Fucking hell, I'm gonna have to ship all these this year.

Bored at an airport, decided to show my own style of #Christmas spirit.

Cloud Ranger

Abstract:

The only survivor of an exterminated universe, in order to find a place for himself, becomes a hero in a world where he doesn’t belong; and yet he resents his powers because, though they might earn him public adulation, they remain also a symptom of the same condition that sets him apart to begin with — until such point that his resentment brings him to reject his role as a possible savior of mankind and he acquires the infamy with which he is remembered in future history.

Powers:

“Cloud Ranger gets his powers from flight.”

According to the theories articulated after Professor Petrichor’s examinations, Cloud Ranger’s powers are a consequence of his escape from the destruction of his original universe. His escape was enabled when a chance alignment, a wormhole held open, plunged his body into a foreign universe through its microwave background. One would have otherwise expected him to disintegrate with the terminal decoherence visited upon his native reality, or, otherwise the alternating polarity of the wormhole’s magnetic field induced his atoms to attract rather than repel, to such an extent that even then he still ought to have disappeared, not disintegrated but instead to have been smashed into a singularity. However, while Cloud Ranger’s plunge between universes having induced his atoms into a squeezed state, the radiation of a foreign universe entered the wormhole, with their interaction with Cloud Ranger’s body resulting in the emission of unpaired photons from his own atomic structure, which in turn suppressed vacuum fluctuations in his particulate cloud such that the energy density between his atoms became negative. Though consequent negative pressure and magnetic attraction would find an equilibrium, with his material composition converting the suppressed vacuum fluctuations into zero-point energy and the accompanying virtual particles acting as carriers of nuclear forces, with his atomic structure, in the negative pressure of a system with an energy density less than zero, therefore able to expand in equal measure against the collapse and retain an observable molecular composition, such a miracle could only be accomplished so long as Cloud Ranger’s particle composition remained at a temperature below absolute zero.

This carries profound complications: where the curve of a gravitational field will traditionally converge upon a given object, the negative energy density of a system below absolute zero induces space to a divergent curvature; or, in other words if enough of a particle cloud is at a negative-absolute temperature, then some of its atoms will move upwards, in defiance of gravity. This, of course, is the source of Cloud Ranger’s power of flight. However, such a phenomenon demands investigation, as one might reasonably ask how atoms in this system might retain their atomic motion. In order to understand this, one must be aware that a negative-absolute temperature is not colder than absolute zero. Because temperature is better understood as the exchange between energy and entropy, or, even more in strictly, in terms of thermodynamic beta, it would be more precise to say that his particle cloud is saturated in entropy, with his energy states therefore limited and existing at an upper bound of maximum energy — or, in other words, that negative-absolute temperatures are not colder than absolute zero, but are in fact hotter than positive infinity. Though Prof. Petrichor hesitated to reach any premature conclusions, his notes reveal the hypothesis that either the foreclosure of possibilities accompanying the extinction of Cloud Ranger’s native universe, or otherwise a lingering symptom of the squeeze state following his plunge through the wormhole, continues to limit his energy states, thereby maintaining his atomic structure at negative-absolute temperatures.

However, regardless of any ontological speculations, more pressing paradoxes arise with the realization that Cloud Ranger’s existence in such negative-absolute conditions — which is to say that, while the total energy density of Cloud Ranger’s space is zero, his atoms nevertheless exhibit infinite temperature — mean that a given observer measuring his energy system will calculate a vacuum expectation value of infinity, with the act of measurement itself causing Cloud Ranger’s individual particles to exhibit instantaneous jumps in their energy state; in fact, to observe any of them yields a typical measurement far beyond the average for a traditional particle of a given type, and exceeding as well the energy any traditionally organism might be expected to produce. Fortunately, as a result of suppressed vacuum flux and Cloud Ranger’s corresponding negative energies, his particle field at rest exhibits the characteristics of an evanescent wave function, decaying with minimal absorption, such that the phenomenon of Cloud Ranger’s existence, if examined only according to measurements performed on his system at rest, might be best termed an extended virtual event. For the sake of analogy, one might consider expected behavior of particles that have passed the speed of light, seeming to go backwards in time from the point of view of a future frame-of-reference, which is in fact the ageless or stagnant time-frame of both photons as they move at precisely the speed of light, in what might be called the point of view of hyperspace. Yet, even while these measurements are taking place, Cloud Ranger’s body as a whole remains at a negative-absolute temperature, with his ‘quantum hypothermia’ sustained because most of the matter in his particulate cloud continues to exist, unobserved, at precisely absolute zero; nevertheless, because this hyperspatial reference point of superluminal velocities is also the relative time-frame of matter as it exists at absolute zero, his particulate system is able to maintain its tachyonic integrity. Eventually, this analogy led Prof. Petrichor to a useful framework for understanding how Cloud Ranger’s unusual composition was maintained, and, in turn, revealed the physics of his interaction with his foster universe.

Unlike their positive-temperature counterparts, negative-absolute systems decrease in entropy when one adds energy to the system. Thus, Cloud Ranger’s material field was inoculated against the terminal decoherence of his native universe due to interaction with foreign particles, and absorbing energy from this interaction boosts the energy-states of his particles toward their maximum boundaries, thus producing the aforementioned simulation of infinite temperature. However, so long as Cloud Ranger’s atoms remain frozen in a particular arrangement, the fine structure constant of his personal volume of space proves variable, shrinking to zero as a consequence of the limitations on his particles’ energy states, with the bizarre effect that any summation over the lowest-possible energy states for all his particulate harmonic oscillators correspondingly yielding an eigenvalue of infinity, reflecting the sum of potential, kinetic, and gravitational energies existing in his native reality’s system of spacetime foliations prior to its spontaneous extinction. In order comprehend any of this, Professor Petrichor had to run Einstein’s field equations in the opposite direction, arbitrarily specific a metric and then finding an associated energy-momentum tensor, with the hope of explaining Cloud Ranger’s implausible distribution of matter and energy. This approach allowed Prof. Petrichor to realize that the time-evolution of Cloud Ranger’s total energy approaches infinity — or rather, that it possess negative entropy — with further research led to the conclusion that this is analogous to a constant simultaneity of superposition, with the time-evolution of his particles’ positions and velocity being impossible to compute; nevertheless, because this vector sum still depends on the relative orientation of intra-molecular forces, and the corresponding asymmetry of positive and negative charges, investigating these bonds allowed Prof. Petrichor to model the geometry of Cloud Ranger’s matter as it exist at absolute zero.

This model led to the important discovery that the arrangement of this uncharged matter, in addition to preserving negative mass, had the dramatic effect of producing a zero-point energy even while the atoms themselves remain in presumed stasis — a function of the deviation of the metric tensor from its prescribed asymptotic form, approaching its upper limit of infinity — equivalent to the vacuum force each particle exerts upon itself and the electromagnetic repulsion at the anti-horizon, which is the ontological minimum for the fine structure variable of Cloud Ranger’s particulate field. This zero-point energy, of course, exists in defiance of the emptiness a vacuum implies, precisely because local energy is always uncertain, while also demonstrating that, because the fine structure constant is in fact a variable, the mass of a nucleon is independent for its radius; but, perhaps most profoundly, for Cloud Ranger’s condition to manifest itself at the classical level, without regard for any principles of renormalization, due to interaction with his exotic matter — phenomena that should only exist at the most minute quantum scales — implies a lack of distinction between the microscopic and macroscopic scales of physics, and leads Prof. Petrichor to theorize later that this zero-point energy might be equivalent to the cosmological constant, which would itself then become a variable, and suggest in turn the possibility that perhaps the universe might be polymorphic, or that a variety of values for cosmological expansion might constitute a polymorphic / polydimensional multiverse.

When the energy from Cloud Ranger’s negative-absolute system is introduced into his foster universe, the result is an acc....
