let it all flow out like a river running

[maidofmistakes]

So, uh... anybody have any idea how wormholes in space work? I mean, I'm trying to look it up, but all these theories are kind of contradicting each other. One page said you could only go back, and I'm pretty sure I remember going forward. Wait, am I getting ahead of myself?

Scrap that. New question. Sorry. Uh, does physics work the same in all your other versions' worlds or is that different too?

why are you asking

[maidofmistakes]

Just kind of wondering. I mean, we're putting together our memories in our heads with what we know about this world, right?

[matchbreaker]

What?

I don't get this at all, sorry?

Though I suppose mine does, I don't think a bat tornado would work normally.

[maidofmistakes]

Well, uh... it's kind of a long story. I was looking up wormhole physics theories because I remembered something.

[matchbreaker]

Oh, okay.

Those do pretty much everything in various movies.

[maidofmistakes]

I guess after my planet blew up, I was going through space to somewhere safe and got caught in one of those. I ended up on Earth super late. Like, my baby cousin was there too somehow, but he was already an adult.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Oh.

she's open enough to say that in public. But. Whoa. ]

That had to have been confusing. Wow.

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah... It's freaking me out. So I wanted to know if anyone else knew if things worked differently in their worlds, besides the whole superpowers thing.

Is this one of those trendy goth typing things?

Well one could say supernatural beings defy a lot of scientific "rules" by our very nature, I suppose.

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, pretty much. I just kinda wondered if that held up for other things you might remember.

[liberal_arts]

I'm really not a physicist, or a scientist of any kind, so I can't really say for certain. I do know that my other self's world had time travel, but I have no idea how it functioned.

[maidofmistakes]

Whoa. Does that mean you went forward in time, too?

[liberal_arts]

If you mean we returned to a modern age whenever our missions were over, then yes.

[maidofmistakes]

That sounds so cool. But also kind of terrifying? So you just got sent back in time for super stuff?

[coinflipped]

I don't think so? I mean, other than magic, I think physics were I'm from works the same.

I think.

[maidofmistakes]

Huh. I guess magic does kind of break physics on its own, but I just remembered space wormhole time travel and it didn't work the same way the internet says, so thought I'd ask.

[seeker]

i think so? i haven't gotten much insight into my other...self's world's science other than it doesn't appear to match up with her lifestyle, but physics seems to check out.

[maidofmistakes]

Lifestyle? Like how some people just don't pay attention to science, or what?

[seeker]

no. she's part of an archaic tribal society but hunts and fights robots. incredibly advanced a.i., realistic animal behaviors. far, far beyond robotics in development currently.

[maidofmistakes]

Whoa. That actually sounds really cool, but mostly pretty scary.

[seeker]

it's pretty cool. and terrifying. the tribe (s?) appear to use the robots for weapons resources. they make arrows and armor out of bullet shells and scrap metal. nuts.
more to the point: you remember going *through* a wormhole?

[maidofmistakes]

Yeah, in a spaceship. And because of it, I got to where I was going pretty late.
