Re: history, destiny, and space
i've been contemplating on that as well. if i hop out of bed in the morning with my left foot on the floor first, will my day be different than if i hop out with my right foot first?
there was an article somewhere about the discovery of parallel universe using laser beam interference. i don't remember what the link is but i will try to look for it and link everyone. =)
it was a really cool article.
there's a book by alan lightman, a physicist, called "einstein's dreams," which was a personal favorite of mine, and still is. he talks about different ideas on time. one of them talks about a world where time splits in three orthogonal directions, just like space. so everytime one is faced with a dilemma, his world splits into three. it's the chapter "19 april 1905," so if you ever see the book in a bookstore, try checking out that one. the closing statement was a good one:
"some make light of decisions, arguing that all possible decisions will occur. in such a world, how could one be responsible for his actions? others hold that each decision must be considered and committed to, that without commitment there is chaos. such people are content to live in contradictory worlds, so long as they know the reason for each."
if you like fantasizing and thinking about weird things like that, i suggest you try the book. ISBN 0446670111.
