The Following Chapter contains Characters from the following: Doctor Who and Tenchi Muyo
The Multiverse and You
A rather eccentric man moved across the boards as he wrote various equations and high end mathematical calculations. Sitting in the desk next to him was a red haired girl typing on what was a laptop...maybe a laptop. Hard to say really. She looked over to the man and sighed.
"You forgot to carry the six."
"That is a six."
"Doesn't look like a six."
"Do you want to do this, or can get on with the lesson?"
"No thanks, I want to see if I can make my own TARDIS."
"Isn't your lab bigger on the inside...And in a closet?", asked the Doctor.
"Yes it is. That's not the point. Your TARDIS runs on a different principle, I want one. If only I had a sample."
"You are still not touching her Washu. No one touches my TARDIS."
The girl smirked as she looked over to the Time Lord who was finishing up his formula.
"We'll see Doctor, we will see."
"Right, good luck with that...Where was I...Oh right!"
The Doctor turned around to adress the class of various scientists to be and other thinkers from across the multiverse.
"Good day, I am the 10th Doctor...Something I have to clarify since there are quite a few of me walking around...Anyway, today we will discuss the Multiverse, Omniverse, and the difference between the two. With me is.."
The girl stood up with a smile as she waved to the class.
"I am Washu Hakubi, the Greatest Scientific Genius of the Multiverse!"
"Self proclaimed. Universe maybe...Yours at least, not here, not now. Even if you are a God sometimes, or is that a third of a God...Not important either way.", said the Doctor blankly.
Washu glared at the man who found the wall much more interesting to observe at the moment.
"Want to run that by me again."
With a smile, the Doctor clasped his hands and rubbed his palms together.
"Anyway class lets get started, who can tell me what a multiverse is?", asked the Doctor.
The students looked around at each other before a few raised their hand. The Doctor nodded.
"Good, quite a few of you, now put your hands down this is a lecture.", said the Doctor as the students lowered their hands.
"A Multiverse is a grouping of parallel universes, each universe is held together by its own fundamental laws, which are not always the same between universes. This is something most people already know. The omniverse, or the all, is the totality of existence, composed f every individual multiverse. It is composed of infinite dimensions, or planes. These dimensions is a property of a universe, extending in any given direction, when combined with width and height and time, these dimensions make up a universe, though some universes have more dimensions, some have less...Like Flatland.", said the Doctor.
"There are only 22 known dimensions, in my multiverse.", said Washu.
"Yes, and thus we come to an example of divergence. Thank you Washu."
"...Wait! What! I was just making a point. Did you use me as an example in my own class?"
"Our class...So anyway, Washu here is an interesting case, her own little multiverse is composed of 22 known dimensions, though this is not the case in every multiverse. Dimensions are a strange lot. God like beings, like Washu...sometimes, or Azathoth for example are higher dimensional entities. These beings are essentially the highest authority of their own respective multiverse. They aren't really that, but if it makes you feel better they are exactly that.", said the Doctor.
"Helpful.", said Washu sarcastically.
"Oi, I'd like to see you do better. Anyway...", said the Doctor before Washu interrupted him.
"Gladly, now then..."
"What!", said the Doctor suddenly as he looked over to Washu.
"As I was saying, Each higher dimension is infinitely greater than the preceding dimension, and each universe has its own signal to it. A harmonic resonance unique to that universe, on smaller scale, every living thing has a unique frequency. Think of it like a fingerprint, only with an infinite amount of possible combinations, this frequency can be considered the self, the possible combinations of frequencies are greater than the sum of the omniverse, effectively making it the greater infinity.", said Washu.
"Yeah, there are lesser and greater infinities, don't focus on that so much. It will save you a lot of headache.", said the Doctor.
"Regardless, it is through these vibrations that the HUB can do what it does, the Xenith station can attune the frequency of the universe to match other laws as is required.", said Washu.
"Essentially, its is a giant tuning device, able to ensure that the various harmonic frequencies do not overlap, or cancel out one another. Most people carry around them a field of their own laws of physics, so if you were from a universe with magic and enter a universe without magic, you could still do magic, the question is can you do anything with it to anyone else. Well yes and no. Throw a fire ball at someone and you can light them on fire, try possessing them or doing something that requires them to have magic isn't happening.", said the Doctor.
"What makes the HUB so interesting, is that it can edit the universe to have any laws it needs. It can have multiple similar laws at the same time that effect you based on location or what rules you obey. It can be localized. Take a planet from somewhere and its laws will be a mirror of its universe, but a certain radius away from that planet, HUB laws take effect, and HUB laws can be very selective. Two locations within this universe may not be following the same rules of everywhere else, there is no way to know unless you are there, but it is happening.", said Washu.
"So to recap, we all are currently within a self correcting tuning device that functions not unlike a computer and where time does and does not move at the same time.", said the Doctor.
"I don't think we covered time yet.", said Washu.
"Really, could have sworn we did...Well, lets get on that. I'll take this one. Time is my specialty."
"Don't care. Do your little lecture.", said Washu.
"Alright then. Now time from a non-subjective non-linear standpoint is like a ball of timey-wimey stuff. Change something on the ball and something somewhere else also changes, even if it seems unrelated and was before the change was made. The HUB is a bit different. Time here isn't a ball, isn't a line, isn't even a circle, its a dot. Just a dot, doesn't go anywhere. We are frozen between seconds. As I speak, time appears to be moving, in actuality some unusual magical quantum thing is going on. Here there is no past, nor future. Only present, a continuing present, but still a present. It appears to move, but past and future don't actually exist. There is only now. This is the reason other universes cannot branch from this one, we have cause and effect, but its happening at the same time on a technicality.", said the Doctor.
"And we have no idea how it works.", said Washu with a sigh.
"Nope, none at all. We're all just immortal and unaging. Time can pass on a small level, though its more like a localized effect than anything else. You'll age if you are at a certain age, but not beyond that. Near as we can tell, its similar to some forms of magic, powerful magic that doesn't seem to be one taken from another universe, it is artificially made. In essence, whatever species built the HUB, did so by creating it's own law of physics from scratch. ", said the Doctor.
"This is also why the HUB is so difficult to find, its unique. One among infinity. Every other world just kinda makes more of itself with a few different variables thrown into the mix.", said Washu.
"And that is the end of our lesson.", said the Doctor with a smile.
"Tomorrow, the Doctors friend Captain Jack Harkness will discuss the mechanics of you finding an alternate version of yourself and deciding to have a romantic or sexual relationship. Is it Incest or masturbation. Find out next week.", said Washu with a smile.
The Doctor nodded before what Washu said fully registered in his mind an he turned his head so fast to her that his neck cracked.
"What"
"Did you think that was a joke?", asked Washu.
"...What!"
"Yep, asked him myself. He agreed to do it. I heard he has flashcards."
"WHAT!"
"Oh yes. And you will be there Doctor.", said Washu with a smirk.
"...WHAT!"
Washu continued to stare at the Doctor as her smirk morphed into a shit eating grin. The Doctor could only groan.
A/N: No that will not really be the next chapter. It is a joke. This chapter was just so I could info-dump the rules of this thing, without actually making a codex like chapter.
