Re: Timelines and the AfterLife question
I would say that the nearest timelines only hold relatively small differences. For someone to be a serial killer in another reality something would have triggered the change at some point and the divergence would be great.
I don't really buy into the theory that everything happens somewhere, the alternate universe theory doesn't require there to be an infinite amount of different realities, just enough to cover the effects of random events in your own life.
I'm not saying it's not possible, in some other world you could have accidently killed a family member with a seemingly inocuos act which slowly sent you mad, but wouldn't this be a vastly different person to the one you are now so a long way through many realities where less drastic changes are apparent. For example, is there really a need to have two seperate realities where a speck of dust or a water molecule is in a slightly different place in each, the only time it would be important is at the time of observing it, maybe then alternate realities spring into existence as it becomes a point of focus and relevance ?
A question, some people are theorising that the mind is a quantum computer of sorts. I can create a fairly detailed picture in my mind of pretty much anything.So, if you think of a scene does it make it real in an alternate universe ? In which case it could never happen in yours as it exists elsewhere. Such as winning the lottery, the more sure I am that I'm gonna win the crappier my numbers turn out to be.
This is different from willing something or causing things to happen through strong belief, I'm thinking actual visualisation in the mind of a specific chain of events, maybe there is a fine line here ?
It actually has helped with my fear of flying, in my mind I fear the plane crashing so have created it in an alternate reality, though the flip side could be that by creating a nearby reality in which the plane goes burning to the ground I increase the chances of it happening in mine, just by a slightly different means. I think I just made myslef scared of flying again :grin:
