Koizumi:
Hello, there.
I was thinking that perhaps today I'd make
good on the promise I made you.
So I've just been hanging around out here
until you got home.
Kyon:
You sound a little bit like you know
where I've been all day.
Would you mind explaining that to
me?
Koizumi:
If it's possible.
Do you think you might have a little time
to spare for me right now?
Kyon:
Is it something to do with
Suzumiya?
Koizumi:
It's something to do with Miss
Suzumiya.
Kyon:
It's pretty amazing that this taxi showed
up just when you needed it.
Koizumi:
Yeah, weird.
So, the other day you asked me to show you
some proof that I'm an esper.
You still wanna see it?
The perfect opportunity I was talking
about popped up.
So I thought I'd have you join
me.
Kyon:
Why do we need to go so far out of the
town to do this?
Koizumi:
We're gonna have to drive a little ways if
you wanna see my ability as an esper.
It's timing really, certain place, the
right conditions.
So now we're heading out towards just such
a location that meets all the requirements in exactly the right
ways.
Kyon:
Do you still think Haruhi's some kind of
god or something?
Koizumi:
Let me ask you this.
Do you know what the anthropic principle
is?
Kyon:
Nope. Never heard of it.
Koizumi:
Ok, then. Here it goes.
Basically, this is the theory that the
universe is a way it is right now simply because human-beings could observe it
and determine that it was the way it is.
So, did you get it all that?
Kyon:
I didn't get any of it.
Koizumi:
How about "I observed therefore the
universe is"?
Or something along those
lines.
In other words, on this particular world,
there are sentient beings that are called humans.
Now then, by discovering the laws of
physics in constants, human-beings can observe the fact that the universe
actually exits at all.
When that happens, the existence of the
universe becomes apparent,
Therefore we can say if the human-beings
who observed the universe hadn't actually evolved as far as it
did.
then there wouldn't be any
observations,
the universe wouldn't have anyone to
acknowledge its existence.
So it wouldn't really matter if the
universe existed or not.
The universe is because human-beings know
it is.
Anyway, that's the reasoning from the
human perspective.
Kyon:
You're kidding, right?
I mean, with or without humans, the
universe is still the universe.
Koizumi:
Well, that's also correct.
Therefore, the anthropic principle isn't
anything more than a speculative theory.
However, this theory does bring up an
interesting dilemma.
Why was the universe created in such a way
that human-beings could survive in it?
If it would only take a slight change in
the gravitational constant or particle mass ratio, for the universe to not
allow a planet like the earth to exist.
Kyon:
Ok, you sound like one of those pamphlets
for some kooky religion into science and technology.
Koizumi:
Actually, I don't really believe that
humans were created by a god or some omnipotent being, though I've seen
something like that doesn't make sense.
I say that but I still have
doubts.
Kyon:
About what?
Koizumi:
Sometimes, I get the feeling that we're
just a bunch of clowns standing on our tiptoes at the edge of a great
abyss.
No, I'm just kidding.
Kyon:
Look, I don't understand the thing you
just said.
Koizumi:
The reason I went into the whole anthropic
principle thing was to draw comparison.
I haven't even gone to Miss Suzumiya
yet.
Kyon:
That's another thing.
Why are you and Nagato and Miss Asahina
also obsessed with Haruhi?
Koizumi:
Oh, I can't speak for the others but I
think she's charming.
Anyway, let's get back to
business.
I was wondering if you remember the stuff
once I explained you about how the world may have in fact been created by Miss
Suzumiya.
Kyon:
Although, it's annoying as hell, yeah, I
do remember you saying that.
Koizumi:
She has the power to turn anything she
wishes for into a reality.
Kyon:
Oh, come on, you can't seriously believe
that's true.
Koizumi:
Miss Suzumiya was positive that aliens
existed.
Then she wished there were such a
thing.
So, that's why Yuki Nagato is
here.
She wanted to meet people from the
future.
She wished for that, too.
And that's why Mikuru Asahina showed up
here.
And as for myself,
She wished for espers to be reality and lo
and behold here I'm at your service, sir.
Kyon:
Like I said, how do you know all this
anyway?
Koizumi:
Well, about three years ago...
Kyon:
I'm a little sick of hearing about three
years ago crap.
Koizumi:
Three years ago, without any warning I just
knew I had these powers and also knew how I should use them.
And I wasn't alone.
There were other people who had the same
experience as me at the same time.
And get this.
All of us knew that Haruhi Suzumiya was
the reason for it.
I can't explain why.
It was just something that all of us
knew.
Kyon:
All right, I'll give you the benefit of
the doubt.
But I really can't see Haruhi doing that
kind of stuff.
Koizumi:
At first, we couldn't believe that
ourselves either.
No one could wrap the head around the
possibility that thanks to one girl for the universe change, maybe it was
created.
On top of all that, if it's like there's
nothing here that's special enough to hold her interest, that's a scary thing
about it.
Kyon:
Why scary?
Koizumi:
I told you if you had a power to create the
universe at your will,
and you also had a power to destroy this
world, and you could rebuild it whatever you wanted.
If that really happened, it would mean the
end of everything that we'd known.
Although if it does happen, we'd have no
way of knowing that even that happened.
Then again, maybe something like that has
happened before.
You never know.
Perhaps the universe has been destroyed
and rebuilt lots of times already.
Kyon:
Look.
Why don't you tell Haruhi what you
really are?
I'm sure if she finds out that espers
are real, she'll be ecstatic.
Then maybe she wouldn't think about
changing the world.
Koizumi:
Well, there's a problem with
that.
If Miss Suzumiya finds out about us as
espers, she starts thinking the powers like a common
occurrence.
The world will be in need of us
espers.
Every law of physics will get twisted up
like a god in ours.
The entire universe will fall into
chaos.
Kyon:
If you guys exit because Haruhi wished
it, why isn't she aware of it?
I mean don't you think that
strange?
Koizumi:
Not really.
There's a part of her that wishes aliens
and espers and time-travelers to be real.
She's also got a practical side that
thinks those things are impossible.
She's conflicted between the
two.
Yes, she does and says things
that are eccentric.
But in reality, Miss Suzumiya is just an
ordinary human
with a good sense of "what's real and
what's not."
In junior high, her energy was like a
sandstorm,
but in a past few months, it started to
calm down.
I preferred if she stayed
calm.
But now we need to face the fact that
she's creating a new tornado.
Kyon:
What do you mean?
Koizumi:
Hate to say.
But it's your fault.
Kyon:
But, what do I have to do with
this?
Koizumi:
What are you talking
about?
You are the one who gave her the idea to
found a strange club.
Because of the conversation she had with
you, Haruhi decided that she'd create a club filled with all sorts of weird
people, didn't she?
Therefore, you are responsible for
this.
Because of that,
A member from each of the three groups
that were interested in what Haruhi Suzumiya's doing now conveniently gathered
together in one place.
Kyon:
So I'm a scapegoat.
Koizumi:
Well,
Actually, there's more to her than
that.
