| 1280993 | 2012-06-11 04:48:00 | Being in multiple places at the same time, traveling backwards in time and acting as waves and particles at the same time dependent upon observation - well ---> hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Anybody got a decent article on that for me to read? Can we really chose one action over another (turning left or turning right, f'rinstance) and/or doing both at the same time? Does a parallel but different version of everything exist, perhaps in other worlds? That double slot test is fascinating . I've always held to the 'sliced bread' theory, but this is much more interesting . The micro-world is weird . I feel that this 'weirdness' has to be controllable to be of any value or even of any purpose . Sounds a lot like Linux to me . |

| 1280995 | 2012-06-11 05:39:00 | First off, no sorry I don't know of a good article. Secondly, I read this stuff occasionally and struggle to follow a lot of it but I enjoy trying. I have a personal line of reasoning that goes something like this; The universe is either infinte or at least incredibly huge, To create another universe would require massive amounts of energy For every action with more than one possible outcome to create another universe for every outcome would require an exponentially greater amount of energy increasing over time. Deciding what to have for breakfast can't possibly generate that kind of energy. So either an infinite number of universes already exisited for all these possibilities to play out in or the whole Idea is ridiculous. I have another problem with what I just said. I believe the word universe to be an all encompassing phrase for "everything that is". You can't have multiple everythings, if you do then you need a new word. |
