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!

...I don't know. How do we know this is a pocket dimension? I've been to a pocket dimension. Mostly I just slept.

when my mother sent me away... My cousin's pod and mine were supposed to land on Earth at the same time, but my pod got knocked off course and I ended up in the Phantom Zone, which was a pocket of space that kind of... put me in stasis? I was 12 when I went in and 12 when I came out, but 24 Earth years had passed.

we just called it the Phantom Zone. It was an established phenomenon, to Krypton. We kept the off-world prison there.

well, my mother did.

And your STAR labs method really helped our police station become equipped. Barry did a good job of sharing the knowledge.

Like Kurt? Seems like a valid name, then.
