  • Surviving the World - Lesson 71 - Alternate Universes (An Attempted Two-Dimensional Rendering Of An Infinitely-Directional, Near-Incomprehensible Concept)

    My first choice would be the world where, by law, everyone must always be singing & dancing. It sounds like a fun place to be. Second choice is the world where cheese cures all disease. Of course, my two cats would prefer the world where parmesan cheese is used as kitty litter.

    Lilynia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-worlds_interpretation , but I have another view because I don't know quantum physics. (I may be epically bullshitting here. Or not. I'm not sure). The way I see it, it's less about the existence of parallel universes (that's unprovable as far as I know, and pretty pointless) and more about the possibility of those parallel universes having been our own instead of the one you're living in. You see, there's nothing really stopping you from creating a mathematical model or computer program that describes how the universe, or a subset of it, would work given certain variables. What would you call by "variables"? It's up to you, you could model the movement of the stars, or the life of a rabbit, anything that's technically a subset of the universe (which would basically be everything we know). As long as you can think of it, no matter how complicated or how simple, it can be modeled (even reality-breaking stuff, as long as you change the rules of your model). Thinking about it that way, you could describe a universe where the moon is made of cheese. The only thing separating our universe from that one could be the variable "is the moon made of cheese? Y/N". Or you can model a universe where a variable is a certain choice you made: by changing that variable and running the model you could see how the universe would have been if you had chosen another option. Then again, being able to model it doesn't necessarily mean it could have existed, the relation doesn't work both ways. Once again, this is how I think about the issue. I'm a computer engineering student, so maths and programming heavily influence my train of thought.

    technically he would be right if the strange many worlds theory is correct (like i know wtf im talking about)

    The idea of parallel universes doesn't make sense to me. At least, not in the way implied here (e.g. by which, a new universe exists for every possible outcome - how does that make sense? - why would it happen?)

    Parallel worlds....that's the theory I've got my money on....

    Our universe...I want to live in one of those "other" universes, like the one where everyone must always be singing or dancing, or the one where break ups don't hurt and missing someone you care about isn't painful or lazy rainy mornings don't bring back bittersweet memories...

    Oh shi-. This picture was taken in an alternate universe.

    There are an infinite amount of alternate realities, here are about 15 or 16 of them.
