Hmm, the farther apart the realities, the greater the time difference. That much we do know, the rest of my theory is speculation. Not sure how we do know that... Evidence from the books? Far as I can tell distance is not something that can be measured between realities. Besides, time difference at...

Well, I can't say I know much about advertising...but it sort of confuses me. You are advertising the 13'th infected book in order to get new customers. Seams to me that ther are 3 main possibilities: 1) They have read the other 12 and will be on the lookout for new ones. 2) They tried the series bu...

Well far out man. I don't really see it but its an idea to play with. Something like this..... Time is Cyclic and there is only one universe and only one god. But that god gets bored so each time round he tries doing it differently - So the line walkers are not dimension hopping - they are time trav...

Destroy all Reality? Well There is the Sugestion that time is cyclic but, given time travel and fairly flexable rules to dimenion behavour, there is no great reason why it need repeat the same way each time. Like 'Verse's - It might be stuck in a bit of a rut but push hard enough and you can get it ...

Ahh There is also a god mentioned in Shine.....or at leat a single inteligence responsible for all the infected. Plus Dale has sort of confirmed in this thread that I ain't that far off. The idea of 'verses being not seriously bigger than star system sized is consistent with the plot so far for reas...

Ok...... moving on. Its looking like a limited number of 'verses each with a resident god fighting to hold it seperate. Add to the mix a bunch of old time loosers who want back in the game and ain't particularly woried 'bout the means. So does that mean that among gods there are the good guys and th...

Sorry, that theory needs to heve lunch with the flat earther movement. And disc world is one of the greatest fantasy series out there. A flat earth made a great plot, as does Dale's multiverse. It doesn't have to be right, just hold suficient self consistency that the reader can suspend disbelief.

David. Fiction indeed. In the end Dale will write his books any way he wants. However consider the nature of this forum. Dale has specifically opened it for speculation and I do believe that he hopes to benifit from it. I am NOT attempting to stop him writing and if he can draw a satisfactory conclu...

I can't see how they can be universe sized for two reasons. 1) Without something to to hold them apart they merge together - but they do so naturally all the time - hence places where ordinary beings can walk from one to another. They can merge piecemeal which argues for elasticity. Once you get far...

This is plot logic not theoretical Physics. If the multiverse is truly infinite It is too big to affect. No conclusion possible. So, there is a limited number of them and they tend to snap together if they ain't different enough. Far enough out in space where nobody is doing anything or watching too...
