The Story of Equestria
Origin
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt is questionable just where in the universe our world is. Some say it is in another universe, Earth's past or future, or a Second World beyond the stars. To see, we will first have to know how to get there.
In billions of years time, the sun's hydrogen will run out, and it will be forced to fuse helium. This itself will result in carbon, which this star is too small to fuse further, resulting in cooling, turning it into a burnt cinder.
But some stars will keep swelling, until the fusion of iron, making layers like an onion. But iron can't be fused, because that costs energy instead of releasing it. Such a star's iron will suddenly reverse position to the lighter elements, and be expelled like a nuclear blast.
Gravity is the result of objects pushing down space-time around them, similar to a quarter in the middle of a drum with a penny on the sides. But that itself is the result of gravity, so what pushes down space-time? The answer: gravitons. These particles function like the gravity that pulled down the drum.
So a supernova will suddenly collapse a great deal of space-time, forming what we call a black hole. If you get too close, you will not escape. At the center, time stops and the laws of phsics break down.
Then consider a trampoline. You pus down the trampoline, but it will go back up, pushing YOU up, and forms what we perceive as being "shot" into the sky. The same is true of space-time, which will form something like a force-field, known as a white hole.
Since space-time itself is curved, a black hole can connect to a white hole, forming a wormhole. This will be an instant teleporting device, sending an object at one point to another.
We know of two habitable planets in the galaxy: Earth and Gliese 581 d. The latter is where I am. A wormhole can drift like a wave, one point going to earth, and another to Gliese.
I believe one continent on your planet, North America, was missing a creature called a "horse" until settlers from another of your continents, Europe, brought it with them, even though they crossed a landform called The Bering Strait which linked this North America, to a third continent, Asia, during the Ice Age. That's us.
But ponies are clearly not horses. What happened? Find out in the next episode.
