Ubik
Portable negative ionizer
Portable negative ionizer
A spraycan of UBIK is a portable negative ionizer, with a self-contained, high-voltage, low-amp unit powered by a peak-gain helium battery of 25kv. The negative ions are given a counter-clockwise spin by a radically biased acceleration chamber, which creates a centripetal tendency to them so that they coherce rather than dissipate. A negative ion field diminished the velocity of anti-protophasons normally present in the atmosphere; as soon as their velocity falls they cease to be anti-protophasons and, under the principle of parity, no longer can unite with protophasons radiated from persons frozen in cold-pac; that is, those in half-life. The end result is that the proportion of protophasons not canceled by anti-protophasons increases, which means--for a specific time, anyhow--an increment in the net put-forth field of protophasonic activity.
"I am Ubik. Before the universe was, I am.
I made the suns. I made the worlds.
I created the lives and the places they inhabit;
I move them here, I put them there.
They go as I say, they do as I tell them.
I am the word and my name is never spoken,
the name which no one knows.
I am called Ubik, but that is not my name.
I am. I shall always be."
