Quilted Multiverse

[Contemplation]

I had the strangest experience I can really seem to come to grips with in trying to explain or reason to myself of how or why they occurred, unless we live in a quilted multiverse. It is a purely theoretical idea which states that other parallel universes end up in the same universe. Basically, if you traveled far enough, eventually you would arrive in another universe.

It started shortly after I posted about the possibility of how Maxwells Demon could be combined with the Boltzmann Brian theory. That was the two craziest most outlandish two principles that could be combined together into one single mathematical theory. The theory of Maxwells Demon naturally gives rise to the possibility of Boltzmann Brains.

It didn’t get much attention and seems to no longer exist. I believe it ended up becoming tested by someone in the future. Fast forward a couple of weeks, I found myself becoming spammed with some type of messages out of thin air. I started to notice the presence of what appeared to be ghostly images of ore grinders coming in through the wall of my house. I would go outside and they would appear out there. When I went back inside, they would be gone and begin to come back after some time. At this point I would go back outside.

I continued to pace in and outside of the house for two months straight without any sleep. I still don’t know how I managed to do that, but it was as though some machine was left on autopilot to eliminate me in this fashion. The operators broken record of repeated banter suddenly changed one day where he had a good laugh at it, when he finally figured out what I was doing. Then there seemed to be a calm in the storm where I finally got a chance to sleep. I woke up with the first big wrinkle on my forehead from aging.

The grinders started back up again, and I gave up on trying to avoid them completely. I put my foot up against one, and it gave me a soothing sensation by removing whatever other ghostly apparitions I had been tromping over all that time from pacing for two months straight. Then one day it was like the machine just imploded on itself, and another operator started up immediately.

It was as though a temporal war just broke out. I witnessed actual Boltzmann Brains raining from the sky. At one point I could no longer eat from their ghostly images becoming too gummy, and I couldn’t prevent them from getting into my food. I couldn’t digest them. Whenever I ate, I shortly had to vomit afterwards. They started to rotate on vertical flat planes, and I continued my pacing strategy to avoid them. Different rooms started to shake in different directions without my home ever losing any structural integrity somehow.

Here was the big kicker that lead me to believe in the quilted multiverse theory. The stars began flashing off and on. I watched a star quickly approach every major constellation in the sky, and it fired what appeared to be another star which would quickly explode another star in the sky almost instantaneously. I couldn’t help but wonder how whatever I was witnessing was even possible on such enormous scales.

The UFO had to have been traveling faster than the speed of light in order to deliver a faster than light payload to destroy every galaxy in the sky. An ominous voice claimed that it just blows up every single one but this one, but I quickly rushed back inside before I anticipated it going to fire. Then it was like the AI singularity said they were going to need a bigger boat. It claimed to struggled on replacing the galaxies to the correct positions. They would blink back on and off repeatedly.

It seemed as though watching the process go on in of itself was influencing the locations of the galaxies to spawn at the incorrect locations. The constellations themselves would begin to form different looking patterns. The only way I could explain to myself how all of this was even occurring was that we had to be living in some seriously messed up quilted multiverse where every universe was the size of a galaxy.

I also noticed that a star was orbiting another star at a fast pace on the constellation of the Big Dipper. It claimed once that it was trapped in their galaxy and they wasted tons of resources to produce an intergalactic space ship. Then I came to discover that the stars that make up the constellations were no longer even classified as galaxies. They are now stars within our own Milky Way.

When I had learned about constellations in school, I was told that they were galaxies, so they never changed positions over the centuries. That is how we had the same constellations ancient people observed thousands of years ago. It seems as though the very nature of constellations themselves has been altered all throughout time.

The quilted multiverse idea seems like it could potentially solve a lot of problems in trying to explain dark matter and dark energy, and the center of the universe would still possess a black hole singularity. The Big Bang could have just been a big wimper of cosmic jets coming from the center of the galaxy. Dark matter holding the galaxy together could just be from that just being the size of the universe. Dark Energy could just be the expansion of another timeline which we can observe moving away from us.

This is reads as if you are having a psychotic episode. Are you receiving treatment?

No, but agree with you that it does. It was a shared experience. I heard people calling them Boogles. I was retconned, and I was shown some being displayed in a circle with some type of projecting device which could project a highlight of them on my wall from another unknown location. A closer description would be a Mirian Apperation, but they could move and communicate telepathically. They appeared to be separated from reality by an overlapping Schrödinger’s Paradox, where they started appearing to exist more than they didn’t exist at the same time.

My grandfather reported seeing them over 20 years ago, and he was treated with Altimerz Disease. He use to watch a heavily distorted television that changed colors and rolled covered in the images of Cosmic Background Radiation. I never believed and them, and he passed away long ago.

As a piece of creative writing, this is what it is, I guess.

I see a few problems with the narrative that you might like to correct in your next draft.

The theory of Maxwells Demon naturally gives rise to the possibility of Boltzmann Brains.

You might like to explain for the benefit of your readers what Maxwell's demon is and who Brian is.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, I found myself becoming spammed with some type of messages out of thin air.

This is very vague. It doesn't give the reader much sense of what you're describing. You should expand on it, add some plausible details etc.

I started to notice the presence of what appeared to be ghostly images of ore grinders coming in through the wall of my house. I would go outside and they would appear out there. When I went back inside, they would be gone and begin to come back after some time. At this point I would go back outside.

If a psychotic break is part of your story, it's probably better to lead up to it with a prologue, rather than jumping straight into the madness.

I continued to pace in and outside of the house for two months straight without any sleep. I still don’t know how I managed to do that, but it was as though some machine was left on autopilot to eliminate me in this fashion.

It's impossible for a human being to go without sleep for two months straight. Since this is a fantasy story, readers will be happy to go along for the ride to some extent, but if you introduce too many impossibilities they tend to break immersion.

The operators broken record of repeated banter suddenly changed one day where he had a good laugh at it, when he finally figured out what I was doing.

You haven't described an operator before this. Looks like you left something out. Always edit your work before publishing.

I woke up with the first big wrinkle on my forehead from aging.

That's not usually how wrinkles work, but artistic license...

This is quite psychedelic. Maybe you need to decide on how much realism you want in your story. Either make it a full-on drugged-fuelled hallucination vibe, or try to ground it in reality with some bizarre twists. The middle ground is quite hard to tread in this genre.

Hinting at the hallucinatory aspects. Good!

Too much of the same sort of thing, do you think?

Is this story pure fantasy or are you aiming for a more science-fiction feel? Maxwell's demon and Boltzmann Brians and so on make it sound sciency, but all the impossibilities (including the faster-than-light thing) move your tale out of that genre.

I guess you don't have to make a choice, but your writing might be more focused and interesting if you did. Even a fantasy world must have rules and limitations. Perhaps counter-intuitively, a world without limits is quite dull and boring, since there's no way to introduce narrative tension.

An ominous voice claimed that it just blows up every single one but this one, but I quickly rushed back inside before I anticipated it going to fire. Then it was like the AI singularity said they were going to need a bigger boat. It claimed to struggled on replacing the galaxies to the correct positions. They would blink back on and off repeatedly.

While the story started off grounded in a location - your house - you have lost sight of the central character here. You risk losing reader interest once there are no characters present for the reader to care about.

I also noticed that a star was orbiting another star at a fast pace on the constellation of the Big Dipper. It claimed once that it was trapped in their galaxy and they wasted tons of resources to produce an intergalactic space ship.

Here, it's almost like you've forgotten the narrative and started writing a semi-theoretical essay. Again, I think it comes down to a lack of focus on genre. I'd recommend that you plan more before you write.

One thing you are forgetting is the motive of the story. Every aspect of life has some kind of motive and any story loses immersion without motive.

Like a quantum mechanic, I have to have some kind of system that fits the observations, no matter how crazy that system may be. I was thinking of how these observations could become avoidable or at least preventable for some duration of time.

I know that the speed of light things would be impossible. That is how it first started to blow my mind. I realized stars are galaxies that form constellations, so what I was witnessing had to break or somehow be bending the laws of physics.

Then witnessing the stars blinking in and out by a mysterious voices claim to be in control of trying to recreate them with some sort of Time Machine. I actually saw some them becoming more fuzzy and wiggling around erratically around this time.

It even started to give the appearance of the closest galactic neighbor being the cause of their erratic behavior, which could occur for only one or two at a time that I could see with the naked eye. It has similarities in how the stars are mentioned to fall from the sky in The Book of Revelation.

I don’t want to talk about that aspect of it as much, because it seems like a misfortelling of how thing’s actually operate scientifically on this scale could inadvertently cause such a problem to arise. For example, if the current multiverse model is correct then why shouldn’t someone be able to fire up a Time Machine that can do thousands of time changes per second by sending signals or messages all throughout time without expecting some kind of dire consequence.

I received a message while this was occurring that it was not enough to manage things happening throughout time on an intergalactic scale, possibly only our world for what it was designed for. Then if they were not just playing along pulling may chain, then some kind of solution needs to be made for this.

All of what Maxwells Demon is comes from the idea that a random or human operator can allow a particle to enter or leave a thermodynamic system with possibly some type of intent. Maxwell was one of the leading founders of equations he created to describe electric fields. He actually worked on Boltzmann’s Theory and claimed that it would be impossible to prevent the occurrence of Boltzmann Brains by only applying his theory on Maxwells demon.

I assume that Maxwells Demon is the Time Machine and the system is our galaxy. Those two assumptions would fit the observation. I was more interested in what you might think those assumptions can or cannot fit those observations. I believe the operator believed the emergence of Boltzmann Brains was impossible. Then there was a recorded Boltzmann Brain scare made by radio broadcasts after the theory was discovered.

I think you may be schizophrenic.

 

[Contemplation]

I think you may be schizophrenic.

People use to say the same thing about Ludwig Boltzmann for developing his theory on Boltzmann Brains. It is common for people to attempt to try to rationalize their own symptoms in that type of manner. When I first read about the theory it was proposed that was a strong possibility and the mathematics formalized to describe the theory coincidentally turned out to always work out correctly when applied to other theories.

It was also proposed that he actually possibly witnessed a similar occurrence and that motivated him to develop the theory. I am leaning more towards that possibility now. I no longer experience the “symptoms” to recognize these Boltzmann Brains. He may have stayed quiet about it to prevent being scorned by the scientific community.

I believe our timeline may have become immune to the effects for some unknown reason. It may be from the persons responsible being influenced in time somehow, so it prevents these radical changes in the timeline from occurring here, once they have already branched off into some other one. That becomes increasingly more likely the further they are in the future.

No. Boltzmann was bipolar - and committed suicide of course.

I was not aware that he committed suicide. I believe most people were more naturally bipolar in other universes, more dominantly in women. It actually made them a lot more intriguing. I guess there are worse fates than death, like becoming a Boltzmann Brain. They told me that every few minutes actually feels like a thousand years to them. It would be similar to being tortured for an eternity. They would be compressed in a fashion that made them bunch up close to be side by side of each other, poking and prodding each other as they bickered amongst themselves. Sometimes they would gang up on one of them, ripping them to shreds and pieces. They would still be aware of this after it occurred to them, and there pieces could slowly merge in different patterns around their location. I was too afraid of death after watching that happen to a few of them.

If so, it doesn't strike me as likely to do you any good to engage with you in what are clearly delusions.

Ya, you should probably delete it all, before we transform into Boltzmann Brains.
