Technical Error

Technical Error is an early short story by Arthur C. Clarke, the Man was published in 1950 under the title The Reversed in the magazine Thrilling Wonder Stories. In the work of Clarke Faszinosa merges physics and biology. It has for the first time built a power plant that uses the superconductivity of certain materials; the worker Richard Nelson is twisted sideways in the wind turbine generator with a short circuit. He wears the wedding ring suddenly left instead of right and sees everything in mirror image; even a few coins and a small technical notebook in one of his pockets are laterally turned around. Nelson begins dahinzusiechen because his body due to their spatial construction can not process certain substances. The chemist Prof. Vandenburg developed in haste mirrored counterparts of as many of the vital substances for Nelson. Ralph Hughes, the senior theoretical physicist of the power plant, leads the incident thereon back that Nelson had passed moved in any way by a fourth spatial dimension, and teeming objections of the scientifically interested general manager McPherson from which nachhakt at a conference of the power plant the Board, Einstein had yet the time detected as the fourth dimension. The Board moved Nelson to cooperate in an attempt zurückzuverdrehen him at a trailing further short: it would cost five thousand pounds a day to feed him, and no one knows whether one could really him at all, all substances provide that he needs. Nelson disappears in the second short circuit first without a trace. Hughes comes only in the gray hours of the next morning on the crucial thoughts when his colleagues are working already to take the generator for the expected consumption peak morning there back in operation, where Nelson is gone. Nelson's assistant has him namely, when Nelson was twisted, pointed out that he had seen at a glance in the generator there even anyone. Hughes reveals that Nelson would be gone already at the first short circuit for a few seconds, is no longer able to intervene at the power plant because of a possible sudden materialization of Nelson's right in the generator, and experience instead of from a distance, as it abruptly at the power station comes to a gigantic rupture.
