[@samiboismak4491]

The concept of the back rooms being a man made horror to solve a problem is such a new and fresh take on the idea and I’m so here for it. Lovely art

[@purgenta]

i remember there actually being a theory in the backrooms community where the government created it, i feel like these videos are trying to follow a similar formula relating to that theory, except the fact that a company called the "Async Foundation" created the Backrooms.

[@defensivekobra3873]

It just makes sense, why else would it look so much like the artifice of man? What do these kinds of rooms normally get used for?

[@cinemasurge1851]

I was thinking it was a accidental creation

[@novustalks7525]

It's better when it's simple tbh

[@rileyclarke6594]

I would just like to ask, where do you think this suggests that the Back Rooms are man made? To me this video shows an almost successful test of this reality breaking doorway, and has an explanation of the surface goals of this organization (that the Back Rooms can be used as storage or housing, although I believe that this is merely a front to acquire funding and to justify research). I don't see anywhere in this video, or in Kane Pixels' other videos, that this is some sort of man-made creation or an accident.

[@haydensmith859]

Here's my interpretation. Perhaps Async thought that they could create the first artificial (human made) dimension in order to accomplish their objective to provide additional space for storage. However, in their attempt to create a new dimension, Async unintentionally opened a door to an existing one. The Backrooms mostly have stuff that is also made by humans (the wallpaper, ceiling lights, carpet, etc) however, if an endless number of alternate dimensions/realities/universes exist then there's an endless variety in appearances. This means that such dimensions that have never been accessed by humans may still look human made in appearance .

[@theprogram863]

Maybe... but the proposal talks about finding unlimited storage/residential space. Then the video shows the third attempt, which doesn't quite manage to successfully open the door to the Backrooms. That implies that they knew about the environment in the Backrooms before they got funding and built all the expensive equipment to create the gateway. I'm thinking it was a ruse to get government support, and they knew all along about the other realm, _before_ they got funding and built a permanent entrance. So how did Async know, and what were they really trying to do? Probably the part that's most accessible to humans is the zone that corresponds to the current culture. From there, you can wander into past/future human environments if you survive long enough and manage to go deep enough within. Go far enough, and maybe there are zones that correspond to alien architecture. In that case, just as humans might wander to past/future/alien zones, maybe aliens occasionally wander into the zone we see, and that's what the creatures are: lost, lonely, probably insane entities that are just as trapped. My other idea is that the creatures might be humans who've been trapped for so long that they've long since gone insane and glitched into... things. The Backrooms keeps them alive (no need to eat/drink/sleep) but also slowly mutates them. Not just changes their DNA, but actually changes the physics of how their bodies work. Escape soon enough and you get sick but recover. Later on, if you leave you die, leaving a body like the one they autopsied. Wait too long and what gets out just disintegrates, not even chemically viable enough to remain a recognizable corpse. That would make sense of the date discrepancy in the first video.

[@blepblep7245]

i think they tried to make a manmade pocket universe that they designed/programmed for housing/storage/workspace. but instead it ended up being so glitchy and faulty they themselves don't even know the actual maps/design anymore, bc these space can shift/teleport when it glitches (which is shown in one of the vids). that's why it still has the intended design of an office, library, housing, storage, etc but they all ended up being repeated, distorted, and jumbled bc of all the messy glitches. this also explains the weird timeline, bc shit can be teleported from the past into the future. in one of the video a guy said "this isn't safe sir" while the portal is opening, i think some of them had anticipated these glitches bc they know the design/code/technology is not ready to use yet. but some members kept on pushing. as for portals randomly popped out of nowhere in the real world i think it's bc the portal coordinate is also really glitchy.

[@blepblep7245]

@@theprogram863 i think they know they can open the backrooms and that it is there bc they designed it. made plans, maps and all that shit for the manmade pocket universe so it can be used as storage room, housing, workspace, etc. eventually someone in the project push things to work when it's not rlly ready and the whole space got rlly glitchy. that's why the backroom is so jumbled, bc spaces can shift/teleport as seen in one of the videos (the one where an async personnel is shown stranded from his group bc the spaces glitches).

@@blepblep7245 "in hindsight, it was unbelievably foolish of us to think we had made it. Bridged it? Certainly. Altered it? (Unless you think the universal macro-quantum meta-strata looks like an old Sears break room), of course. but we did not _make_ it. We didn't make it in the same sense that the flint of a lighter's striker doesn't make clouds of gasoline fumes. It simply makes them visible and tangible in the most violently destructive and deadly way possible. That's what it all was, merely catalyzed by & crystalized upon the structures we gave it. We popped bottles of champagne when it was confirmed the test "worked". Now the mere thought of champagne makes me sick to my stomach. How undeserving of joy we all were. All we did was strike a match against the gas leak of the cosmos and spawn a mighty, terrible blaze. A blaze soon about to swallow humanity whole. I should have murdered Ivan Beck when I had the chance."

[@moonasha]

I like the idea that there are infinite parallel dimensions that are just blank matter, and the creation of a structure in one of these tabula rasas propagates like a crystal, building on itself, which explains the infinite fractal nature of the backrooms. Scientists meddled with one such dimension, using an old office building as the template, which is why the backrooms look the way they do. But of course in nature, crystals are very rarely perfect, which is why you see this bastardized version of reality in the backroom. Theoretically, the original office building template should be at the center of this universe. Any insects, bacteria, mold, fungus within the template would be altered in propagation. Pretty interesting lore.

[@higgsbonbon]

Very few people seem to be reading into it this way which is unfortunate. As though an infinite office space has existed indepentent of humanity up untill this point... smh.

[@alexanderg1935]

[@rleriche5044]

Peeps need to read this comment.

[@tiko-]

Spot on. I think the latest video ("I Remember") confirms this theory with lots of allusions to fractals, not to mention all the fractal stuff we've seen so far. I do think that there's a missing ingredient to it, something that ties together the backrooms with reality in a subtle way, and A-Sync's machine blasted a fractal office-shaped tunnel into it.

[@DissonanceEngineer]

For those wondering what the idea of this is, watch his first two Backrooms videos - this one in particular suggests that the purpose, at least the stated one given to the US Government in order to secure funding, was to be able to generate practically infinite amounts of rooms to be used either as storage space or even housing, which would save massive amounts of space and money. It looks like this would be footage of the first succesful 'breakthrough' into that other level of reality. Easily my favorite take on the whole thing I've yet encountered and the execution is freakishly well done.

[@Enmeshedemnity]

A lot of this stuff is based off Einstein’s 1928 unified field theory, which is what they used during the Philadelphia experiment and Nazi bell. I love this series so much because it actually talks correctly about how this would be applied to the back rooms. They’re using pulsing generators that fold and plead space and time so that when a lot of electricity is shot into the middle of them, it creates another dimension. I love how Kane got this right.

[@ronlewis3964]

i do enjoy this theory but i don't think async created this. they accidently found it by meddling with forces they didn't fully comprehend. This was something stumbled upon, much like a child finding a gun and playin with it because it looks cool and offers solutions to current problems

[@Enmeshedemnity]

This is not different from the Philadelphia experiment or Nazi bell. When they designed the scaled-down version and even the main experiment, it ran away from them. The goal was radar deflection or absorption or possible projectile blocking, but they also got optical invisibility, which wasn’t their goal. This experiment was based on the 1928 version of the unified field theory (with Kron’s torsion tensor added). It is said Einstein never finished this theory, while others say he did but withdrew it for moral reasons. Even if not complete, the theory was still engineerable. Like what you said about async, the same thing happened on the Philadelphia experiment and Nazi bell. They stumbled upon it while looking for other things. This is exactly what is going on here. In those experiments, degaussers or pulsing magnetic generators were used in resonance with high voltages pulsed into the "field" they produced. It simulates what happens in a black or white hole in space. Think of ringing a soda can and twisting it inward. It creates torsion that can be made in space-time, leading to another dimension, or "hyper dimension," as it’s known. The reason I love this series is that the science behind it is real and is being shown remarkably. I saw in another of Kane’s videos that the backrooms experiment is called Kv31, which could represent the amount of voltage needed when combined with the right resonance that leads to the backroom’s dimension. All this is already well-known science to most, save the unified field theory. I’m not sure how Kane knew all this while being so young. It’s remarkable.

Ok now I'm loving the idea that the backrooms were a jumbled negative dimension of our world, but the area created that is actually the backrooms was warped by this experiment.

[@dustinjones7458]

I dunno if anyone has ever 'confirmed', but I wonder if we are the only world you can get to or from in the backrooms? Maybe the distortion happened because a million different versions of Earth all built bases in the Backrooms for this reason, and at some point they simply...merged together.

[@PleborianLives]

Never even heard if the backrooms until yesterday when i stumbled onto this channel, now im hooked as it gives off some major scp vibes and tells a story the same way the soulsborne games do through environmental story telling.. I love it (plus i love the sound of this machine whirring up and down, excellent sound design).

"The next test, well, it was a success, but at a large cost. The portal opened up, but.... There was an earthquake. Many were killed. We shifted the blame to the Loma Prieta fault line. The portal opened up another world. It doesn't really have an official name yet... but here at the Async Research Facility.... we call it The Backrooms." -Async Research Facility scientist 1989

[@443Cosmic]

Fun Fact: Async actually doesn’t call the backrooms the backrooms, Async calls the backrooms the complex. Well they actually call it multiple things, like A space and project KV31, I think A space is more about the part of Async that experiments with the backrooms, and project KV31 is actually referring to Async’s method of creating or discovering the backrooms.

[@ayejaysnizz]

1:17 mans just made a nether portal without using obsidian

[@howatcher]

What I'm thinking: I have two ideas: For my first one, maybe the backrooms could've been some sort of experiment made by scientists, possibly to see the limits of space, or they could've made it as some sort of prison, maybe for these "monsters" to live in? This could be a possibility as in other videos we see scientists working on machines and even testing on the backrooms itself. There are also the "Null Zones, which could be either entry points to other levels, or maybe some sort of invisible fields that cannot be accessed by these creatures. From the video, they look to be making some sort of portal into the backrooms, and this portal could maybe result in all the noclips? Because tampering with wormholes, and portals, that seems to be some sort of way to create strange portals around the world. My other theory is that (From this video) maybe a group of scientists have come to realize what is happening, and are trying to bring back the people who have disappeared due to the backrooms. Shown from this video, they seem to be making maybe some sort of "Portal" into the backrooms?

[@thoriumsucks7142]

Null Zones are probably areas where entities aren't allowed to go as the camera guy ran into the tight corridor and the monster didn't chase after him

[@howatcher]

@@thoriumsucks7142 Yes, but I'm thinking they could also be ways to enter other levels, as the camera guy dropped into that hole, and it lead him from level 0 to level 188

[@selinnazsur2328]

The production value in these videos is insane, good job, man! Personally I like it better when a concept like the Backrooms has a naturally unpredictable, unreachable cosmic/Lovecraftian feeling to it that is detached from human activities, that makes it scarier. But this take is also pretty good. Also I'm kinda hoping that the humans in these videos didn't MAKE the Backrooms but rather, discovered them while trying to find a solution for limited housing/storage space. They found a way to get to the Backrooms which might've damaged spacetime and opened holes in reality through where random, unrelated humans accidentally fall later on. In my opinion, if the Backrooms are made by humans, it loses that fear of the unknown factor because we'd actually get an origin or a logical explanation for them. Logic kills horror, especially this type of horror. It was the same for horror figures like the Slenderman who, by nature, was Lovecraftian himself: the less we knew about him and the more detached he was from human existence/ experimentation, the scarier he was.

[@lordstumpy2945]

So many people have already said it but, damn, is this exciting as heck. I've always been enthralled by the Backrooms and it's related content but have always desired to see it expanded in a more immersive way. This is awesome, quality over quantity, so hype for where you take this series!

[@daraghkennedy3994]

So the Backrooms was a (very radical) attempt to create new land, with one of its uses to create buildings for residential and commercial purposes. This raises the question, especially with the narrators use of the word "program". Was the Backrooms created, or discovered? If it was created, the Backrooms could be some sort of simulation then, a computer program that people can enter and exit in the vien of tron. It would explain the infinite aspect of it, and the very plain interior of the Backrooms we've seen so far, given its 1988 military computers creating an infinite space, details like furniture wouldn't so easily be achieved with that technology. If it was discovered though, I feel that'd be a much more interesting story to tell given it raises even more questions. Who discovered it? How long has the Backrooms existed? Have these researchers entered the Backrooms already or is the experiment shown its first activation? And if so, do they know the dangers inside? Once again, amazing work. I'm really looking forward to the next video in the series. Not everything can be as long as the found footage video but I look forward to more content nonetheless. Keep up the amazing work man!

[@starsilverinfinity]

Consdering the intense Half-Life vibes, I think it's likely that they discovered it but didnt realize that when you open a door it works both ways and you may accidentally open up others in the process

[@DeveloperJake]

@@starsilverinfinity In the latest video, it shows the backrooms getting created.

[@starsilverinfinity]

@@DeveloperJake There is no certain indication that they created it - most of the breadcrumbs so far point towards discovery rather than creation, especially since the source material has the Backrooms just exist on their own before humanity finds it

[@MDgeorgeger]

The Backrooms, as in "the place you go when you noclip out of reality", is completely fake. However it plays on very real events and places. The whole idea behind a "backrooms"-y room is that it is eerily empty, surprisingly lifeless, and deafeningly quiet, which is what these pictures posted show. We find them creepy because, as rooms, we expect there to be things in them. Because they're always super empty, but surprisingly well lit, we expect people to exist in them, but the lack thereof throws us off. Another thing is the weird "nostalgia" that comes from it. Another big part of the backrooms is that we have all been to a place that looks "backrooms"-y. Maybe you always wanted to know what was around that corner in preschool. Maybe you got lost in a high school after going to an art show at the age of 9. Maybe your first dentists office had a weird circular hallway shape you could never figure out. Regardless, all of these things could've happened to someone (all 3 personally happened to me), and these "backrooms" pictures evoke those faint childhood memories of weird hallways and getting lost. In a way, the backrooms are real, but more in the "they are forgotten/empty rooms/halls that simultaneously unsettle us from their emptiness and bring back a weird sense of nostalgia".

[@bumps3566]

It’s the dark slim hallways and crawl paths that get me. Where it’s not we’ll lit, and not easy to exit or get in. And the stairways that lead to nowhere, or the nostalgic 90’s furniture and facility feel. All of it leads to this comforting but very discomforting reality. Reminds you when you were a kid and imagined a monster was down in that small vent, or down the basement stairs. And when you find out that monster is there? That’s some creepy stuff there. Liminal spaces are always trippy and confusing. Also, when you see the weird playhouse-like areas it gives you that feeling you’re small again or lost.

[@autokrator_]

No, the Backrooms don’t actually exist?!? That’s outrageous!

[@elainasynranelt]

OK the circular dentist hallways have to be some sort of conspiracy. They have no purpose other than to make small children question reality.

[@gabriellagarcia3996]

you just perfectly explained the feeling of nostalgia they give me....

[@SageOfLitPaths]

Maybe Kane could even use this to explain the lore? Could be the unconscious or immaterial plane of ideas and/or thoughts turned into physical space. Would sort of explain the seemingly infinite patters, styles, and changes the Backrooms go through? And the creatures are manifestations of darker thinking or something. With the other videos that have been released though, it does seem like this theory is a bit cliche and wouldn't fit so well, but it could be cool food for thought. I remember reading a comment that mentioned the machines used to power on the doorway sound similar to MRI machines or electromagnets.
