Our Piracy Salutes You!

It seems that Terra's weirdness knows few bounds. Your anomaly is manifold. Manyfold. Argh! Something!

Greetings Encumbrances and Pesters!

I said (or at least - I *think* I said) not so long ago that there are many reasons to believe that this corner of the Universe is what we call "an unencumbered remnant." You see, from here you can see things that ought not to exist. You can see the Old Ones. 

When the Universe Cycles, there's a ... umm ... not sure of the word here ... Let me start from the beginning: This Universe is - everything. But it exists in a ... 

This is going to be difficult to convey. 

Suffice to say that this Universe is one of many many MANY Universe-Cycles. (I know that's also not the right word but I'll have to enlarge a few corners of your brain first...) There isn't just this one UC, of course. There's speculation that there are an infinite number of them. 

These UCs exist in another - another ... something ... that's only there because the UCs need somewhere to exist in. Also every cycle of every UC already exists in that something. We say already and by that we mean concurrently although we can't really say that any time exists in something for the idea of concurrency to mean anything. We can't even imagine an infinite Universe so that something is just ... something sometime somehow and let's leave it at that.

You call a Universe-Cycle (as seen from our end) a Big Bang, an Expansion followed by a Contraction. And your best cosmologists and theologians and astronomers and physicists already suspect that the something - sort of - exists - but it's not yet something commonly understood on Terra. Thank Zorgan for that because it really never stops hurting to think about it. 

So now: in the rest of this Universe Cycle as I said the idea of duplicity and cheating is quite outlandish. The concept of "outlandishness" is outlandish. (Unless you're Encumbered by Zorgan. And even then they think it unthinkable.)

And yet you let cheats put your lives in danger in so many ways. Theoretically, that's possible in the rest of this Universe Cycle. But it doesn't occur.

What does occur - here, I mean, on Terra - what we *think* occurs - is that you can see somethingshadows. And that means your region is probably also a shadow. You have to be able to reach all the way back to the closest spot to your origin if you want to see past it, and - all things being relative - your region is that point for us in this Universe Cycle. Yet your spot has a different origin.

Of course, because every Universe Cycle happens "all at once" in the somewhere, they're all there. In between any Cycles of any UC, - there isn't anything like "in between." We have no idea of what passes for time in somewhere but if you look at it from the somewhere point of view, every spot in somewhere is bubbling forth Universes one Cycle at a time - but time is something else there so essentially it's always happen(ing/ed) and that means that one particular Universe can see others "behind" the Expansion event. 

You see it as "impossible galaxies" that are older (in this Universe's time) than the Expansion and it freaks you out. But that's not what freaks us out. You see, in theory only the First Universe should be able to see such Old Cycle somethingshadows. That would mean that despite being umpteen-zillionth Universe in this particular UC, this galaxy is actually a shadow of the one that came first in this UC, whatver "first" means in this context. Or it IS the first.

And that isn't even the worry. Because there actually did have to be a "first" UC in somewhere, despite the somewhere having no beginning or end, actually everything does have to have that. One picosecond, an Uber-somewhere without any somewhere, next picosecond, a somewhere that was the first somewhere, and therefore one UC that was, somehow, improbably, impossibly - the first.  

Our science-Pesters have thought this back logically - and it's all turtles, all the way up and all the way down. The time before must also be spawning somewheres after somewheres after somewheres and each of those is generating something like the UCs in this somewhere (but each also different until there was every somewhere imaginable) and that means a whole mind-numbing panspermia of somewheres - and since it goes both ways, more time befores spawning more somewheres, and somehow, impossibly, there is now one now which is the prime original one.

And you guys have concepts of cheating and harming as part of your lives - but also this really strange to us concept of "parallel Universes"  

- and what does that mean for everything?
