[ tracer doesn't seem too bad. she's not as grouchy as wells, not as secretive and whispery as thawne. in fact, she reminds him of jesse, warm and completely endearing. if that isn't a good sign to barry, then he doesn't know what is. that anxiety he often feels whenever such terms are tossed around to explain others withers. ]
[ idg string theory but here we go: ]
I've always wanted to go spelunking in a cave ... Maybe we could find some strings there?
But not the point.
Well, string theory tries to explain everything. You know how sometimes I kind of get really obsessive over Beyonce so I google her and know everything about her, from her early life and how she got her start, Destiny's Child's revolving bandmates, the drama, how they broke up, the meaning of their songs, the production of their songs, the people involved ... and even the vocal analysis of her voice? It's kind of like that.
String theory would probably help us explain Wonderland and all the different earths but … I guess, in Iris Talk, it's like how your clothes are made of threads, or strings. It unites everything. It's meant to bring two scientific theories together to make sense of the universe. Quantum physics and gravity.
What Tracer's saying is that, to her, I guess time hopping and world hopping are the same, or they're linked. It's probably similar to how I can go to Earth-2 and I can go to the past. We don't really view it the same since Earth-2 is a completely different world to ours, right? Like whatever I do in the past won't affect that life there, so we kind of think it's not connected. But string theory would say that it is.
If ... I went back in time and ... instead of dating Becky Cooper, I didn't date anyone at all, that would affect the timeline, right? String theory's saying that Earth-2 would be affected, too. Maybe that Barry didn't date Becky Cooper, but if he dated someone else in school, maybe that would be different because of me going back and changing that one little thing. It's a ripple effect because it's connected via a string.
Or ... Earth-2 Iris became a cop because Joe said no to you, so your decision not to be a cop caused a ripple effect that propelled Iris from E-2 to be a cop. Like maybe the string means that both Irises can't be the same, so one goes off to be a future winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and the other becomes the Director of CCPD. You're connected by a string. E-1 and E-2 can't be the same, maybe because that's the rule of the string tying E1 Iris and E2 Iris together.

Does that make sense?
