IN THE BEGINNING...

I first began my study of the multiverse ten years ago. My background includes PhDs in Theoretical Engineering, Applied Philosophy, and Mass Media Accountability. Up until then, I’d been making a tidy living doing freelance science for foreign conglomerates. When I stumbled upon the multiverse theory, it clicked in my mind as nothing ever had. I immediately faked my death, severed all of my foreign ties, and began work studying the nature of the ever expanding, repeating, everything.

After several rudimentary experiments with a duck, a trombone, and an echo chamber of my own design, I soon learned that, yes indeed, there were realities adjacent to our own. I became obsessed with the idea of exploring them further. I never even attempted to measure the infinite variation, and instead focused on zooming into one or several alternate dimensions. Hopefully I could make contact with an Earth very much like our own, and expand the reach of known science. I also wanted to check out some of my own cool “What If”s.

Several ducks later, I spent the last decade of my life’s work, and all of my foreign conglomerate cash, to create the first interdimensional shortwave radio. I won’t go into details on the schematics, (still printing the patent pending application), but I managed to tune into another level of frequency. Now it can only access one “station” and it’s not even a station, so much a mixed up jumble of words and sounds. My preliminary observation says that this signal is only from one alternate universe, but I’m learning more about it every day.

I’ve recorded and transcribed the reports coming out of the device, and I hope to compile them to learn something more of this distant land. I’ve decided to publish them here in blog form, both to share my scientific findings, and just in case something from over there resonates with what we’re doing here. Maybe we can learn about ourselves at the same time. Or, it could just turn out there’s a universe that’s having a harder time with this life than we are.

Sincerely,
