ynopsis

John Crichton accidentally enters a wormhole and encounters an Ancient he refers to as "Einstein", who explains the art of wormhole navigation, and the concept of unrealized realities. Unrealized realities are created and can be reached using wormhole travel, or more specifically improper wormhole travel. Though any traveller can enter and exit a wormhole, they have no control over where the wormhole will deposit them. Those who can "navigate" wormholes, an ability given to Crichton by the Ancients, can find the exit that takes them to where they want to go. If done incorrectly, however, the navigator can end up in one of many skewed, alternate destinations that surround their true, intended reality.

Einstein shows Crichton some examples of unrealized realities: Crichton experiences — again — his first day on Moya, only this time he is killed by Aeryn Sun while imprisoned with her. He is also shown a reality where he is a Peacekeeper captain forced to kill his prisoner Sikozu, a Scarran spy (which later turned out to be true in his own universe). Crichton also glimpsed a reality where Earth had been conquered by the Scarrans and, strangest of all, a bizarre version of Moya where the identities of his companions had been switched (Aeryn was Chiana, Chiana was Noranti, Noranti was Rygel, etc.) — all of whom die, betrayed by Crichton who is revealed to be working for Crais.

Crichton would later return to this latter reality with Scorpius, intending to find Sikozu/Stark and learn information vital to saving the Aeryn in his reality. [http://www.scifi.com/farscape/journeylogs/season4/prayer.html]
