Notes:

The multiverse theory explained by highschool me (circa 2016)

---- or:

The multiverse theory discussed in a bit more detail than my Undertale fic(Gelatin Skeleton); courtesy of my Google drive, which is a place where nothing gets deleted.

Ever.

Aka: a paper I wrote in 2016 for school. Entirely unedited from how I turned it in besides that it's missing a few graphics and a video presentation.

I think I used to be in love with commas; there are so many run on sentences lol.

I guess I can't judge too hard though. I think I just traded the quirk of too many commas for too many ellipses and semicolons.

We use physics to understand the cosmos, our place in it, and how it all works, but there is a problem that is constant in physics. There is no unified theory, or set of rules that applies to everything. What we have applies to subatomic particles or larger bodies of matter; the rules that govern one do not apply to the other. Logic and scientific law implies that something is missing. However, when the existence of multiverses is considered, everything changes.

The very first recorded mention of the multiverse theory was in Dublin, Ireland, in the year 1952. Erwin Schrodinger jovially mentioned the idea to his audience during a lecture he was giving on his Nobel Equations, which govern quantum physics. At first he was hesitant to talk about his idea, as he himself stated that it might ‘seem lunatic,’ but he soon launched into an in depth explanation of how exactly he had thought of the concept. His equations all had different histories that were recorded happening simultaneously. At first he thought that they were just alternative outcomes that had occurred separately, but as he examined the data, he found it to be coetaneous. The attendees to Erwin’s lecture didn’t believe him at first, some even thought he was crazy, but eventually there were some who warmed up to the idea. Soon everyone had their own ideas and theories, though most wanted to disprove Erwin Schrodinger’s. Einstein’s theory of relativity no longer was the ‘cure all’ for physics. It did not apply to subatomic particles, and so there was a call for something that did. Quantum mechanics seemed to fit the bill, but it only worked on subatomic particles. As more was discovered in each field, more evidence was found which alluded to the existence of multiple universes. They also found more evidence that proved our existence to be highly improbable.

Stephen Hawking said that statistically life shouldn’t exist in our universe unless it is one of many others. A planet would need to be in the “Goldilocks zone,” have the right ratio of elements, and a strong enough gravitational field to hold its atmosphere, in order for life to form. All of this is extremely unlikely to occur on one single planet, however if there are a large amount of planets in our universe, and a near infinite number of universes that exist on the same plane of reality, in the same space and at the same time, it is statistically guaranteed that at least one of these planets would have life. Stephen Hawking also explained that, because scientists easily found how our universe was created, but could not find how life was able to form, the only reasonable explanation would be that life itself is ‘an accident’. By chance, a few molecules out of all the multiverses bumped into each other, and copied themselves, creating the first form of life. Our universe just happened to be the one that gave matter the right conditions, and enough time to create the correct molecular combinations to form life.

It is difficult to understand how a multiverse would work, or what it is. There are many different ways that multiverses have been explained to help people understand theories like Hawking’s theory of evolution. Dr. Michio Kaku is one of the main experts on the multiverse theory. He describes our universe as a soap bubble among thousands of others, and the different universes can each split into smaller bubbles. Dr. Kaku says that every now and then, maybe every couple thousand years, these soap bubbles bump into each other, causing phenomena that can’t be explained any other way. An example of such phenomena would be when scientists are observing atoms, and some of them suddenly blip out of existence only to come back moments later. One possible explanation is that they have transferred to another universe. The questions that can’t be answered quite yet are: Where do they go? Why do they disappear? How does all of this happen? The theory of multiple universes seems to hold the answer. Dr. Kaku’s bubble metaphor is not the only idea of how multiverses might work.

Other scientists, such as physicist Brian Greene, prefer the membrane metaphor. With this metaphor, each universe is a membrane laid parallel to another. Favored by string theorists, it describes how a subatomic particle could potentially leave our ‘membrane’ and interact with others. This metaphor is different from Dr. Michio Kaku’s, in that it deals more with the activities of particles than interactions between entire systems. In order to find these metaphors, one has to think outside the bubble, so to speak. There has to be an explanation as to how universes would interact with one another, a description of proximity, and something for the metaphors to explain, otherwise the explanation is insubstantial. In most cases these metaphors are used entirely to help a person visualize something that cannot be seen, like multiverses. Because multiverses aren’t concrete things we can touch, see, feel, or even really prove to exist, metaphors that meet criteria are essential to understand the concept.

Understanding the concept is the key to finding the missing scientific and mathematical proofs that explain the bridge between quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. Proving the existence and laws defining the behavior of the multiverse would fill in the gaps in our understanding of the cosmos. Though we don’t have all the answers yet, Schrodinger’s crazy idea, Hawking’s theory of evolution, and the metaphors physicists are using to explain multiverses have given future generations a starting point. Without the theory of the multiverse, there is no connection between what we know now and the solution to the problems still unsolved.

The scarest thing about Nandor being actually smart in all things Guillermo is that this is the reason why he'll never make the move to be with him:

Nandor already knows how he feels about Guillermo.

He's not even repressing it. He's just made peace with it. Because Guillermo was never an option.

Guillermo is human. He'll choose to stay human. He's fleeting. He'll always leave in some form or fashion. Nandor doesn’t choose to act on his feelings for Guillermo for the same reason why he never turned him. It would just be a curse.

maybe that's why they started beefing

GABRIEL IN A DRESS ART DUMP!!!!! 🚨

Hey everyone sorry for not posting is been too long!! ANYWAYS here’s all of the Gabriel + v1 drawings i have drawn while being gone! ✨

I’ll be more active from now on i SWEAR! (I have drawn a lot more but i cant fit it within this post so ill make a part 2)

They are in order from the oldest to newest!

Someone posted this very cool bloody weeding outfits so i had to draw these two in them!

I had to draw this dress because it looks very similar to a dress we all know super well :3

I HAD TO DRAW HIM IN THIS RED ONE ITS SO PRETTY AAAA

Made this drawing because of the shoes believe it or not. But obviously that not what people focused on lol

I absolutely love the way this drawing came out. Tbh i think it’s my best outfit i have drawn him in!!

Heres Gabriel in a night gown talking with his boyfriend :3

And here’s the latest drawing i have made so far! I know hes not wearing a dress but i mean come on he looks gorgeous :3

Thank you for looking at my hyper fixation and i hope you will enjoy my future stuff ❤️

headcanon: what if I gave this man a pistol

okay so I wanted hugo and varian to have different fighting styles despite sharing the same skill set as alchemists and I wanted their weapon of choice to also strongly reflect the kingdoms they came from.

for varian, he has his staff and throughout their quest he uses it often to illuminate the group's path, especially in darker places—which makes sense because he's from corona, the kingdom of light.

so for hugo, being from ingvarr aka the iron kingdom of warriors run by technological advancement and utilitarian system—I imagine him owning a pistol that he made himself that he specifically modified to accommodate alchemy wherein his ammos aren't bullets but rather alchemical compounds instead (think like Varian's project obsidian in season 3 but on a much smaller and portable scale) and he's made a built-in switching compartment so he'd have element variety of compounds as ammos ready to go. (think like Honey Lemon's chemistry purse)

it just made sense to me that he'd know how to make and use a firearm (frankly even his DnD counterpart knows how to use a riffle) considering his mentor Donella is a royal engineer and arm's dealer (at least basing this from Varian's Tangled Trials Lore by @i-found-you-justine-time) he's bound to pick up a thing or two from observing and watching her work—plus this provides a practical explanation to why he chooses to wear fingerless gloves instead of a full safety gloves like Varian—because he needs that extra mobility to pull the trigger faster.

and this also says a lot about his character because he made it solely and purely for self defense, designing his weapon with the intent to only immobilize opponents rather than actually inflicting serious harm to others.

Husk, arguing with Angel about something or another: That's it, I want a divorce!

Angel: *Scoffs* We're not even married, sugar.

Husk, dropping to one knee as he pulls a ring from his pocket: Oh yeah? Wanna bet?

Angel, starting to tear up and trying but failing to stay mad as he lets Husk slide the ring on his finger: Oh you motherfucker.

Would the Hazel puppet we see in a few of the shows episodes be a kind of very basic changeling? Its obviously made out of way less unwishes than Chimmy but the similarities are too striking to be ignored.

YES! YES IT ISS.

Hazel's puppet is a very basic changeling. So basic, that it's only purpose is to complete one specific set of actions. When those actions are done, it disappears! It's quite literally and physically a sock puppet.

The differences between Hazel's changeling and Timmy's changeling is that their lifespans and construction is different. They serve different purposes.

Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]

More information about changelings that's ultimately just world building ramblings. Lotsa paragraphs.

Hazel's changeling is short lived, low on unwishes, and more specific to the job.

Her changeling is a one-and-done tool. It only has to do one thing. "Distract the Teacher." "Distract the Mother." So it doesn't need a lot of unwishes, it just needs enough to do its job! As a result, it is made of low quality cloth, it can't verbalize, and it doesn't make its own actions.

Hazel's changeling favors Perceptional Magic. This is why Mr. Guzman doesn't recognize that Hazel's changeling isn't Hazel. He can't see that it's made of felt and sticks. It's constantly pooling out perception magic to warp how its being viewed.

For this reason, the changeling doesn't actually need as much connections as Timmy's does. It can exist by itself, or with Hazel, so long as it has just enough Unwishes to keep it alive. Maybe not stable, but, alive.

By contrast, Timmy' changeling is on the opposite end of this spectrum.

Timmy's changeling is a continuous tool. It must persist and adapt and grow. "Go to school" "Get a job" "Find a partner". It needs many unwishes to face many situations and scenarios. So the changeling has a more difficult build.

The magic it favors is different. Timmy's changeling requires Environmental Magic. People see it for how it looks. It has human skin and can speak the human tongue. But what it requires is a suitable environment. Otherwise, people will know it for what it is. Wooden and hollow.

The more developed and high-tech the Changeling is, the less it's recommended for it to see it's real counterpart. The bigger the amount of Unwishes, the more you want it to be stable and calm. Especially when that changeling's job is "Be Human".

These turtle figures are packed with references to the 80s cartoon and I was there for that entire cartoon but when was there this little man.
