OMG, it’s after 1 a.m. and I’ve pretty much wasted the day, got high, spent a lot of time on facebook, worked a little bit on a poem I’m writing which came to me kind of all at once but, between general concept and actual words on paper there is a gulf, and no bridge across it except the one you build yourself.
The idea is to use a sort of a double dactyl rhyme scheme (without all the other double dactyl rules, which are damned near impossible to adhere to) to write about the grandfather paradox of time travel, and the multi-verse theory which would smooth out that paradox, and how if there are multiple alternate universes, (which probably means an infinity of alternate universes), and we just haven’t discovered them yet, then civilizations who are more advanced than us by millions or even billions of years (because yes, the universe (this universe) is that old) will have discovered it by now and perfected the means of traveling from one to the other, just like in Sliders, which was a really brilliant concept for a sci-fi series but suffered from bad writing and bad acting. Perhaps it’s just me, but there’s something I don’t like about Jerry McConnell, and I don’t know what it is. The rest of the cast were pretty lame, too.
So, somewhere in this specific galaxy, the one we are actually, currently in, there are species who are hopping in and out of these other realities with greater ease than we have even getting beyond our own atmosphere, and someday we’re going to run across them, and there are alternate realities where we already have.
