Claare ny Gael 18th April 2021

Having looked last time at the enthronement in April of a Bishop appointed the previous November, we do the same this time, but rather than going back to 1697-8 in the case of Thomas Wilson, we look only as far as 1911-12 in the case of James Denton Thompson. His enthronement took place in St George's Church in Douglas on Thursday 18th April 1912. Our short story in Manx is about a young scientist, new out of university, whose expertise enables him to attach a radio signal to a tachyon - tachyons theoretically travel faster than the speed of light - to try to contact an alien from a planet in another galaxy a number of light years away.
