  2. Can multiple-timeline possibilities exist in the Cosmere, and could this explain any possible discrepancies?

    We don't really have any evidence of temporal weirdness so far. There was a time when we weren't sure whether Elantris or Whie Sand happens first but that's simply because the God Beyond whose secret name is Brandon Sanderson hadn't nailed it down yet, rather than an in-universe discrepency. And by His Divine Fiat, other inconsistencies are sometimes changed via the magic known as 'revised editions'. :D

    We know of time-travel existing in the sense that relativistic travel is technically travel through time albeit strictly in one direction. I suspect that Brandon's going to confine any and all alternate timeline ideas to the multiverse that Reckoners, Apocalypse Guard and Snapshot are part of, given that alternate universes is one of the core elements of that 'verse but it sounds like the possibility isn't completely ruled out in the Cosmere just yet.

    Hmm, you're probably right.  But alternate timelines for stories in the Cosmere still intrigue me.

  7. Adonalsium's law of thermodynamics

    in Cosmere Discussion

    Adonalsium (A*) equals the sixteen different vibrations of Investiture.  As A* splinters, Investiture loses intent.  Investiture will always lose intent until the cycle begins anew.

    That's the best bit of fiction-science I can come up with. :P

    Let's just say that it's kind of difficult to formulate new laws of thermodynamics in a few minutes, regardless of your intellect or training.

  15. Can multiple-timeline possibilities exist in the Cosmere, and could this explain any possible discrepancies?

    In many fictional settings, there exist multiple timelines during which the stories take place.  Although it is merely conjecture, I believe that the possibility of multiple timelines in the Cosmere may be considerable.  Such a multiple-timeline system would explain possible discrepancies in the timeline, and would likely arise from Investiture-powered time-travel techniques.  It may be simply idle conjecture, but could this be justified by any existing evidence of temporal weirdness in the Cosmere?

    Eh... havent read Skyward yet, but the Doomslug looks storming cute and I love the name. It beats Stick for me, but so did Herman the Crystal Grower from Reckoners, so, yeah. 

    I don’t really like Stick.

    Excuse me, but I believe you misplaced your modifier.

    What you should have said is "I really don't like Stick"

    :P
