination.
History[]
In 2009, the watch was implemented in an anti-gravity device in Eureka.
In 2010, Douglas Fargo brought the watch to the Warehouse during his visit to upgrade the Warehouse's computer system.
In 2012, the watch was combined by Paracelsus with Theodosius of Bythinia's Sundial, Pierre-Simon Laplace's Telescope, and H.G. Well's Time Machine to create a wormhole that acted as a fully-functioning time machine that would allow him to alter the events of history and change the future. He used this to travel back to the day he was originally Bronzed by agents of Warehouse 9 on June 10th, 1541 and attempt to kill the Regents of the time and establish himself as a permanent Caretaker for all future Warehouses.
