There are some things that strike me as odd when thinking about the set-up of the Wheel of Time (that is, the in-book-concept of it). <br><br>The Creator created (hence the name) the Wheel of Time, imprisoned the DO (either while he was doing it or b...

Perhaps the "pattern" itself is nothing more than an certain number of threads woven an (approximately)infinite number of times, such that Rand's (or, the Drangon's) "weave" of reality is the only one that doesn't snag, so to speak...so, each soul ex...

This has been noted many times in the books, where less people are found able to channel. The Aes Sedai think it was being culled out of humanity, but I have a different explanation. <br><br>First off, remember that souls are reborn into the world a...

Sorry if this has been brought up before but ive recently realised that tel'aran'rhiod cannot reasonably be a reflection of every world. <br><br>for one thing it reflects the way things are in the world, and if it was a reflection of every world it w...

The essence of the DO has been thoroughly discussed, but not the Creator. Everybody seems to whine that the Creator doesn't do anything actively against the DO. and here's why: <br><br>RJ's world is based on duality- saidin vs saidar, light vs darkne...

What I write is not so much a theory but a question referring to the nature of the three oaths. I know that we have heard the speel from every Aes Sedai that has opened their mouths in the books about there inability to attack people and all that stu...

I'm new to this page, so if this has already been dealt with then sorry... <br><br>OK, the dark one's servants can at times tap into his power, which they call the 'true power' (and I think it was for this that Mierin and co first made the bore). Th...

I'm writing this in kind of an agreement\tribute to dragonsceptor's physics explanation of the types of power. I hope it's clear... <br><br>We are always told about how channelers have different strengths(this is about the overall, not in certain are...

Firstly the Nature. Immortality is by definition being unable to die. But, for the purposes of the wheel of time I think this will not work. Anything CAN happen. So I am going to flow with two different more specific (and not mutually exclusive) defi...

this is probably pointless, but im sure it is somthing robert jordan has thought about and has an answer for... it just interests the heck out of me. <br><br>matter is energy, the two are fairly interchangable no? destroy matter, get energy, therotic...

This theory was created in a discussion on the Message Board some months ago, a discussion about circles (that's why this theory ends with ideas about circles: the initial idea of this theory). I have to thank to everybody, who participated in that d...

In the books- time is depicted as a circle, with events just repeating themselves, and we are moving only a small distance around the diameter with every Age. Yet it doesn't quite seem to fit with the fact that Ishmael talks about the endless vari...

This theory is a speculation about the philosophical ideas, theoretical style and role in the history of Elan Morin Tedronai, before he turned to the Shadow and before he became Ishamael. There is very poor information in the books about it: a short ...

I am assuming two things. Firstly, that Robert Jordan created the story, and is thus always right by definition. Secondly, if a character says they remember something, I assume it actually happened unless we have reason to think otherwise. <br><br>...

I’m stretching the Pattern metaphor a little bit here. Open your mind just wide enough for me to pollute it. Trust me, you’ll either laugh at or curse me for it later.<br><br>Traveling. Men do it by taking two parts of the Pattern, bending them a...

Portal Stones are the natural extension of our science once magic is introduced to the world. There is my attention getter. Here is a warning that the following is rather extemporaneous and tends to wander a bit on the general topic of the nature of...

There are a few points we can work from. These are, of course, assuming that anything in the books is true unless proven otherwise. 1. The Creator and the Dark One are two opposite beings of equal power. 2. The Creator made the plan for the Great Pat...
