As soon as that was realized, the largest rush of development on our earth began: the rush to travel between them, in spirit as well as in body. And when that was perfected the earth slowly, but surely, began to empty. The diplomats were the last to leave, too busy trying to develop communications between the multiverse and the people to discover that the people, for the most part, had left.
