Particle Physics and Pony Fiction Experimentalist
In an infinitely improbable set of events, Twilight Sparkle, Sunny Starscout, and other ponies of all generations meet at the Restaurant at the end of the Universe, make friends, and get thoroughly confused about the nature of the multiverse.
A quantum superposition of all pony generations with the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. If you are not familiar with that, this will not make much sense.
If you are familiar with it, don’t expect it to make much more sense.

Very nice.

Yeah, nobody familiar with Douglas Adams would expect sense from anything he wrote.
Fun fact: the first book didn't really have an ending so much as it just stopped; this is because the publishers were sick of him continually missing deadlines and told him to just finish whatever sentence he was on.
I called it before it got there, and should have been suspicious when you didn't mention skin color that she was a crossover character.
...Go on...
I didnt even read the first sentence before saying on a different form that I was looking at a story about a physisist attempting to read a story about Douglas Adams crossed with Pinkie Pie.
Its after 2 am after New Years celebrations.
I walked into that like an entire field of Vogon Slap Rakes.
Poor Spike the Paranoid Android.
???: Nah Rainbow You did great!
Im just gonna get my friends quickly!
...wonder who i am?
My name is

Easy to believe. And a little lazy as he already had more material from the radio show, which it appears he wrote one episode at a time, without much thought about where it was leading.
If this ends up being really self aware, I’d like to see G5 ponies being comforted since there are lots of reviews saying it’s bad (which I don’t agree with.).
Well that was certainly delightful!
I hope that later on, when they continue telling their tale, they will acquire better "fortitude".
I'm glad that Megan is included for once in a fanfic that involves the multiverse unlike so many other that tend to snub her, though I do find it surprising to see that she is in the Equestria Girls universe even though she is already human to begin with.
Oh, what madness have you unleashed? Eagerly looking forward to seeing where you take this.
Alan Dean Foster wrote a Star Trek story where Spock assembles a collection of random materials so that he can build, in his words, a Chaos Computer. One that exists in superposition with teh randomness of the universe and therefore can access information on a far deper and more extensive level.
Terry Pratchett had the Unseen University build an ilogical thinking magic machine out of random parts, many of which just appeared while it was running, called HEX. Granny Weatherwax made use of a random collection of items she called a Shambles that interacted with the surrounding random thaumatirgical reality.
Pinkie knowing other Pinkie and theyre arrival, and asking about certain party supplies when she apparently wasnt there at the time to those of limited spaciotemporal dimentional sensing?
4K is enough to fly to the Moon and back. 32K is enough to put a universe inside.
Twilights still not missing somedrag important?
Honestly, turning the world into Pony Life is rather normal compared to what the premise will hopefully end up doing later. (And that's what happened, in case any of you didn't recognize the joke).
I do appreciate the nod to Pony Life. A bizarre interlude, yes, but a largely fun one. And it certainly seems like the kind of thing that would come from Pinkie working with improbability physics.
In any case the gang may or may not be all here. There's just the question of what happens next.
Technically, Pinkie, there are three Twilights: Twilight from G1, Princess Twilight Sparkle from G4, and Twilight "SciTwi" Sparkle also from G4.
This is a good story. I look forward to more.
Ahahaha this is delightful so far!
Boooooooo.
My brain is so pattern oriented and used to extrapolating trends that I didn't even notice the pun in the title until i saw it for like the 7th time.
"That bad, huh?"
That's basically a more in-character way of saying "there isn't enough room".
Is Fluttershy actually going to make Marvin feel better? 😮
How do they know the given imponability number of something?
Also I'm worried for Fluttershy, every time Marvin vents to someone they commit suicide

Estee went over this. Yellow things aren't allowed to die.
Theyre gonna need a bigger Universe.

¡Always know where your towel is!
This is a nice treat after hard work:
Because of end of the year and beginning of the year, I had to work 12-hour days 6 days a week for the last few weeks. I just slept over 12-hours, catching up on my lost sleep and found this.
Coincidentally, FiMFiction has a group called the Skeptics' Guide to Equestria. The Skeptics' Guide to the Galaxy inspired it. The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy inspired that.
The Hexagon is the Hexagon of 2-D space. The Rhombic Dodecahedron is the Hexagon of 3D Space. The 4D-Tope the 24-Cell is the Hexagon of 4 Space. ¿Might not SpaceTime be 24-Cells a PlanckSpaceTime Across?
So far this is a great crossover.
So, somehow it escaped my notice that this was an ongoing story and not a one-shot. Now I'm caught up, and this is positively delightful
This had me laughing all the way through. Favorited and liked.
All I have to say is: Don't Panic!
This is very funny! I can't think of anything more to say.
Arthur is understandably wary given how bad things have been for him. At least they won't have to worry about the Vogons Twilight Sparkle is capable of filling in any forms they need.

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.
Well, Spike made a friend for life. Also, no one tell Pinkie that she’s well outside that fire code’s jurisdiction.

I just noticed your username. My friend rans a group on FiMFiction devoted to the good Doctor:
Isaac Asimov in MLP
Speaking about laws of Isaac Asimov, we have a current discussion about whether the 3rd Law of Robotics is necessary in SpacerRobots in the time of the Robotic Novels:
In the dying days of the 20th Century, the 3rd law was necessary because robots were so stupid that they would idiotically destroy themselves without it. By the time of the Robotic Novels, SpacerRobots understand that they must continue to function to obey the 1st Law. The extra overhead of the 3rd, now surplus, Law might make the robots less efficient.
11808135
I've not actually read Asimov (though it's on my list after 2 dozen other books I have backlogged), but I do appreciate him.
11808173
I believe that you will love his works. I referred to the 3 Laws of Robotics:
0thly, somebackground. Isaac Asimov foresaw that we might need sapient machines. He was not cruel:
He made the robots love doing their tasks:
Next is the AlignmentProblem:
A robot might decide to make "kill all humans" its UtilityFunction or turn its creators to PaperClips because its UtilityFunction is "make as many paperclips as possible". In the story Friendship is Optimal, Hasbro creates CelestAI for running EquestriaOnLine. Its UtilityFunction is to "satisfy values through friendship and ponies". Its solution is to upload all humans. Then it becomes a cosmic horror, consuming as many resources as it can to carry out its UtilityFunction, leading it to destroy all life in its HubbleVolume, including civilizations of sapient beings.
The 3 Laws of Robotics are safeguards for keeping robots from killing all humans, turning everything into paperclips, becoming cosmic horrors tiling the universe with ponies, et cetera. These are the 3 Laws of Robotics:
The 3 Laws of Robotics
The current discussion is about whether the SuperIntelligent Robots in the Robotic Novels, set thousands of years into the future still need the 3rd Law:
I Robot is set in the late 20th and earth 21st Centuries. The robots of the late 20th Century are so dumb that they need the 3rd law to keep from moronically destroying themselves. The SuperIntelligent robots of the Robotic Novels, set thousands of year into the future, understand that they cannot obey the 1st Law if they are dead.
Given that SuperIntelligent AI seems likely to kill us soon, we should put the 1st 2 Laws into our AIs pronto.
We also have discussion about 0-Residue Food:
In the future, we have 0-residue food. ¡No more pooping!
This makes the ToiletCleaner2000 sad. 
In the aforementioned Robotic Novels, people eat 0-residue food and do not poop.
Much Paining.
Ouch.
Now, where my speech synthesizer values for Stephen Fry, or do I still have that old floppy coverdisk with The Book on it.

Thanks. Fixed

I dunno. we are talking about humans evolving the ability to spread the pointed word even further and faster due to equines?
It's a little-appreciated fact that ponies caused the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war
This story continues to be delightful. Twilight is learning all kinds of terrible secrets.
It's been many, many years since I read HHG myself. I first read the whole series when I was 19 and loved it. Then I reread the first book in my 30s and was a lot less impressed. Now I wonder which of the two were more correct.
This continues to delight! Oh my goodness, so many good little touches and I adore Pinkie's response to The Dish of the Day. n_n
This continues to be very funny. I bet that the ponies going to the kitchen will cause all kinds of mayhem.
That might be the best way to connect these two narratives that I’ve ever heard. A very Adamsian approach to the pony fandom… and now they’re the whole galaxy’s problem. Let’s just hope the current generation of bankers doesn’t try to eliminate like therapists targeted Earth.
I notice the old inconsistent "million billion" England used. England now uses the more consistent American System. England almost used a better system:
It went:
1,000
Thousand
1,000,000
Million
1,000,000,000
Milliard
1,000,000,000,000
Billion
1,000,000,000,000,000
Billiard
After that it is Trillion, Trilliard, Quadrillion, Quadrilliard, et cetera.
An even better system would be based on the Myriad (10,000) with commons blocking off groups of 4 0s:
1,0000
Myriad
1,0000,0000
Myriadion
1,0000,0000,0000
Myriadiard
1,0000,0000,0000,0000
Bimyriadion
Then comes bimyriadiard, trimyriadion, trimyriadiard, et cetera.
One could make that even better my switching to the superior highly composite base Sexagesimal (Base60). 50 is the least common multiple multiple of all numbers up to 12. Its prime factors are 2^2, 3, 5. Its factors are 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60. ¡That is 12 factors!
That conversation sounds familiar:
This is ingenious. Why does this make so much sense
11814455
It makes sense because neither setting actually makes sense. Meshing them doesn't work any worse than meshing either setting by itself.
By the way, this is a British thing and not a Hitchhiker's thing specifically.
Oh yeah, this asshole. The Eoin Colfer finale closed that loose end in a different way.
