In 1935 Albert Einstein, and a couple of colleges Boris Podolskv and Nathan Rosen teamed up to settle the validity of quantum physics. The trio was not happy with the theory atomic particles being two places at the same time influencing each other at a distance. So the theory went research had had shown evidence particles of the atom namely the outer orbiting particles of the atom called electrons had the characteristics of being in a split personality specially irksome for the trio communicating with each clear across the other side of the universe. Clearly it was a violation of nothing can exceed the speed of light, which was the main part of the argument.
A word war one German astronomer serving as a field gunner at the time Karl Scwartchirld came across a magazine publishing Albert Einstein's General theory of relativity the latest paper predicting matter bends space. Schwarzchirld's curiosity was aroused to be inspired to work out how heavy a celestial body had to be to absorb a 100% of light. In doing so he had had solved an aspect of Einstein's General therery
Schwartzchild sent a repot to Einstein's in his option predicted the current mass of the earth heavy enough to crush itself to centimeter sphere to do the job. For this to work with the sun it's mass had to be heavy enough to collapse itself to 3cm across called singularities since, seen as the very center of dark stars we know as black holes today.
The black void of no light hides the singularity the perimeter called an event horizon where there is a point of no return. It wasn't till the 1970's a New Zealand scientist Graum Ker realized there must be a zone round the event horizon where light could still escape called the ergosphere that triggered a renewed intense interest in black hole theory. In effect Einstein and Schartzchild had predicted a singularity in theory could sink a deep well in space.
When Einstien, Podolskv and Rosen investigating ways of discrediting quantum physics soon realized if a Schwarzchird singularity near another the two wells could link forming a bridge though space spurning the idea of a the legendary wormhole expressed as the Einstien Poloski Rosen bridge.
An intense interest in what may lay on each side oft he bridge lead to the theory of parallel universe or often known as alternative realities a hypothetical or fictional self-contained separate parallel world paralleling one's own reality. Speculation of many lead to the term "multiverse" the term "parallel universe being more general. Parallel universes is where the laws of nature identical except for a few minor details. Quantum interpretation takes the action at a distance of the sub atomic particles as "universes that have been separated from each other by a single quantum event."
NBC TV studios inspired by the many worlds theory theme of Einstein's general theory created a science fiction series called the sliders. The pilot premiered in 1995 about a university graduate student experimenting with the possibilities an antigravity device that could revolutionize heavy lifting. The idea hinged on Einstein's General relativity that predict a fast nose diving aircraft NASA uses all the time in training astronauts in Weightlessness. If descends fast enough becomes an antigravity devise in it's own right just as Einstein saw as a cancellation of gravity he expressed as gravitational equivalence Quinn Mallory had picked up on.
Instead of an antigravity grab device Mallory got more than he bargained for. The machine open up the holly grail of cosmology a wormhole entrance right before his eyes. The plot predicted Mallory had unwittingly discovered some exotic way of creating a wormhole. it began Quinn waking up one morning reflecting on an antigravity experiment he was running the night before.
Wondering into the kitchen his mother was up pottering round with breakfast. A conversation about his father revealed he was very close that had died when Quinn was only seven missing his father very much.
After motherly fussing Quinn wondered down stares to the basement that looked more like a science lab then a typical student's study. He reached for a video cassette pushing it into the machine sitting in an armchair. The TV screen reveled a video diary of his antigravity experiment working watching his own descriptive chronology of his experiment. The TV screen showed a roaring midd air whirlpool watching himself and listing to his video dairying of his experiment with a camcorder in a hurricane force winds
Pondering on his antigravity experiment he reached out and took a framed photo pose of himself and both parents reflecting how much he missed his father. Realizing he was going to be late for his lecture he replaced the photo and hurriedly shut down the video replay and and went back up stares, hurriedly snatching a bite to eat from the breakfast table. Down the front walk he went opening the front gate that squeaked closing it. He jumped into his car and set off to campus. At the campus Quinn paused by a well known and harmless homeless guy raving on about the end of the world coming with a accusing finger at him. Quinn humored for a minute with light hatred banter before hurrying off late for class running past the familiar statue of President Lincoln.
In the lecture room a professor at a scientific scribbled math's formulae blackboard one of the stares of the New Zealand movie Lord of the Rings John Ryes-Davies, playing the part of, Maximilian Arturo, showing his annoyance Quinn was late for class again. Quinn humbly apologized seating in his chair. When he explained he was onto something interesting to class there was much excited debate among the students much to the annoyance of the professor constantly trying to keep his students focused on his lecture.
After scolding Quinn and trying to keep his student in check in van for ten minutes, he'd finally had enough. Totally disgusted, Arturo dismisses the class and stormed out of the lecture hall. As the class broke up Quinn headed off to his part time Job at a personal computer sales store. There he discussed with his best friend and coworker wade wells and with much dubious belief by coworkers about his antigravity experiment. When his time was up he made tracks back home to his basement.
There he settled down to more reflecting, studying and pondering staring at his scientific scribed blackboard full of scientific formulae trying to see a Patten that could describe his experiment. He cranked up his experiment once more. Chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it went spreading from a small point opening several meters wide looking like some midd air water whirlpool roaring and sucking at the basement atmosphere like a giant air conditioner. He stood for a moment half flapping before walking round behind it.
He passed behind doing a complete circle checking where the tunnel was disappearing to. What was his antigravity experiment creating ? The roaring midd air vortex collapsed in on itself with a Shawormph! leaving a normal and quiet basement environment behind. His experiment had somehow managed to reproduce something. He started it again. Chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it went expanding wide open pulling on the air. Qunnin did some more running complementary though his video view finder reporting what was happening. It collapsed inward on itself closed with a shawrrrrrrmph.
After a while he began realizing what this midd air vertex was. It was a quite a surprise. Had Quinn's antigravity experiment had somehow created a singularity in his basement here on earth? Mallory excitedly cranked up his machine again. With a chuuoorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! produced the vortex roaring like a hurricane. Studying it he observed as much as he could before the vertex collapsed with shawormph! on itself again. He considered testing the stable entrance placing objects through it.
Placing a beach ball at the foot of the mouth it snatched it disappearing into the center closing on it with shawormph! After a few minutes waiting while he studied scientific filed equation blackboard he started the machine again. With a chroorarrrrrr on opening the hole in mid air roared away like a tornado. The ball soon shot back across his basement. Retrieving it he reflected what he was holding.
"Where had theses objects been"?
Some investigative thinking staring at the scientific formulae scribbled blackboard again he soon saw a pattern written in the mathematics'
"What's holding open the vortex? Antigravity maybe? Power!! But why not for long?"
He soon realized their was a drain on the household power while holding the roaring vertex open then quickly run down until it could not hold it open any longer. Anybody familiar with on the road with laptop batteries know the feeling as they automatically shut themselves down when the batteries are to flat. Observing the behavior of the formula he realized there was a timing pattern.
Quinn soon realized his machine was automatically recharging back enough power he could restart the vortex again. He considered sending his believed cat but thought of it again reluctant in case his feline panicked on the other side never seeing her again. Eventually he considered trying it himself. Soon his confidence in taking the plunge was growing. With much reflection and self arguments for the pros and cons he considered jumping into the wormhole To satisfy his curiosity he set to work on a electronic hand held trimming device to count down when the time was right to open the vertex to get back home. With the timer in his hand he pressed the timer bottom. With a chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! the vertex opened expanding to full size in front of him.
Finally he took the plunge. He dived into the vortex disappearing into the center. It collapsed behind him with a shawromph! The basement quite and deserted, then the chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! went the vertex expanding open from a point of light to full size. Out shot Quinn yelling at the top of his lungs somersaulting landing on his back on the floor. Picking himself up he examined his surroundings the vertex still roaring away open. Then it collapsed in on itself with a shawromoph He studied where he was for some time taking in the very familiar surroundings. Looking back at the point where the vertex opened although he experienced sliding something incredibly unique apparently he never left this world.
What every the reality he defiantly slid something. It seemed what ever it was it seem to have been a one eighty degrees vertex taking him straight back to his own basement.
Considering linking to another world was a failure he tidied up before setting off back to university. Outside he looked back to his front porch were everything about his house exactly the same as he remembers it, even his own car parked on the curb. As he opened the gate he paused with a curious frown. Strange, there wasn't the familiar squeak when he opened it. Oh well, dismissing their hired gardener may have fixed it he closed the gat jumping into his car. Approaching an intersection deep thought he ran a green light. To his suppressed motorists reacted the way we do when some one runs a red light on us at a intersection. With screeching of tires cars nearly collided pulling up to sharp stops all over the intersection inches from each other.
Screeching to a stop himself avoiding an accident he looked out the window in amazement at the behavior of the other motorists road raging abuse at him and driving round tooting their horns as they drive on though red lights and waited at greens. It was then he realized he must have landed on another world after all. It was a mirror image of his own world. With excitement he realized he'd just slid an singularity or the holly grail Einstein/Roseburg bridge. After getting over the shock he excitedly u-turned careful to stop at green lights and run red lights back to his parallel world home.
Waiting at a green light he happened to spot a billboard advertising a current Elvis Presley gig. In his world Elvis had died over twenty years ago. He hugged the wheel amused wonder peering though the cars windscreen. His radio was blaring a talkback show host interviewing John Kennedy. Shaking his head in wonder he drive on finally pulling up to his parallel world home. Opening the gate he stopped short at the sight of his mother arm in arm escort style with the hired Gardner. It appeared as his mum was married to him for some time. During a confused conversation he heard a quiet beeping in his pants pocket.
Realizing it was him he whipped out the timer seeing the sixth digit was counting down to zero 00.00.05, 00.00.04, 00.00.03, 00.00.02, 00.00.01 then all six 0's roiled like an electronic bulls eye gambling machine several times With a chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! the vertex opened behind him snatching him disappearing backwards into it closing with a Shawormoph! The next thing he lands flat on his in his basement the wormhole collapsing closed with Shawromph! much to the frightened astonishment of his cat.
It took him a minute to gather his bearings before he realized where he was back home. With great joy he bounded up stares to check his mother wasn't married to the gardener kissing her on the forehead racing outside. In euphoria he hugged the grader who was suppressed, and oh joy the gate squeaked when he opened it. He Jumped back into his car and raced off to campus to tell everybody what happened to him. After all not everybody gets to ride an Einstein/Rosenberg's bridge to another world.
The answer comes from world the famous Alert Einstein in his theory of gravitational equivalence in the General theory of reality published during world war one. Lets review the basics.
World war 2 dive bombers is a good place to start. Over the beaches during the British evacuation at Dunkirk in late May 1940 German Stukas harassing the British troops screamed down in vertical nose dives up to as much as several 100kmph. Einstein would have explained his general theory tells us there would be so much pressure pulling back on the aircraft at such a high velocity vertical dive as those explaining why the pilots where at risk of blacking out before they could they could level out we express as the G-force properties active in each dive.
NSA has been putting Einstein's gravitational equivalence into practice for the last several decades training astronauts in weightlessness. If a plan nose dives fast enough trainee astronauts lift off the floor frolicking about in weightless fun. As Einstein put it high speed acceleration cancels gravity. In effect the fuselage inside NAS's planes become antigravity devices. And the opposite also holds true.
If the plane climbs upwards fast enough the floor will seem to press against the astronauts pinning them to it as if they were in a stronger gravity. This is what Mallory had seen as a potential use for an antigravity product in the hope of revalorizing heavy lifting.
Einstein must have realized the connection of Isaac Newtown's "Were there is a force, ( a velocity ) there is an equal and opposite force applied" law. Take acceleration from 0 to a distance of a160km ( 100 mile ) in a second. ( Anybody into challenging mathematics can work out the kmph ).
We don't need to be Einstein's to immediately think of a G-force property. Think of to a stop in the same second. At take off we would experience many kilograms of weight pulling us back and pushing us forward when we decelerate to a stop. Normal Rolla coaster speeds is enough to tell us that. In other words resisting acceleration and deceleration called inertia. Imagine the "Gs" accelerating to light speed and stop in a second.( A distance of just under 300,000km by the time we say "One thousand and one").
Acceleration to a stop in a distance of160km we can likely observe Einstein's special theory of relativity time dilution of the environment. The first few milli seconds ( Standard metric system prefix milli for a thousandth second ) would start to get longer and longer the faster we go. Eventually the environment's milliseconds would be slowed down to seconds ,then minutes in 80km. ( 50 miles ).
Then when we decelerate to a stop in the next 80km in the next half environment second things are in reverse. The slower we go the faster time speeds up. Every environment minute we we observing gets faster and faster eventually back to miliseconds. When we finally stop we find ourselves a second into the future160km away from where we started.
Obviously Mallory's invention could not travel to do the job of motion. Duplicating Einstein's gravitational equivalence to cancel gravity round a body. Instead had to be invented Instead Mallory got more than he bargained for.
The air we breath is made up of molecule compounds of hydrogen and oxygen molecules made up of atoms held in place by according to Isaac Newton the earth's mass ( Gravity ) and according to Einstein the compression of space according to the earth's mass.
The clue to how Mallory's turbine managed to stumble on a portal is found in the Periodic table of the elements. It is a chart specifying atoms making up the molecules of every element known to man including the air we breath, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. Reading the Periodic table tells us the dimensions our our universe depends on a atomic weight consisting of a number of orbiting rings ,made up of particles called electrons in each orbit, and a number of particles in the center called protons and neutrons nesting together in the core.
The modern interpretation atoms are no longer seen as the smallest piece of matter because discoveries have found made up of fundamental particles. They are not solid point particles we imagine them to be but the the dense electron rings as thick as an atmosphere are energy spheres racing round the central core.
The particles behave the same way as magnetic field interaction with each other. At each end of every magnet is a north and south seeking filed. Like poles repeal each other and unlike attract. We all have experienced playing round with toy magnets. It is the unlike ends that we experience clinging the magnets together. If we apply the opposite ends ( like poles to gather ), experience a repelling push.
Operating on the principle electrons repel electrons. So too, protons repel protons. Electrons are attracted to protons just as unlike poles of magnets do. It is believed neutrons don't react to protons or electrons in any way.
The forces of the electron orbits is relatively week ( expressed as an electrical force the unlike repel and like attract law on the electrons the very mechanics of basic electricity current flow ) compared to the forces holding the center particles together like a supper glue force expressed as strong nuclear force. It takes crashing the nucleus together close to light speed in research particle accelerators to separate the particles.
The current specifications of each atom is the result of their creation after the big bang that has supposed to have created our universe. According to Quantum physics was by chance. If the atomic weight of just one atom was different our would be a different dimension.
Gold and diamond for example are very rare elements why they are so valuable. Iron is much more common If the atomic number was different even by a single digit could changed whole balance dramatically. The universe could have been very different.
Classical physics tell us the energy mater is in the back and forth vibrations of the particles of the atom. Each particle moves to a peak slows down to a stop to reverse direction then speed back up to the opposite direction slowing down to a stop to reverse direction repeating the cycle. The cycle is represented by a graphic sine wave.
The universe is not an empty vacuum. A huge wave front travels the universe making up the comic radiation known as the electromagnetic radiation radiating from every star in a giant sheet of energy including light every second. Varies frequencies range from a wavelength as long a kilometer to as short as the distance across a human hair trillions of times every second.
Quantum physics tells us a different story. perhaps the most troubling aspect for most of us is the notion of superposition the idea of a particles existing in two states at once. If particles move a distance of a Planck length in a Planck second can solve the problem. First we need to definite a Planck
A Planck is a minus constant, 40 decimal 0's, 6, 2, 6 ( or a 43 decimal number ) of a meter. Scaled down to micrometer ( the thickness of a common news paper sheet ) 32 decimal 's a total a 35 decimal number. A Planck length is this value particles move in the Planck second. Like light speed constant that nothing is faster a Planck length is a constant nothing is shorter and a Planck second equally a constant nothing faster.
Mathematics tells us the reciprocal is the same number of 0's on the right of the same 6, 2, 6 resulting in the positive value number times in a second. Nothing can have a frequency any faster than 6, 2, 6, 40, 0's per second.
At such incredible velocity to move a Planck length in a Planck second electrons are renowned for disappearing from an orbit reappearing in another. Since they are identical we can't tell where each one has reappeared to because every electron is identical doing the same thing. A single electron as any other can be any other orbit anywhere the positive value of the Planck second in a second. The point is as each electron disappears it reappears in another orbit quantum physicists termed quantum jumping.
The end result of looking identical electrums appear to be in the illusion of the same places at the same different places at the same time. Since every electron in the universe is identical to every other, an electron in this part of the universe will appear as if the electron was clear across the other side of the universe which it's not. Indeed every corner of the universe all at the same time. This is why the argument faster than light speed is not necessary needed in quantum because the electrons are not communicating the why we think faster than light. The argument of the spooky action at a distance is not needed.
This identical characteristic can be the root of what happens to electrons one side of the universe almost identical patens every part of the universe at the same time. It's possible worlds with parallel physics attribute to our world all over the universe.
The whole universe and us is made up of this quantum jumping dance of atomic particles. This means as electrons are identical would seem like an identical dance this part of the world would seem nearly identical the other side of the world indeed the whole universe in this state of this quantum dancing at the same time.
In effect the sliders answers the age old question are we alone in the universe as the story from the polite unfolds
Arriving late for the professors class again Mallory eagerly interrupted the professor in the middle of a lecture. The professor angrily told him he had a nerve to show back at class. Quinn stepped back a bit not understanding. Still, he was eager to talk to him about his discovery and eagerly persisted. Now the professor felt Quinn was mocking him and his theories. Quinn desperately tries to explain he wasn't. Quinn finally got though enough of the professors resistance to come to his house and see for himself. As the class bell rang the professor crumply dismisses the class and storms out of the lecture hall.
Not fully understanding what was going on with the professor, he heads off to his part time job. Arriving for work, Wade confronts him at what he's doing back here. A surprised Quinn replies he works here. She informs him the manager fired him a little while ago when he told him off. Quinn claims he didn't remember.
Then Wade asks if he doesn't remember the kiss either? Quinn was astonished wondering why he do that to his best buddy not believing the accusations thrown at to him. First he successfully created a Einstein/Rosenberg bridge then rode it to another world and back and then this.... all in one day? Wade walks off huffily on him leaving him flabbergasted. Quinn, still not understanding what's going on and since he'd been fired from his job he doesn't remember decides to head home.
He returns to his dark scientific lab witching on the light reflecting on the machine consoling himself nursing his cat surrounded by electrical coil windings. He wonders over to the formula scribbled blackboard and studies it for a minute. Then his face changed into a curious frown. He discovers his Einstein/Rosenberg bridge formula he was unable to finish altered. He doesn't understand it. At this point Quinn hears a slight stir and turns to look straight into the eyes of himself. Getting over the initial shock, Quinn's double seemed to be a bit of a brag revealing he was from a parallel world showing off he too experimenting with an antigravity machine turned into an Einstein/Rosenberg bridge.
Mallory confronting himself was this sc-fi adventure example of all of us must have doubles living alternative lives on alternate earth's showing we are not alone in the universe. The universe is plentiful alternative earth's and our doubles. In other words not aliens but humans scattered all over life in the universe.
Quinn's double revealed he'd visited his university and admitting he was the caused of the stir with his professor. Quinn learnt he was the one also responsible for kissing his wade as Quinn's double was married to Wade's double. To Quinn's relief it reveled why he was in so much trouble. Both spent ten minutes discussing and comparing their inventions, Quinn's double showing off and pointing out were this Quinn went with his formulae. Then it was time for Quinn's double to leave. Quinn's double opened the vertex. Chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it went, spreading from a small point to wide open. The noise was defining like the middle of a hurricane. Quinn's double tried to speak over the roar. But all Quinn could yell back pointing to one ear.
"I can't here you".
At that Quinn's double was snatched away disappearing into the vertex and was gone. Wade and the professor on Quinn's door step were concerned about about his strange behavior and obsession with his his invention. The professor rang the door bell. The door opened to revile Quinn's mum. The professor explained they were her to see Quinn. Invited inside there was much introduction pleasantries the professor meting one of his student's and Wade her coworker's mother.
Meanwhile a washed out 1960's black rhythm blues singer an X-member of a pop group getting ready for an expected solo come back. His manger hovering in the background was advising him of the potential disappoints if it was a failure and the consequences of going solo from his band.
Rembrandt Brown liked to think he was renowned for one of his particular favorite sad songs he was obsessed with he could bring tears to everybody's eyes when singing it calling himself Gyring man brown.
Back to Quinn's basement he was engrossed an electronic assembly of his timing device while Wade and the professor were coming down the basement stairwell still concerned about Quinn's odd behavior. When Quinn looked up from his job he was pleased to see them excitedly welcoming them in turning back to the finishing touches of his timer.
When the professor saw Quinn's formulae scribed blackboard complete with the solution to the Einstein/Roseburg bridge he was beside himself with admiration dismay. Quinn assembled the finishing touches of the timer he was assembling and excitedly showed the processor what he was holding was the key to get back home when visiting the other side of his Einstein/Rosenberg bridge.
Back to Rembrandt he comes out of his San Francisco apartment building to his big bright red Cadillac getting in and drive off down a San Francisco street.
Back In Quinn's Basement Quinn was eagerly ready to open the vertex much to the professors reluctance pausing a bit while the professor wasn't sure about it
Quinn pointed and pressed the timer button. Chuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it went spreading open. Wade and the professor blinked with surprise at a roaring, quivering vortex hole in mid air in front of them that seemed to be sucking the hole of the earth's atmosphere into it like some giant air conditioner. After they got over the initial shock at what they were witnessing before their very eyes Quinn asked what would they do with this opportunity to see what's on the other side. Wade beside herself exclaimed "You mean we can just like, slide though this and BOOM! we're on another planet"!!
"NO"! exclaimed Mallory. "Same planet! Different dimension"
What would you do if you had the opportunity to slide a wormhole to explore a different dimension? The professor was a very reluctant and unsure holding back. Wade was beside herself with excitement. As giddy as a little school girl over puppy love she talk them into jumping much to the professors arguments against it. The pair argued for and against to the backdrop of the roaring vortex. It took quite a bit a bit of persuasion to the reluctant Quinn and the professor, but she finally persuaded Quinn to let them try.
Meanwhile Rembrandt drive his a bright a red Pontiac convertible happily rhythm beating to his favorite crying man Brown song at the wheel.
"Oh yeaaaar baby. It's gonna be good"!
Back to basement the trio prepared themselves ready ride the vertex. Quinn had originally set the vertex to carry only one person. He had adjusted the power for three more people. Then at a one..... two....... three, count they let the vortex snatch them into it and they were gone. The vortex collapsed with a Shawormph!! and all were gone. All that was left was the scientific formulae scribbled blackboard in a deserted and silent basement.
Outside the side of Quinn's house, the roaring vertex expanded open to full wideness outside it's designated area. Rembrandt at the wheel of his car stiffened with a curious frown at a specter like circle at an intersection in front of him. In shocked surprise he saw as if the whirlpool spotted a pray changed turning straight towards him.
Over the front of the car bonnet he saw the roaring whirlpool mouth like a horror movie scene glide straight toward him. Yelling at the top of his lungs, frozen with fear at the wheel the car drove straight into the roaring mouth closing behind him with a Shawormmmmmph!! leaving a normal and deserted street behind.
Inside the vortex Quinn, the professor and wade sailed along in a sideways plane like falling from a high sky scraper at high velocity. The bright red convertible sailed past with the screaming crying-man Brown at the wheel narrowly missing them by inches. The Einstein/Rosenberg bridge was taking them on a wild twisting and snaking Rolla coaster ride.
A basement looking like something out of the a frozen neglected and deserted scene set. Chuaorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr a vertex expanded opening spreading wide from from a tiny spot in midd air. Out flew Rembrandt's red Cadillac convertible Brown yelling at the top of his lungs skipping across an ice frozen yard banging to an abrupt halt into a ice wall. Finally the professor and wade next. A moment later Quinn shot out just as the vertex collapsed inwards closing behind them with a Shaworrrrrrrrrrmph. Rembrandts car was quite for a moment. Then the cardiac door opened and out stepped brown into freezing snow. The professor, Quinn and wade, recovering their wits, could see they were not in a familiar environment.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph" said Arturo "I think I've just seen God and I could've sworn he was driving a Cadillac."
Wade had got her wish. The trio began exploring the parallel reality surroundings. Some candles were found lighting little islands of flickering light in the near darkness. For some time an interesting discussion about what could have happed and to all the occupants for about ten minutes or so. Wade found a crumpled photograph handing it to Quinn. He took the photo showing the same shot he had at home only with a strange girl and his pet dog he recognized. He explained the pet had died a while ago and didn't know anything about the girl in the picture.
Quinn and the professor discussed some scenarios of what could have happened to his family considering this frozen world.
Shivering Rembrandt blowing mist of warm air into cupped hands spotted an island of flicking candle light in the porch doorway of an ice covered house just ahead of him. When the professor, Wade and Quinn stepped out onto the porch they were shocked at the spooky panoramic view of San Francisco harbor complete with the Golden Gate bridge locked in ice with spooky dark storm clouds hanging over the whole city. Getting over the shock their attention was brought to the dazed forth traveler gathering his wits out side the house beside his car in an the snow yelling confused obscenities at the trio.
They joined Rembrandt who was demanding answers to what the hell was going. To keep warm it was suggested the canvas roof to be razed in place. As soon as canvas roof settled on the rim of the windscreen they all got into the car completing the four travelers. He was by now raving mad demanding to know who the hell these strangers where and what ever's happing to be returned home immediately. A discussion amid snapping tempers specially from the processor, trying to analyses the situation ensued. Soon they felt and heard something in the air by the change in air pressure.
To their horror they discovered the place was also full of tornados, the one they felt coming in screaming a whirlwind precariously close to the little group huddled in the convertible. The roof was lowered back everybody scrambling to stand on the back seat in the snow storm snapping at them so the vertex gravity could snatch them away to safety. Quinn fumbled at the timer pointing to the sky initialized it.
Chuaorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr went the vertex opening wide above them. One by one they got into position letting themselves be snatched up into the roaring hole in the air.
The vertex worked by the gravitational field of the next world it opened out in. The other word was pulling them. In other words falling into the vertex ( or in this case upwards). Again the ride was like a free fall down the side of a high sky scraper velocity in this case racing in along in a sideways plane.
The deep depth of a blue sky. Chuuarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr went the vortex spreading open. Out fell the professor landing heavily on his side rolling face up when Wade landed on him face down steering into each other eyes. Then it was Rembrandts turn. landing on his backside nearby. Picking themselves up there was a long pause as the vertex continued to roar still wide open above them. Where’s Quinn? There was a frightening long wait expecting the vertex to close any second without depositing him. The wait was becoming excruciating. Still the vertex remand open
Just when Wade was in tears at the shock of loosing Quinn to god knows what, not seeing him again. Then out fell Quinn, the vertex collapsing with a Shaworrrrrrrrrrrrph even before he hit ground landing hard face down on the grass.
All members were glad he was safe, specially wade. Quinn and wade hugged each other gratefully Rembrandt smiling like an ape in the background. Assuming they were all back home Rembrandt was still angry telling them off. He reminded Quinn he'd lost his car and not going to hang around and miss his singing appointment.
Spotting a taxi coming down the street he hailed down the cab promising to get back to Quinn about his favorite convertible. Meanwhile Wade said she was off to find a phone box to ring home to tell them about the adventure she had. She was confident she was going to have no problems with her family not believing her as Rembrandt Brown the crying man, Quinn and the professor would collaborate her story. So off she went.
Quinn and the professor set off discussing their next move when suddenly the professor pulled Quinn up short pointing up to the park statue of the historic Russian figure of Joseph Lennon of the Russian revolution fame during world war one.
It was then they realized the truth of were they were. This was another example of the abundance of life in the universes that our earth is only just one of untold millions of alternate earth's in the universe.
Wade inserted a coin in the phone booth trying to contact her family number witch didn't exit. Strange. When she came out she saw to her surprise the well known Russian hammer and cycle symbol above the door and the words in bold red capital letters in English
PEOPLE'S TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH
Meanwhile Rembrandt was telling the cab driver who he was and going too, while spotting the strange cab drivers identification passport which seemed a bit odd for a taxi cab driver. Still. The cab driver said he'd never heard of him.
Rembrandt frowned in indignation and puzzlement at the strange behavior of the cab driver specially when he suddenly pulled up abruptly and saluted stiffly in Russian military salute. Rembrandt looked curiously to the direction out the cab window to a political rally of the same homeless guy Quinn knew all to well suited like a businesses man shouting and ranting politically, flanked either side by two Russian solders.
Although Rembrandt didn't recognize him, Quinn, Wade and the professor passing by sure did. Still indignant Rembrandt had a few words to say puling out a dollar note from his trouser pocket flicking it handing it to the driver. The driver took the note examining it like someone spotting a countrified note when they see one. The driver hailed over a tough looking woman officer who's face peered in the window. The driver showed the note. The officer taking one look at it, Rembrandt found himself cringing in the back seat of a Taxi cab by a armed gang of Russian solders pointing guns menacingly at him though all windows.
Nearby wade had quietly disappeared and Quinn and the professor found themselves surrounded by what looked like a gang of menacing civilian detectives. Likely they were accosted by ungrounded resistance movement gang.
Quinn and the professor was chained hanging from a wall by their wrists unshackled and marched off under escort. They found wade unharmed and learnt wade's double was a martyr hereon leader killed in action in this world against Russian authority. It turned out everything in this world was opposite to the world Quinn and his group were used to. America was a communist country, actually a Russian Dominion.
Quinn, felt it strange his part time coworker in this world even though he knew she was only her double. It was clear one of the resistance fighters had a crush on wades double monitoring a live court room TV program in progress that turned out to be a sales personal coworker where the pair worked in their world.
And it was equally clear the resistance leader who rescued Quinn and the professor was wades double's lover who missed her dearly. Wade had convinced him where she and her group had come from.
Quinn insisted Rembrandt be reunited with the group. Casually watching the court room drama, Wade recognized the cab driver thinking nothing of it. Wades eyes pop out of her head in shock at who she saw in court.
She cried out to Quinn and the professor to come and have a look at this. Quinn and the professor came over just in time to see Rembrandt stepping into the defendant stand. On screen Rembrandt was made to swear the oath of truth and the cab driver did the same. Rembrandt was accused as criminal counterfeiter much to the shock of the Quinn wade and the professor. The group watch the proceedings unfold till the next case while outside the court room doors Rembrandt was intervened how he felt.
That was all it took for Qunnin, backed by the professor and Wade they now had to rescue Rembrandt. A plan of action was hatched. The professor looked the type to be General, while the others discussed themselves in various army officers and solders. They marched off to rescue Rembrandt from the caught room holding cell. At tense moment when the rescue group was challenged by a army unit where the professor bluffed his uniform authority to an officer which wasn't sure it was going to work until the intimated officer allowed them on.
Rembrandt was lead out of the cell pleading with a heartless officer when their was a attack. A major gun fight followed. After rescuing Rembrandt from the cell, Quinn though Wade had been killed. It turned out all right as wade appeared behind him. Turning round they immediately hug at each other.
When it was all over with much somber fanfare, a somber remembrance of their brave martyr was held while Quinn and the professor attended to the damaged timer. News of the wanted now reached the resistance a renewed urgency to escape. Quinn and the professor picked up the pace fixing the timer. Once ready to go they needed to be at the right coordinates which was Lennon’s statue a quarter kilometer away.
The resistance leader offered to hold up the search team to buying time. Soon our little group was on their way passing a homeless guy swigging at a bottle of cheep wine. With shock they recognized Quinn and Wades part time job boss sucking at a stubby cigarette. Getting over the shock they resumed their walk They heard the sound of the posy after them not far behind. Our group quickly broke into sprinted haste the pursuing squad gaining ground behind them. Reaching Lennon’s statue Quinn checked the timer finding it wasn’t quite timed out yet, only a matter of a few seconds left.
They Checked the pursuers behind them appearing only yards ahead. They weren’t going to make? Finally the timer could be initiated. Quinn hastily pressed the button pointing to a hedge. Chuarorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr went the vertex spreading open. There was no time to wait. One by one the sliders dived disappearing into the vertex. Wade and the professor laid sprawled in roses, with Rembrandt on his backside close by. Quinn come out head first as Shawormmmmmmph when the vortex closing behind him. When everybody picked themselves up they had landed at the feet the President Lincoln statue.
There was great rejoicing and laughing. Then they were ready to move on. Quinn stopped short the group. There sleeping under the Lincoln Statue was the homeless guy Quinn knew all to well.
"Nice to see you man" he said.
They saw a pair of headlights coming up the street a taxi they hailed down. Getting in was the same taxi driver that dubbed Rembrandt in the Russian American Domain world. In the corner of the back seat Rembrandt cringed panicky saying a few aggravated words at seeing who the taxi driver was. The driver wondered what was wrong with their friend to the rest of the Group. The professor looked at the diver as if to say that's a long story. Rembrandt check to see if the driver had heard of crying man brown.
"Year Sure! I know crying man brown!"
Rembrandt was happily pleased to hear that. Arriving at Quinn's address they got out, the professor paining off the driver the cab pulling away. There was tension when Quinn was about to check to see if his front gate squeaked. To all there relief it did. Wade and Rembrandt hug each other at the delight of Quinn and the professor behind. They went up the front porch stares Quinn opening the front door calling his mum announcing he was home. He didn't realize till a few episodes latter, prematurely initializing the timer before it was fully charged was a mistake.
It wasn’t until then he realized it was his double's warning he couldn't hear when he disappeared into the vertex in his world. Operating the remote control before it was fully charged corrupted original coordinates to their home world. When his mum came down the stares, he gave his mum the biggest cuddle he could please to see her. They went into the lounge where to reflect and disused the adventure they had riding Einstein/Rosenburg over drinks. Finally Quinn razed his glass of red wine in toast of his antigravity experiment. Just then there was the sound of the classing of the front door.
Everybody looked over to a man coming into the lounge. Quinn stood face solemn recognizing his father. His mother welcoming him in. Wade looked at Quinn with a Ohu-oh opps look on her face. Rembrandt and the professor's looks of disappointed realization. Quinn in shock just closed his eyes as if to block out the site, letting the the glass of red win fall crashing to the floor. To round of a TV screen displaying Rembrandt browns doing a live show on television. That was how the pilot ended. The pilot showed the vortex was controlled by Quinn's hand held TV like remote control device.
When fully charged quad could open the vortex. Just pointing and pressing of a button sent opening the vortex. Each time the portal was opened the self rechargeable was DC power supply battery arrangement source discharged flat. This left the quad forced to hang around each world until the power supply was charged enough to open it again. Quinn didn't realize until a few episode latter, what the warning of his double was. If the timer was prematurely incited it would corrupt the coordinates to get back home. This was what happened when trying to escape the approaching tornado in the Ice world.
Thus began the on going adventures of the sliders sliding from one world to the next hopping the next one would take them back home all throughout the series. The group meet their fare share of their doubles. In one episode the group landed on a world Wad's double married to another of Mallory's double living a alternative lives.
In this case the group landed just in time to pull the dead body of Quinn's double from a swimming pool. It turned out in this world Wade and Mallory's double's lives was centered round a Dallas like intrigue in fighting power struggle with friends wade's double trying to cover up she murdered here husband. There were lots of episodes where all landed in world where their doubles existed.
Another episode the sliders landed on a world were it was so close to their own yet only Quinn wasn't quite convinced. It turned out their doubles had disappeared in similar circumstances to their own this group mistaken for real doubles becoming celebrities.
The professor educated a grand audience of fascinated news media explaining the Einstein, Rosen Pulaski bridge he claimed had discovered himself. It wasn't till Wade discovered the golden gate bridge was blue did Rembrandt and the professor own up to having some inkling they weren't home.
After Walking with dinosaurs TV series Robert Winston took us back into our recent past to meat face to face with our ancestors in Walking with Cavemen. Fossilized remains showed several species of walking tall on two legs app like beings roamed central Africa. By the time the peak of the last ice age in Southern France existed sturdy Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon men cave dwellers highly suitable for age conditions now instinct species. At the same time in the equator in Africa humans as we knew today where also in danger of becoming instinct. In this earth we came thaaat close.
After the last ice age the central Africa humans was the only one left to survive splitting up to became our ancient Africans, to go on to become Britons to go on to create the famous Stone hinge in Scotland, Ancient Egyptians building the classic pyramids, the Ancient Greek and Romans temples of Europe, North American Mayans and Pacific island ancestors of the Ancient world.
Parallel universe theory tells our earth is just one of many millions of alternatives. Species that did not survive in our world survived and evolve the same time others did not. An Alternative example humans are instinct while one or the other Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon men or other any of the other species before them survived instead.
There are so many alternatives it's a inevitable a rule thump alterative realties. In theory alternative earth's humans are extinct in the cosmos earth's while while one or the other species or both Neanderthal and Cro-magmon men combination survived. Wonder how much of their technology would be parallel to ours on these alternative earth's.
The sliders landed in a world that was taken over by slider crow magmon men called crowmags at constant war with their human home world cousins for centuries. It is just as probable in other parts of the universe are equally Neanderthal verses human or Neanderthal, verse cro-magmon men or any of the other species and human combination.
The group landed on many worlds were their doubles didn't exit to only one member of the group. In One episode only Rembrandt browns double living an alternative Elliot Ness FBI detective existence of the famous 1950's TV series the Untouchables. Some worlds every member didn't exist and others existed even as a the sliders altenatives.
There is a parallel about a cat inspired by quantum weirdness in the midd 1930's dreamed up by a chap called Schrodinger to explain all this. Schrodiner;s cat was a thought experiment was originally thought up to illustrate the uncertainty principle.
A cat sealed inside a box we can't see inside. The story involves radioactive material that all we know has a 50/50 chance to trigger a preciously arranged hammer to come down and smash a glass vale releasing a poison gas. The law of 50/50 chance the event has either happened killing the cat or it hasn't yet to this point in time. Is the cat dead or still alive? It is uncertain until we check the box.
To cover our bases we can assume the cat can be dead and alive at the same time for the time being until we check in the box. When we do confirms one way or the other. The second we look in the dead or alive collapses into a unless heap. This is the theory with atomic particles. We cannot tell what is going on in the atomic world because just by looking at it collapse what we think may be going on.
With all our doubles out there in the cosmos living alternate lives plus the ones that meat our unfortunate end or never existed we are alive and dead or exist and don't exist in the cosmos at the same time.
