"If my research is correct, then things from our side would be the same upon reaching the Other Side—the Other Shore Civilization would also be astonished by the peculiar properties of matter from our side, and by the many properties they cannot measure. This is the displacement phenomenon between the two sides of the Abyss. After further research, I discovered that this phenomenon applies not only to Order Worlds, but to Abyss environments as well.
