Voxophone 4/?? - Voice

[A strange experiment, Robert thinks, but he's grateful for it. It allowed for a demonstration of the capabilities of the world to Rosalind without providing an experience that might have injured her. Better, certainly, than his own first encounter with such things.

Now that it is is passed, though, they can resume their work.

It's the middle of the afternoon when he opens the Journal again. He's used it as a sort of voxophone before -- storing his thoughts and sharing them with others. There is no reason not to do it now.]


It remains my theory that this world we reside in does not exist parallel to other worlds but is, in fact, a tangent world, crossing many universes with many timelines at a metaphorical angle. [If it ran parallel, in his experience, there might be accounting for the variations on one particular world -- and it was still possible that everyone here was merely from extreme variations of the same world -- but not inconsistencies in timeline. A Booker DeWitt who stepped out of July 12th, 1912 would arrive in the world of Columbia on July 12th, 1912.

A tangent line, however, could take, for this example, a DeWitt from July 12th, 1912; an Elizabeth from February, 1909; a Rosalind from October 19th, 1899. It had not, but it answered for how such things -- as had been observed in their own case in a small way and in others' in much more noticeable strides -- happened.]


It is even possible that, rather than in a particular time or place, this "Luceti" occupies some stable portion of the possibility space. [If the possibility space was an infinite as he and Rosalind believed, then it, like worlds, contained infinite possibilities. A pocket of it might well house them now.] This would account for the variable nature of the world -- the ability to alter time, perception, and even the permanency of death.

There is no way to test this theory save to attempt to recreate our machine and access the Lutece Tear, so we are resolved.

Such technology is far beyond that which we are capable of. ...the other universe, however, perhaps they-- But, no...They would have used something like that to save themselves already if that were the case.

Although a pocket universe would account for the strange physics, the time distortions and the sky. ...Perhaps all the worlds colliding here have created a new sky, an- an amalgamation of all the skies from the various worlds represented?

With time and space bending along with the laws of physics, it is entirely possible we are seeing stars not seen for millennia! It could be that this is the... the meeting point of all possible pasts, presents and futures. The ultimate alternate universe, one which--

[Oh no. Oh no no no no no. If this is the end result of everything, then he can't be here alone. If he were here alone, without having solved his own world's problems, then something--]

Catastrophic... The ripples of our absences could cause what is happening here to happen in our home universes.

Pocket universes - time here could be faster then. It only seems as if our absences are unnoticed because while years pass here, seconds pass there. Most normal people could just blink that away and pretend to ignore it.

...Distasteful. Their machinery. Their methods. I'd need to see them up close - I can't form a hypothesis without seeing the data.

[Ugh, it makes him so mad.]

And thus we are stuck in limbo until then. I need data and there is none! You would think the people here could have found something they would share with us. We're scientists, this is what we do.
