The most common denominator in isekai (parallel worlds) and time travel scifi is: “each reality is vibrating in a unique frequency”.

It has been around since the 90s, from Japanese anime to Western live-action TV series.

How did it start? Who first used it? I have no idea. Maybe it started from DC or Marvel comics, or even earlier than that.

Nonetheless, it was the simplest idea (I think) to answer the question: “How can we detect if someone is from a different world/reality?”

And it actually works.

And maybe, just maybe, if alternate realities do exist, we do vibrate in different frequencies.

These are some of the fictional works that I remember (or I'm misremembering) which used this ‘theory’.

* Dual! Parallel World Trouble / Tenchi Muyo universe
* Serial Experiments Lain
* Star Trek
* Sliders
* Fringe
* The Flash

What else? Do you remember any?

@youronlyone @tv @[email protected] This is an old post but it came up on the Tenchi Muyo tage.

To answer your question. the idea is from DC Comics in Flash of Two Earts. The Flash of Earth 1 and Earth 2 in the 60s explain their Earths are separated by different vibrational frequencies. That is why they crossed worlds because Flash was changing his molecule's vibrational frequency for a trick.

@Covok Ooh! Thank you for sharing! So, the "vibration" trope originated from DC's Flash!
