heh, london is only bathed in perpetual sunlight for about half an hour a year the rest of the time it's cloudy and raining, sleeting, snowing or a mixture of all 3.

I wasn't always a canuck

lol, i just read through this topic, and it's funny how far we got from the original topic sometimes.

perplex city - somehow i have to agree with the alternate dimension thing, and i like the spec that it's the equivalent of london.
Marchant and 87 years ago: if it's a parallel universe but with diff characters, then i guess S. Marchant would be Max Planck, as he got his nobel prize 87 years ago (in 1918), and is a big pioneer of quantum physics. see the link?

wow, was that a wild spec.

I love London, I wish I could move there. I love the weather.

Um...I'm an American. My image of London is that it has the same amount of daylight as I get, but it's always really foggy and rainy and grey.

Though I've been outside my country before, so my mind is probably tainted or something.

The more I hear about London, the more it sounds like rochester new york.

"The weather's here, wish you were nice", all that sort of thing.

Does anyone else get the impression that one is allowed access to the cube during the Annual Academy Ball(AAB)?

I believe Perplex CIty has a caste system and that only those gifted with powers of telekenesis(sic) are allowed to attend the Academy. As a naturally occuring resource, perhaps any Perplexitonian's right to utilize the cube has been defined, debated, enacted and codified into PC Law.

The S Marchant quote, and subsequent revelation that there is an real-Earth antiquities dealer of imperial reknown at the top of the most popular search engine's results; - I feel like an ARG will do this forwith it's players when it knows that the object of the search query is stable in the the popular engines' rankings. As a stable 'landmark' it provides both plot advancement AND advertisement for new brains. As an American I can attest to the awe that the Bristish Museum of Natural History inspires within me, and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw who was this S Marchant guy?

The location of their time and space is affected by some sort of interaction with the cube. A location in Perplex CIty can tunnel to Earth, and it can tunnel back. Therefore "the cube" is the answer to the question I believe.

Time travel itself offers the possibility of forwards and backwards. The Academicians seem to know much about our past as well as our future. If the Cube was not discovered in the Perplexing universe, but rather on Earth, what if S Marchant heroically returned the cube to Earth? He/she took it en receda.

Is this a spec thread?

POTUS: I'm pretty sure the Marchant on Google is just some antiques dealer - there's thousands of them in this country....
