Einstein's Plateau

Einstein's Plateau is a small Queensland town supposedly located inside the caldera of a dormant volcano, and the main setting for the stories.

Description

Built somewhere around the 1800s, Einstein's Plateau initially possessed a social, and somewhat genial atmosphere. Unfortunately, progress and growth has since disconnected the residents from one another, sacrificing its more vibrant aspects in order to remain socially relevant.

Despite this, small business is the main hub of the town, and visitors will likely see many more Ma and Pa operations than the large shopping centres common to most 21st century towns. There is one large shopping centre in the middle of town, though it is most often frequented by the younger generation. Only one high school and one primary school exist in the town, due to its small size.

Features

Einstein's Plateau is the world's only naturally occurring Einstein-Rosen Bridge (wormhole), a fact largely unknown to its residents. An intermittent inter-dimensional fissure exists in the spot where Chase and Stacey first met, as well as other random places all over town, some of which are accompanied by temporal geysers, making Einstein's Plateau the time/space equivalent of New Zealand's Rotorua.

Only Chase, Stacey and their friends learn the truth behind their town's existence.
