The fountains of paradise6/20/2023 This fulfills an ancient prophecy that causes the monks to leave the mountain. His attempt succeeds, but the hurricane blows butterflies to the peak of the mountain. A monk at the monastery, a former astrophysicist who is a mathematical genius, tries to sabotage the attempt by creating an artificial hurricane using a hijacked weather-control satellite. To demonstrate the viability of the technology, Morgan tries to run a thin cable of "hyperfilament" from an orbital factory down to ground level at Taprobane. Morgan is approached by a Mars-based consortium to develop the elevator on Mars as part of a massive terraforming project. But the only suitable starting point (Earth station) for the elevator lies at the summit of a mountain in Taprobane occupied by an ancient order of Buddhist monks, who implacably oppose the plan. In the 22nd century, Dr Vannevar Morgan is a famous structural engineer who hopes to develop the "space elevator" from a theoretical concept to reality and enlists the resources of his employers to carry out experiments.
