All Theories Are True: Difference between revisions

 

[[Real Life]] examples abound, of course, but should be avoided unless they have been the basis of fictional works or story premises.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* [[Grant Morrison]] loves treating fringe science claims as true in his comics, whether it's the "morphogenetic field" in ''[[Animal Man]]'' or Masaru Emoto's theory that water has feelings coming true in a chapter of ''[[Seven Soldiers]]''.

 

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

* A big part of the [[Mad Scientist|Sons of Ether]] brand in ''[[Mage: The Ascension]]'' is science that go beyond conventional ideas of the "possible".

** This is also one of the noted problems of Lemurians and their [[Splat|Brahmins]]. A Genius can easily cite any scientific theory, bunkum or backed-up, for why their device works, but the members of the Peerage have ''some'' understanding that what they're doing is not quite science. The Lemurians, on the other hand, believe that something went wrong with the standing model of the universe, and want to try to "fix it" to support their theories.

** It's also how [[Eldritch Location|Bardos]] work. A theory of the universe is proven to be untrue? Then it simply spins off into an alternate dimension where it is. Certain Bardos include a model of the universe where the planets are crystal spheres pushed through seas of aether by gigantic archangels, a dystopia that demonstrates both the failures and successes of Soviet totalitarianism, a [[John Carter of Mars|Barsoom]]-like vision of Mars that came into existence when the Viking rover pictures came back, and the Hollow Earth, which is populated by both every sort of prehistoric creatures and Nazis.
