You may be expecting the SOL Control System to look like those typical high-tech devices in science fiction. However, I am sorry to tell you that you are going to feel disappointed. We disguised the machine in the form of a tower in order to keep its presence confidential. Moreover, the central system of this device is situated in the basement deep under the tower to keep it away from uninvited visitors. As a matter of fact, the tower serves as a red herring to anyone who bears the intention of destroying the SOL Control System.
The centre of this odd-looking structure is the communication tower. It is here where communication with the outside world is made possible. The SOL Control System is also operated from here.
Next on the list are the three curving structures extending upwards into the sky from the base of the central tower. Do not think that these structures are there purely for decorative purposes. They are actually the power suppliers of this entire research centre. Since solar energy is free, we decide to generate our electricity from it up above the Earth's atmosphere using a satellite. The satellite then beams the electricity down to be stored by capacitors in the three curving structures.
The SOL Control System works on the basis of interacting gravitational and electromagnetic fields which would distort the very fabric of spacetime. The distortion would then speed up or slow down the speed of light travelling through this unified field, depending on the field intensity. By keeping the speed of light sufficiently low, we would then be able to carry out investigation into relativistic effects in everyday life and provide a first hand experience of these effects. However, this is not the only aim of this research. We are also planning to open the facility of this research centre to the public in order to let them learn about relativity themselves. Furthermore, they will be entitled to remain young through the effects of time dilation! I guess that this would definitely be an interesting notion to women.
However, I must admit that this would not be free. The maintainence fee of this centre is certainly not going to be cheap and the operation of the SOL Control System consumes a large quantity of electricity. In fact, the more you force down the speed of light, the more electricity the machine is going to eat up and the more you have to pay. Ah! I know what you are thinking about, but don't even attempt it, even if you are loaded with money. We can never achieve zero speed for light because it is going to take an infinite amount of electricity to do that.
Now that I have introduced you to the SOL Control System, we will then proceed on with the tour without further ado.
