[ Conan hadn't yet bothered with writing in the journal, deciding that he'd instead wait and merely flip through the pages. When he'd discovered that they could broadcast what was written in them into other journals he was, naturally, intrigued. There had to be a logical explanation for it, after all. ]

[ Finally, he puts his fountain pen to the page and writes. ]

I came across something interesting and I'm wondering how deep it goes. So, I'm going to list a few things, let me know if they are familiar to you:

Kogoro Akechi

Al Capone

Interpol

FBI

The Maltese Falcon

The Roman Empire

Arsène Lupin

Kaitou Kid

The Eiffel Tower

Tokyo Tower

Mount Everest

Snow Woman

Coffee Pot

Forensic Science

DNA

A kind of butterfly effect.

Yes, you could think of it like that I suppose. It's more a like an earthquake, really. An epicenter...with the most strongly affected things being things directly hit, gradually petering out. But don't go thinking it applies to time too, that's just nonsense. Alternate realities are a whole different story.

[Written] s-sorry for the image

[tantiny]

So, say point 'A' is the epicenter of one universe and point 'B' is other. Things that Happen to or around point A do not affect point B in anyway, and point B cannot affect point A, but points C and D are not epicenters and so they can affect points A and B, is that close to right?

[Written] s'ok

[lonelygod]

Something like that. Yes. But I was thinking more...within one universe. If you decide to go and drive your car into the Thames, it's not going to matter much to someone in New York. But it'll certainly shut down traffic in London and affect that. Now...in another universe if you decide not to, then things will take a different path. Each and every action is an epicenter that brings about change.

[ He... thinks he might get it but there are still things he's pretty unclear on. ]

So one action generates one reaction in one universe but, in another universe that same action could generate a different reaction? Like mixing two chemicals together and getting an explosion in one universe, but in a different one mixing the same chemicals only gets you a bunch of bubbles.

Or is that kind of change limited to only things that people do?

[lonelygod]

Anything that could have multiple results. A choice, a certain chemical mixture, even something as small as a microbe going left instead of right could theoretically result in a parallel world. At least, that's how my people saw it. But then we never did study that as much. Time was our domain.

Anything that is carried over universe to universe is just a coincidence then?

[Written]

[lonelygod]

Yes, exactly.
