Theory of the Universe

Introduction
The Theory of the Universe first appeared in #fisk_maps during episode 020, in which Elric was the first person documented to use it. It is a gag that is largely unexplained and while not directly tied to the character who originally used it, it is implicit that Elric is the only person "capable" of explaining the Theory of the Universe. This facet of the gag, too, is unexplained.

Usage
The Theory is generally applied as a sort of deus ex machina, wherein Elric will utilize it to cause any number of beneficial effects for the rest of the cast. This includes, but has demonstrably not been limited to avoiding DMCA/copyright law entirely in the case of Naylor (rightfully) claiming that he gave the authors no such license to use Fisk, Lucy, and the rest of the Better Days cast in such a way as #fisk_maps. After being subjected to an "off-screen" explanation of the Theory, Naylor simply dropped all threats against the cast without explaining why.

Broadly speaking, all uses of the Theory as a gag have been presented this way; there has never been a canonical explanation as to what the Theory actually entails or why it is so effective at causing whatever effect Elric desires to cause, and no part of the Theory -- if indeed it is a scientific theory of any kind -- has ever been revealed.
