Please Note: This is a fringe hypothesis at best. The forces described here may or may not exist in real life. Don't get your heart set on finding them! Also note that the further into these articles you go, the sillier they'll sound. You were warned.
The last two articles I've written as a series of questions and answers. I've done this to highlight the questions that make all this new physics necessary, rather than throwing out all new sorts of concepts and basically saying "trust me." In this article, I'm going to be getting a little ahead of myself when I introduce the Trigamon Model of particle physics. (Also called the "Alternative Model[1]" or "Nonstandard Model")
For the rest of this article we go on a journey down the proverbial rabbit hole trying not to wind up in uncanny valley as we cover all of the new physics needed to understand what's going on. So lets get on with our trip.
Before we get started exploring the Trigamon Model of particle physics, there are several things to note. First, just like there are people who break the laws of society, there are particles that break the laws of physics and sometimes even basic logic. These quantum criminals are known as "Satirical Particles" because they appear to laugh in the face of physics. There are so many of these that I can't cover all of them, but I will try to touch on the ones more famous in the Trigamon series. Satirical particles exhibit behaviors that cannot be logically explained, and while some of these behaviors have illogical explanations, some have no explanation whatsoever. There are many classes of satirical particles, and I'll cover them later: a little more here and more in-depth in a future article. Satirical particles don't play any significant role in anything, although it's important to know that every rule has exceptions.
And the notion that every rule has exceptions brings us to the topic of doesn't matter. Doesn't matter is a term thrown around a bit in physics parody, but in Trigamon is very real. In the Trigamon Model of particle physics something is left behind when matter and antimatter annihilate. If one thinks of matter as being positive and antimatter as being negative, then doesn't matter can be thought of as being zero.
At this point there should probably be more a few question about doesn't matter. And being neutral between matter and antimatter, its safe to say that doesn't matter is pretty weird. The first thing is that doesn't matter is created when matter and antimatter meet and annihilate. The mass of the matter and antimatter is turned into energy and what's left is the doesn't matter. Basically it's the following equation:
This equation goes both ways. And because of conservation of energy, doesn't matter always exists at absolute zero. When energy is added to doesn't matter it splits into matter and antimatter. Thus, this rules out doesn't matter as a dark matter candidate because doesn't matter doesn't interact gravitationally (no energy = no mass) and doesn't matter doesn't have a rest mass. In fact doesn't matter doesn't interact with any of the scientifically accepted forces of nature: electromagnetism, the Higgs field, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. And this raises a question: how do we know it exists at all?
At my time of writing this, I don't know how nimis interacts with doesn't matter, since there are no negative nimis charges. Its possible that there are no doesn't matter counterparts to particles with nimis charges, but I'm still working this out. But as the story goes, doesn't matter was detected through a different force: karma. Karma operates on everything the same, no matter it's composition. When super-advanced civilizations calculated the karma of small, nearly empty universes they discovered the equations were far more complex than they should have been. These extra values have been shown to be the result of doesn't matter, but we're getting too far ahead of ourselves.
A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away alien astrophysicists tried to calculate how much doesn't matter there was in the universe. They failed spectacularly. Super-intelligent species have tirelessly worked to create a number large enough to describe all of the doesn't matter in the universe. The number of doesn't matter particles in one galaxy alone is too large to put on a hard drive, even if scientific notation is used. In fact, this would still be true even if you linked up all of the binary storage that humankind has ever invented, the number of doesn't matter particles still wouldn't fit.
Given that most doesn't matter actually sits not in galaxies, but in large voids between galaxies, this number is too large to comprehend. The famous Fenyran mage Sar once tried to shake a stick at all of the doesn't matter in the universe, and failed, famously, and in doing so proved that there is more doesn't matter than one can shake a stick at. When dealing with the Trigamon Model of particle physics, we sometimes encounter numbers that are too big to fit in the human brain, no matter what type of notation is used.
Pressure is a fairly well understood concept in physics. If you increase the pressure, gasses become liquid and liquids become solid, or at least in theory. While pressure applies to things in the physical world, meta-pressure applies to things in the metaphysical world, aka abstract concepts. From a logical standpoint, meta-pressure can be thought of as the complex component to standard pressure. But how is this important?
If you increase the meta-pressure, abstract concepts such as sarcasm, happiness, or gender begin to take physical form: first as a gas, then as a liquid, and finally as a solid. Different concepts have different meta-pressure thresholds for de-abstractification, as well as different boiling and freezing points.
One has to be careful with meta-pressure. If you increase the meta-pressure then it becomes possible to literally knock the stupidity out of someone. Increase it more and you can literally knock the bajeezus out of someone, even though there is no real definition of what "bajeezus" is. At sufficiently high meta-pressure, things just stop making sense altogether.
Meta-pressure is encountered in the Trigamon game in an area known as "Sar's Chasm." Once upon a time the great mage Sar fell into a bottomless pit and tried to dig himself out, making a strange pit in the ground where the meta-pressure is high enough to liquify sarcasm. In this pit, liquid sarcasm drips down the walls every morning before evaporating, giving a new meaning to the term "breathing in sarcasm".
Not all the forces of the Trigamon Universe are known. But what we do know is that there are 44 of them, or 56 in base 10. Two of these forces are artificial, which leaves us with 54 natural forces, or 42 if we use the natural base: 13. For the rest of this section I'll stick to base 10. These 54 forces can be grouped into nine categories or six meta-categories depending on the system that you want to use. There are two artificial forces in the Trigamon series: the "law of cycles" and the "law of epicycles" which don't fit neatly into this classification.
At high energies the forces are known to unify. Electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force unify into the electroweak force. The electroweak force unifies with the strong nuclear force at even higher energies. Gravity and nimis magic will also unify at high energy via supernatural relativity. At sufficiently high energies, all of the forces in each of the meta-categories will unite into a single force, and the universe will have only six forces, plus the two artificial ones, for a total of eight.
In the Trigamon Multiverse, there is an internal structure between the universes and the multiverse called a "colossalminium". Ours is made of solidified hope. But more on that in a future article.
The Trigamon Multiverse is infinite, but it does not repeat. For people looking to add to the Trigamon Multiverse, there is always room for you, and there is always as much room as you'll ever need. But your story might take place an infinite distance away from mine. And also note that some combinations of particles are impossible, so be sure to double check your discoveries.
I feel like I'm beating around a bush, but hopefully you have all the tools you need now to understand the contents of the Trigamon Multiverse. So let's dive in: next time.
