Some laws of physics pervade every universe in the bulkverse. They don’t allow
impossible things like moons that orbit past the Roche limit, or gravity that
repels objects. They don’t create cuboid stars, or flat planets. There’s no
such thing as an animal species with wheels in place of feet, or whales that
evolve in space. There are just some things that don’t exist, no matter where
you go. Some universes, however, do have their own specific physical laws that
would contradict each other, but which don’t interfere with multiversal
constants. Magic is the number one example of this, but I don’t want to talk
too much about that. Those universes can be paradoxically persistent, but
unstable at the same time. There aren’t any rules that hold them together, but
they’re extremely popular, which keeps them from collapsing in on themselves.
They’re hard for me to see, because in order to avoid the collapse, aspects of
such worlds don’t exist while people aren’t actively thinking about them. No,
even ignoring the lawlessness of magic, there are still universes that would
be considered bizarre, or even completely insane, to an outsider.
Bladopodoverse is one example of this, but it’s not the only one. This next
brane doesn’t have a name, like most others, but it has a little quirk that I
don’t really understand. For the most part, humans are the dominant species on
any planet, even if it’s not a version of Earth. The reason for this is God.
God is human, God’s godlings are humans. The godlings’ respective godlings are
also human. It just keeps going down the line, and if you ever meet an evolved
creature that is decidedly not human, it’s just because it’s somehow related
to humans, and spiritually speaking, is still human enough. There’s only one
true alien species that I know of, and even that’s pretty complicated. This
world is different. It contains multiple intelligent animals, with no apparent
origin. I couldn’t tell you why the animals are smarter, and I definitely
couldn’t give you any details about their neurology. I can see that a lot of
them like to help the humans around them, because they seem so hopeless, and that
there don’t seem to be a whole lot of evil animals, which I find interesting.
Not all are like this, or at least they can even hide their intelligence from
me. Some animals appear to be normal, or at least how you or I would use the
word. The intelligent animals don’t use technology, or form human-like
societies. They pretty much behave about as they would without their advanced
intelligence, but sometimes exhibit traits far beyond what they should have.
They communicate with each other on a higher level, and occasionally include
humans in their dealings. Other than this oddity, this version of Earth is
about the same as any other. It has an underworld, which only a few people are
aware of, so if you traveled there, you probably wouldn’t notice a difference.

- About Me
My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
