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!

[Don't let Davesprite tell you about Homestuck, Cisco.]

mostly paradoxes
if you got cornered into a situation that mandated changing the past that was bad fucking news
all of those movies that warned you about the dangers of time travel turned out to have the right idea after all
who would have guessed
besides the assholes who wrote them anyway

uh well
i could
you know how video games conveniently work where everyone has different classes and certain shit they happen to be better at than their fellow party members
its like that
or it literally WAS that
my thing just happened to be time travel

its not really something i want to try out
rules i gotta abide by and all
but i probably got nuked on some front i had a friend here from the same shitty cosmic clusterfuck and shed teleport shit like
just left of where she actually meant it to go
or maybe three feet higher
this is not a problem she used to have

eh not really
place was kind of a downer to be honest
i mean its pretty dumb to get a power where the whole crockshit of a lesson boils down to "dont do the time travel thing bro itll fuck you up heres your alternate future self as proof"
