Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our very first deleted scenes special,

Moments for Meriwether. During the course of season three, we had a few opportunities to record

additional bits of background dialogue or extra material that didn't quite make it into the finished

episodes. This first scene was recorded for episode 75, an extended version of the conversation

between Dr. Caldwell and the Ouroboros. While we ended up using snippets of it as part of the sound design, both Chris and Oliver did such a great job with the scene that we wanted to share it in its entirety.

You keep saying that information is eternal, but what about the information paradox?

What about matter that falls into black holes? There's no way to retrieve that.

Just because you can't find something you've lost doesn't mean it's gone, Daniela.

Does your TV remote cease to exist just because it's fallen down the back of your couch?

Do your glasses disappear when you can't find them on the top of your head?

Do your parents cease to exist when they're out of sight behind the doors of their care facility.

I...

No. Of course not.

Of course not. Energy. Manor. Information. None of these things can ever be destroyed.

But only one is constantly created.

As we've been standing here, the history of your shoes, your clothes, your very soul has grown by ours,

and the touch of the beyond I bring with me.

Every second of that history is information, coded in the skin of the world you call

real. And every second, the clock of my program takes forward another integer, another binary digit.

We are the same our two worlds.

And while it might be corrupted, no information has ever truly lost.

It's just hard to find. But the singularity destroys all traces of the matter that falls into it, makes it homogenous.
