... Right. So I think we can all agree that virus was interesting.

So when you mentioned angels, you meant actual angels?

[locked to the filter forever; text forever]

[littlelightfire]

Yep, actual, real-life angels.

I can't believe that's the first question you came up with, Scotty.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

I was under the impression that the word was simply coincidence and that you were from another planet.

[littlelightfire]

Does that happen a lot with aliens and stuff on your world or something? And well, I suppose that technically you could say that Heaven and Hell are different planets when it comes down to it. They're certainly not connected to Earth in any way other than Waywalking for starters, and Hell's got its own sun that's not anything like Earth's.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

You'd be surprised. Not often, but it's been known to happen.

[littlelightfire]

That's so weird. I can't imagine a lot of the people upstairs being happy if they discovered there were aliens out there that had the same name as them. And the others would just get an inflated ego from it.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

I don't know if there are any aliens called angels where I'm from, but I'd imagine there's probably some somewhere. It's a big multiverse, after all, and with an infinite number of realities, it's bound to happen sometime.

[littlelightfire]

When you put it that way, I guess so. I can't help wondering if this is what happens to all the possible futures that don't end up happening in one universe, they just go on to become their own universes where all those possible futures did happen instead.

... when you think about it that way, it's really no wonder there's so many of them in the first place.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

There's a theory that my universe is an alternate universe. Long story, bit of time travel involved. There was a cataclysmic event in this one that changed what would have been our future, but the blokes from the future and/or possibly the other universe didn't wink out of existence the minute it happened, so I'm inclined to believe it really is an alternate universe.

[littlelightfire]

But then technically, aren't all universes probably alternate universes depending on what universe you're standing in looking at the rest of them from?

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

That's where it gets a bit tricky. The laws of reality don't seem to be constant across the multiverse, at least from what I've been able to observe.

[littlelightfire]

Really? Go on.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

There's a man here who can fly. If he were alien, I'd think nothing of it, but he's human. Absolutely human. It ought to be impossible. And then there's another universe, where if the sort of paradox I mentioned earlier were to happen, it would literally rip that universe apart. And that's just the start of it. Magic, in some universes.

[littlelightfire]

Including mine, as it happens. Maybe they just split off at different points or something. Closer to the beginning of everything when physics still could have gone in completely crazy directions. Or you could just be right and I'm just spouting gibberish for the fun of it.

[lt_cmmdr_scott]

Maybe there are some that are connected as alternates to each other and others that stand on their own. Or maybe they're all alternates in some form or fashion.

[littlelightfire]

I wonder how you'd go about measuring which ones were which.
