Nituric

Nituric is a fictional element featured in the science fiction novel "The Chrononaut's Paradox" by Anya Sharma. Within the narrative, Nituric is a highly unstable, artificial element discovered by the protagonist, Dr. Aris Thorne. Its primary characteristic is its ability to temporarily warp localized spacetime, creating small pockets of temporal displacement. This property makes it invaluable for Thorne's experimental time-travel device, the Chronos Generator.

The creation of Nituric is described as a complex and dangerous process involving exotic matter manipulation and high-energy particle collisions. The element decays rapidly, emitting intense radiation, which necessitates specialized containment protocols. Due to its volatile nature and the inherent risks associated with its use, Nituric is not produced in large quantities and is strictly controlled by Thorne's research team. The novel explores the ethical implications of harnessing such a powerful and unpredictable substance, particularly concerning its potential for misuse. While Nituric is central to the plot's technological advancements, its scientific plausibility is not the focus, serving instead as a narrative device to drive the story's exploration of time travel and its consequences.
