A collection of all my theories about time and ducks

[Hector]

Below are all theories I have suggested on this forum about how time works in Feathery Universe:

-The universe with Scrooge in 90s-00s is a different one from the universe with Scrooge in 50s-60s.

-Scrooge is immortal because of swimming in money, his nephews from 50s-60s are dead and his

nephews from 90s-00s are descendants of them.

-Everything that happened after the fifth chapter of 'Life and times of Scrooge McDuck' is part of

Scrooge's delusional coma. When he fell off the tower and got knocked unconscious, he had an

Inception type dream at limbo level. According to Inception movie, if you dream at limbo level, you can

get decades worth of experiences within a few hours.

-One of the nephews has fairy godparents and wished for everyone to stop ageing without noticing,

like Timmy Turner at 'Fairly Oddparents'.

-Feathery Universe is the afterlife. Everybody is dead and enjoying what fullfills them the most, in a world

beyond the dimension we call time. Each person is the physical age they feel more comfortable in. There

is no physical distinction between Heaven and Hell. For villains (Magica, Glomgold etc), Hell is just the

fact that their schemes always fail.

Of the theories you mentioned, I think the first one makes the most sense. I personally dislike the third and fifth options because they devalue the universe, at least in my opinion. What's the point of continuity, character development, morals, and stories with any sort of complexity if it is all just someone's dream? The Afterlife bit isn't quite as bad, but it just seems very odd, especially when, as far as I know, characters can die. None of the main ones have, but I never got the impression that death was impossible for them.

While these are all interesting theories, I feel like it is worth pointing out that the explanation within the comics themselves is that they stay young by reading comics or by virtue of being comic book characters. I can't remember for sure which. The issue is discussed in Geradts's infamous Della story (I.N.D.U.C.K.S. link: inducks.org/story.php?c=H+2014-071)  I'm not saying that I particularly like this explanation, but it is what it is, and it's the only official explanation I know of.

It's both, actually. Although both are only theories of Professor Batty, the same professor who appeared in "Flip Decison", so they may not be true. We've just recently created a page for the story on the Wiki, by the way, so if anyone wants to read a brief summary of it, here's the link: scrooge-mcduck.fandom.com/wiki/Family_Ties.

Maybe all the theories are right just not at the same time as there is a reality like the hypertime DC.
