The Solarion Project: Alternate Universe |link| -

In this alternate universe, the Earth of the late 21st century was not dying from carbon emissions, but from the cure. The "Atmospheric Shield Initiative," a global geo-engineering project meant to reflect solar radiation and cool the planet, worked too well. It triggered a man-made ice age that froze the equator.

As the beam struck the upper atmosphere, it didn't just punch through the geo-engineering shield. It interacted with the particulate matter in the ice shield. The light didn't just burn; it resonated .

In the context of The Solarion Project, Solaria is one such branch, a universe that diverged from our own at some point in the distant past. The divergence is thought to have occurred due to a fundamental difference in the physical laws that govern the behavior of particles and forces. This, in turn, has led to the evolution of a distinct reality, one that is home to its own version of history, life, and conscious experience.

It was a runaway reaction. The Solarion Project, meant to save humanity from the cold, was turning the Earth into a second sun.
