Extract from the Council, explaning Fanon space and time travel.
Let me spell it out for you.
Currently in Fanon continuity, Club Penguin Fanon Universe is part of a massive network of universes which are all connected to the central hub, Wikia. Imagine a spider web with little water drops on each thread - the water drops are universes and the spider in the middle is Wikia. If Wikia is erased from existence, every other universe in the thread dies. A single universe can split off from the web and exist on its own, maybe someday becoming another Wikia - however this is discouraged and that universe will never be able to rejoin Wikia. The Denizens at Wikia (Wikia employees are a mix of creatures from each of Wikia's Universes (wikis) ), especially Saint Joeyaa, keep the multiverse in this way because it enables them to control each universe connected in that web, and claim that a universe cannot exist outside of the Wikia Network (which it can, they're lying.)
For this explanation, I'm keeping the analogy of a bubble, however universes may be many different shapes and sizes. When somebody (let's say a Vortex Manipulator-wielding penguin with Universal Travel modifications) decides to leave this universe to the next one, by activating that feature on their device they "punch a hole" in the bubble and launch themselves outwards into the web. However, since all universes are always moving, it's kind of a matter of luck if they ever get where they want to go. In addition, the hole in the side of the universe creates irregular spacetime activity where the creature left the universe, resulting in mutations, time-displaced creatures and items and sometimes random teleportation of creatures. That's why nobody does it. (Except Kwiksilver because he's an idiot.)
While I use the spiderweb analogy, outside of any universes there is no space or time, only endless, colourless void. There are ships that can traverse this void, but mostly they are overglorified Universal Travel machines and are constantly unstable. If a creature is exposed to the void, it is likely they will get sucked in. No creature has ever seen the inside of the void since there is no light in the void, and most of them die due to the extreme G-forces they are subjected to when they are forcibly pulled out of this world. Which brings me to how to counter those forces.
Copied entirely from the Time Travel Portal:
Antarctican Time Machines consist of three main components: a Procrastinator, a Time Gear, and a Space Ripper.Antarctican Time Machines consist of three main components: a Procrastinator, a Time Gear, and a Space Ripper.
- Time Gear - A mysterious, rare cog-like device that, when spun at high speeds, moves spacetime either forwards or backwards in time. Its origin is unknown, and it is assumed to come from the future.
- Procrastinator - A procrastinator looks like a cylinder on an axle. The procrastinator is able to wind time in or out, transferring needed time to areas that are missing time. A Time Gear can often leave areas "missing" time, and the procrastinator accounts for that by filling in those gaps and leaving history running smoothly.
- Space Ripper - A space ripper does exactly what its name says: it literally rips spacetime. It rips spacetime apart to form a bubble encasing the time machine so that the Time Gear does not affect things other than the aforementioned time machine.
In short, a Time Gear moves the time machine forwards or backwards, leaving areas of missing time. The Procrastinator accounts for that missing time, and the Space Ripper holds the Time Machine together.
The Space Ripper part creates a pocket of space (either temporary or permanent) around a certain object or creature. Kwiksilver's Vortex creates a temporary pocket around him, and Doctor Hickory's TARDIS has a permanent pocket of space in the inside of the blue box. This space can be as big or small as it needs to be, however the bigger it is the more energy it needs to sustain it.
The area that Time Travel occurs in is the Fourth Dimension, which is outside of the universe and in which time and space are not relative. Imagine the "time tunnel" you see in Doctor Who - that's what is is, basically. The Bureau of Fiction exists in this realm as well, permanently anchored to the Fourth Wall which moves along the current flow of time in Antarctica. This is both the space outside the universe (metaspace). There is no point in showing metaspace in respect to reality - There's no definitive point where it stops and ends. It's just there.
In 2020 Fanon time, after the Wikia Catastrophe, many universes decide that being connected to a central hub is unsafe, and decide to disconnect themselves from wikia.
So that's basically how all that works in the Fanon Universe. You're welcome!--Kwiksilver - Drop it like it's hot while the pimp's in the crib. 01:03, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
