Chapter 46 Morphic
Resonance, Many Worlds, and Magic Bullets
Everything
in our universe -- including you and me, every atom and every galaxy -- has
counterparts in these other universes – David Duetsch
There is no
law other than the law that there is no law. – John Wheeler
“No,
seriously, what the fuck just happened?” Marie demanded. He shot at me, three times, at crazy close
range. How am I still alive?”
She
was shaking, more in fear of the mysteries of her not being dead, than from the
attempt itself. It shook her to the core
of her being, a clingy uncertainty that seemed to destroy the very basis of
reality itself.
“I
can’t be certain,” answered Barry while driving. “But, I can make a guess.”
“You
said something about quantum uncertainty?”
“Quantum
Indeterminancy,” the physicist corrected.
“Yeah, that certainly had to have played a role. Remember, we’re made mostly out of space and
probability at the most basic levels of reality—the quantum realm. Somehow, part of you made sure, that your
constituent particles weren’t in the way of the bullet at any time that it
passed through you. In a sense, you
phased yourself out of the way.”
“How
could I do that? I don’t know how to do
that!”
“Well,
this version of you doesn’t. But,
remember, there are lots’ of Marie Brabants in different universes that have already
mastered the ability to move from one reality to the next, so Jackie would say
that this would enable many other Marie Brabants to access this ability
unconsciously.”
“But,
it’s not like I was hooked up to your interface equipment stuff!” Marie protested.
“No,
you weren’t and that’s the interesting part.
Like, I said, I’m not sure. This
is pretty new stuff to all of us. But,
apparently, and I’m really just guessing … the more Marie Brabant’s there are in the interstitial trans-dimensional
boundaries, the more you are able to control your quantum field on an
unconscious level. For all I know, you
may have also, affected the quantum field of the bullets too.”
She
sighed, understanding only a little, “Why me?
Is it something to do with my DNA then?”
“Possibly,
that’s what Jackie thinks, that’s what a lot of Jackies think actually … but I
have a different theory. I think it’s
kind of a chicken of the egg kind of a thing.
I think that your DNA and that of your ancestors has this mutation is
not a result of being related to Jesus or such Dan Brown nonsense … I think
it’s the other way around. And today has
made me more certain of it.”
“What
do you mean?”
“I
think all those Marie Brabants out there whizzing in and out of existence,
popping between universes, spending time between universes … through trans-dimensional
morphic resonance affected not only other Maire Brabants, but also her, er,
your ancestors.”
Marie
shook her head in savage disbelief, “No, that’s impossible. How could such things work backwards in
time. That’s entirely contrary to
Jackie’s theory … I’ve actually read her book, you know.”
“I
think that things that occur between universes, or within as we here call it interstitial
trans-dimensional boundaries … can transcend time … and work in a recursive
manner.”
And
with that, they he pulled into the open parking spot outside Chateau de Pays m
des Merveilles.
“We’re
back,” he leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips. “Thank you for surviving that. I’m sorry I put you needlessly in such
danger. I promise to be more careful
from here on out.”
Marie
kissed him back.
