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.
Via the concept of Laplace’s Demon, according to those physicists.
Laplace’s Demon is just a thought experiment, and has nothing to do with alternate timelines.
Anyway, multiple timelines are definitely not incompatible with our understanding of physics and causality. Look into the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. (in my opinion, the most reasonable explanation of quantum physics)
I mean referring to the parallel universe concept. Unless everyone here believes in free will, the thinking goes universes that start out the same are going to play out the same, requiring any differences to be caused by external interference.
