Being timeless, dimensionless, locationless, non-corporeal entities. You should ask where space fairies came from. They are, after all, utterly different from anything we understand.
Simply, they are from another universe. First, I’ll explain multiverses…
“Go ask Alice, when she’s ten billion light years tall.”During the Big Bang, space itself expanded faster than the speed of light, creating bubbles of space-time that eventually became separate universes. One of which we are at home. The others are a little different. Though they are all connected through black hole singularities. Like how bubbles are connected in the foam of your beer.
Out of the millions of billions of zillions of possible universes where matter is a tad different. Where the speed of light is slower or a little bit faster. Where our current understanding of physics varies this way or that. Where E=mc² and all the other equations are a little odd, to our eyes, to our brains and where it would be impossible for our bodies to exist at all — the wrong sort of matter. Our atoms: little itty bitty particles and that fussy Higgs field that gives everything, that needs it, weight. None of the atoms in our comfy slippers fits anywhere but within our particular Goldilocks universe.
No, they’re not from there. Not from any of those universes. Though, they were there, at the Big Bang. Our Big Bang. Shaping, guiding, gardening.
Space fairies are from one of the impossible, incomprehensible, bonkers universes. One of those infinite universes we simply cannot even imagine. Where there is no energy, nor matter. No light, nor time. Where our E=mc² is zero=zero x zero². Where all our clever equations are a jumble of rubbish.
There, they are at home. In their comfy slippers.
