Time, Space, and Dimensions / A question about the Black Omen
« on: February 11, 2006, 06:22:57 pm »
I wanted to ask something I don't understand about Black Omen, namely it's temporal existence.

When it rises, there's two possibilities for it's existance in time. These are as follows.

A: It existed that long, naturally crossing into each time period simply by just staying there. The problems with this are twofold: If that was true, wouldn't the people remember it always being there? If I remember correctly, the people of the subsequent time periods speak of it just being there in an instant, not as if it always had been there, and another problem is that it doesn't explain how it went BACK in time to prehistoric times.

B: It began to exist in all time periods at once, putting it outside the normal rules of space/time. This would explain it just popping into existance from the people's perspectives, and it being in all time periods (This is assuming that it was in 1999 AD, which I believe is a sound assumption.) However, if it did indeed exist in all time periods at once, that brings the problem of raiding the Black Omen several times: it should be impossible. If it existed in all time periods at once, then raiding it in one time period should clean it out in ALL time periods it exists in, shouldn't it?

Can someone clear this up?
