CRAZY DIMENSIONS

CRAZY times, crazy folks? I’ve never seen or heard of so many crazies happening in so short a time. For weeks, President Trump had been urging his supporters to go to Washington to stop the certification of the election results on 6 January 2021. The day began with several simultaneous rallies planned. According to an 8 January editorial, “I’m perfectly prepared to believe there were several thousand people there, even 10,000 maybe.”

Subtract 50% of attendees as being mentally sane but swept up in the all-encompassing excitement that can result from a large, surging crowd, and that leaves 5,000 or so attendees. Maybe, maybe not mentally sane. Certainly looking back, the insurrection event was an insane thing in and of itself, whether the insanity was pre-existent, fomented or spontaneous.

As a follower of M-Superstring Theory, I have always wondered about the implied connection, if any, between multiverses. If there is any connection(s), I’ve wondered if it/they might explain mental illness. Okay, call me crazy if you like. But is it conceivable that psychosis (a disorder in which thoughts and emotions become so impaired that contact is lost with this reality) might indicate, if only momentarily, that the subject has, so to speak, “a foot in two different realities.” That’s not to say, one real and one unreal, but rather both equally real but subtly (or in the worst cases, substantially) different. Maybe there are conditions under which the barriers that separate the many universes break down. I’m not proposing a new theory, but simply pondering implied possibilities.

Which is one of several topics I explore in infinitely more detail in my upcoming work tentatively entitled PROPHESY. During the capitol riots could some people indeed have had a foot, if only for the shortest moment, in two universes? Enter rogue quantum physicist G., vilified by his university research colleagues, now a street person suffering from “absence seizures.” Crazy? Or one of many possible “travellers?” And what of the universe(s) he encounters, if only for a split second, afterwards unable to recall anything but wild delusions of what he’d “seen?” Is it treatable or could he possibly learn to control the events, moving between universes without needing to construct and believe in the wild delusions resulting from denial? PROPHESY is in construction as I write this, and I hope will be available in early 2022. Can’t wait? Be ready by reading the first two books, the sexually ribald TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese, and the multi-provocative THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor!
