Fascinating. Absolutely astonishing. That there could be so many worlds within breathing distance of one another, so close they might rub elbows and never even know it - and to think that it's possible to interact with these worlds, to explore and to be a part of them.

I am quite interested, though, in your theory about the quantum states of consciousness. Something very similar was proposed in the 21st century, as an addendum to the theory of infinite universes, but I'm not sure I've ever heard it quite put this way. Consciousness itself not only in multiple universes, but a function of multiple universes - the brain acting as a sort of quantum computer, in flux between different projecting states at any given time. The greater the imagination, the further in between the universes the mind can reach, touch, and understand.

It has a lot of romance to it, that I'll admit.

Well, I would be happy to be quantum-entangled with you. "Control" is such a fuzzy concept in times like this, isn't it?

Well, you sure are taking this better than more people, I will admit.

[deltaquadrant]

I'm not the panicking type.

[isahumanbeing]

More the thinking it through type, I gather.

[ex_innovating353]

I do believe that's the best description I've heard of this current state of affairs yet.

[deltaquadrant]

I'd like to set my crew on it. I think the results would be fascinating.

[Interested in strange new life? Here is a pack of wolf-like creatures speaking perfect English with a sourceless voice.]

Oh! Are you new to finding aliens as well?

[deltaquadrant]

Oh.

[ She crouches down, to put herself on their level, and also because she's fascinated. ]

Hello there. No, I'm not new to alien life. Not at all.

[with_discipline]

Fascinating does seem to be the appropriate word. [She's certainly curious, at least.]

Though 'romance' is not a term I would assign to it. [Science cannot be romantic, does not compute.]

[deltaquadrant]

'Romantic' in the sense that it favors elegance and beauty of explanation over rational proof.

[super_spidering]

I think you broke my mun a little bit. She won't stop flailing around.

[Not that she's doing much better because Penny is a proud, card carrying nerd, and it's Captain Janeway.]

((OOC: Oh gosh wow just wanted to stop and compliment you because reading that I could literally imagine it all in Janeway's voice. A++ job))

[deltaquadrant]

Is that theory one she especially favors?

[ ooc | thank you! :D ]

[couldnt_kahless]

Considering all the trouble we have with universes and multiples thereof, I'm not sure trying to interact with them is the best plan, Captain.

[deltaquadrant]

B'elanna, I wouldn't be much of an explorer if 'troubles' scared me off.

Janeway! Yay! I wish I had a Voyager muse now,

[lurkerwolf]

[... That went over Derek's head quite a bit. Science isn't his strong point.]

That's not the way I would put it.

[deltaquadrant]

How would you put it?

[logistical]

It is indeed fascinating. [BECAUSE SCIENCE.] However, 'romance' may be a hasty conclusion.

[deltaquadrant]

Oh? How so?

[sustenance]

Captain, while I am familiar with the work you're referencing, I am also familiar with the work of following decades spent disproving it. [ Is that a wry smile? Maybe. If you stand on your head and squint. ] Perhaps you shouldn't be making quantum-entanglements just yet.

[deltaquadrant]

But we must remember, Tuvok, that what was proven in our world to be true, on a quantum level, may not apply to another universe - or multiverse - where the laws of existence could be different from the bottom up.

[you_exist_here]

It's good to see the news of your loss was greatly exaggerated, Captain Janeway.

[deltaquadrant]

So it was, Captain. And you wouldn't believe what we've been doing in the meantime.

[routemistress]

This'd be why me own specialty's quantum organics, lovely. Among other things.

[deltaquadrant]

Quantum organics. That must be a very challenging and rewarding field.

[no_exaggeration]

'Quantum-entangled.' You do have a way with words, Captain.

[deltaquadrant]

Those were her words, not mine.
