If there is separate a dimension for every possible outcome as suggested in string theory, then yes... but would it be a result of your decision, or would it have been spontaneously created anyway?

No, Rigwyn. Was that a serious question? Gawd.

Is this thread at all serious? ZOMFG.

It was serious at the beginning. :P

I personally did not think it was serious. At the time I presumed it was rather silly by nature. Later on I presumed differently. I presumed it was nonsensical, a more silly form of silly, that is to say, closer to absurdity. Then, at another point, specifically page 18, I presumed it to be absurd. Thus, the thread had reached the level of absurdity. This is the most extreme level of absurdity, silliness and nonsensicality. Or so I presumed. My presumption of this thread's silly, or rather, nonsensical, or rather, absurd, nature, was presumptuous to say the least. By page 26, the page I write on now, it had exceeded the descriptive word absurd, and had become something beyond that. My presumption now, as it were, is that this thread has become absurd beyond absurd. Such a level of absurdity is in part, arbitrarily designated, since such a level of absurdity cannot be fully comprehended, but certainly conceived of in part. This means my assessment is, better put, a presumption. At this point in time it is unknown if this presumption is, in fact of certainty, presumptuous. It would perhaps be reasonable to presume otherwise. Such an assessment is not beyond comprehension, but conceivability, since my mind holds an opposite presumption. One's mind cannot presume two opposites at the same time, since presumptions are rather intuitive by nature.

Ooooo k... since you three cared to shoot me down, would you care to explain what exactly I missed?

I explained string theory to you a year or two ago. And here you are recycling this old nonsense again. Stop it.

Back up what you are saying. If I missed something, point it out or shut up.

It was on IRC, if I recall correctly, and you probably did not bother to retain the information since you were agitated with me for denying your scientific fantasies.

String theory has nothing to do with conscious decision-making or spontaneously created universes. (Note that they are called universes, not dimensions.)

Imagine that the fundamental particles of our universe are made up of vibrating strings. When the strings vibrate at a frequency (in the many postulated dimensions), its respective pitch is chosen (the type of particle). However, this is at a very small level. The fate of the universe is predicted by these vibrations. Not your daily life. There is no other version of you in any universe.

I am horrible at explaining complex ideas.

Let's see... when casually I said this:

If there is separate a dimension for every possible outcome as suggested in string theory, then yes... but would it be a result of your decision, or would it have been spontaneously created anyway?

I said it in response to this:

Apart from that, if you change anything in a different time, you will "return" to a different parallel universe which was created by your decision.


It was on IRC, if I recall correctly, and you probably did not bother to retain the information since you were agitated with me for denying your scientific fantasies.

Kindly substantiate your claim.

No shit, Sherlock.

I did not claim to know the whole truth about this universe or any other; I may simply have exaggerated my incomplete and unreliable memories regarding different theories about the multiverse and time travels. Just to make this thread a little less boring, hopefully.

;D

ITT: People spouting non-science and raging for being called out. (More like one person, but whatever; it's going to happen.)

The oververse -- that being the macro universe made up of the infinity of our sized universes -- is made up entirely of grey blobs floating in an endless void. There is another level on top of it that contains nothing but cats. Beyond that I have no information, I suspect that the next level above that, the concatenation of cats, as it were, may be where the taxoplasmosis occurs.

Well, this started out as a loose, half serious discussion. I wasn't trying to bust Ligh's balls or anything and no, I'm not %100 serious about this stuff either. String theory is just theory.

Sarras, if you were offended by the discussion that evolved from your scientific fantasy about traveling into the future to retrieve your fossilized turds, then I apologize.  It was not an attempt to call you out on spouting non-science or anything. I was just having fun with the idea.
