npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) One of my favourite stories, "Time Shards" by Gregory Benford (from 1979) might have been the source of the idea you saw in the church magazine https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/time-shards/

There was an article about the concept in the New Scientist's "Daedalus" column back in 1969 too: https://books.google.ca/books/about/The_Inventions_of_Daedalus.html?id=0Xt2QgAACAAJ

(I'm mildly obsessed with the concept, so I suppose we share a wistful hoax)
