Excerpt from (A Wrinkle in Time)
Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which turn out to be transcendental beings who transport Meg, Charles Wallace,
and Calvin through the galaxy by means of tesseract, a fifth dimensional concept which is explained as being similar
to folding the fabric of space and time. The "Mrs W's" reveal to the children that the galaxy is under attack from a
dark cloud, which is the visible manifestation of evil. Meg's missing father was working on a secret government project
to achieve faster-than-light travel by tesseract, and accidentally wound up on Camazotz, an alien planet inside the
"Black Thing". The children also discover that Earth is partially covered by the darkness, although great religious figures,
philosophers, and artists are fighting against it. They also learn that Mrs Whatsit was a star who exploded in an act of
self-sacrifice to fight the darkness.
Cute & Wrinkled Time, Geo.
Did anyone read "A Wrinkle in Time" the children's book when they were young? I remember in the story, time travel was called a tesseract. That was a pretty cool book as I remember it.
Love in Christ,
