"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Hamlet)

.....I suspect some of you may be curious about my writing the Great American Novel; perhaps for cousin Ruthie's sake, we might call it The Great British Novel (or has Dickens already done that?).  Anyway it's about a "person" who came to the planet Earth from another universe.  His name happens to be X2QZ, but you may call him "X".  His planet in his universe is Xan and there X2QZ is living in the year MMMXXV--only they are called "life cycles" there and X is XXXV life cycles old.  The Roman numerals on Xan are called Sentenoids and they came into that universe millenniums ago by a Roman seer who solved the riddle of getting through the "bubble" of Xan's universe quite by accident--as many a discovery has originated. 
..... However, the scientists on Xan were able to solve the method of escaping their bubble into Earth's universe.  X’s mission was to explore the life and history of Earth and it’s universe, and to report back to the Supreme Xan Academy of Science, History, and Art.  He was to see if there were any  technologies on Earth, or perhaps on any of the other planets in the Solar System which might be of use in Xan’s universe.  
.....X had a supreme power of being able to lift objects of any size or weight simply by a thought emanating from his brain, which on Xan was no big deal--except scientists had developed X's brain to be many times more powerful than that of anyone--a kind of "brain" astronaut.  Earth was more than 1000 Earth years behind this medical miracle.   Basic experiments with quadriplegics have been successful in having them move a cursor on a computer simply with thought.  
.....Anyway this is the basis of my book.  Don't ask me where it is going; I haven't figured that out yet.  X2QZ has helped a young lady who had been shopping at Macy's but who accidentally dropped her packages.  X simply lifted them with a thought--mystifying her.  She thought he was a circus performer.  X also ate a hot dog for the first time from a street vendor.
