NOVA replays late at night around here which is good because I’ve given up sleeping in favor of scientific exploration through television. Last night they had a documentary about Quantum Physics by the lead singer of the Eels whoes dad happens to be possibly the most brilliant person you’ve never heard of; real name, Hugh Everett. He only had one theory in his short and mostly obscure life but that theory, known today as the “Many Worlds Interpretation” (MWI, if you’re nasty), completely changes everything you’ve ever known about life, the universe, and everything. Here’s what it states, straight from the mouth of an actual and well-respected physicist:
“So, in Everett’s view, when the human correlates herself—that is, interacts, exchanging energy with the gram of carbon or a clock or whatever—she splits like an amoeba. She splits into copies of herself, one for each element in the superposition.
…Everett showed mathematically that there would be no contact between the copies, that each copy when it correlated to an element of a superposition in the object it was observing would in effect then go off on a track that was a completely separate universe from the other copies that were doing the same thing, correlating with other elements of the superposition. They would all be going off within their separate universes.”
This means that, for everything you’ve done (or haven’t done) and everything everyone else has (or hasn’t) done there’s a parallel universe where it’s happening. And this is all backed up… WITH MATH! And we all know math doesn’t lie, right Andrew? (see mathematical proof providing women are evil)
So basically there are an infinite number of you’s out there and an infinite number of me’s out there in an infinite number of universes. And with the possibilities being infinite I’m sure I’ve killed you in at least one of those worlds. Plus we’ve probably totally kissed! Which, depending on who are you, is gross or possibly highly erotic. Who knows? Anything goes out there in the infinite possibilities of parallel existence void of the confines of human consciousness. You just sit and think about that for a little bit. My mind is officially blown (ha chi ma chi).
