The Snow Globe Connection

Ervin looked outside at the baking heat of Los Angeles in Southern California. “I don’t like this,” he said. “This is earthquake weather.”

“Oh that’s just a myth,” said his wife, Deidre. “Weather can’t cause earthquakes.”

“Lived here all my life,” rebutted Ervin. “Earthquakes always happen after heat like this.”

“Daddy,” said their daughter, Crystal. “I can make those nasty earthquakes go away.”

“How?”

She returned moments later with her snowman snow globe. “See? I just shake it real good and the snow falls. It can’t be hot if the snow is falling.”

Ervin smiled wanly. “Doesn’t that just cause an earthquake for the snowman?”

Theories about the so-called Multiverse are still new and still developing. What Humanity would learn hundreds of years later is there are trillions of universes, some astonishingly similar to ours. All them of them are connected via mathematical constructs within hyperspace, that place between universes.

Via these constructs, what happened in one universe affected another…

In universe 798345697/b, Arvin looked out at the snowman in the snow. “I hate this,” he muttered. “This is earthquake weather.”

“Don’t worry, Daddy” said his daughter, Amethyst. “I’ll just shake up this Los Angeles Sand Globe…”

Author’s Notes:

Multiverse: “…is the hypothetical set of possible universes, including the universe which we live in. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws and constants that describe them….The various universes within the multiverse are called “parallel universes”, “other universes”, or “alternative universes….”

Earthquake Weather: “…Some recent research has found a correlation between a sudden relative spike in atmospheric temperature 2-5 days before an earthquake. It is speculated that this rise is caused by the movement of ions within the earth’s crust, related to an oncoming earthquake. However, the atmospheric changes are caused by the earthquake, rather than the earthquake being caused by any change in atmospheric conditions…”
