The many worlds theory is the hypothesis that there are many universes, to put it simply. And for each possible choice you (or anyone really) could have made has a separate universe. For instance, in our universe, Forsaken did well and received mostly positive attention because of the endgame and slot changes. In another universe, Forsaken flopped because Bungie added nothing more than a few reskinned y1 items. I apologize for this sloppy explanation, I can see people cringing at this explanation from here. For those of you who haven’t read the lore tab for contraverse hold, this is how it goes. [quote] FROM THE WRITINGS OF TOMEK All things have a cost. But what if I didn't have to be the one to pay it? The many-worlds theory may be out of fashion among my peers, but the fanatical beliefs of the Future War Cult don't come from nowhere. I remember the exact moment I realized: If I was investigating ways to make my parallel selves carry my burdens, then surely those Tomeks had already had the same idea. I had no way of knowing the others' progress. But each time I bent my head over my workbench, I felt the gaze of infinite eyes upon my shoulders. In the end, I and one other activated our inventions at the exact same space-time coordinates. It came down to a cosmic coin toss. One of us became the owner of the powerful Contraverse Hold. And I became a battery.[/quote] What does this mean, you may ask? As far as I see it, it means two things. 1- There are parallel universes in Destiny 2-It is possible to harness powers (or people) in other universes to be used in our own universe. Forget the powers of light and dark, as shown by Tomek, it is possible to bend space and time to benefit oneself. Now, I doubt this will be a plot point in future content. This is because: a-The writers wouldn’t be able to create a unique and rational story. b-The whole thing would sound like a discount Rick and Morty plot. Also, I couldn’t find any other entries about Tomek I on Ishtar collective. Is there any more information about him? Is he a new character? Or is he entirely nonexistent in our universe anymore (he became a battery, which is cryptic, but could have erased him from reality)? I don’t normally make lore-related posts, but this really caught my attention. If anyone has a better interpretation of the contraverse hold lore tab, let me know. Edit: This is a stretch, but what if the architects are life forms that exist outside of our universe who kill us at random intervals for fun? *adjusts spinfoil hat*
