Broken and reassembled

[…]The universe as we know it has no limit. At one point our reality simply ceases to exist and another reality, very close to the former reality but not quit the same, diverging in on single point, begins. If one were able to cross hundreds of realities one would no longer be able to recognise that earth, too many changes would have taken place.

The only thing which all realities have in common is the power of life itself. In many realities people know of it, in many more they do not. Nonetheless it is there, giving life and empowering some with spectacular gifts[…]

[…]Some people believe they are able to travel through time. This of course is a ridiculous notion. Seymore Gartner, a great mind in a reality which nearly tore itself asunder, said it best, "There exists no known way to travel through time. That which we believe to be time travel is much more complex then we first thought. Every person using a time travelling device does the following: He tears away the fabric of life which divides all the realities, then the traveller destroys his reality be leaving his own reality. After that the reality reassembles itself, thus creating a reality which leaves room for the desired outcome of the traveller. This way the illusion of time travel is created."[…]

[…]In fact this means that every time someone endeavoured travelling through time, he or she destroyed a reality, therefore killing and then recreating all life[…]

[…]It is for that reason that 'time travel' for a longer amount of time then 10 hours is impossible under normal circumstances. The energy needed to bend reality to such a degree as needed, as to destroy reality and reassemble it in a new way, is just too much. Only the energy released when a galaxy dies would ever be enough to go farther. How much farther nobody knows[…]
