The multiverse is a concept that's been discussed where I come from too. I'm not sure of the science behind it or how it works, but it's certainly been theorised plenty.

Is there a reason you're putting this together in the first place? Or is that top secret?

[scienceofthearcane]

We know that it is possible for alternate universes to meet and intersect, Folmore is proof of that. Young Peter Parker explained why he called Folkmore a Nexus World. Which means there is more than one of them. My colleague is building a device that would facilitate matter going from one universe to another. I do not know if that would mean a living human.

If the ideas of one universe could be implemented in a completely different universe, imagine the possibilities. The knowledge that could pass between them could save thousands. Or it could mean protecting a single important person. Even simpler things like the arts could become distributed far and wide in more than just one universe.

Since it involves one reality interacting with another it would have to be something that's done with just energy. In the world that I am from there are two things that can be perceived by us humans but is still able to be in many universes at the same time. We call it the Arcane but it's really just a kind of magical energy. The catch is it could be incredibly dangerous if the wrong person used it. The whole planet of Runeterra, where I am from, was very nearly destroyed by it in the past.

You're right, it would be incredible if possible, though I imagine it would take plenty of testing, trial, and error.

I wonder if Thirteen would let it happen too. It would have to bypass her magic here, wouldn't it?

[scienceofthearcane]

That is why we would need exact coordinates. I am aware it would be something that would be a long-term project to sift through the stories of the many representatives from different worlds, and I do hope to involve Thirteen at some point.

I do so enjoy learning about different worlds though, so I'm happy to help however I can. There are already so many I've heard about over the past... almost two years.

[scienceofthearcane]

Yes, I know you do. You seemed the ideal candidate for this research

[spktr]

I'm grateful you thought of me. I'm not great with all the sciencey bits but I know you've got that part more than covered. Tedious research is my favourite!
