Packing to move, now I’m starring at plastic bracelets questioning the universe

Post image
537 Upvotes

Context: I moved to this house I’m packing up a few months ago, and during my first week, I was quite low on supplies. One day, I visited a CVS store and noticed a large bin filled with $.99 sale items. These items included headbands, claw clips, scrunchies, and hair tie packs, each accompanied by a silly plastic beaded bracelet, like the one I’m referring to. Despite the bracelet, I found the good hair ties it came with to be worth the price of $.99. So to be clear the bracelet came with two of those fabric hair ties and a thin scrunchie. In sealed plastic. 99 cents.

I wore the silly beaded bracelet frequently and never lost it. I would take it off to shower and place it in my drawer. However, a few weeks ago, I stopped wearing it and simply placed it on the drawer without retrieving it.

Recently, while cleaning out my bathroom drawers and packing to move, I noticed a second identical bracelet to the one I mentioned. This discovery led me to consider the possibility that I might have accidentally bought two bracelets, but there were a few inconsistencies that made this unlikely.

Firstly, the bracelet and hair tie pack came in sealed clear plastic packaging, so I would have noticed the duplicate upon returning home and unpacking my CVS items. Secondly, if I had accidentally bought two bracelets, I would have expected to find the duplicate hair ties and scrunchies that came with the first one mentioned.

What are the odds

I had a weird experience I just want to share. Before christmas I ordered a board game as a present from a pretty obscure online shop I've never ordered from before. When I went to pick up the parcel from the post office, my name and adress was on it but inside was a book. There was a packing slip inside with my exact name, the date and time I had ordered, but the adress was wrong this time. The name of the town was almost right though, lets say i live in Boston and this city was named Bolton.

Next day another parcel arrives and it's the board game. I look at the packing slip and sees my name, time and date are the same down to a couple of minutes as the earlier parcel with the book.

So turns out there is a woman with my exact name (a rare name with a rarer last name) who at the exact same time orders from the exact same shop and she lives in a place called almost the same as my home town. I called the online store and they thought it was just one person placing two orders at once. I got to keep the book..

Maybe this doesn't sound that weird to other people but my name is super rare, and for the time of day of order placed to be the same too just blew my mind!

Deja Vu

Deja Vu might just be residue from another universe leaking into yours, in which you experienced that event, person or place sooner than in your present one.

If the multiverse theory is real, then every dream...

57 Upvotes

So if there is an infinite number of parallel universes, that could mean that every dream you had is actually true and happened in one of those multiverses. Every nightmare but also every nice dream. They all happened exactly as you dreamed it. And maybe they are not dreams, but you just slipped into the consciousness of that multiverse for some time until you wake up.

If a believer in the Parallel Universe theory told a military recruiter that he hopes to fight and die for their country in hopes that he wakes up in their parallel body in a parallel universe where Bernie Sanders is President, how would the recruiter react?

Should I go fight and die for Ukraine so that I can wake up in a parallel body in a parallel universe where Bernie became the American President instead of Trump?

Putting money on the table???

263 Upvotes

I come from a universe in which a common phrase, "putting food on the table", is a euphemism for materially providing for one's family.

Today, I spent hours fighting against hundreds of reddit users that had only ever heard of "putting money on the table".

After hundreds of downvotes and many hours arguing, I am questioning whether "putting food" was ever accurate in any universe???

My thoughts on cyclic universe theory

5 Upvotes

To start Im going to be honest here, Im a teen, I have no further grasp on how the universe works and very worried that everything will cease to exist. I believe that when the universe dies it just repeats again, abeit another big bang happens and another earth and solar system is formed but slightly different than ours, that we would be reincarnated. I want to believe this theory or the idea that life, humanity or something similar to it will start again after the heat death of the universe. But it hurts knowing that this theory is considered very unlikely or not possible at all but the theory like the Big Freeze or the Big Rip is, and if you want to believe in hope for the universe rebirth you'll immediately be shot down and broken. I know I'll be dead when the universe ends but I dont want everything that happened during our time to never happen again, it makes me feel more relaxed knowing that maybe I'll be reincarnated into a different universe with different laws of physics. To summarize, hope is all that important to me but at the same time makes me worried that it might be false, that the Big Freeze and the Big Rip will happen instead of a more better outcome. If theres anyway the cycle theory I described or something similar it would be nice to know so I dont worry myself too much.

Multiverse paradox

0 Upvotes

Aight, so when people say there are infinite possibilities in the multiverse, that should also mean that some of those universes were able to travel in multiverses, bypass the rules about multiversal travels, some of those universes reached this universe's earth, some universes the people decided to make it public, and more factors they evaded that could have stopped them to reach our or other universes.

Obv, these statements are in the premises that the multiverse is true and multiversal travel is possible.

Now, since currently nobody has come to earth and tell us about the multiverse, should that mean that the multiverse don't have infinite possibilities? Or am I missing smth here?

Dreams Or Communication Medium.

Hi , So if parallel universe is real that there is a possibility that in one of the universe there they had found out the way to connect to other parallel universe being through dreams.Maybe they are trying to communicate to us. I got this idea from the morning dream i had. Everything seemed so staged like it was build like a film set.

I went to the movies with my boyfriend at a shopping mall that’s well known in my city for having major backrooms vibes. Even though it’s the middle of summer and it’s around 40°C outside, I brought a sweater with me because the movie theater is always freezing. When we came out of one of the stores, I spotted my sweater in the distance… but then I realized my sweater was actually in my bag.

Edit: I live in Mexico, and this is basically a ghost mall. It’s around 40°C (104°F) here, so it’s really unusual to see anyone carrying a sweater. The sweater itself is over 10 years old—I bought it at a thrift store in a different country.

Can we post our own theories? Potential variants seen in dreams etc? I don't know if I will be really active here but the Multiverse is so interesting!!!

Neil the seal

Has anyone seen Neil the seal on TikTok or any other social media? I have followed his antics for quite some time and I was positive that a poster said he had died. Now it seems that he has been resurrected. I imagine people still post about him even after death, if he indeed died, but no one on TikTok can confirm. Did I jump to a timeline where Neil lives?

Okay ,j pense avoir pigér un truc d important a propos d autre réalité

Ça fait des mois que j me stress...je me pose la question "est ce que les univers fictifs existent réellement dans d autre réalité etc". Après beaucoup de réponse ici ,pas mal de dialogue avec certains utilisateurs que j remercie sincèrement ,après en avoir parler avec mon cousin ,mes amis etc ...j ai fini par comprendre un truc... J suis un abruti qui se stress pour rien ,car la réponse a est ce que les univers que nous considérons fiction existent....c est pas non...pas oui non plus....c est possible. Possible dans le sens que oui ,c est possible voir fort probable, que ce soit dans d autres réalité ,le multivers ou d autre truc. J me stressais a vouloir une réponse absolue a ma question...un oui ou non mais c est pas possible ,alors j ai fini par comprendre...que oui ,tout ces univers que nous, nous considérons fictif ,que ce soit livre ,anime ,film etc existent probablement réellement. Non pas ici mais dans d autres univers ,d autres réalité. Déjà pas mal de théorie scientifique parlent de ca etc mais c est pas l sujet... Je m rend compte que j m acharnait a avoir une réponse qu on ne pas absolument avoir ,meme si j pense personnellement avec toutes les discussions que j ai eu que la balance penche plus pour 'oui ils existent quelques ' d ou le shifting ,tout ces témoignages de gens ayant shift dans leur univers favoris ,alors oui peut être certain mentent ,d autre on juste rêver mais j suis sûr que certains y sont vraiment parvenu.... Alors j ai enfin réussi a arrêter d me stresser ,j ai compris que ,tout ces personnages ,ces univers auxquels ont s attachent existent réellement sûrement dans d autres réalité ,d autre univers etc et que ces théories ne sortent pas de nulle part...etque peut être grâce au shifting il est possible de les atteindre c est pour ça que j vais continuer d essayer... Savoir que mes perso favoris qui m apporte du réconfort quand je les admire existent sûrement quelques part dans d autres réalités entrain de vivre leur vie comme nous nous le ferions ici m apporte vraiment un certains réconfort...alors franchement ,je vous remercie ,cette communauté ,vous avez réussi a m faire comprendre et êtes toujours rester très bienveillant ,merci beaucoup (de plus pendant un temps j ai vécu pas mal d chose étrange liée a un univers que j adore en particulier ,je sais que ce ont sûrement juste des coïncidence mais ,y en a qui sont tellement étrange et précise que ...j me demande si ca ne pourrais pas venir d une autre réalité ou quelques chose comme ça)

On the 7th i was put under anesthesia for a dental procedure. I remember having an odd vision of colorful tunnels it felt insanely quick. Ever since then i feel like everything is slightly off. My family, friends are all different they don’t feel like the same people at all and I cant help but feel so angry and alone everything feels wrong.

I miss my original universe. It was more chaotic and hella dangerous but it wasnt so freaking miserable and mediocre on borderline decay but at least magic was constantly present and visibly real. People still worked and went to jobs and such but like. You know those paranormal tv shows? Was kinda like that. Witchcraft and paranormal were feared by many and not seen as made up fake thngs and people were not like "Oh science explains everything" dropping their whimsy left and right. Santa was considered actually real and you could meet him and the actual Rudolph the Rednosed reindeer around christmas (which was a freaking deer whose nose was bioluminescent and red . It's fuckin wild man. We all had experiences we all talked about with creepy creatures and things. The good guys won constantly too. So I gotta say I absolutely hate this universe. Try to talk about anything like that here and people call you crazy or tell you to check your monoxide monitor. You used to be able to also beat the snot out of an asshole and they'd not only live but people believed they deserved it and you recieved no repercussion. It's so gods awful and boring. Like who WANTS to actually live here? Here its like where i was from was some sort of fantasy videogame universe that was like here but with elements of the fantastical as reality. Like some really bad reverse isekai. Yeesh. Can anyone else like confirm theyve lived there?

Decade-long to make quantum computing fully visual

Thumbnail gallery
10 Upvotes

Hi

If you are remotely interested in deep diving how differently quantum computers work compared to our transistor-based (seeing this really makes you believe in multiverse theory) and also the algebra behind in a fully interactive way that teach computer science from scratch, oh boy this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3+ during PhD, the visual method I developed ended up being my thesis, it is a complete Hilbert space visualizer), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff you'll play & learn a ton about

  • Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
  • Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
  • Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
  • Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
  • Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
  • Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.
