So, there's another theory being proposed by some quantum physicists about what could happen if "parallel" realities aren't entirely parallel, but instead actually collide... I'm not sure I exactly figure on how exactly scientists can tell what's beyond our universe, but it seems kinda freaky to me.
Anyone else getting vibes from "The Alternative Factor" here?

There's an alternate reality where I invented the finglonger....poked my brain out while picking my nose.
Now I'm the only version of me left in the entire multiverse.
....unless typing this caused a branching off into yet another timeline wherein I did not make that Futurama joke and instead came up with someting witty and original...

Yeah, but what are the odds of that ever actually happening?

Must science always tell me I'm probably doomed?

Kinda reminds me of the "Q-Squared" book, where Trelane was collapsing many different parallel universes into each other.

I thought Jason WAS the multiverse.

This sounds like something Michael Chrichton would write about...

Hell, now I'm getting notions as to how I could tie up all of Trek's poor handling of time travel in one neat little package.
With a pretty bow on top.
Convergence can be fun. (We need more smileys. There's no evil grin.)

In the mirror universe all smileys would have evil grins.

But if different planes are randomly intersecting our own we might be posting in the alter-Flare and not even know it!

I do sport a goatee...
My God- the joy I'd get out of an Agonizer: particularly after having just spent 90 minutes in traffic. An hour and a half to travel 28 miles in a straight line and being surrounded by idiots on cell phones in SUV's....
Oh, but I'd need some sort of car adaptor for the Agonizer (lest it run out of power from constant use).
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Well considering they can get ipods to work inside cars, an agonizer wouldn't be much more of a problem.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Hmm....an "I-Gonizer"?

Meh, I'd just settle for hood-mounted surface-to-rear-tire missiles to take out those assholes who are always cutting me off on Route 40 every morning...

Ahh yes, when Season 1 Yar ran into YE's Yar she didn't like YE's boyish hair-style!
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
What if I already have a goatee? Does that make me evil? Will my mirror-self be some mamsy pamsy goodie two-shoes? Ick. The thought makes my stomach lurch.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Just thinking about my post and the next... mirror universe men get goatees?? mirror universe women get dyke-y haircuts?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Hey now- I love me a woman with short hair (not that Dutch Boy haircut Sela sports though).
Hmm...what's the Mirror versions of us Flarites? Mirror Jay is our Rush Lmbaugh. Mirror Liam is our Jack Black.

But you miss the point. This IS the Miror Universe. This is the world where we use shotguns to blow away the first alien we meet.

Were that the case, I would not need to speak spanish to work in Miami.

So can you imagine what Jeff Goldblum's mirror character would be?
Or Kevin Bacon.... the actor that appeared in NO shows with NO other actors.
Posted by Da_bang80 (Member # 528) on :
Goldblums's mirror character will be able to add a little emotion into his lines maybe? Don't get me wrong, He was great in Jurassic Park. But he sounded a little too Spock-ish.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
In a mirror universe Jeff Goldblum would be up for the role of James Bond 007.
