Author's Notes

The text is written on a holographic book of sorts. It appears to be written in several different languages.

Upon my studies I've discovered that the multiverse theory is, in fact, true. Even so, the multiverse is a difficult thing to explain. I'm far from understanding it all, but to those reading this I shall give a simple explanation.

To understand the multiverse theory, you must first understand the effects of time and decisions on a singular universe. As time goes on, that universe will grow and change. Simple enough, yes? Decisions, however, have the power to change, or to not change, a universe in an instant. To understand this further I will explain the two types of decisions.

The first type of decision is insignificant. I shall call this type the "Paltry Decision." The paltry decision will have no impact on the universe, it's something as small as deciding what to wear that day. However over time many paltry decisions can begin to affect the course of the universe. -- Something to note is that the only time a paltry decision can be significant is when an individual has what I like to call "main character syndrome" or "protagonist syndrome." I'll go more in depth on that in my piece titled "Protagonist Syndrome." Anyways essentially all decisions an individual with protagonist syndrome makes are important. I find that some universes are completely centered around a singular individual, something that can turn out to be a rather curious situation.

Now, the second type of decision is unsurprisingly important. Often these decisions are world or even universally altering. So for this reason I call them "Prime Decisions." An example of a prime decision could be the Great Wars, the wars between the [you can't read this] and [you can't read this]. Should have these events never have happened there would be many things different from our current reality. The most interesting thing about the multiverse is that there is quite likely a universe where that is a reality.

As the universe grows and changes, there is also the possibility for it to change in another way, or to not change at all. At intersections such as these, the universe will split into two. Most often, these splits are caused by the passage of time or an important decision being made.

I find that the best way to imagine the multiverse is a cluster of bubbles in a very large container. A singular universe can be defined as one bubble, while an alternate universe can be defined as another bubble. Furthermore, a timeline, essentially an alternate universe still too similar to be its own bubble, is a bubble attached to the original universe. Once a timeline become different enough from the original it will pop off and become its own bubble. It doesn't stop there though. Each area of the container can be split into sections, bubbles within the same sections are different but still have similarities - something that allows you to define them alternates. However, the next section over will be entirely different, if not with little similarities - and the furtherer away you get from one section means the less similarities there are. Should you go far enough you'll be somewhere completely unrecognizable, and that's the amazing thing about the multiverse. In each section there are infinite possibilities, and if there was something higher than infinity, then that would be what defines the rest of the container called the multiverse. You'll find that universal collapse can also be explained with the bubble analogy.

Imagine the day your universe dies, or rather, collapses. In my bubble analogy you can see this as the bubble popping. The main bubble popping will cause timelines to pop with it, however alternate universes will not, for the most part, be affected and remain standing.

Digging deeper, I hope to discover more about the multiverse. I still have many questions, for example: what about the space in-between the bubbles? Surely what we know as space, time, and matter, does not apply to what lay beyond the bubble's walls. So then, what would happen if something were to make it outside the bubble? Would it cease to exist? Would the essence of what it is be entirely re-programmed? Those are questions I'll have to answer another time.


That's all that was written.
