tionally dated to 753 BC, up to the final conquest of Italy in 270 BC, ROME transformed from a small city-state in Italy to the master of the entire peninsula - through a long period of conquest, accomplished just as much with political and diplomatic efforts as with military might, the Romans established themselves as a major power and sowed the seeds of what would later become one of history’s great empires - as a new Roman Republic was declared in the late 19th century and crushed by French troops that same year of its creation, revolution remained in the air and the movement for the reunification of Italy succeeded; a new Kingdom of Italy took control of much of the Papal States and was soon pressurising the Pope for control of ROME - by the time that French troops had left the city in 1871 and Italian forces had taken control, ROME was declared capital of the new Italy - and gave its name to the European Treaty that established an international agreement that led to the founding of the European Economic Community (EEC) on 1st January 1958. An event that I had studied at Grammar School, which had convinced me of the veracity of the project, and the potential of the UK becoming a supporter thereof with the desire of becoming a member. When that time arrived however, for the peoples of the UK to vote on membership of the EEC, Linnie and I were not allowed a vote because of having been seconded from the Ministry of Aviation, to Eurocontrol Brussels initially and then to the Maastricht Upper Air Traffic Control Centre in the Netherlands. Had we had the opportunity to do so at that time, however, our experience of the Top Down anti-democratic "DO WHAT I SAY NOT WHAT I DO" mindset of control, had become enough to convince us then NOT to take part in THE PROJECT, whatever that was destined to [BE]come.

forward/backward — and one time dimension. This 4-dimensional space is referred to as the space-time continuum. My own understanding of the concept of this space-time continuum was first, established in my left-handed dyslexic mind, during the TIME I was being taught Physics GCE "A" Level, by Mr. Fage at Borehamwood Grammar School. I shall forever remember him as the tutor who drove a Daimler Dart SP250 convertible, in the context of "darting through the cosmos, 'fuller' SPeed ahead".
Most opportunistically, however, I have recently watched THE most excellent explanation of the space-time continuum during one of Stephen Hawking's GENIUS Discovery Science episodes, entitled Can We Travel in Time? • This was of particular relevance to me because the LAYERS and LEVELS exemplar demonstration of how spacetime, inextricably combined SPACE and TIME [in4D]™ • exactly correlated with my 5th dimensional understanding of the fourth dimension, which honed and refined my innate dyslexic ability to manipulate 3 dimensional space in time, within my head, during my training as a pilot and air traffic controller. To explain further, the 3 dimensional path travelled from A-B in New York, by the three people in the picture to the right, indicated by the stream of white light, in the transparent box beneath • correlated exactly with the way that I always saw the "future" take-off path of an aircraft from Gatwick, flying to Jersey for example, in the context of potential 'conflicts' with the paths of other aircraft, all of which I used to manipulate in my head, in relation to the moment by moment information, which was being fed to my brain by, at first primary radar and hand-written words & numbers 'information-strips' and subsequently secondary radar, supported by increasingly sophisticated data communication systems.
N.B. The flight path of that associated Gatwick Take-off Flight Path, of course, took considerably less TIME to traverse the FLIGHT LEVEL LAYERS of its path before attaining its allotted CRUISING FLIGHT LEVEL • than the 50 minutes taken, by the three people in the movie, to walk from TIME SQUARE to the 16th Floor of the building on the corner of 48th and 11th.…
