"So what's the pattern, then?" He folds his arms, cocks his head, studies the tree trunks like they might yield some answers for him. "Why is it that some universes get matter pulled out and others get matter dumped in? Is it limited to individuals with consciousness, or is there more matter transferal happening that we just don't know about? Well no, okay, that's probably exactly what's happening, but how? Is there, is there a pattern, an algorithm, anything to decide which universes are the entry points and which are the exit points? Are they, are they fluid, ever-changing, do some universes oscillate between incoming and outgoing? Does this one?"

Daniel just keeps launching his theoretical questions, one after the other after the other after the other, regardless of whether or not there are answers. This is honestly not his area, something much more up Sam's alley, but it helps tremendously to have someone who is a) obviously highly knowledgeable about the subject matter and b) more than willing to discuss it.
