I’m imagining like a lot of different timelines. I’m jealous of the versions of me in the better timelines, and simultaneously afraid of those darker timelines, ones even darker than this timeline.
Do y’all think of the world as different “timelines”?
Perhaps I’m too obsessed with time-travel/multiverse-theory?
Btw I read Recursion lately (time trsvel story). And I watched Dark Matter TV Series (parallel universe story). Both stories by the same author.
Every time these concepts appear in the media, my “obsession” just goes even further.
I don’t like this current “depression” timeline. Very shitty.
There are a few theories attempting to make sense of time and timelines. I’m a medic, so this is all outside my area of expertise, but something I’ve been intrigued by nonetheless. The one that’s made the most sense to my laymen’s level of understanding is the Point Line Plane postulate which basically treats time as a literal spacial dimension.
These videos are more academic than entertaining, so it’s a bit dry, but it starts with the familiar first four dimensions (length, width, depth, duration), and builds off of those to postulate all the up to the 10th dimension. After the 4th is when things start getting interesting - different time lines, dimensional folding, etc.
Sounds like it might be your cup of tea:

Duration?
It starts with that?
Then it starts with a complete and absolute failure to comprehend even the basics of relativity.
Correct - it’s not about relativity. I don’t understand the complaint…?
“Duration” isn’t one of the “familiar first four dimensions”. That’s the point.
Disagree - it’s one of the dimensions we can actually observe. 5th and higher are less intuitive, but length, width, depth, and duration account for the entirety of our experience.
