An overview of the Arkwright cosmology
by James Brunton
Introduction
"There is not one infinite universe, instead there are an
infinite number of universes: a multiverse."
Those were Karl Marx's first words to the Scientific
Assembly of Munich in 1882. I think that the media
described the implications as "far-reaching".
My father told me that some people panicked, thinking that
we were about to be invaded at any moment. On the whole,
the entire world was stunned. I don't think that many
people had more than a shakey idea of what Marx meant by
"probability valency", "shell perception" and all the rest.
There was a lot of speculation and debate. I remember my
grandmother insisting that it was all a hoax, especially
after what Orson Welles did...
Mind you, that all changed when the final proofs came
through. By the end of 1888, at the World Fair in Paris, we
all had to accept that ours was but one of an infinity of
Earths.
Yet what did they hold? What were they like? Were there
Earths where the dinosaurs still ruled, where the Holy
Roman Empire still held sway? Others where life had never
evolved?
The truth of it, when we were at last able to perceive it,
was beyond out wildest imaginings and our darkest
nightmares.
