Dear Parker, I know that humans are very innovative, creative, and have boundless amounts of determination and will. But the kind of science and math you are speaking of could be someone's entire life's work, or generations' worth of it. Now I don't know how complex these devices we use to speak to each other are, but I do know of the kind of resources we have at the library, and it's not much. We could possibly find a way to stop time, but to do so is energy expensive.
The goal was to ferry anyone additionally arriving here out until those two years were expended. Should the World Eaters come to Earth-- my version in particular-- the remainder of our galaxy and some neighboring galaxies are devoid of life. They are full of stars, but those can be recreated. There would be, of course, some challenges in baiting them away from Earth, but hardly as impossible as an extended stopper in time.
Sending the World Eaters to an isolated planet, I think, is a good idea, but in addition to knowing nothing of the how or why we came to arrive here, we know little of the properties of their very being or how to contain them. We can't even study them from afar; we have no idea if they are corporeal, supernatural phenomena, colliding black holes... We do not know if they will be affected by what affects us here, nor do we have the leeway for a test run.
If you would like, you can try asking the spirit under the trap door of the church. It seems he may know something about the World Eaters that may help you, but he refused me, and then the church was destroyed.
Perhaps if you think you have enough time to engineer what has brought us here, we could return everyone home through that and shut it down. That should at least keep anyone from being further drawn here, and perhaps allow us to come up with a more solid plan elsewhere. Sincerely, Aziraphale.
bruh i'm sorry you had to write all this out
