A man woke, Ned, up at 7:15. he then took a shower for ten minutes and was ready to leave for work by 7:40. As he walked out the door Jim realised he had forgotten his car keys and went back inside to look for them - this search cost him five minutes. He didn’t find the keys and as a result decided to take a taxi to work lest he be late for his first appointment.
Concurrently, a taxi driver loading up his passengers got irritable towards a woman with a foul attitude before he denied her access to his cab.
A woman, whom a taxi just left behind, reproached from the cabs abandon by a step and had, indoing so, reared into a man who was now cueing behind her. He reassured her that another taxi was on its way and that he was alright. He said his name was Ned. Their conversation progressed to a date. A date turned to a relationship which then led to the birth of Lucas. Lucas went to be a scientist, avid in the research of aids vaccines until the day he succeeded. Billions of people across the world got their lives back.
If Ned hadn’t forgotten his keys, or if the taxi drivers tolorence high enough, or if the woman kept her frustration to herself Ned would have never met her. Lucas would have not been born and a billion people would share a deathly fate.
Beyond the above illustration of the butterfly effect - the many worlds theory exists on the idea that whenever you make a decision, between say an apple or a banana, the path not taken still plays on in another universe. Beyond crap examples - a split occurs based on the possible outcome for each action. The process is called, decohesion. Now obviously the path you now tread allows little room for comprehension of the path not taken but that does not contend its existence and potential for an eternality of parallel consequence.
This can be seen with quantum suicide. In Russian Roulette: when a man pulls the trigger, with a revolver loaded with the number of bullets half the chambers’ maximum capacity and randomly inserted, two things can happen – a bullets either kills the man or it doesn’t. When the trigger is pulled, the universe splits to accommodate each possible outcome. There is the path where the man still has the gun to his head and another in which he is dead. If the gun does go off and the man dies, the universe is no longer able to split based on the pulling of the trigger. The possible outcome for death is reduced to one: continued death. But with life there are still two chances that remain: death or life.
When the man pulls the trigger and the universe is split in two, however, the version of the man who lived will be unaware that in the other version of the split universe. He has died.
Instead he will continue to live and will again have the chance to pull the trigger. And each time he does pull the trigger, the universe will again split, with the version of the man who lives continuing on, and being unaware of all of his deaths in parallel universes. In this sense, he will be able to exist indefinitely. This is called quantum immortality...
I really couldn’t possibly recall the thought pattern that got me here but ever since I reached this state of mind I can’t help but think that everything, even the most transcendent and beautiful things in life, once tainted even by the slightest of things, can lose all their charm.
