Ok the theory that people aren't just falling completely randomly into the backrooms, and that their electromagnetic-wave-generating technology is messing with the interference given off by the portal opening and causing them to fall in, is actually a genius idea. Literally creating null zones on accident.

[@crangejo]

Can be debunked tho On Found Footage #2, the girl throws wood chips and a baseball into the back rooms, and almost certainly more things before getting her camera nearby. And no, it's not because she "opened" it with an EM device so subsequent things could be thrown inside, otherwise, the car that noclipped in would've made every single car to travel that lane to eventually noclip too

[@thescottishwookie7999]

Unfortunately, that wouldn't explain why they are infecting people and attempting to impersonate them, The Thing style. My guess is that they're neither a "Virus" nor an "Anti-Cheat", but a scrapped "Enemy Mob" that was supposed to conflict with humans and counter them, in a sense. A mob AI that would evolve non-stop in an effort to infect whatever it came into contact with, and thus give Humans an incentive to evolve further in order to combat them, and exterminate them, but were ultimately too dangerous to other living beings that didn't have the advantages that Humans have. Since these "mobs" were based on Bacteria, my guess is that the backrooms is meant to keep them alongside all of the other "cut content", but since they are "AI", they wandered and evolved in the Backrooms.

[@gammaboy4568]

the electromagnetism theory here actually has a lot of weight, imo. The term that came to mind was "destructive interference"; that is, when waves of opposing frequency interact their magnitudes cancel each other as he pointed out. However, the "null zones" that are referred to are *physical* and this raises the question again: how were the backrooms created? They definitely seem procedural, and these "null zones" point to some governing variables behind the way they generate. Perhaps the universal variables that dictate the universe are also a seed of sorts for the backrooms. EM frequency somehow dictates the 3-dimensional space of the rooms at a static point in time, and matching EM frequency and spacial position in the real world "softens" the barrier by destructive interference to such an extent that it fuzzes the simulation's interpretations and pushes things through the threshold. This also points towards some worthwhile experiments. Destructive interference only nullifies both signals fully when the signals are of the same frequency and out of phase by half of a wavelength. Amplitude, however, must also match to perfectly nullify a signal. This begs the question- by what accuracy does the simulation float variables? How precise must a signal be before mistakes are made? This also could mean that destructive interference need not be perfect as well, since if the threshold isn't perfectly sustained then a small window of any other close-to-perfect frequency could eventually nullify the signal enough to break the barrier. This is especially dangerous, since the degrees of freedom for accepting an EM signal as a free ticket to the backrooms increases and the number of combinations likewise increases by orders of magnitude. TLDR: Assuming EM waves are cause for people falling into the backrooms and the simulation theory holds water, the less accurate the simulation is, the more likely any signal is to cause the "clipping" to occur. The connection to a universal variable may also make predicting the layout of the backrooms a possibility. I really wish that Kane's ideas warranted a full on original series off platform, because the amount of creativity on display here is truly worth the attention. Hope he has a long a fulfilling career, and the boundaries of conventional horror keep being pushed in unique directions like this.

I wasn't even all too confident in my understanding of the material, but it doesn't stop it from being fascinating. If you want a good look at how constructive and destructive interference works practically, I'd suggest starting by looking up the "double slit experiment". Even with visible light, splitting EM waves can cause a structured pattern of nullification and amplification causing a visible "shutter" pattern to appear, even when only two opening are present.

[@pigoon8143]

An idea that i just thought of: the backrooms have Infinite space and therefore infinite mass. An object with infinite mass can theoretically time travel as it bends spacetime which explains the time difference. This would also explain why people fall into the backrooms as space folds in on its self.

[@kingofthefunnyguys]

Science

[@nohaxjustxmod-sfs3984]

But an object with infinite mass and infinite space, what’s it’s density? We see in the backrooms that everyone is being pulled, well down. At least that’s what it seems like. If gravity works how it’s supposed to in the Backrooms, then the concentration of mass increases the further down you go and lesser upwards because if both had equal amounts the gravitational force from both sides would cancel out. It’s a wonder how the Backrooms hasn’t collapsed under it’s own weight yet. But the more probable explanation is gravity is also warped. Considering time is heavily linked to space which are both linked to gravity, the distortion of time likely means the Backrooms doesn’t have gravity in the same way we do.

I wish The Backrooms had a point where they explored an impossible intersection, which would compound the video game map theory. The one example I can think of was in the game Marathon, in a custom map where the devs decided to play with a part of their engine that had a glitch where you could have one hallway pass through another without either hallway seeing each other. I’ll try to explain with words, but imagine you’ve made a figure-8 map of a continuous hall. Of course and the center, the path would cross itself at an intersection. Now imagine a race car track of the same layout. You’d have to elevate one of the crossovers or else risk collision. This map took the idea of the continuous track, but *never elevated* the other hallway. To the player, there were no intersecting halls, just one long continuous hallway. It was only when you jumped back out to the map view that you could see the figure-8 configuration. What was really wild was that this was a PvP arena, so a friend and I wandered off in two separate directions, watching the map as we went. When we both arrived at the same X,Y coordinates, we couldn’t see each other. We were both in the same spot, but couldn’t see each other. As you can imagine, it was kind of a fun map because there were no corners to hide behind, you simply had to chase your opponent endlessly in an attempt to get them within range.

I'm a programmer & when I heard nullZones, I thought of null in the programming sense (something being defined as empty). For the most part, it seems the backrooms are indeed empty (of people).

Another point about the questionable timeline - Kane used to have all his Backrooms videos in a playlist organized in chronological order according to the dates in the video descriptions. This order had his first video, "The Backrooms Found Footage," at the end of the playlist. But I noticed after he uploaded "Presentation" that the playlist has been rearranged to follow what I think is order of release - "The Backrooms Found Footage" is now at the beginning. With the time distortions proposed in this theory, that rearranging might (or might not) mean something about the accuracy of the official timeline. Whatever the case, it looks like from now on, theorists will have to keep track of the timeline ourselves..

Something to note about the theory that this reality is a simulated game: What are the coincidental chances of some guy who got separated through time manipulation being slung so perfectly forward in time as to interrupt a *VERY* important meeting between A-Sync and the US government? That really seems like a stretch, especially when you consider that something that created the world wouldn't want people noclipping into what is essentially debug and testing rooms in ways that would make its game start breaking.

Good thinking but coincidences are expedient narrative devices too.

[@fork9001]

A theory: The backrooms, being the unused assets of the universe, is somehow outside of space-time or the flow of time is being manipulated in or around the backrooms. Information such as radiowaves and sound waves from all across time is “trapped” in the backrooms because of the noclipping effect. I don’t know if this means that you could be walking around the backrooms and a gamma ray burst from a star would just appear in front of you. Properties of electromagnetic waves could also be different in “real life” and the backrooms so I have a small doubt about the null effect causing the noclipping (although there is much more evidence to support that theory). This could be why we get transmissions from the future.

Something you brought to mind resonated with me. there are theories that, if one was to have some kind of a ladder, or just be able to jump really high, they could climb back out of the backrooms back into reality. When you mentioned the null zones, specifically the part about the EM waves of reality matching with the EM waves of the backrooms, creating a seamless gate or portal between the two, it just made that theory seem all the more likely. idk, food for thought

It could be that only specific wavelengths matter. And that the wavelengths that do matter happen to coincide with certain types of technology. Perhaps the closer to the frequency of the waves A-sync used to open the backrooms the more likely you are to clip in? In this case background radiation may not have an influence on whether you clip or not.

[@tetrislikeaboss]

Maybe the waves are spread across the area for a large radius but with different frequencies? Because the map showed people from all over the US noclipping and therefore could mean the whole US has different frequencies?

In video games(especially older FPS games), a Null Zone is a space in which is outside of an additive-bsp style map. Which the player accidentally accesses by reaching "leaks" in the geometry. In games that use additive bsp maps(Quake, Half-life, in comparison to subtractive bsp maps like Unreal), there are spots where if the geometry does not meet up properly, you get "leaks" where the light can bounce outside of the world geometry(bsp brushes) and go out into the null zone. A player can also fall through the missing geometry and essentially fall forever(or loop from bottom to top). I think this is where he gets this from, although scientifically, it makes sense too.

On the other hand if its a spot in both time and space, it might be more plausible.

Hey! I may have an idea for the "Null Zone". In some video games, there is no boundary or skybox (generally its more common with skyboxes than boundaries). So, you can technically go on infinitely upwards or downwards. The more you go, the more degraded the game gets, i.e, more jittery, more unstable, and you keep going until the numbers get too high and it gets so degraded that your game crashes. Where the degradation begins, is called a "Null Zone" in some games. My theory, is that the more you go down in the backrooms, the more distorted and broken things get. This would fit the theme of video games and going outside the boundaries. P.S, Aeraki#9214

So time is frozen except for the time a person enters null zone which give them glimpses of the future/past

I have a theory, you said the plot of the book “the yellow wallpaper” which has a woman who tries to free another woman trapped in the walls and then becoming her. The entities try to free your soul and end up “becoming you” by infecting you. The backrooms aren’t the scrapped or unimportant ideas in the AI, it’s the AI’s attempt to trap the entities by no-clipping them into “the yellow wallaper” style rooms. But I don’t think the entities are actually just entities that spawned there, they were people. Let’s make an analogy; let’s say people are like grains of sand in a sifter(the sifter being the 3 dimensional plane in-between the backrooms and the real world) whenever a rock gets too small, it becomes sand and falls through the sifter. But I think that “getting too small” correlates to the early stages of getting infected and becoming an entity, therefor trapping the hosts into the backrooms and the older entities “help” the hosts because they’re undistinguishable from a normal person. This is the act of getting trapped in a room and becoming an entity. PLEASE make sure he sees this

I know no one big will see this, but I want to respond MatPat’s theory (just for fun I guess). I personally think that the backrooms aren’t video games, but they are programmed, so that is why there are all of those flaws that are in video games. So it isn’t something big like the world is a simulation, but it shows us there is someone (or something) that can “program” the backrooms (just like programming a game, like writing its code). This means that person, persons, or force can control the “code” of the backrooms, or had/could have control the “code” of the backrooms. That force is still unknown, and I don’t think guessing is safe to say now, but at the moment that is besides the point. Now about the book and the entities. I think the entities might either be people who no-clipped, Async workers, or anyone else whom no-clipped, worked at, or visited the backrooms. I think it all goes down to the book. The people were stuck in the backrooms, went crazy or insane, and slowly became indefinite or definite entities of the backrooms. After so, the entities try escape the backrooms by finding new “Null-Zones” which they can no-clip back to reality by. This is why in “Backrooms - found footage” the camera no-clips back to reality. This can also rely on what MatPat is saying in 14:44. I think the glitched reality will be the concept that will be the backbone of the backrooms from now on. But that’s just my theory. No one really asked but it was fun to write, I hope you enjoyed reading it too.
