SCP-3426 │ Reckoner │ Keter │ ZK-λ-Class Cosmic Fragmentation Scenario
Item #: SCP-3426
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Until the nature of SCP-3426 can be definitively ascertained, containment should focus on preventing as many of the theorized conditions for its occurrence as possible. As such, scientific progress into a unified physics hypothesis and the creation of infinitely sustainable energy should be heavily impeded. Other areas of social and technological progress that could potentially result in an occurrence of SCP-3426 on Earth must be prevented by any reasonable means currently available. Additional measures may be taken in the event that the collective human race approaches attainment of Type I civilization status (as defined on the Kardeshev scale).

There has not been a single line that has made me as uncomfortable in any article I have read until "this message will repeat until there is nothing left to hear it"
A haunting line. The author is extremely talented.
Reminds me of Contingency from Local58. Hell, I can almost see that video being aired as a response to this SCP.
*"This message will repeat until there are none to read it."*
@@commanderjason7786 is contingency from local58 that one that was made by the dude who made the candle cove story?
@@Jiren420 From what Nexpo told me in his coverage of Local58, yes.
Gave me chills
"The civilization must have achieved a relative degree of global sociopolitical stability."
Well, we're safe.
Guess being a fucking mess is a good thing this time...
Somehow the idea that we're only safe because humans can never agree with each other and constantly pick fights is kind of funny.
We're saved by our incapacity for salvation...
Only in a universe with a Pattern
it's also heavily implied that the Foundation is taking steps to make sure we stay this way.
and by heavily implied they pretty much explicitly state it towards the beginning of this scip
LMAO THANK YOU
The 1990s space exploration game "Star Control 2" is mostly known for its comedy but when you investigate the homeworld of the Androsynth it briefly turns into a horror game. The world is silent. The androsynth cities are intact, there is no signs of war but the androsynth themselves are completely missing. Eventually the away team finds a working computer and as they read the files and get into what the androsynth were researchers one of the researchers locks the others out of the room and continues reading alone. When the other break in the researching yells at them to stay away and insists that they can't allow them to see what he has seen, that even knowing about them will cause them to find you. Suddenly claw marks appear across his body. They can't stop it and he dies. Realizing their might be some truth to his seemingly insane raving they decide to return empty handed.
The androsynth territory is now inhabited by the Orz. Your universal translator malfunctions and some of the words they use are replaced with others. For example "dancing" actually refers to battle, implying they have an odd way of thinking about violence. You can form an alliance with them but if you keep asking about the androsynth they will "dance" with you instead.
Talking to another mysterious race, the Arilou admit that they have tampered with humanity in the past to help uplift them and to hide them from another race. The Arilou come from an alternate dimension that exists "above" and this threat exists "below" and they can't tell you more because "your ignorance acts as a shield" preventing them from being able to "smell" you.
SC2 was *fantastic*.
God I love that game
One of the best games ever made.
That dancing thing reminds me of an animorphs book. In one of the books the animorphs participated as the pawns of two higher powers, the classic good vs evil sorta deal. The good power choose the animorphs and the Evil power choose its own artificial lifeforms called the howlers. The animorphs morph into one of them and discover that the howlers are all children, they never live past 5 years and any howler that ever loses in a fight is killed so it can't share the concepts of pain or loss with the other howlers who aren't aware of the concepts and think that they're playing some kind of game.
Not counting a few references to some anomalies from Roadside Picnic in the Androsynth data.
"Thanks for listening *if indeed you still are* ..." has a very different feel this time considering the fact this SCP just fucking deletes whole societies...
precisely what I was thinking
It doesn't just delete them, it outright erases them from existence, as a society, species, or even as an idea. All that it once was will mean nothing to no one of it never existed at all....and that is truly horrifying
Imagine how he'd go about ending a video covering the Black Moon
Notice how he didn't say "indeed" this time...
So it's kinda like a failsafe built into the simulated universe which corrupts the code of any civilization that had advanced enough to conclusively prove that it is existing inside a simulated universe. Some type of simulated universe antivirus that wiped out the civilizations upon detection as to prevent them from developing a way to affect the reality outside the simulation.
"When you hear the screaming in your mind.... Be silent until you do not exist." That warning broadcast is a horror short story in itself.
I'm listening to this as I play one of my ps4 games at 2:30am and as I was listening my face got extremely hot, my balls got sucked into my body and I was fucking terrified 😂
Yeah yeah I’ve been poor in a capitalist society before, nothing new
Note that the report diferenciares death and ceasing to exist.
"guess i'll die"
For an athiest sad
An interesting take on the "great filter" view on the Fermi paradox.
That's the scary option.
For some reason, the other one that came to mind was a piece out of Hitchiker's Guide: "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
I think my psychoses are acting up again...
@@draco84oz Douglas Adams was great.
Exactly what it made me think of
Remember, the first rule of warfare is "Don't divide by zero and delete your world".
@@draco84oz Hard to find out the pattern if it changes if you find it out
This is either a pattern screamer or The Pattern itself. “Do not point it out to anyone else.” The more it is perceived, the faster it becomes materialized. Terrifying.
Just one of many ways The Pattern presents itself
It seems more like there's something in the universe taking out civilizations when they develop to the point that anyone can discover and research Pattern Screamers.
To prevent that they erase whole populations, preventing knowledge of the Screamers from disseminating.
Agreed, screams, yells and wailing make it clear. Didn't know pattern screamers could perform on a planetary scale on multiple planets. Sorta kinda reminds me of that moon singularity anomaly in Ad Astera per Aspira Tale canon.
What exactly is a Pattern Screamer? I understand it's an extra dimensional race that went through *something* and ended up across various places and times in the universe. I remember one was stuck in an SCP file, screaming angrily because it was in constant pain. I still have no idea what they are or what their lore is though.
@@unfortunatecircumstances8870 basically, they're whats left of life from before our universe was born.
They have no form, and only exist as a concept. Our version of reality is so different, so alien to the universe that came before us they can't conceptualize a way to exist in our reality.
As concepts, they depend on us knowing about them to exist. They hate us, they hate our reality, they hate the screaming void they reside in.
I love how shaken doctor Millar is at the end of the video
for years he's talked about horrifying abominations, but this is one of the first times i've seen his cool demeanor briefly break.
Your user name is excellent 👌
It is one thing to die. It is another to be unmade
Came to post
I remember 2 other times he did this, but obviously i don't remember wich videos they were on. It's pretty cool tho, specially because he doesn't usually do it
Humanity would never break through the Great Filter under this scenario.
Oooh, I love this one. A couple bits of trivia.
1) It was formerly called "A Spark Into the Night". Don't know when it changed, but I personally prefer that name.
2) This scip is connected to the entities known as the Pattern Screamers. In fact...
*SPOILER BELOW*
The exploration log is similar to what happens in SCP-3930, another pattern screamer scp, where we're receiving nonexistent feedback from recording equipment that no longer exists.
SCP-3930 does not exist. It does not have traces, and it "looks" like continuous landscape, because anything else would imply "existence" of some concept
This one here does exist. It just removes life and its habitat for being technologically advanced, and leaves enough traces for the foundation to figure out its mechanism
Yeah one log from observation post scp3426-2 had an account of “hearing screams until it’s unbearable and then vanishing into nothing”
There is a novel that takes this idea in the spoiler, Blind Lake by Robert Charles Wilson.
Yeah, as soon as the planet where black shadows erase information was mention I was like "Yep, pattern screamers". The mention of wailing only confirmed it.
Gotta love our screaming primordial fellas
"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far." H.P. Lovecraft
I was actually thinking about this since a big part of HP Lovecrafts writing came from the fact that he was a Luddite and didn't think we should be attempting to advance as a society.
@@moonlight_scribe he wasn't a luddite he just didn't believe that humans should understand or try to understand everything that it "could open dark and terrifying vistas" as another Cthulhu mythos writer put it " of things no man, descendant of man or extra solar creature could, would or should possibly comprehend" like he uses advanced technology (for his time) all the time in his story in the mountains of madness they use a small portable drilling rig to take rock and ice samples, uses airplanes that are designed for the polar climate and specially refitted ship insulated and padded that as he describes it is highly advanced for its time in his descriptions he never calls them fool hardy or describes the tech as useless or not worth while and he points out how advanced and intellegent the expedition is
So very accurate when it comes to us and the screamers.
fun fact: fungi from yuggoth was worked on between december 1929 and january 4 1930. Pluto was first observed in feburary of 1930
Imagine reading a book about fungus living on 9th planet taking human still living brains and some time later reading about newly discoverd 9th planet.
@@ambustio9807not a real planet, stop shilling, O5-[REDACTED] has repeatedly stated that pluto does not exist and is a cognitohazard made to sell model planetariums, earning outside sources of revenue is forbidden, and i ain't getting a cut so you can't have it either
Man the foundation is making more and more classes, I remember back when we were just level 1 researchers and all we had were Safe, Euclid, and Keter.
Lesson 1 of Level 2 is that everything you thought you knew, is wrong :D
Back in MY day...
@@bionicdragon5 look, ive been with the foundation a long time now and let me tell ya... shit gets crazy..
Powercreep xD
i miss those days, shit was simple and effective
In an ocean of horrifying monsters, concepts, and existential threats, this one stands out as one of the scariest: Imagine a world reaching the zenith of its potential only for an unknown and unnameable force to descend upon it, and redact it from existence in the most horrendous and mind-shatteringly awful way imaginable. That's whatever this THING is. And the worst part: the Foundation doesn't even know how it works...
The Foundation probably doesn't *want* to know how it works, just how to not piss it off, since it clearly knows everything. This answers the question of "what if the Q Continuum found humanity 'guilty' and decided to not be whimsical about our sentencing."
having reality itself break down in a way that has no explanation nor logic to it. There are SCP's that are horrifying, but difference is, that despite their scary nature we understand them. This is different, you don't know what the f*ck is going on there is no logic or any sense into what is going on, it just erases, shatters and destroys everything you've ever known without knowing why. The very molecules you are made up of forget how to function, you're rendered into nothing, and that's one of the greatest fears of a human and it's why this SCP stands out, the fear of not understanding what is going on
_...Yet._
Dr. Miller has been on a roll recently! His afternoon classes just keep getting better!
Isn’t it J MILLAR?
damn how did you find my name
I agree. I am happy I am not the only one catching up on containment procedures 30mins before assignment
*millar
Have you heard the good news of Jesus Christ?
You may think that, when you die, what you did in life chooses where you go-- or even that you don't go anywhere at all! But that's wrong, because the Bible says that it is only through belief in Christ that we are saved.
Think about it! The Bible, God's Word, is of infinite importance! Salvation is the difference between eternal life and eternal death. *If you do not place faith in Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, and you're wrong, what do you think happens?*
You may think that what you do impacts where you go. You may think that you're a "good person" and that God, All-Powerful and All-Loving and All-Merciful would not judge you. But that is wrong!
"8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)
"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8)
We *all* have sinned, and we *all* fall short of the glory of God. Even if the worst thing you ever did is steal a cookie, you have still sinned. God is of perfect love, but God is of perfect justice, too.
BUT THERE IS HOPE!
God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus Christ lived *a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose again on the third day!* He conquered sin *for us*, so that we may be forgiven.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
So *all you need to do to have eternal life* is believe in the Lord Jesus Christ-- believe in the Son of God. Turn away from a life of sin into a life that's good!
"When you sin, the pay you get is death. But God gives you the gift of eternal life. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done." (Romans 6:23)
Jesus never sinned, but died for ours. And, to have eternal life, we need to be saved from sin. And Jesus, our Lord and our Savior, died for us!
So how do you get saved? How do you get eternal life?
1. Believe in Jesus
This is the most important. It is only through faith-- not works-- that give the free gift of eternal life.
Believe that Jesus, the Son of God, was born as a human, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose again three days later.
2. Understand that you have sinned, and that you are a sinner.
Everyone, from all over the world, has sinned. But Jesus never sinned. Jesus Christ never sinned, but He paid the wages of our sin by His death. He died, and on the third day, rose again, so that we could live.
3. Ask God to forgive your sins, and try to do better.
Once you understand that you are a sinner, tell God that you believe, pray for your forgiveness and pray that God helps you not to sin.
Do your best not to sin, but if you slip up, that's okay! God forgives you if you ask Him to.
God loves you, no matter what.
You can always read the Bible for more information. The Bible is God's Word, and God is the ultimate authority.

The Nothing was scarier in the book.
You killed me 🤣
Volgun, before I even START this video, I would like to personally thank you.
I know I'm not some major UA-cam personality, but each and every day I go to work, and desperately search for something I can listen to to make my day less stressful.
More often than not, YOU pull through for me.
THANK YOU, for doing more to ease my anxiety than even my pills do.
I'm trying to take full responsibility for my emotions, but everyone needs a crutch at some point.
I'm seriously considering becoming a Patron, after all you have done for me. 👍
This entire channel is pretty SUS. But it's good sus.
I'm glad it works for you. I love SCPs but have to avoid them before sleep during stressful times at work because they increase my anxiety :)
@@gajxo Look up SCP 666 1/2-J
It's a great laugh, and it's really NOT stressful.
Good on you man. Supporting creators like Volgun is great. Buys him throat lozenges for the voice acting and coffee for late night video making. There are only 2 good SCP channels I know of and only volgun does the acting. Keep Dr.Millar sane.
@@gajxo and for me scp videos from the Volgun and the exploring series are the background videos that help me fall asleep best haha. It's funny how those videos have such different effects on people.
What I find interesting about this SCP is the part just before they start discribing the planets. The file mentions that, "All 16 were affected by SCP-3426 either upon discovery or within 5 years of detection." That sounds like we are the source if not the cause of the this SCP, like it only happens when we discover or detect these worlds.
Oh that’s a dark interpretation.
Or maybe their collapse draws us in?
It would make sense if this entire SCP is a pattern screamer. It grows with attention and knowledge of its existence. The screaming voices aswell is another trait of pattern screamers
@@Nickthebrick8What is the concept of a pattern screamer?
@@FullArcher05in case you haven't searched somewhere else: A pattern screamer is something that disproved Descartes "I think therefore I am. " A pattern screamer is not... But it can think anyway.
It is, essentially, a piece of sentient, stubborn non-existence. This is often represented in articles by writing things into the page's source code or in text the same color as the background.
Think of it like... Say you're watching a movie. What is behind the camera when you're watching a movie?
Nothing. Not just emptiness, because emptiness implies the possibility of fullness.
Now in real life, the answer would be that a camera operator is behind the camera. But of course in a film, the camera isn't actually there. In a film, the only thing that exists is what's on screen. Things offscreen are implied to exist, but they don't.
Imagine, though, that you are in the world of a movie. Not in the sense of Last Action Hero where you can look around and see more than was filmed. You're in the world of the movie that was filmed. You can't look behind you because behind you doesn't exist. You can't talk to the characters because you're not a character. You can't fast forward or rewind because you don't have a remote. Even if you did, you can't press it. Because you don't exist. To interact with anything, at all, you must in some way exist. But you don't. You can't do anything except think.
And eventually you'll run out of things to think about.
And then all you can do is scream.
And then you become a pattern screamer.
Okay. So what's so dangerous about something that doesn't exist? What you don't know can't hurt you after all...
But if you flip that around, then what you do know can hurt you.
The danger of the pattern screamer is that it fundamentally does not exist. And in fact it so fundamentally does not exist that its non-existence persists even when it SHOULD become something.
So let's say that someone, somehow, noticed the nonexistent you. You might think this is good. But it actually becomes worse. Because what they noticed was nothing. What they noticed cannot conceivably exist. So they can't think about it. Which means that whatever part of them is doing the noticing must ALSO not exist. Since it is now containing the nothing. And since the nothing is not merely an absence of thing, but is fundamentally not a thing, it cannot be contained in one's thoughts. Any box you put it in ceases to exist, because the only way to interact with something that does not exist is if you yourself don't exist.
And then that part of the mind of the person who noticed you becomes like you. Until like you, it can only scream.
14:55 this is literally one of scariest emergency broadcasts I've ever heard in my entire life. It's just so dreadful.
"Be silent until you no longer exist." That is the most terrifying line to me.
it sounds alot like an anomalous entity posing as a higher power to a society, would say when it wants to get rid of it, it's definitely freaky.
@@catsandfriends5918 yeah it is, it got me thinking of someone that it might affect. It made it personal. Even the instruction about taking something of sentimental value with you, along with an intense memory that might make you happy in your last moments scared me. This SCP can shake up just about anyone it seems.
It's very similar to another broadcast from and Analogue Horror UA-cam channel called Local 58 I think. I am not sure which came first but I feel as though one certainly drew on the phrase 'this message will continue until nothing is left to hear it' from the other, the wording is uncannily identical bordering on plagiarised.
@@tedytarrify I remember that one. It instructed listeners on how to kill children and pets before killing yourself. If you refused, law enforcement would show up to your house to kill you anyway.
Jesus fucking christ.
Never before have I had an SCP that has legitimately made me look out the window and just appreciate the fact that I and everything around me exists.
Does it though do we exist 😐
@@Grand_Principality_of_nunindae I think therefore I am 😮

I shit therefore I wipe
I know what you mean. Right now it's late Spring in my part of Northern Florida, it's very hot this week, and very sunny. This weekend we have a cooling trend coming, just in time for Mother's Day. And I'm just glad that it's all there and I have the ability to describe all of that.
14:54
That has to be the eeriest broadcast a sentient being can hear. It's basically announcing
"The end of the world has begun. There is no stopping or even delaying it.
Follow these instructions to best handle your immanent, slow, and unavoidable death / loss of existence,
Alternatively, you've been issued a weapon to end it quickly and painlessly."
Something worth noting: The original article has the tag "Pattern Screamer" attached to it. We know very well what these 'entities' are, and that leaves some very unpleasant insinuations as to what's happened to the planets and people affected by this anomaly.
I'm new to this concept. Could you please explain it to me? :o
@@Synful_RoX there's a few comment threads exploring the ideas of them around the place now, best to go shopping I'd say
@@Synful_RoX its a difficult concept to explain, pattern screamers are entities that existed before the universe? or universe laws? existed, when either the universe? or universe laws? were created, they ceased to exist, but not entirely, and they (for a lack of a better term) scream in the void wanting to exist. The exploring series has a video on it.
@@nightinthewhite3817 is scp-3125 or pattern screamers more powerful?
@@gpt-jcommentbot4759 depends on how badly a pattern screamer wants to exist i guess
For me, the greatest horror of the article is that given other Pattern Screamer articles, it's entirely possible that 3426 is happening *on purpose* and not just out of instinct. Just a roving band of beings with the minds of sociopathic conquerers, ensuring no one gets past a certain point of civilization on their own, for reasons no one will know except for themselves. (But knowing the other Pattern Screamer SCPs, they could just be so utterly vain. Or insane. Or both.)
3930 and 000 are implied to be underdeveloped and/or insane, 5170 is basically a power-hungry savant who wants to use his gift to grift the US populace, S hates the Foundation for legitimate reasons, etc. It's not just existence itself that compels them to scream; they can turn to good or evil the same way regular humans do.
I don't know what is scarier. The idea that this is being done on purpose or the idea that there is just something fundamentally intrinsic about the universe that it prevents advanced civilizations from ever forming.
Considering what the Pattern Screamers are, it may well be done benevolently. Their universe was completely destroyed. They may be trying to prevent something similar happening here.
@@colinsmith1495 Kind of seems like their actions are counterproductive if that's their intention.
There's a wanderer's library article that has "good" pattern screamers, they interview one and it's into gardening or something like that. If anyone's interested I could probably dig it up with 10 mins of searching.
@@electrotoxins I would like that
Interesting, I remember this one being referred to as "A Spark into the Night"
Even so, there is nothing that ISN'T unsettling about this. The idea of progress towards a utopic world where society eventually uncovers the truth of everything results in being wrested and redacted from existence...its one of the things that fill me with absolute existential dread
And its not even a quick end in some instances, but something that's gradual and absolutely terrifying for everyone experiencing it.
Jesus.
It's kind of like when the antimemetics division connects the missing dots and unmakes itself.
OHHHHHH! Thats why its familiar! I know this one then.
Not redacted, expunged. Redacted means the data is stored somewhere else. Expunged means completely deleted or omitted.
But yeah, probably one of the creepier SCPs as it's one that almost sounds like a believable idea especially with the dyson dilemma and fermi paradox being well known by everyone. Being a tier 1 species means to at least have access to the same amount of energy as the planet receives from their local star. It's something that is so far away from what we are today but totally possible.
It would require having a dyson sphere or a ton of fusion power plants for it to be achieved, but it is totally possible. Still, we have yet to ever find another species even building one in the sky. It's an idea that fills people with instant dread as there's nothing that should be able to stop them from getting farther than us, so why can't we find them? Well perhaps there is something in the way from getting farther than we are. It's hard to say.
I wonder why they changed the name. Maybe because the previous name could be interpreted as a bit of an optimistic sound, while this SCP is anything but.
They added more to the story a year or two ago IIRC.. They are info hazards, the more you know about them the more "real" they become and are known under other SCP designations, and are called Pattern Screamers. And clearly don't want anyone in existence knowing too much about their own reality/unreality. Screamers are generally hateful abominations that want to end this reality, as theirs was ended. Like hateful ghosts that inhabit some kind of incomprehensible Limbo. They added alot of the word "Scream" basically, to help you figure it out.
4:38 given the nature of this SCP to me this implies that the very cells of there bodies forget how to function, pretty damn horrifying.
Looks like the foundation is going to have to set up a cycle of “Return to Stone Age” if Earth is to avoid the fates of the other planets.
Return to monkee.
Fuck yeah yuga reset time
Rev up those scp-2000 because I sure am [DATA EXPUNGED]
In the SCP-6789 file the Foundation has this kind of solution.
But then we'd just be delaying our own demise. We need to escape our solar system before the sun dies and becoming a type 1 civilization is the only way to have any hope of doing that
...is this an SCP based on the concept of a Great Filter?? This is dope asf
That is a good call. Definitely explains Fermi's paradox
@@nathanielgrey4091 I wonder if this is the "silence" that The Harbinger refers to in scp 1281 [or maybe it was Darkness]
I was thinking exactly the same thing! Massive Great Filter vibes from this I'd be amazed if it wasn't an inspiration!
it seems like it yah!
I believe it's a combination of The Great Filter and the Pattern Screamers, as the article is tagged as being a Pattern Screamer SCP. Perhaps they are the Great Filter.
This scp made me feel just as terrified when I had just discovered the scp wiki and read "What happened to site 13"
(Wich I did not even finish at that time)
Back then I was 11 or 12 or so and completely terrified and scared, truly horrorfiing.
Great video! Thanks for letting me reecpirience this.
:)
I love 1730. such amazing storytelling xD
It sounds like a pattern screamer equivalent of the Foundation, trying to establish normality by redacting or voiding all things that would cause them pain. Any civilization that reaches those parameters must have the required components for a mass perception of the Pattern, even if subconsciously. That would lead them to also make a box for anything not matching the Pattern, hence an apocalypse brought about by patterns of cognition in such civilizations causing a sudden mass awareness of them.
What is The Pattern?
@@onepangaean3018 The abstract force that nearly eradicated them.
@@onepangaean3018 creation of our Universe most likley
My explanation:
Pattern screamers are that, patterns
They do not exist on their own, they're nothing
However when we interact with nothing our minds create patterns, and when we interact with patterns they cling into existence, and those patterns hate whatever is bringing them into existence because they are aware that we get to exist - to be real - and they dont
Not all of these patterns are things we created with our minds though, some are patterns of things that ceased to be, to exist, as impossible that is and the leftovers are only kept existing through the interaction with existing thing and these are the ones who hate us and envy us the most
The worse of them all are the patterns left of former existences that predated our universe, who were erased so we could be, still attached to existence through us, blaming us for their damned existence or lack of it and wanting to become existent, truly real, by stealing that from us, erasing us to subject us to what they were subjected despite *they* not being real at all, not anymore anyways, even though once something ceases to exist it never existed at all - a fate they desire for us
@@onepangaean3018 The Pattern is basically the nothing that everything floats in
The moment the story goes kardashev scale route and additional details were described, all I could think about is that somebody has finally given the great filter an SCP designation
Went from a metaphor to a whole ass eldritch horror, when I was a kid and I didn't understand what the Great Filter was I seriously perceived it as something like this.
In SCP-6001 Avalon, there’s an alternate universe where everything goes right and some of the 3426 conditions are met. I wonder if 3426 would have an extremely positive effect on a civilization and how it would be
Avalon is one of my favorite skips and makes me nostalgic and melancholic whenever I hear it
Maybe the beings in the Avalon universe found a way to pacify or "destroy" the pattern screamers
@@WaallyOne same
@@victore8342 that sounds plausible
avalon follows a society where the scp foundation has all but dissolved and anomalies live harmoniously with every other aspect of life which keeps it safe from 3426 and hell. might even be the correct answer.
This feels associative to "The Pattern"
Do you mean the pattern screamers
@@MichaelMurphy-wv4so No, the Pattern Screamers are (or rather, aren't) because of The Pattern
@Elijah only in a 4th wall dissolution event
I don’t normally consider Pattern Screamers as a faction in the same way I would the Foundation, GOC, etc., but if the Screamers have a common goal, this feels like it coming to fruition.
Scarier thought: what if this, all of this destruction, is just *one* Screamer that happens to be perceived by advanced civilizations, and as they strengthen with perception, once a civilization grows attentive, it is more than capable of wiping them out on its own.
@@trebacca9 Feels like this scp is what happens if the matrix was real, but instead of sending aware people to zion the machines just deleted everything.
"this message will continue until nothing is left to hear it."
I love this line because I hate it. I love the horror aspect of knowing that a situation is so dire and hopeless, the best course of action is to just accept your fate; hoping your end comes swiftly and painlessly. There's just something so terrifying about this that I can't help but love it.
This SCP is eerily similar to this sort of derealization disorder I've had experience with. Basically its a feeling you get where you feel like an outside observer and you arent real and it's the most terrifying thing I've experienced. The creepy part is that it acts like an infohazard that erodes your sanity if you think about it too much.
I suffer from dissociation/derealization/depresonalisation disorders and I know exactly what you are referring to. Thought I experience derealization and dissociation from my body pretty often and it's not that scary for me anymore, it never was and I was more curious than scared about what if I dissociate too much, is there anything "there" if I leave my body, that's why I started to experiment with dissociative drugs, first cough syrup from pharmacy store for 2$ (10z where I live) when I was 18/17. and now (I'm 21) I'm gonna buy some of that PCP analogues from internet, oops I think I shouldn't say that out loud. Better than opioids which I become dependent to when I started taking morphine upon discovering that I'm basically Hypersensitive to pain and senses for life and that's called hyperalgesia, now I'm trying to get off it as much as I can with mentioned dissociatives as well as numb myself because they offer numbing effect to sensing pain as well as mentally they "heal" and since I became homeless couple months ago the reality became unbearable, I need an exit if I want to not kill myself. Sorry for that bomb I didn't seen that coming I'm sorry I shouldn't spontaneously vent in UA-cam comments and treat it like therapist I couldn't ever afford lol. But yeah dissociation is really interesting actually if you go past being aboslutely shocked and scared by the sense of removing self from your body, i just noticed how similar it is thematically to this scpn
@maya_void I'm sorry to hear that. I can't offer much but if you want to talk I'm here for you.
eee-yup, thats how it is
This is my favorite SCP, and I've been requesting it for a while. Thank you! Great addition.
I've thought about this SCP a lot. There are some theories that this is a sort of "weapon" by an extremely advanced species, but I prefer a more naturalistic explanation.
To me, this SCP seems to suggest that "coherence" is a local, limited, and depleting resource in the universe that is tied to the strength of reality in an area. Using any form of logic, math, science, anything that relies on the universe making sense, in order to solve a problem, or manifest some technological invention, depletes coherence and the resulting strength of reality.
Something like the invention and mass production of automobiles would perhaps have a negligible, but detectable, depletion of coherence and a weakening of our reality - but once we're at the stage of building dyson spheres, the resource has been significantly used up. This would mean that technological innovation ultimately leads to the breakdown of reality, and that a sort of "unknowing trade" is happening in that the strength of reality is traded for technological advancement. The civilizations affected by this SCP simply depleted their local coherence through social and technological advancement to the point of a full collapse of reality.
This SCP is also an elegant answer to the Fermi Paradox, clearly.
Welp, all the aliens are dead now
I like this concept, well said!
This is an incredible concept, seems to be quite a plausible reponse that the universe acts upon (maybe involuntarily) to ensure constancy during its lifetime. Say if this phenomenon did not occur - multiple civilisations would grow exponentially in intelligence and influence in accordance to the Kardashev scale. The implications of this growth would most likely inevitably destroy the universe as a whole, so perhaps this act is a rubberband response to prevent such a growth to snowball - and not necessarily with evil intent, but as a necessity to maintain stability. You can think of it as the cosmic version of mother nature creating natural forest fires to clear out debris in order to prevent larger disasters.
There are also heavy implications of the Pattern Screamers being involved, but this theory may explain how they invaded each of these civilizations.
nice, I like this theory.
This SCP made me realize that The Great Filter is like a sci-fi Tower of Babylon.
Like the story is so mundane to us now since anyone brought up in or around Abrahamic faiths has heard it since they were little. But imagine you're at work one day, then suddenly the building is in pieces and you can't understand any of the people you were just talking to. Then this SCP turns it all up to 11.
3 minutes in this sounds like The Great Filter but an SCP which makes a lot of sense and it's a cool concept.
16:29 that was a nice Local58 reference lmao
Good to see I'm not the only one that deep into unfiction! :D
hell yeah, this was great! also loved the personal lecture notes at the end, those are always fun. feels like it's an actual lecture and brings a bit of extra life into it
Too bad it's now gone forever 😭
This one and 093 are SCPs I wish were entire books. I didn’t want the reading to end. Granted with 093 there was a huge addition with that exploration log from Thomas Blackwood but I hope something like that gets made for this one. Great stories man thank you for making this.
Imagine if we could get a Lord Blackwood entry in which he explores a planet affected by this SCP
Not quite the same horror focus, but you should definitely give Spin by Robert Charles Wilson a try.
This SCP reminds me of the true horror of dementia or alzheimer's. Everything about who you are just falls apart like corrupted software, aweful. On another note, outstanding work as usual. I particularly love the degenerated reality SCPs like this and daleport as well as MTF exploration logs.
This SCP makes me think that "Predatory Darkness" is something of a warning shot.
We must be getting too close...
I also thought that maybe it was somehow tied that, or to SCP-2460’s interpretation of dark matter and its reality-defying physics.
Was able to keep my cool and stay immersed in the story until I heard the name "Perpetually confused Meat-Mech Pilot" props to whoever came up with that name
I believe they went by the name u/1_r3@l_HuMAn
The distorted audio clips sounded so fricking creepy, if I was in the dark and heard that noise coming out of nowhere I'd be absolutely terrified. Also love the part where the guy talks about losing his sister, well, I like it because he just sounds so genuinely sad about his sister's disappearance. Almost made me wanna cry :(
Wow love this story and your voice acting! It seems to be a very good allegory for Alzheimer’s and similar diseases that mess with memory. You can see others get it before you, take measures to stop it or reduce the chances of it happening, but in the end, if you make it long enough; you’ll have reality and memory itself taken away from you.
Dark really but I think the point is just to enjoy the ride and not worry about the destination so much :)
I think there was a nod to that with destroying reflective surfaces. I think that a lot of people as they lose more and more of themselves begin to be terrified of mirrors unable to recognize themselves in it.
You'll love SCP-3135
Ah, the feeling of being this early to a Volgun video. Gotta love it!
New Volgun video + early = :)
Badabing
Woot
It's like a cosmic Tower of Babel story with the "theory of everything" serving as the tower. Lots of people think the construction was cursed with the confusion of languages because if completed the humans would see god but the actual reason given in Genesis is way more cruel. It's said that humans were becoming too cooperative and that if they completed the tower it would mean they could do anything, thus they had to be smote to protect god's supremacy.
Humans are limited we are not gods were mortals
@@Jormythebigsnake I don't know what point you think you're making. In the context of SCP humans can very much become gods and have access to godlike powers, although this article isn't about humans but something that may one day happen to humans. In the context of Genesis the limits humans have are the ones god keeps thrusting upon them by denying them immortality when casting them out of Eden or destroying cooperation and unity in Babel. In that story the only reason humans aren't gods is because a cruel and self admittingly jealous god wants it that way.
I don't know what fate is more terrifying.
Being consumed by the Flood.
Becoming biomatter in the construction of a new Reaper Starship.
Being absorbed into Tyranid Hovering Hive Ship.
Being turned into a Chimeran soldier.
Or facing one of the SCPs individually.
But this one....
I never imagined that was another lvl of fear and I will not be sleeping for a week.
At least those are mercy to being redacted
Holy fuck this has been my favorite underrated article and I'm so glad to see content on it
The idea that the Universe hates being understood and will annihilate any such understanding, is great
Well this just makes me sad. This is exactly the kind of scp that hurts the most to me - the idea that everyone and everything you love will be forgotten entirely, despite all attempts to protect it. Their only crime was trying to protect their futures.
The implication that some day, far in the future, humans will experience this too, well thats just…depressing.
*it's ok* , a good outlook on everything is that
" it will always be what **YOU** make it so make it positive! "
Telling myself this always helps when I get too deep in thought.
So for a explanation what’s happening is a “pattern screamer”
These are beings that where from a previous universe and survive, unfortunately they don’t really obey the normal rules of reality and often have super weird effects or ways to communicate. Not all of them r violent or cause so much damage such as this one. The effects and versions of them are wide spread and depending like a pattern screamer that’s a perfect sinkhole on the moon that’s basically a black hole that at anytime can expand destroying the world or a pattern screamer that shows it’s self as bamboo that pandas eat. There’s a bunch of them but watch “exploring series” UA-cam while he doesn’t do the normal format he does a great job to helping people understand in a formal way
see I thought pattern screamer when the probe's view began to pixelate and the log said "kalideoscope pattern" which immediately brought the screamers to mind.
I think this is the thing the pattern screamers were trying to get away from.
ES is a fucking super dope channel!!! He goes great with Volgun
@@AnimeShinigami13 I thought of them when people started to hear violent screaming
@@MrQuantumInc true in some stories the “pattern screamers” r actually trying to get away or survive a “pattern” that ends all depending on head cannon of course
This mans voice makes me drift into the most sound sleep I've ever known.
Better to sleep through being unmade, I suppose
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
This has such strong pattern screamer vibes. It's almost as if SCP-3426 is a pattern screamer that spreads as a cognitiohazardous memetic virus and turns victims into pattern screamers.
Oh yeah, this is 100 % a bunch of Screamers
Someone made the Great Filter into an SCP? Okay then lol.
If the great filter is anomalous, we are screwed
What is the great filter?
@@frankheninja1the theory is that they're is a great filter, stopping species from reaching the next stage, kurtzgasacht has a good vid on it
@@frankheninja1 It’s an idea that tries to explain the Fermi Paradox (the fact that we don’t see aliens even though the universe is unimaginably huge) by saying that there is some kind of event, or problem, or concept that prevents civilizations from advancing any further than around where we are at. A “Great Filter” for the evolution of intelligent life if you will
An excellent question! In truth, it’s any number of things, and we aren’t entirely sure.
Basically put, it is a major obstacle that life must overcome in order to progress to the next stage. For instance, the process of simple life forms becoming complex, and the formation of cellular organisms. Could be that most life in the universe never gets that far for one reason or another.
From there, single cells cooperating to form multi cellular organisms, or becoming diverse and present enough to spread to new environments, even the development of intelligence. Any number of these factors could be the so called “great filter” that explains why we don’t see life anywhere else. Why we seem to be alone in an expansive and planet populated universe.
Man this SCP is something terrifying. Something(s) from beyond the multiverse eliminating highly advanced societies from the universe and reality, from simply messing with things in various reality-breaking ways to straight up expunging a thing from reality, leaving behind a 2D void in 3D space. A lot of the descriptions of the different reality-breakings reminded me of The Hunger from The Adventure Zone, or the Glitch from Pibby (among other things).
"This message will continue until nothing is left to hear it" hits hard
Someone mentioned this could be related to the "observer effect," where basically the reason these planets are going to shit is because the foundation (or other planets) have observed them. It's also definitely related to Pattern Screamers and the idea that looking too much into the makeup of the universe means there is an increasingly large chance that a civilization will discover the existence of Pattern Screamers, and that knowing about them at all can be catastrophic. In fact the Foundation tends to heavily dissuade research on them.
Strongly agree.
Brilliant video. The mechanical voice was chilling to listen to. And that tiny note at the end by 'Dr. Miller' was exactly the kind of thing many of us were missing from your earlier videos. Definitely a solid production and step in the right direction. Well done.
Hearing Miller's shaken demeanor at the end really adds to the human consequences of this SCP. It gives a little snippet into how the foundation likely feels in knowing that it's out there.
I don't know why but I seem to be able to comprehend the science based scps better than the more, for a lack of a better way to phrase it, fantasy ones. Like all good scps though it fascinates and terrifies me in equal measure. Nicely done
This skip is related to Pattern Screamers and "the pattern" of nonexistence, which have a moderately-hard sci-fi backing but first appear as soft sci-fi. Any time they show up it's totally inexplicable absurdity, often with entry gimmicks like text being hidden in page source. Connecting the disparate articles that have them or mention them paints an existentially bleak picture about perception and end-of-time civilizations that got utterly wrecked by dimension-hopping.
Lots of Pattern Screamers are bound in either compressed dimensions or the mechanical arrangements of particles, with poorly controlled avatars in our world. Often the proof of their existence only really exists as extremely improbable results in chaotic but generally predictable phenomenon, like the arrangements of wind-blown particles landing on something. It's a "Jesus on Toast" sort of thing.
The voids of nonexistence are sort of like wormholes between universes/dimensions/timelines which grow in size and create more chaotic perception-reflecting holograms the more they're perceived, and they utterly obliterate all known physics as objects pass into the void. The perception can be from sapient beings as we know them, but they can also be things like geological processes or other data-encoding macro phenomenon. If you've ever heard of the blackhole information paradox, it's like that. Expeditions into them are extremely discouraged due to the probability of perceiving sacrificed explorers as still real long after their mind gets replaced by insane holograms.
See SCPs 2528, 2682, 3340, 3930 for an introduction. 1678 and 1795 imply that humanity was/is/will-be one such civilization that has went into the void, and that we got off pretty damn lucky despite it all.
@@JakeN482 SCP 6930 is a bit more optimistic, she is the older sister of SCP 3930 who got therapy and achieved reality and even physical form and became a streamer to reconnect with society, wholesome for the pattern screamer genre.
Anyone else have the desire to answer the "good afternoon everyone" either verbally or in your head lol
Please report to on site personal for amnestics
@@djglitch2.031 that sounds oddly familiar.... Like I've heard it before... *shrugs* must be Deja vu 😂
I could interpret this two ways:
1. Entropy
2. The inhabitants of these planets acquired forbidden knowledge, and something/someone saw fit to erase them and their entire reality to quarantine it.
Its pattern screamers, so basically option two. Its hard to explain, but basically they're residents leftover from an erased prior universe and live in the space between worlds. SCP to do with them tend to have things related to erasure and information/data in them. The implication in this SCP is that these worlds advanced to the point where they were trying to fiddle around with and explore the building blocks of the universe itself and accidently exposed themselves to various pattern screamers who proceeded to alter the reality of and erase their worlds in various ways in an attempt to enter it and gain form.
This one scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it, since then though I had an incident where I severely injured my ankle and was given a dose ketamine for anesthetic purposes. Being on it felt uncannily similar to how reality being undone is described here, though I technically experienced it in reverse since I can only remember coming out of the trip and not falling into it. I very vividly remember the initial sense of complete and total disconnect from everything; reality, time, space, my body, the very fact that 'I' as a concept even existed was completely beyond me. Some of these writers capture the feeling so accurately that I cant help but wonder if they've also had vivid unreality experiences in their own lives. Doesn't even have to be drug induced, endogenous forms of dissociation can get pretty intense too.
I've already seen this from other channels, but I still watch videos covering scps I've already seen here or elsewhere, as it's always nice to see it get covered by everyone. Great video!
For everyone who might find it interesting, this scp is based on one of the answers to the Fermi paradox called the "great filter".
Here's an exampt of the wiki article:
"It posits that in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there exists some particular barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare.[1][2]
The concept originates in Robin Hanson's argument that the failure to find any extraterrestrial civilizations in the observable universe implies that something is wrong with one or more of the arguments (from various scientific disciplines) that the appearance of advanced intelligent life is probable; this observation is conceptualized in terms of a "Great Filter" which acts to reduce the great number of sites where intelligent life might arise to the tiny number of intelligent species with advanced civilizations actually observed (currently just one: human).[3] This probability threshold, which could lie behind us (in our past) or in front of us (in our future), might work as a barrier to the evolution of intelligent life, or as a high probability of self-destruction.[1][4] The main conclusion of this argument is that the easier it was for life to evolve to our stage, the bleaker our future chances probably are."
@Eric Nunya while I agree that is the most likely parameter, the Fermi paradox also speaks of signs of other living beings not being present. Like radio waves, objects blocking stars, etc. But again I would contribute that to the fact that we can't possibly observe everything in the night sky at once, and that we live on a relatively "old" planet, meaning we are possibly way ahead evolutionary of other potential lifeforms.
Now I know what it would feel like if I was a sapient two-dimensional comic strip character being slowly erased by a three-dimensional cartoonist. The sheer lack of understanding due to the imperceptibility of what was happening to me would be terrifying.
This is one of your best, without question. The voice acting is pitch-perfect, the scip is scary as hell, the mood and imagery are absolutely on-point. This is an experience. One I've personally undertaken 3 times now, each time more chilling than the last. Can you IMAGINE the universe in which this is a real thing that can and has happened, and will again? Hell itself would tremble at the notion....
Thank you Volgun, you have cemented your place as one of my favorite entertainers and people. Keep on rocking in the free world...
Thanks for bringing back your after lecture input. I agree with someone that said it below. It makes it feel like this is legitimately a lecture. It adds wonderful personality
This really reminds me of the SCP that shall not be described (the one only shown using pictographs). Perhaps it is one of the entities specific to this SCP that has the job of erasing its own existence (as it is a part of the greater 3426 situation). Since this SCP seems to despise "knowledge" obtained by intelligent life, its not weird to assume we have given a random but nearly identical description of one of the entities in this SCP and thus its info is erased. Its like how the anti-meme that shall not be named, and if described or understood, will erase you from existence.
Thank you for your quality uploads Volgun! I always look forward to each new vid! 🎥 🎞
Slight breaking the fourth wall but I love that how it shows that you really listen to your community. Everyone has been asking for lil notes at the end of lectures from Dr. Miller and you integrated it soon after! This is why I love your channel so much ♥️
great production quality. this is a story i know by heart but you still made it give m chills. great videos over the years. a+ radio acting
Watching this at 1am in the dark hits different. Thank you for these wonderful videos!
I took ambien a while ago and thanks to this thing I am still very much conscious and not looking forward to the Ambien-fueled SCP nightmares. I will learn nothing from this and plan on a repeat tomorrow.
So, this SCP basically destroys civilizations that find out why or how everything in the universe exists or works, which basically would solve the Fermi Paradox with the great Filter theory. I guess this is my new favourite SCP
Oh this is sick, an SCP regarding the Fermi Paradox, the fact that its a real head-scratching phenomenon makes this report much more grounded, and far more bone-chilling.
The uncertainty in his voice at dismissal really made that feeling of inevitability so solid I could cut it with a hypothetical space laser
10:10 - IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, THERE'S NO KIND OF ATMOSPHERE,
I'M ALL ALONE, MORE OR LESS
LET ME FLY FAR AWAY FROM HERE
FUN FUN FUN IN THE SUN SUN SUN
I want to lie, shipped wrecked and comatose,
Drinking fresh mango juice.
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes.
Fun, fun, fun in the sun sun sun
I love it even more when you use this particular backing track, it has the perfect blend of dread and awe.
On topic: its horrifying that a “concept” could cause the extinction of an advanced civilisation.
I agree about this sound track, I love it!
These longer vids of yours are some of my favorites on UA-cam!
P.S. hot DAMN that voice acting hits hard
Love the content. So glad I found your channel.
What another lovely possible answer of the Fermi Paradox. As much as the universe wants all things to reach stability and equilibrium, this SCP just *REDACTS* anyone that manages to reach it.
It's a really cool idea turning the Great Filter into an anomaly. I love how it's interpreted in media and especially here. Really chilling stuff to imagine how futile it could be to escape suffering and strive for perfection and stability.
Makes me think of the FFXIV storyline too and how well that idea was played off there. I can imagine Endsinger being a sort of anomaly too.
Thank you. Do love these longer ones
This is probably my favourite scp so far, and I'm really enjoying listening to these while doing chores or the like
This reminds me of Harbinger in Mass Effect 2.
“Human, your species has the attention of those infinitely your greater. That which you know as Reapers are your salvation through destruction.”
Eff that guy, Shepherd fueled by space cocaine in the form of medi gel and being really horny for a woman he had literally never seen the face of (Tali is the best) killed all of them and he will fucking do it again for whoever the reapers may or may not have been defending life from.
Someone read the ‘Remembrance of Earth's Past’ Trilogy (aka ‘The Dark Forest Trilogy’) novels ;) ..excellent article and (as usual), STELLAR narration/encapsulation my friend. Awesome work 👍
Whats a good description of the general story of that series I am quite curious now.
I LOVE the ambience sounds, I like they all add different tone to the video. This one is awesome
This was more chilling than I expected. Your narration was excellent.
This is uncannily like Tuffto's proposal, where they rewote the Scarlet King and Dr Montauk to be about the dangers of knowing and learning about the world. I wonder if the gods of the mechanists and the sarkics exist in these universes where learning itself is detrimental to existence.
Interesting story, Modulum
"All planets meeting the criteria for 3426 underwent catastrophic decoherence withing 5 years of discovery."
Well that just makes me think we have something to do with causing 3426 to happen to them, once they get seen by us.
Wish this content was on spotify, makes dealing with customers seem like a cake walk. Love your content my dude!
Dude yes! This is one of the first SCPs I stumbled upon a few years ago. You're the fucking best man.
Wow. I'm hard to creep out. It's really difficult for horror to get under my skin, despite how much I love it. This is by far the most unnerving piece of horror media I've ever encountered. It is incredible how much this is my nightmare.
I´ll never stop being impressed by the Doctor's voice acting skills. How easily he can talk in so many different accents as if he was a native is just astonishing to me
That's probably one of my favorite thumbnails from you. It just looks so menacing
this channel is my new favorite. Well done.
There needs to be a word for dreadful exhilaration. Or maybe, awe-filled angst... I bet the Hittites had one. Well done, Dr. M. You've made the Great Filter palpable.
If you need me I'll be over here rocking in the corner.
Honestly with SCP's like SCP-3200 and SCP-3426 space seems like complete hell in the foundation universe. Like the entire solar system and some surrounding stars are normal but the rest is anomalous, and there's that one SCP where they literally find a planet made of cotton candy. The idea though, that everything outside our solar system is insane and anomalous is scary af.
That wasn't a natural part of the universe in that cotton candy one. It was one of many galaxy sized "duplicate rooms" created by the imperfect solution to turning The Architect off ("put it outside so it has no house to expand").
3930 has an older sister 6930 who was a pattern screamer but got therapy, achieved reality and even a physical form and became a streamer to reconnect with society, oddly wholesome at least as far as the pattern screamer genre goes.
Your voice acting is amazing man always love these videos
THANK-YOU FOR BRINGING YOUR ENDING COMMENTARY BACK!!!
the delivery at 22:30 is phenomenal. love this one
