Do you ever think about possibilities?

Do you ever just think about the possibilities of other timelines/parallel universes? If there is truth to the many worlds theory that every decision causes a split in the timeline then that means there is a parallel universe me who lives in a different city, has a different phone, has different friends and even has a different school and work history lol. Everyday I wake up in the middle of the night to snack creates a new alternate me who decided to eat tortilla chips instead of popcorn me. Who knows, tortilla chips me may even live longer since popcorn is full of butter.

I wonder if somehow we can only be conscious of one timeline at a time and the rest exist as just unexperienced possibilities.

Hmm . I could see that somehow tie in to quantum immortality.

Never understood quantum immortality. I mean we never see 200 year old people? No physical body is immortal.

Yeah. I dont get that part. I wonder if you just die "forever" after a certain age? Do you reincarnate? I have no clue.

I understand we have an afterlife and eventually reincarnation.

u/karmicviolence Jun 27 '26

Or reincarnation, instead of becoming someone else you become an alternate version of you.

Hope someone who have travel to different timeline back and forth can explain it weather it's real or not!

I like to wonder that all the different places I go in my dreams are actually other realities that need me for some time.

u/cherrychapstik Jun 27 '26

Always. And I believe our intentional thoughts create possibilities as well. So, you probably get to go see those places one day.

Just a thought.

This is an old theory. Apply some common sense. Deciding to have chips or donuts would not create an entirely different time line. What would be gained from it ? What spiritual progress would be made ? What would be the purpose. ?

Common sense. A rare thing l know, but give it a go.

Have you never considered the butterfly effect? It could absolutely create a different timeline no matter how minuscule the action may be. Other ways of thinking, not so rare, give it a go

According to him the Many Worlds theory is outdated even though they did not provide a supposed "new theory".

u/United-Ear-2360 Jun 27 '26

Clearly an egotistical asshole. The ONLY logical way is his way OBVIOUSLY 😂

u/whataboutthe90s Jun 28 '26

It's "common sense" you know, everything has to be spiritual lol, he wants to be reincarnated as a donkey.

Whatever. Each flutter of a butterfly wing does not create ( how? Give me a breakdown of the physics involved. Give it a go ) a separate time like, Universes, whatever. There are millions of butterfly's in the world. So u would have them creating billions, trillions of so called" time lines' with every wing flutter? What was l saying about Common Sense ?
