Neutrons propelled into other universes!

[tuftears]

Apparently you may be able to zap neutrons into another universe... This is relevant to Avatars because, as our characters have discovered, the story hinges on virtual realities being somehow windows into other universes... Thus the appearance of creatures from those other universes, or the disappearance of people from this universe into those worlds. The above is less promising than the headline sounds, unfortunately, since you basically have a very, very low chance for any individual neutron to get propelled into another universe, and even if you got one over the wire, well, it's a neutron, what can you do with it? But still... What if you really did have the chance to step into an alternate universe? Wouldn't you be curious enough to peek?

I agree with you there, with one corollary: this works only for those who live in liminal space, between the real worlds and the glittering energy of the Net. I like to think that some of the echoes of what I've done will live out there -- and that echoes of the ancient Egyptians and others still live out there.

I am, however, a closet romantic.

Good word regards 'liminal space'-- wish I'd been aware of it before, I might have adjusted how I'd described some things in the Avatars 2.0 campaign. ^_^

Of course, in a multiverse of infinite universes, there's one where you ARE naked in English class.

You can always go back and retcon the logs. ;D
