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!

Every each one, professor. I saw into the spirit realm in that place and gazed upon a void where the echos of other universes are meant to be. Even the dark chaotic spirit guiding me fell back in fear from that. It said it had never seen aught like it in the centuries it had been alive.

Whatever the cataclysm was, not even the resident deity of Absolute Truth could recall what had happened. We were tasked with discovering it, ourselves. If this is some sort of false reality, like I've seen before, I should like to have ideas to bring back with me when it collapses.

[Monty sighs to himself, frustrated.]

Yes, possibly. Provided this is not another fabricated reality. If I had my sword with me, it would be easier to tell.

My apologies if you are real. It's just difficult to accept when one has endured multiple false realities time and again.

['Sci-fi...' Science fiction. Ah, yes. He's heard a few people in Between talk about it.]

Yes. It was given to me by the Avatar of Absolute Truth. It had the ability to disrupt delusions and false realities to an extent, sharpened to a deadly edge when the wielder spoke the truth, and dulled when lies were spoken.

[As a silver-tongued liar, Monty had been extremely annoyed by this particular property and could hear Aletheia cackling in the back of his head when he'd discovered it.]
