Why is the upside down years in the past? Does time exist there?


Has it always been disconnected from the current time? Like when they search for guns but they arent there because its still the day Will disappeared. Is it always that day? Does time not exist in the upside down?

Might have something to do with the timing of when Vecna was sent there.

I don't understand your question. Does time exist in the upside down? Obviously.

But why would the guns appear in the house? WHO would put the guns there? Just because time exists it doesn't mean that guns should miraculously appear in that location.

The upside down world was created at a certain point in time as a copy of the real world. Like a clone. But once you create something it diverges from the original, it doesn't keep copying the original. If the original breaks a bone after the cloning it doesn't mean that the clone will have a broken bone.
