The Mirror Universe Does not exist

[PhaserLightShow]

I've always viewed the mirror universe as having some strange negative force within it that has influenced the development of everything.

What force is that? How can it be scientifically explained?

 

[hux]

It can be scientifically explained in the same way that the Q are.

How? How do you explain it?

 

[hux]

You explain Q then I'll explain a universe with a negative force running through it.

 

[PhaserLightShow]

You explain Q then I'll explain a universe with a negative force running through it.

Q is a god.

 

[hux]

Q is a god.

Mirror universe is a universe with a negatve force running through it.

I've long thought that people who insist on a specific "point of divergence" for the Mirror Universe are missing the point. It's not an alternate timeline, it's a parallel universe. And things are more evil there for whatever reason.

The Dark Mirror Novel said that the Merchant of Venice was different.

Shylock got his pound of flesh.

Alternate Timelines and Mirror Universes seem like different stuff.

Quantum signatures were used in TNG Parallels, but that totally seemed like time line split by "human" decisions, more so than random or periodic universal mitosis.

Yes, but we are finding out what that reason is.

Does it matter?

 

[PhaserLightShow]

Does it matter?

How would it not, more to the point? The why (or how) matters more then the what.

HARREN: Well then, you might be interested to know that I'm about to disprove Schlezholt's theory of multiple big bangs.
JANEWAY: Really. Wang's second postulate has more lives than a cat, doesn't it? Once you think you've eliminated it, bam, it pops up again. I'll give you a hand if you'd like, when the away mission is over.

Multiple Big Bangs might explain a fixed number of parallel Universes that've been in existence since the bigging of time.

Midichlorians?

 

[Guy Gardener]

That's like saying washing machine powder exists because I have dirty underwear.

But what keeps making my undies dirty?

 

[Longinus]

But what keeps making my undies dirty?

I don't think we want to go there.

 

[Guy Gardener]

You need a bigger boat.

 

[PhaserLightShow]

Midichlorians?

One, science cannot explaim midichlorians. Two, we are discussing Star Trek, not bad Star Wars.

 

[FormerLurker]

Science can explain midichlorians, to a point(the Force isn't strong where midichlorians gather, midichlorians gather where the Force is strong). But you are correct, we are discussing Star Trek.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Until the cross over movie finally lands.

It doesn't make a damn bit of difference to me. Mirror Universe storylines are about all the nefarious goings-on in the evil universe, not about some nonsensical and made-up reason why that universe might be different. I can't imagine a less appealing story, quite frankly.
