Chrono-synclastic Infundibulum

The Chrono-synclastic Infundibulum is a fictional concept created by author Kurt Vonnegut in his novel "Slaughterhouse-Five." It represents a space where different timelines and realities converge, allowing various interpretations of time and existence to coalesce. In this realm, events can happen simultaneously rather than sequentially, illustrating the complexity of time and human experience. Vonnegut uses this idea to explore themes of fate, free will, and the nature of reality, encouraging readers to consider how perspective shapes our understanding of life’s events.
