Over the last 100 years, countless studies have proven that Albert Einstein's greatest theory – his theory of general relativity – is practically bulletproof, capable of everything from predicting black holes to guiding your GPS technology. However, as scientists arm themselves with more powerful and sophisticated technology, capable of peering into the cosmos in unprecedented detail, they see phenomena they can't explain with Einstein's theory. Einstein's general theory of relativity states that the curvature of space-time causes gravity. But zoom out to enormous scales like clusters of galaxies spanning billions of light years across, and the laws of Einstein's gravity theory appear to change. "It's almost as if gravity itself stops perfectly matching Einstein's theory," Robin Wen, a recent University of Waterloo graduate, said in a university press release.

Heavy. There’s that word again. Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?

I don’t know if I’ve already written this so please bear with me as a do a deeper explanation on how I think the Phantom Dimension works.

Part of this theory is going to be HIGHLY speculative this is do the nature of the subject that we will be discussing. Since I am not a physicist please bear with me as I explain to the best of my understanding how the Phantom Dimension is an alternate universe the is accessible through time travel. All sources will be at the end.

To travel through space is to travel though time. This is supported by Einstein work in special relativity. “An object in motion experiences time dilation, meaning that when an object is moving very fast it experiences time more slowly than when it is at rest.” We see this when we send astronauts to space. While time travel in rotation around the earth versus time spent on earth is negligible but the closer you get to the speed of light the more noticeable the difference is; think interstellar. “Imagine a 15-year-old leaves her high school traveling at 99.5% of the speed of light for five years (from the teenage astronaut's perspective). When the 15-year-old got back to Earth, she would have aged those 5 years she spent traveling. Her classmates, however, would be 65 years old — 50 years would have passed on the much slower-moving planet.”

Moving forward Stephen Hawking’s Multiverse Theory, stems from Quantum Mechanics. I will not pretend to understand this concept but I will explain to the best of my ability. Prof. Hawking and Prof. Hartle created the theory of Quantum Mechanics to explain how the universe originated from nothing. This created a problem of course, how could the universe only do this once? It didn’t. The Big Bang in theory would have created an infinite amount of universes. All similar and slightly different from our own. According to Prof. Hartle “The laws of physics that we test in our labs did not exist forever. They crystallised after the Big Bang when the universe expanded and cooled. The kind of laws that emerge depends very much on the physical conditions at the Big Bang.” (BBC News) To my understanding, it’s kinda like when you make something out of clay. The universe is the clay and you have infinite possibilities but once it drys the clay must stay that way.

Hopefully all of that made sense. Now you might be wondering, “Bird, how tf does that connect to SBG?” And I’ll tell you.

It’s established early in and mentioned constantly that there is a time difference from the Phantom Dimension (PD) and the Human Dimension (HD). Whether that time is one minute or seven is negligible because the effect is still the same. The Graveyard Kids (GKs) are experiencing time dilation. Time dilation is defined as “a physical phenomenon that occurs when two clocks show different elapsed times due to a difference in gravitational potential or relative velocity” The clock for the GKs being their internal clock unfortunately since things in the PD don’t visually affect the HD.

The GKs are in the PD for 7 hours and wake up to a world where next to no time has passed. They are still living and experiencing this time. This is shown through how the kids heal. Remember how earlier we established that each universe can have its own unique set of rules and laws in physics. The could mean that in the PD universe healing based on mental state is just a law of the universe.

“But Bird! How tf did they get to the PD?” I hear you asking. Don’t worry we’re getting there.

What if these “Rifts” as they are called in SBG are actually “Wormholes”. Wormholes (as defined by Einstein) are “a hypothetical structure that connects disparate points in spacetime.” It is often visualized as a tunnel with two ends at different point in spacetime. Spacetime being different locations, points in time, or both. I believe that the Rifts are Wormholes and when the GKs visited the Sorrel Weed house they accidentally fell through one.

The contact is the bridge of the Wormhole which allows travel in between with the human and the Phantom being the two points in space time. The two points being both the Phantom (in a universe with an accelerated time) and the human (in a universe assumed to be similar to ours). So not only is it a different place but time moves differently.

From this point on I have no more sources to support me. I only have speculation.

I believe that when they fell through the Wormhole; alternate bodies were created in the PD universe. The contact between the Phantom and the Human (as referenced previously) is what creates the alternate body (the clone). The GKs consciousness gets transported there for seven hours every night, while we don’t know precisely why this happens we can infer why. I believe it is due to their new bodies not being able to function fully without the HD consciousness.

@crayfee had brought up a good point while we were taking about this. They suggest that maybe these newly created bodies, since they were created for the PD are part Phantom. This could suggest why the clones seen in Logan/Ashlyns dream as well as in the finale look human but operate as Phantoms. Even going to far as to have Phantom like features when the GKs consciousness is not present in them. They could be attempting to take the GKs place in the HD because as of right now they are trapped in the PD.

Speaking of trapped in the PD. Let’s talk about how the parents and the coma patients fit into this.

For whatever reason, the GKs were able to escape the Rift (Wormhole). When we see the kids at the Rift in the Sorrel Weed house the Phantom is seen grabbing Ashlyn’s arm but she manages to pull away and escape. I believe that the parents and coma patients were grabbed by Phantoms but did not escape. It’s safe to assume that do the lack of clones we see for the parents that their consciousness is trapped in the PD.

We’ve seen what happens when someone loses a fight with a Phantom in the PD. They become an infected in the HD. These infected then can turn around and pass the Phantom inside them (or perhaps a new one) into another individual. I believe that the Phantom that is inside the humans HD body is creating a sustained Wormhole inside the body of the infected human. This could explain why it appears that the life is draining from the infected body. It’s not taking on the look of a Phantom but rather it’s dying. A Wormhole would take a lot of energy to sustain and that could be why the Phantom is trying to move bodies in the HD.

This is all I have for know on this theory. If you have anything to add please tell me. (Don’t be mean. I’m not a physicist, I’m a medical humanities student)

But to recap, to move through space is to move through time. To move to another universe is to move through space. Another universes rules become set once it’s created and to travel there you must have a body that abides by these rules. The contact being two points creates a Wormhole that can be traveled through.

rtc reaction to tor because the inner voice double feature has me associating the two together

Ricky LOVED it. cats, space, nerdy science stuff, human philosophy, literally HIS SHIT

he also got really excited when me and ricky started only to be disgusted with himself by the end of it

Mischa didn’t almost cry during promise me this. what are you talking about. it was his allergies. what do you mean. Noel cried, why aren’t you heckling him about it.

Ocean was lowkey pissed about the ending of end of the line. she’s literally Jenny why would the writers do that to her. what the heck guys. she would never do that.

Constance also very much made the connection between her and ocean and Sarah and Jen, just chose not to bring it up

Speaking of Constance, mikes part in great expectations broke her. she was just squeezing noels, who was also a mess bc of Catherine, hand the entire time

oh also footprint. poor girl was going through it.

Ricky has a cat named meowser. Julie is literally him guys he promises.

Ocean didn’t get apples and oranges, she was VERY confused, Constance had to hold her hand through explaining it to her afterwards
