Dodecahedron Universe or The Twelve Dodecaverses Explained by BJ Neblett

Dodecahedron Universe or The Twelve Dodecaverses Explained

by BJ Neblett

© 2020 by BJ Neblett

And now for something completely different! This is how sci-fi/fantasy writer's minds work when they aren't writing.

Ready for some late-night musings and ramblings? Ok, here goes, but if it keeps you up at night or gets you into arguments I'm not responsible!

The universe, as we know and understand it, is a series of dodecahedrons. There are a total of twelve dodecahedrons, each ‘floating’ inside one another, much the same as Russian Nesting Dolls.

Each dodecahedron has 12 faces, 20 vertices or ‘points’, and 30 edges.

Each of the 12 dodecahedrons is a ‘Dodecaverse’.

Each ‘Dodecaverse’ is of a malleable type consistency, changeable and expandable, while still retaining the basic dodecahedron shape. They ‘float’ in space and may bump into one another.

Each face is a separate universe unto itself, as known to those inhabiting that ‘universe’.

Each of these individual universes are a ‘Twelthverse’.

12 ‘twelthverses’ make up one dodecaverse

There are 12 dodecaverses each with 12 ‘twelthverses’ for a total of 144 ‘twelthverses’.

Each dodecaverse has 30 edges. This is the area where 2 twelthverses touch.

There are 12 dodecaverses each with 30 edges for a total of 360 edges.

Each dodecaverse also has 20 vertices or points. This is where 3 twelthverses come together.

There are 12 dodecaverses each with 20 vertices for a total of 240 vertices or points.

Each edge and point is an area where 2 or 3 twelthverses come together, and thus a place where one may cross over into a different universe or twelthverse.

On each dodecaverse there are 50 areas of crossover or ‘Intraverse’ (20 vertices or points and 30 edges). Intraverse travel may be possible.

Also, as each dodecaverse floats inside of the other, they sometimes encounter one another. This contact provides a bridge to cross between dodecaverses, called Interverse. Interverse travel may also be possible.

Dodecaverses are numbered 1 through 12 from the inside out.

Our own universe, or twelthverse, as we know it, is located on the 6th dodecaverse, on Twelthverse-6-Three.

From our vantage point, we are constantly looking ‘in’ or ‘into’ our dodecaverse, Dodecaverse-Six. We have yet to learn to look out or outside of our dodecaverse towards Dodecaverses 7 through 12.

The planets, stars, suns, and other bodies visible to us from our place in Twelthverse-6-Three are all part of our twelthverse.

All the dodecaverses are expanding at similar, but non-equal, non-constant rates. New dodecaverses may form inside the smallest or Dodecaverse-1. There may already be other dodecaverses within Dodecaverse One too small for us to comprehend. ie: Expanding Universe Theory.

At the beginning or Big Bang, Dodecaverse-1 (as we know it today) was formed by expanding waves of cosmic material. These waves continue to this day, causing the dodecaverses to expand and creating new ones. ie: Big Bang Theory 

Confused yet?


This is an expanded view for clarity. Each dodecaverse 'fits' inside the next. And relative sizing is for example only as well.

Theory:

1)  The other 11 twelthverses on our dodecaverse (Dodecaverse-6) may be considered as different dimensions within the same dodecaverse. These dimensions may be anywhere from similar or parallel, to different or non-parallel from our own dimension. It is quite possible that the further away from one’s home twelthverse into other twelthverses or dimensions, the more dissimilar they may become. The five twelthverses bordering our own (Twelthverses-6-One, 6-Two, 6-Four, 6-Five, 6-Six) may be only slightly different from ours, with each differing from the other. The other twelthverses which do not border ours (Twelthverse-6-Seven, 6-Eight, 6-Nine, 6-Ten, 6-Eleven, 6-Twelve) would be much more dissimilar from ours, with each being different from the other, but slightly alike the ones they touch.

2)    The other dodecaverses ‘inside’ of our own may represent our past, each one a step, linear or non-linear, further back then the other. Dodecaverse-1 being further into our past than Dodecaverse-5. As we move further into our future, the passage of time as we understand it, more dodecaverses are formed within what we know at this moment in time as Dodecaverse-1.

3)  It is possible, if a future does exist simultaneously with our present, that the ‘outer’ dodecaverses (Dodecaverse-7 through 12) is that future. The nearest, Dodecaverse-7 being a near future and the furthest, Dodecaverse-12 being the distant future.

Ok, I warned you. Questions? Comments? Please feel free to comment below. If I have any more sleepless revelations I'll be sure to let you know!

Year-End Wrap Up, More Quotes, and More by BJ Neblett

Year-End Wrap Up, More Quotes, and More by BJ Neblett

Looks like we made it, sort of speak, to the end of another year. And who isn't glad to see this one end? As usual, here is a bit of a wrap-up of what I've been up to while forced to hunker down for the duration. 
If nothing else, this forced lockdown has been good for the creative process. Much to my publisher's delight, I finished Planet-Alt-Sete-Nine Book Two: Princess Haylee. It should be hitting bookstores and online sellers in February. I'll keep you posted. Also, I have a good head start on book three, tentatively titled War of the Wizards. Finger's crossed for a late 2021 release. Also, later in the year, look for the paperback release of my New Millennialism contemporary fantasy collection of short stories, Wouldn't It Be Funny If.. to be released. And speaking of which, from now until January 1st, Wouldn't It Be Funny If... is available in all ebook formats for only .99 through Smashwords.
With Covid-19, it would seem that writing is about all I have to report for 2020. But that writing has produced a number of quotes which are already being talked about and gaining in popularity. So below is the yearly addendum to my growing list of popular quotes, a list of my available books, and a list of sites where you can learn more about me than you probably care to know.
Click the links below, and as always, like, link and comment!
Have a great, happy, and safe holiday. C 'ya on the other side!
Peace,
BJ

Falling In Love All Over Again by BJ Neblett

 Falling In Love All Over Again by BJ Neblett

Meet Amy. When I was 15 I worked in a music store. Even with my discount, a Martin D18 cost $700! A lot of money. Then the Yamaha piano salesman came in with this guitar. Yamaha was wanting to get into the guitar business. They had their piano craftsmen hand build a limited number of guitars, using the same materials as their quality pianos.
I fell in love with this FG180, an EXACT copy of Martin's famous D18. It looked, felt, handled, and most importantly sounded every bit as good as the Martin. Amy, this Yamaha FG180 came home with me that very day.
65 years and many guitars later, I took her down from the wall today, and rekindled a life long romance. She has been all over the world with me, and she looks, plays and sounds even better then the day I got her.
As a footnote: Yamaha went on to manufacture guitars, eventually building a plant in Formosa. The original Red Label guitars are the most desirable, built from 1965 to about 1972. But...Amy, according to Yamaha's convoluted numbering system, is #9 of the original 50 or so hand built in the piano factory.

Anyone else out there have a vintage instrument they have kept and love?

Stay safe.

BJ

Books, Books, More Books And Quotes by BJ Neblett

 Books, Books, More Books And Quotes by BJ Neblett

Hello again. I thought I'd give you a bit of diversion from clicking the refresh button on the Black Friday sale of Nintendo Switch while you try and digest your turkey. Oh, I got my Switch with a Mario Kart 8 bundle on Wednesday. It took from 4 PM until 8:30 PM but was worth the effort. Anyway, for those of you who are familiar with the yearly NaNoWriMo, I've been using it as an incentive to get a jump on Book 3 of Planet Alt-Sete-Nine. I finished Book 2 Princess Haylee and it is in the hands of my publisher. He promises a February, 2021 release. Also, my very talented writer buddy KJ McPike put the cap on her Astrilis series and has started a new series and we fell into this friendly competition, as we always seem to do. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in the 30 days of November. With two days to go, KJ and I are about neck and neck. Thing is, I'm just writing words, getting chapters fleshed out. KJ, perfectionist that she is, I'm sure is pumping out wonderful first drafts. Come December, when we start exchanging chapters as we do to critique (read: tear apart) each other's work, I'll be getting neat and orderly structure, while she'll be getting my hot mess. Serves her right... KJ's book, Paths Uncertain is the final chapter in the Souls Untethered Saga, and is available everywhere.

By the way, links to all the works sited are within the text as well as below. Just click the highlight!

As release date draws closer, I'll post a short preview of Book two Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee. And hopefully, down the line I'll post some quick excerpts of Book Three Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War Of The Wizards here for your enjoyment.

In the mean time, the book of quotes I mention a few posts back has just been released. The Motivational Book Of Poetry And Quotes is published by the good folks at Wingless Dreamer and has some stirring works of poetry and memorable quotes, including two of mine. It is beautifully hard bound and a great addition to book shelves and coffee table tops. Check it out.

Ok, back to writing. Can't let KJ get a head of me. And, since I'm planning on the paperback release of my New Millennialism collection of short stories Wouldn't It Be Funny If... to also be released in 2021, I figure maybe I can give my publisher a heart attack by sending him a third book within one year. Might be good for sales. I can see the headlines now: THE BOOK THAT KILLED A MAN! 

Ha! Take care and have a great and safe holidays.

New Book Finished New Book Started by BJ Neblett

 New Book Finished New Book Started by BJ Neblett

“Our destinies were set in the heavens long before the suns and stars were born. You must remember that everything has its purpose, and everything happens for a reason. I am here for a reason.

With that prophetic statement, the Great Wizard Inhodu explains his presence to Princess Haylee. Book three of Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: War of the Wizards is well under way. The muse has been beating away at me non-stop, so I figured I'd dive right into book three.

Meanwhile, book two Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee is at the publishers and looking for a late January or early February 2021 release. Naturally it will be available in ebook and paperback, and sold through Amazon and your favorite neighborhood book store.

Keep watching for updates.

More to come!

Quotes Publication And Princess Haylee Update by BJ Neblett

 Quotes Publication And Princess Haylee Update by BJ Neblett


Hello again. I hope all are staying well in mind, body and soul during these crazy times. Myself, I'd been hunkered down right here behind my keyboard, which actually is the reason for today's blog.

First off, I have once again been honored by having two of my popular quotes selected for publication. The good folks at Wingless Dreamer are compiling a book of inspirational quotes, which will include two of my favorites. It should be out around October or November, and be available in paperback. Keep checking here for updates on release and where you can score a copy.

I've also been hard at work on Princess Haylee, book two in my Planet Alt-Sete-Nine series. If having to stay at home most of the time has one advantage it's the fact that I've gotten quite a bit accomplished. A couple of more chapters, some intense editing, and then it's off to my publisher. It is looking like a January or February release date, and of course you'll be able to pick up ebook or paperback copies from Amazon or your favorite book seller. Again, check back for up dates.

Finally, I know it has been a rough year for everyone. It really sucked that so many of the comic cons and sci-fi/fantasy conventions had to be canceled. No one is more disappointed than yours truly. As things change and we all are able to get back out to the real world again, you can be sure I'll be back on the road again, signing books and meeting with my fans. If you are in the greater northwest, check your area for an upcoming comic con or book convention in 2021 and I'll see you there. For those who live in other parts of the country, we are working hard on expanding our coverage! If you have a favorite convention you enjoy in your area, drop me an email via the address below and to the right and tell me about it. 

Peace,

BJ

Who Said That Redux by BJ Neblett

Who Said That Redux by BJ Neblett

This post is way overdue. Years ago, answering many requests, I posted a list of what had become the most popular quotes, from my books, stories, poems, and musings. That post quickly became, and remains one of my most popular blogs. Thank you!
Since that time I have had two more books, with two more on the way soon, and several short stories published. And as always, am often asked by readers where a certain line they saw or hear originated. So, here you are, better late than never I guess. Enjoy and feel free to share... with the proper attribution of course!
Thanks!
Peace,
BJ

BJ's Library (So Far) by BJ Neblett

BJ's Library (So Far) by BJ Neblett

While we are all hunkering down like good little soldiers, waiting for the inevitable (don't ask, despite by last post I try not to get political here) many of us have re-discovered the joy of reading. Some of you have even held a real book for the first time in a very long time... or maybe even the first time! Good for you! Proof once again that positive things can come from even the.... never mind.
Anyway, I've been busy working on book two of my Planet Alt-Sete-Nine series. Hopefully Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee will be on the shelves early 2021, and you'll be able to actually go to the book store (remember those?) without fear of being harassed the Mask Police.
So here it is, my irregularly published list of all of my current publications. Click on the titles for a quick link to purchase!
Peace,
BJ

Planet Alt-Sete-Nine: The Lost Princess is my latest offering. Ever wonder while playing a video game what it would be like to live in that game? Nope, this ain't no Tron clone. There are plenty of creatures, weapons, aliens, humans, lovers, fighters, saboteurs, and plot twists to keep you coming back for more. And luck for you, more is on the way via Book Two: Princess Haylee. If you enjoy video games, action adventures, sci-fi/fantasy, creatures, beautiful sexy heroins (who doesn't?) and good old fashion who-done-its, this one is for you.

Elysian Dreams is one of my earlier works and was received with praise and accolades (always wanted to receive praise and accolades, problem is they are intangible commodities) As the sub-title suggest, Dreams takes the read on a wild time traveling trip, ricocheting between 1929 and 1989 as three disparate people's lives continue to intersect as each searches their dreams while seeking their destiny. Literary fiction at its sci-fi/fantasy best. I promise you won't see the plot twists coming!

Wouldn't It Be Funny If... Enjoy short stories? Who doesn't? Enjoy short stories that make you go, "Hummm...?" This compilation is for you. After writing these gems my publisher asked, "What genre is this?" Good question. So I coined the term New Millenalism to describe these and other great new stories with tech at its core. Kinda of a Twilight Zone for the 21st century.
Right now Wouldn't It Be Funny If... is available in all popular ebook formats including PDF and plain text. Look for a paperback edition coming in 2021.

Beyond The Hedge As if all of the other quality stories from great new authors was enough reason to pick up this gem, it also contains one of my favorite and most popular short stories, Rain at The Intersection Of Tomorrow. Within lies some fantastic contemporary sci-fi and fantasy tales.
Check on line and local bookstores to secure your copy.
If you have trouble finding a copy of Beyond The Hedge, drop me a line. I have some tucked away for conventions and book signings. I might just sign a copy for you!

Something a little different, Ice Cream Camelot is a memoir... my own memoir of growing up in early 60's Philadelphia. But be warned! This isn't the Wonder Years and I wasn't your typical suburban transplant. Come to think of it, my family wasn't your typical suburbanite family either. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder how I ever made it adulthood. Sometimes I wonder myself.
"A fun read. The 60's version of The Catcher In The Rye."
                       Review of Ice Cream Camelot

Ok, there you have it, my books so far (at least the ones I admit to publicly). JK! If you do a quick search on the internet you'll find many more of my short stories sprinkled about among on line and paper publications including: Creative Nonfiction Magazine, eFiction and Romance Magazine.
Also, Summer 2021 is a target date for the release of my collection of romance stories, Never Let A Vegetarian Pack Your Lunch And Other Love Stories. You won't want to miss this one!

Til next time, keep reading and keep thinking for yourself. You'll be surprised what you find!
Peace,
BJ
