ok so

this is a little preview to the lecture I'm giving at the Iskaulit soon: The Amazing, Awesome, Absolutely Terrifying Physics of the Multiverse -

So the multiverse, which used to be a theory that is clearly being verified with each passing second is the force that connects an infinite number of alternate universes. Back home, we called ourselves Earth-1 but since we're not dealing with earths anymore, you can just call your home Universe-1.

Now, theoretically, there is an endless number of universes alternate to yours! they all have a version of you. For instance, I met my Earth-2 self which was a traumatic experience since he had the worst hair do since John Travolta did Grease.

[ and he was a psychopath but nevermind those details ]

This here is not an alternate universe, it's a pocket dimension since we have people here from various universes. Usuallym we have only one version of a person at a time BUT, if there ever was another version of YOU, then, you're in the same lifeboat as I am. You have met your Universe-2 self. Hope it was a good time. I'd love to meet the version of me who runs a highly successful company and can afford endless videos games but, I'm getting distracted.

Thing is, time in YOUR world didn't stop, which means that the YOU here is now an alternate version of the YOU at home. If you two ever meet, the one at home would be Universe-1 and you would be Universe-2. Talk about confusion, right?

it also means that if we ever find out how the Atroma is doing alla this that we can go full on Sliders. If you wouldn't want to go back to your world, you could go somewhere else since there is a YOU back home carrying on with the life you have left when you got here.

basically, it means that in theory, we might be able to visit each other's universes and times and if you have a cute girlfriend here you won't literally have to be star-crossed lovers.

Me, I'm less stuck on the 'you jump through the wormhole, I jump, Jack' and I'm more keen on discovering the sham that must be National City's pizza.

For a longer version of all of this and a talk about philosophy, physics and timelines, you can come to my lecture or just come visit me on the blameless. bring food.

Cisco Ramon, out!

nope. on the ethics part. I mean, I care about ethics they don't. but too many copies can make this world unstable and it's their world too. I think they need to keep themselves safe, you know?

hey, it has nothing to do with being smart. all of this was a theory in my world before we started getting visitors from earth-2.

when they do send you home, the YOU in there will disappear and you will take her place at the exact second when you left, just before she was created.

the thing is, usually this thing works if someone has the ability to travel between worlds/times. never saw it happening like this

so I guess this all could be me sending walls of texts to you that aren't even right

if that's the case, I'm already sorry.

[outstandingbalance]

Don't be sorry. You're just trying to share the best intel you have available to you. That's all anyone can do.

Don't think I don't appreciate it.

I just don't see how it makes more sense to have a copy of me who will disappear anyway when they return me there rather than me being the copy and just making me disappear.

[benames]

well

that depends

do you want more theory that I can't 100% prove? because I might have one.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm prepared to take your theory with a grain of salt.

[benames]

maybe even 2 grains

so I was thinking about the 'why we're here' thing, I mean, assuming we're not actually in a space reality show.

it got me thinking about the augments. so, from my experience with alternate universe. every universe vibrates, we never see or feel it but it does.

[ he says 'we' even though, he can see through those vibrations since that's definitely a story for another time ]

these different vibrations can cause powers to malfunction, for example. so let's say someone has inhuman stregnth at home, it may not work the same way here.

I figure the augments somehow make us all vibrate in the same frequency. I also figure the augments somehow send these vibrations back to the Atroma and they somehow benefit from it.

vibrations ---> energy. I mean either the process of altering the frequency at all times or our brain function.

It may not work the same way in copies. if they're created here, they vibrate at the same frequency as the atroma.

but that's really just a theory.

and another wall of text.

do you hate me yet

[outstandingbalance]

No. I don't hate you.

Believe me, it takes a lot more than that to make me hate someone.

I might think you're a little bit of a nerd. Think you can forgive me for that one?

[benames]

hey, it's nothing to forgive

cisco ramon, proud nerd!

[outstandingbalance]

I think Kara's mentioned you before.

Nice to meet you, Cisco.

Natasha Romanoff.

[benames]

she probably did

I mean

you know

mention her handsome, genius engineer crew member.

[ W H A T natasha is a girl's name, he gets to try the cute thing with a girl. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[Natasha IS a girl's name. And Natasha is in fact a woman.

Does that mean he's going to be flirting now?]

Smart, I think, was what she said.

Should she have mentioned handsome too?

[benames]

uh

yeah

I mean

obviously

or at least, she could have gone for cute

great hair

awesome t shirts.

[outstandingbalance]

Clearly an oversight on Kara's part.

You should talk to your friends.

They could be talking you up a lot more to the new girl.

[Cisco, you don't even know what you're getting into here.]

[benames]

[ the answer is absolutely no. ]

well, just in case they forget:

cisco ramon! central city. mechanical engineerir in my world, space engineer here. champion of karaoke bowls. uber nerd. jedi in secret.

[outstandingbalance]

[Oh, Cisco.]

Well, Cisco. I'll remember that.

And I look forward to the evidence of you karaoke domination.

[benames]

hey, you should come to our next karaoke party!

or as I like to call them

cisco disco nights

[outstandingbalance]

Are you sure you want to do that?

I'd hate to intrude.

Though I have to say, I'm curious. You talk a big game. Wouldn't mind seeing if you can back it up.

[benames]

girl

of course. these things are meant for lots of people, you wouldn't be intruding

you might have to sing tho :)

[outstandingbalance]

You an Kara.

What is it with people around here trying to get me to sing?

This is hazing isn't it?

[benames]

idk about kara but

karaoke bowl nights!

everyone sing

you = part of everyone

you --> sing.

logic :)

[outstandingbalance]

And spectating isn't a thing now?

Maybe I'd rather see other people sing.

You all seem very proud of it.

[benames]

first rule of karaoke bowl

you gotta a sing one song at karaoke bowl.

or a duet

some measure of singing.

[outstandingbalance]

Do I get to pick the song?

[benames]

yep!

I think song choices say a lot about a person.

[outstandingbalance]

I guess I'll have to start thinking about that then.
