Pathway 1

Weilm's path

---

Path; a route or track between one place and another, or the direction in which something is moving

This is a concept humans have been speculating about for years, and they have described these so-called paths in many different ways. You may know them as "wormholes", but that was their given name when the theory was just that; a theory.

Now, like black holes, theories of pathways have been confirmed and the calculations seem to be somewhat correct. Though the theory at first was looked down upon and even ridiculed by many high-standing scientists, it is now widely accepted in the scientific community.

History

The first hint that would later lead to the theories of pathways, was when looking at the galaxies around us, and also our own. The physics we had for describing physical phenomena was our building blocks in scientific research. Though some studies and theories had already made hints about the “classical thinking” wasn’t the whole story; Einstein and Lorentz were one of those people.

First discovery

In the year 2097 by Thaolin Meriday and her scientific crew.

They suggested that something fundamental was missing in our understanding of the universe, though they couldn’t link this new way of thinking together with the old ways. Something was still missing, that would eventually link these to ways of seeing the universe together. The progress came to a standstill when our apparatuses and technology wasn’t advanced enough to give us the progress we needed.

In later years, a new spark in the study was created when Weilm Meriday published his research and theory of pathways. His new way of seeing the matter made room for new discussions and research. Though we still weren’t able to confirm anything when looking through data from observations.

"Even though dark matter and dark energy aren't visible to our eyes, it still holds a mysterious amount of unknown science to be explored. Those words should excite any scientists!" - Weilm

When his daughter Thaolin took up his dad’s research after his death, the puzzle started to look more and more finished. Throughout her career in physics, she searched for evidence of pathways and could call her mission a success at age 39 (The Year 2097).
Pathways existence completely changed the view of our universe and it’s fundament. The first pathway ever found, was named in honour of the first theorist Weilm (and it is also called pathway 1.)

Science of pathways - The Fundamentals

First, we must have a fundamental understanding of where this theory bloomed from. Dark matter and dark energy have been theorised to exist for many years but we weren’t able to observe it.

A pathway is a point in space that connects to another with dark energy. The pathway itself is a place in space (and possibly time) where the concentration of dark matter is extremely high. When Thaolin made her working model of pathways, she already understood the physics of dark energy and dark matter - and so did every other scientist.
You can’t describe pathways properly without understanding dark energy/matter. It’s the same as with gravity. How would you describe it if you didn’t have a concept of a force? Now, this is all kinda spacey, and at times - well maybe most of the times - hard to grasp.

But understanding dark matter/energy is the building stones for understanding and seeing the potential in pathways. Because dark matter and dark energy is a completely different concept than the known particles and energy forms we can see and detect, scientists weren't sure how to prove they existed.

If it doesn't interact with gravity or light, certainly it must interact with something else... Something we haven't thought of yet. - Thaolin

Dark matter and dark energy have been assigned symbols to represent them (See table underneath). These symbols are made by the Nadvë long before humans even knew about particles and forces like this. Humans adapted the symbols after it was made clear what they meant.

Dark matter

Dark matter doesn’t have a charge, as in, the particles that would be dark matter, doesn’t have a positive nor negative charge. This is also the case for the known particle called neutrinos. And in a sense, the two particles have a lot of parallels.

Dark energy

Like dark matter, dark energy is only speculations and mathematical calculations that predict its existence.

Interaction with space-time

Because pathways is a concentrated point of mass and energy, it will interact with Space-time and might be detectable in that way. This is the only known way to find pathways, dark matter and dark energy (which is all connected in some way). Space-time can be stretched, pressed together and warped, and this is exactly how pathways works - well there is a bit more to it than that.
