I will revisit the Matrix quantum mechanical description of M-theory and build a unified duality web of BPS-like decoupling limits that are centered around BFSS Matrix theory. I will build such a duality web through the looking glass of novel string worldsheet theories that exhibit nonrelativistic behaviors. I will show how this duality web unifies Matrix theories with string theories that are nonrelativistic, tensionless, ambitwistor, and Carrollian, as well as the ones that are related to the Spin Matrix limits of AdS/CFT. I will also comment on potential applications to the AdS/CFT correspondence and flat space holography.
