![]() ![]() Scientists won't investigate it because they're not real. I don't know what this thing is that we're living in, but it's not the world. She wrote on a Subway sandwich wrapper: "The world ended three or four decades ago. Simone Rigadeau, the transient living in the Night Vale Community College's abandoned Earth Sciences building, firmly argues the world has ended in 1983 and repeats her claim every opportunity. Acknowledgment of angels was made legal in " Matryoshka". Apart from helping Old Woman Josie in her private life, as well as in the reopening of Old Night Vale Opera House, they also purchased StrexCorp and helped Night Vale in its rebellion against the corporation. Despite having such a problematic legal status, or more accurately- the absence of such status, the angels have a large effect on the town. However, he still wasn't ready to accept the existence of multiple mountains.Īngels, although said to exist by Cecil, at the beginning implicitly but eventually openly, did not legally exist in Night Vale for a very long time, and recognition of their existence is strictly prohibited. Cecil only recanted his belief when one of his friends drove him to a mountain, and so he was forced to acknowledge that at least one mountain exists. For example, until March 2013, Cecil Palmer and his fellow staffers at Night Vale Community Radio did not accept the existence of mountains, and so rabidly denounced known "mountain believers" and burned them in effigy within the station's bloodstone circle, insisting that "it is flat all the way round". It is widely common in Night Vale, whether it is by City Council, Sheriff's Secret Police or by the residents themselves, to deny the existence of things that seem natural for the listener and for braver residents, who dare to admit some of these things exist.ĭespite the fact that existence is a slippery concept in Night Vale, or perhaps because of this, most citizens will fiercely cling to their own views of what exists and what does not, and will violently suppress any information that contradicts their limited understanding of the world. That is the most scientific fact of all." Denial of Existence It is possible, perhaps even likely, that nothing is actually real, and although it is definitely true that some things exist and some things do not, it is often difficult to tell which is which without rigorous scientific tests.Ĭarlos eventually concluded that not only is time not real, "neither is anything else. However, although the Clock Tower can be confidently said to exist, it cannot be said to be real, as even the world itself may not actually be real. On the other hand, the $23 million Night Vale Clock Tower does, in fact, exist, despite no one ever having seen it or even knowing where it is at any given moment, on account of the basic architectural realities that the Clock Tower is invisible and constantly teleporting. But experiments have shown that it does not exist. It seems like it exists, like it is just right there when you look at it, and it is between two other identical houses, so it would make more sense for it to be there than not. Existence, while a relatively simple concept most places-usually, you can apply the simple test of seeing if a thing is there-the concept of existence can be tricky in Night Vale.įor instance, there is a house in the housing development of Desert Creek that does not exist. ![]()
