Title: My dumb luck
Post by: feralchat on September 25, 2007, 09:30:58 PM
I read the following just now, which made me think —— So why do I have to live in the universe where Bishop fumbled the fracking ball?


Parallel universes really do exist, according to a mathematical discovery by Oxford scientists described by one expert as "one of the most important developments in the history of science".

The parallel universe theory, first proposed in 1950 by the US physicist Hugh Everett, helps explain mysteries of quantum mechanics that have baffled scientists for decades, it is claimed.

In Everett's "many worlds" universe, every time a new physical possibility is explored, the universe splits. Given a number of possible alternative outcomes, each one is played out - in its own universe.

A motorist who has a near miss, for instance, might feel relieved at his lucky escape. But in a parallel universe, another version of the same driver will have been killed. Yet another universe will see the motorist recover after treatment in hospital. The number of alternative scenarios is endless.

If you want Bishop to hold on to the ball - Turn to page 73.
If you want Bishop to fumble the ball - Turn to page 42.

I really really hate physics. Mostly that quantum crap. Just weird.

That's ridiculous.

LMAO!

I loved those books, but I would cheat sometimes...  :peek:

don't forget the energy cannot be destroyed/created deal.

That is indeed bullcrap.  If there were parallel universes, they wouldn't be created everytime something happens.  They would simply already exist.  Duh.  Feel free to quote for truth.

I was just in a depressing rage because I re-watched the Bishop epic-failure fumble play and now I have hope!

page 73 Bishop gets hit by a car on in a bizaar death on the feild

page 42 Bishops career turns into a car wreck and he wishes he was dead

That's ridiculous.

So was the idea that the earth is round.  Just saying...

so, if the person is alive in one universe and dead in the other, how would they even be parallel?  If the guy that lived went on to have children, then in the other universe, those children would not exist; therefore, for those children there would be no parallel universe.  I could imagine that from the start of time it could work, but after centuries the universes would grow so far apart that nothing would be similar at all.

So?  Paralleled doesn't seem to entail similarity.

I believe the version of time would be parallel. Although time can be manipulated too (fact), these separate universes would follow the same timeline I'm assuming....assuming the theory is true also.

You're forgetting that parallel universes only exist in our minds, among the rapidly-firing (in some cases) synapses. It's kind of like... "Every time a wildcat dies, Michael Bishop gets his wings."

The great thing about quantum mechanics is that f=ma doesn't matter.
