A Knot in Causality, Loose Ends are Tied, and a Puddle...

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 8067

Fred opened the Silver Door and found himself in a great round room. In an instant, Transversal Shock set in. Fred knew with certainty that the door he had passed through was som sort of Eienstein-Rosen bridge, a Quantum Wormhole in the fabric of Spacetime. He gazed about the enormous chamber. Fred felt that this point in Reality itself was of incredible significance and began to sweat. The room was filled with people, animals, creatures, and things. The room itself was elaborate, as if made for the Gods Themselves. Only one siver door existed in the room, the very door through which he had entered. In the center of the room was a curious, shining puddle of light. Suddenly, a young Asian man walked forward and announced himself. He had been chatting with a man who appeared to be the very image of James Bond, Ian Fleming's fictional character. The handsome, athletic man said "Scott! I am glad you are finally here!

These beings have so contrived things that a vast number of Paralell Causal Corridors--"Storylines" if you prefer--have been streaming across the realm of All Possibility. In my universe, all those Causal Corridors--save but a few--eventualy meet HERE in this room. This room is the focus of many Paths through Spacetime. In my reality, that is." "What's all this stuff about Spacetime and Paralell Causal Corridors, and how can we be from different Realities? I'm a Medieval Knight. I have trouble believing that the Earth is Round." "As for the alternate Realities, think of Reality as a whole as being like the Internet. It includes many smaller Realities that are linked within themselves--like internet sites.
