    Thumbs up A maze of probabilities!!

    {I am giving this thread viewing one of guilles(the twin earth thing)}
    everytime man is faced by probabilities. all the probabilities branch of into different realities. So it doesn't matter man was once faced by the probability of calling water whether h20 or XYZ there the probabilities branch of in that reality everything is similar except the naming of water. though identical twins look the same they may wear clothes of different colours

    Re: A maze of probabilities!!

    Suppose evolution continues and man gets used to living in space. His/her body a sphere size of a city. Then discorporates because discovers that energy can be drawn from "empty" space not to mention stars etc. Then becomes a black hole and "shooting through" explodes into a new cosmos. So far so good. But what happens when evolving creatures in that new cosmos cannot leave the house of their "parent" because the opposing force triumphed? (Opposing force is always spawned.)
    The kind of struggle that ensues could be of interest because, as we well know from quantum theory (and CTMU) the future reacts with the present and the past.

    Re: A maze of probabilities!!

    If you are referring to a splitting of reality into infinite and equal possibilities due to the indeterminism of quantum mechanics, then you are visualizing QM wrong.
    The way I see it is that only one local reality has real existence. The propabilty function is a wave of fundamental entity (matter or energy) if viewed in isolation (see quantum experiments). Since the wave is always subject to interaction with other waves, it decoheres into the peak of defined existence. Evolution then determines the stability of these systems, and their ability to pass on enough information to construct complex systems that observe itself.
    There is no maze of propabilites, only one real outcome subject to competition for stability
