Mage of Chaos: Theory on the Universe - pt. 2

In continuing this multi-part explanation of the Universe, we move to Moordikiin. His passion for magic and need to discover the fundamental rules of the Universe led him to both study and refute Dilmoth's principles.

Moordikiin’s Theory: Dilmoth’s theory is fouled in several ways, but the most important reasons are: from where were the planes created and from what. He ignores the premise of which an omnipotent being may have existed before the rest of the universe. This leads me to believe in the existence of two additional points of presence and the existence of additional planes existing parallel to ours, yet having an opposite directional scope.
First, let’s look at the two points of presence to which I refer. They are Time and Energy, existing at opposing ends of the planes. Time can be described as the probable existence of everything without the energy to create it while Energy is everything in existence without the time to manipulate it. This theory functions if one believes matter is just energy existing at a set point in time. This can be and has been proven to some degree in multiple experiments.
Now, starting with energy, as we will travel away from that point toward time we will see if the theory has validity. As one travels further away for an energy source, for instance fire, the heat is spread out over a larger volume of space thereby dissipating its effectiveness though the same amount of energy exists. The same principle occurs between Energy and Time. As energy radiates outward toward time it dissipates and thus takes on physical characteristics. The further it travels away from the source and toward time the less energy exists in the given area while time becomes a greater factor. With this in mind, let’s view the order of which the planes exist. Starting with energy, the next plane of existence would be the Deity Plane where energy exists with very little reference to time. Therefore, the gods’ tremendous power and ability to see past, present, and future since time is very malleable in lesser amounts, and thereby allowing the Gods to appear omnipotent.
Further down the line are the Ethereal Planes. The energy has dissipated enough and time has a strong enough presence to change energy into matter. The Ethereal Planes of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth are actually the four states of matter, which are Plasma, Gas, Liquid, and Solid. Dilmoth, like the philosophers before him, described the Ethereal Plane as best they could by relating the four states of matter to their most common and relatable materials thus enabling the peasants to understand them.
Between the Ethereal Planes and the Living Plane exists the Astral Plane. This Astral Plane exists in a state of flux providing enough energy and time to create anything, yet dissipating the creation when no longer the focus. This plane also provides a conduit to the other planes of existence; those being Heaven, Hell, etc… which exist not within the Astral Plane but, in fact, bridging across the Ethereal Planes themselves by the power of the gods. The last plane of existence before Time is the Living Plane. Time exists as a near constant there. It is where energy has mostly become matter, therefore, time can be measured and energy can be easily manipulated into physical properties.
However, just as Time and Energy are opposites, so must our universe be the opposite of a parallel universe having similar yet opposite polarities. Therefore, I believe the Living Universe is actually a Positive Material Plane with an opposite Negative Material Plane existing on the other side of Time. This would also mean the existence of a Negative Ethereal Planes, a Negative Astral Plane, and a Negative Deity Plane. The main difference between the positive and negative planes is the flow of time, which would flow in the opposite direction of ours.
