First of all, if your using google take a moment to read the small print that says "currently showing results for unicornology" and change the results it looks for to Unichronology, further questions about unicorns will be directed to the My Little Pony mega-thread (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,6467.0.html).
For your second question, yes, Google came up with nothing, there is a reason for this, I'm asking you to use your brains to define a nonexistent word that has Relevance to my world.
*looks at Scourge*
And you be quiet.
EDIT: If your still googling, No, the answer is not the University of Chronology, nor does it have anything to do with the book Arabica

Uni = One, singular, e.g. Uniform.
Chronology = The science of arranging events in their order of occurrence in time, e.g. Chronological Order.
I'm guessing Unichronology is a combination of the two, but I'm not sure how to combine them in a way that would make sense.

Unicronology?

But it's also the start of the word universe
Hmmm... what to make of this... :gawe:
Unicronology?

XD SO MUCH WIN IN THIS POST XD

So the first thing that pops up is this same thread in another forum with the same exact post by the same person. You linked these people to our pony thread?

Absolutely! There is an apology in the playground for it.

I was literally going to post this after reading the OP.

Upon this logic, I'll say:
The science of arranging different types of one thing, I.E. colored pencils of the same brand.
-
Teehee, no.
-
Given that google had absolutely nothing on the subject, and given that the internet contains pretty much all of the world's knowledge, I can only deduce that this is a made-up word.
-
I've heard this word before. Unichronology is believing or following only one timeline. A person who is a Unichronologist is known more usually as a Linearist. The opposite of a Linearist is a Splitist, someone who believes and follows multiple storylines or believes in a series branching into seperate mini-series.

I succumbed to the temptation of using google, and this was the first thing that came up...

I asked about 10 other forums the same question to see what people would come up with, to ensure it is indeed a vague enough term that there is reason Google cannot find it.

Unichronology: The study of experiencing all of time as one moment.

Where did you hear this?
Unichronology: The study of experiencing all of time as one moment.
What makes you think it is this?
-
It's not real word! If it's not on google, it doesn't exist!

Correct you are, he even says that in the first post. However, this is the way words are created. A word has to come from somewhere, it doesn't just pop into existance.
Unichronology: The study of experiencing all of time as one moment.
What makes you think it is this?
It makes the most sense to me, Uni, indicating one...Chronology indicating we're talking about time, it's study and it's order. Plus, i've always been fascinated with the idea that all of time exists 'now', all at once, but we just can't experience it that way. Not saying I believe that's the way it is, just think it's an interesting concept.
-
Well, your certainly almost on the nose of what I'm talking about.
And yes I'm attempting to use people's help to invent the definition of a new word, and to especially make certain I don't improperly define it myself (even if its a word of my own creation, its got root words with specific implications).
The way I'm seeing this word, its only plausible at a moment where everything is the same, regardless of where you are, so that the Chronological order of every single object in the world, would be exactly the same in that instance.
I'm seeing if this would add up with what other people come up with when thinking about this word.
-
I'm confused. :confused:

Thats exactly what I'd hope Meganerdbomb

Guys, its simple:
Make up a word -> Justify it by giving it a ridiculous meaning -> Attempt to spread it about the iinterwebz ->
Did you Succeed? ->
Yes -> Congratz on making your new word
No -> Make up another word, and try again

hmmm...Unless i'm misreading this, you might be better off with something like pansynchronous, the prefix 'pan' meaning global and synchronous meaning existing or occuring at the same time....

we should spread TLT through the interwebs

I'm a sucker for making up my own words and terms :3
Can I tell them my definition of Unichronology yet, Kujii?

Your likely not misreading it, I'm likely mislabeling what I'm trying to say.

Permitted you don't pass it off as my definition.
-
Unichronology is the phenomenon that occurs when all of the universes in existence line up and become one.
Or something. I'm too out of it to think straight
-
"ology" means study of, it that helps.
-
It's not the study of it
It's uni universal chronology

^References^
Uni is from the Latin meaning "as one" or "together" or "as a whole"
So, my best guess is: " the science of arranging all events in their order of occurrence in time as a whole"
-
I know that Speedy tries to achieve unichronology (that's his goal), and that it has something to do with all universes being the same or becoming one or something. I forgot.
-
It's not the study of it
In the context that Speedy used the word, no, its not a study. But Unichronology is a study, as well as a phenomenon. Achieving Unichronology is his goal, because it allows the ECU to gather adequate data on what a Unichronological time period looks like.
As I mentioned to you The Big Bang has occured 29 times already, because of the ECU attempting to gather this data.
