"...in a way," Yamato sighed. "Quantum Decoherence is an alternative explanation of something similar to Wave Function Collapse. It is the loss of coherence, or ordering of phase angles, between the components of a system in a quantum superposition."

Yamato paused here, slowly mulling the topic over in an attempt to try and dumb it down. It was quite easy to understand once you understood the terms, however he had a feeling that Daichi simply wasn't understanding it at all. Hrm.

"I will make it easy for you, returning to our earlier topic of alternative worlds." He held up his hands, making a cupping motion as if holding a ball, "Imagine that within Time, all possible events and scenarios that can and would happen, have happened, all simultaneously."

Yamato moved his hands away, tracing two imaginary lines moving away from each other with his fingers, "However, with Quantum Decoherence, humans can only interpret only one string of events occurring - a timeline, if you will, therefore allowing multiple timelines to exist from one singular source."

Yamato dropped his hands. "I 'interpreted' Time differently to you," he frowned. It wasn't entirely correct, but it was the best thing he could come up with in such short notice and with such simple language. Hrm, he would have to force Shijima to read up on the subject so he could discuss it better with him. "Therefore my timeline occurred differently to yours. Understand?"
