Why this must be read:

This mind warping fic made me scratch my head a couple times. And yet, I thought about this fic for hours after reading it, just contemplating... This is a slightly freaky and hinky fic about Rodney's quest to create a quantum mirror. The scary thing, he succeeds. As a result, he sees the billions and trillions of possibilities that are out there; all at the same time... We get to follow a shattered mind as it tries to heal under all the pressure and also fix things. This fic will NOT be what you expect. It will throw you for loops, spins, and a couple loop-de-loops for good measure. So buckle in and enjoy the ride! It'll be a doozy!

Story Summary: Sometimes technology demands more than just a gene.

Loosely translated, it's a how-to guide to the construction of quantum mirrors.

Nobel prize, he thinks, and activates the program.

At first, it's like a heartbeat:

is

is

is

Then all of these insistences on existence are uploaded into his mind and there are realities unfolding. Everything he's ever known and all the things he hasn't are cleaved into a million futures, a trillion. They're decoded and translated and they consume him completely in the time it takes for him to draw the breath to scream.

An infinite number of possibilities emerge from an infinite number of actions, and Rodney sees every last one of them.
