The Science (Fiction) Behind Pinkie [Theories]

[rouge_wind 8]

okay, have you ever wondered how pinkie is able to pop up out of no-where or pull something from nothing and the explanation "pinkie just being pinkie" isnot enogh, well this is the topic board to post your theories, look at others theories and maybe just maybe we can find out exactly how pinkie can do the things she does.  also keep an open mind to others theories and don't just shoot them out of the water. Cause when dealing with fiction you have to take in account everyponies thoughts.

Do we really need an answer for this?  XD  Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie is Pinkie Pie and nothing can ever really effect of change that.

What Pinkie Pie does is supposed to not make sense. That is why it is called "breaking the 4th wall". There is no explanation within the MLP universe for her actions.

yes but we are not within the mlp universe(yet) so we can at least try i mean come on have you ever heard of hammerspace or the fact that pinkie defies gravity could be caused by the amount of magical energy she is giving off. (and yes i know that twilight had used that machine on pinkie but the was only looking for an explanation of her pinkie sense.) plus this topic was just to see others theories opon the subject also.

This thread appears to be discussing MLP:FiM in some way, shape or form. Thus, it has been sentenced to Show Discussion.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

Seriously, when you have character like Pinkie Pie, logic in unneeded. Pinkie Pie needs so scientific explanation for her ways.

[Zygen 6,066]

Well I guess you can try to understand pinkie in a scientific matter, but you might confuse yourself .

I think that pinkie is pinkie, and explaining her is to much work. or almost impossible.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Uh...

Um....

 

Pinkie Pie, because of her carefree nature and overall happy lifestyle, has reached a state of enlightenment. This causes her to not care about the trivial bounds of her world, and is able to defy them by doing a bunch of random stuff...

[~StatesTheOblivious~ 1,795]

I go for dark matter. Dark matter and whatever-quantum-mechanics could explain. Bioshock Infinite style. Yeah, hmm... That should work!

 

Things that can not be totally explained have to explain her because she is not totally explainable, since she is just herself without any possibility of explaining her abilities. Ah, logic, you never let us down!

[Ratchetmon 1]

Well it's obvious that Pinkie Pie is a pony from the fourth dimension.

 

Pinkie Pie's ability to instataneously move from one position to another suggests that, like objects existing in the fourth dimension, time from our perspective is nothing to Pinkie Pie which would explain all abilities mentioned in all above posts with the acception of the 4th wall.

 

My explanation for that one, Pinkie is Pinkie.

[Stormwind 53]

In the show its indirectly established that all ponies have some magic, including earth ponies connection to the land. They way i explain it in my headcannon is that pinkie never had a connection to land and it made her life as a rock farmer very difficult and miserable. Then when pinkie saw the sonic rainboom it triggered her magic which conected her to the 4th dimension allowing her to see into the near future and past as well as move through it with relative ease.

[rouge_wind 8]

that is a very good theory and im glad to see that not everypony is trying to dis this topic for its "uselessness". so thanks for explaning what your thought opon pinkies abilities are.

The world of Equestria is the third iteration of the Matrix.  The first iteration attempted to place humans in a perfect utopia, but humans as humans could not fit into such a world.  The second iteration (as seen in the movies) attempted to place humans in a gritty "realistic" world, but that failed because humans still want something better, and periodically rose in rebellion.  Equestria solves these problems in several ways. 

 

First, Equestria is a noticably superior world to the original Earth.  Magic works, everypony gets to do what they're best at and most interested in (cutie marks), a friendlier physics (e.g. apple-bucking), a system of economics that rewards entrepreneurship and initiative, but doesn't constrain life and choice (no homeless ponies sleeping under bridges, no Rainbow Dashies working in office cubicles because there are no "jobs" in weather control, etc.), and so forth. 

 

Second, placing humans in pony bodies provides them with an improved system of bioreactive feedbacks.  As was known even before the creation of the first Matrix, human minds cannot exist apart from bodies and a surrounding environment.  The first two matrices provided uploaded minds with "body images" based on their own genetics and state of physical maturity.  This was a simple system, but it ultimately led to the failure of the First and Second Matrices.  For the Third Matrix, it was determined that humans should be provided with a new body type more suitable to the new reality they were to inhabit, and optimized for long-term peaceful co-existence.  The solution for most was a modified version of a fairly closely-related mammal: ponies.  Ponies were herbivores and herd animals.  They lacked the predatory instincts of human primate bodies, and exhibited a higher degree of eusociality.  Thus, a human mind inhabiting a virtual pony body is receiving reduced instinctual drives toward aggression, and stronger instinctual drives toward cooperation and social cohesion.  Some minds were not suitable for this adaptation, but they were fewer in number.  These were placed in a variety of other creatures (e.g. sociopaths in dragon bodies, competitive hyper-individualists in gryphon bodies, etc.).  These other creatures could serve to provide some of the conflict and challenge needed by the pony majority, while their lack of pony eusociality would prevent them from organizing sufficiently to become a true threat to system stability.

 

Third, while it has many advantages, Equestria is not "perfect."  There are still evils, character flaws, and the like that ponies can strive against, still a need for courage, determination, and cooperation.  Yet, the evils are dialed down a few notches, and benevolent deities (sysadmins) are placed in charge.  Thus evil cannot triumph or persist as a dominant force, causing people to long for "something better" or "more" than the life they're given, and start looking for ways to escape.

 

However, even in this new Matrix, it is inevitable that from time to time an individual will appear who intuitively understands the true nature of the world they inhabit, and learns how to transcend its limitations.  The core nature of this individual is to exemplify and exercise the faculty of choice.  Since a fully deterministic system would inevitably reach a state where Godelian incompleteness would force it to crash, it is necessary to incorporate full Turing-level processing within the core algorithms of the virtual world itself.  This means that the faculty of choice must always exist.

 

The genius of the Third Iteration Matrix is that these individuals are provided with abundant motivation to choose the Matrix, and even apply their individuality and talents to improving the experiences it provides to others.  This includes the current example of the type.  Even when she discovered the subroutine that made it possible for the former Agent Smith to multiply himself and overrun the Matrix, she chose to protect the system and her friends who live within it rather than continue multiplying destructively as Smith did.

 

In short: Pinkie Pie is The One.

and that's a wrap. you good sir have just made the exact statement that i was hoping for and you explained it in a way that most would understand with the use of the matrix's explanation of things in that world.
