| Summary | "The Impossible Invention" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel that was likely written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the fascinating yet controversial concept of transmitting power through radio waves, challenging conventional scientific beliefs. It explores themes of innovation, skepticism, and the implications of scientific discovery on humanity. The story follows James Arthur Fradin, a diminutive yet courageous inventor, who presents his groundbreaking theories about radio waves and their transmission through what he dubs the "fourth dimension." During a tense and chaotic confrontation with fellow scientists at the Institute of Radio Engineers, he faces ridicule and demands to back up his claims. Unbeknownst to them, a nefarious character named Marvak is interested in exploiting Fradin's discovery for sinister purposes. As Marvak kidnaps Fradin to force him to demonstrate his invention, a chaotic sequence of events leads to the accidental activation of Fradin's device, resulting in a catastrophic breach into the fourth dimension, with unforeseen consequences for Marvak. The narrative ultimately underlines the dangers and ethical dilemmas posed by scientific advancement, leaving readers to ponder the ramifications of harnessing such profound discoveries.
