34 - Mirrors Are Real Because Our Eyes Are Real [2023.03]

“Spike, check this out!”

Spike looked in the direction Twilight was pointing at. “It’s a mirror.”

“That’s what I’ve always assumed as well, but my research shows that we live in a multiverse. The world is in the eyes of the beholder, yet our eyes are real, so what we see must be real as well. Therefore, every mirror is a doorway to an identical universe.”

“That’s ridiculous. Look, if this was a doorway, I could walk through it.” He tapped on the mirror. “And clearly, I can’t do that.”

“You can; there is no barrier between this world and that one. It’s just that Spike on the other side tapped at your claw at the same time you did. That’s what stopped you from reaching into the mirror dimension.”

“You’re insane,” said Spike in the second dimension to Twilight and walked away from the mayhem.
