Actually, this theory could explain the documented cases of people being seen in different places at the same time or being recognized and having a history with people they've never met.

The one we are in now, all of you trapped with me, is what I call the "Murphy's Law" universe. The other is, of course, the "Anti Murpy's Law" Universe.

I realized this about three years ago, when the Quality Assurance department I worked in was cut in half.

I figured it would end up putting me back on the line for a while, but instead, I ended up working a "weekend shift" where I was paid a week's wages to sit and do nothing for twelve hours on a saturday and sunday. Not only that, but I had to share the office with the most office shareable person, for me, in the plant.

It wasn't then I realized I had slid into the "Anti Murphy's Law" universe, but sadly, after, when I slid back-- about the time my ex left me, to be followed shortly there after with re-assignment to regular shift work.

And a host of other calamities.

It all squares with the lastest in physics.

It's obvious.

The "string" in "string" theory isn't energy, it's something else.

In this, the "Murphy's Law" universe, the string is made up of irony.

Of course, in the "Anti-Murphy's Law" universe, it is made up of serendipity.

Murphy's Law exists in all parts of the Multiverse, but is set at different values in each bubble universe.

Here in our bubble Murphy is set at a very punishing "if it can go wrong it will go wrong". Pretty well explains all of human history and the Maple Leafs.

In other universes however Murphy's might be set at a more pleasant "if it can go wrong it might go wrong". Here intelligent life might have a fighting chance.

The universe Tommy slipped into for a couple of years sounds like it had Murphy set to "if it can go wrong it won't even think about going wrong". Let's move there.

(Whaddya mean, "the wormhole's this way, 'lance"?)

Actually I think it's literally string. Which makes cats the rulers of the universe. Now, there's no dearth of supporting evidence for that. Would any sort of being except a supreme one be lucky enough to end up with their way of life?

While you stare and wonder at the box, you also have the added problem of trying to determine how it is the bottom of your sock is wet from a freshly cacked up hairball from the seemingly sealed off and dead/alive cat.

Nice try, Doc, but our cats have tried that one on me more than once. Oh sure, the wormhole's cunningly disguised as an empty can-food can knocked off the kitchen counter, or a toy, or even a cacked-up hairball... but I'm wise to them.
