Do You Believe In Infinite Realities?

  1. A friend of mine said "what if every thought we have creates another reality?" Idk but this question just blew my fucking mind. Haha. What do you guys think?

  2. i think that suggests an incomplete understanding of what "question" and "reality" entails. not to insult, bit it seems like a shallow idea.
     
  3. Well it creates the perception of a different reality in the mind.
     
  4. Whaaaat never thought of that lmaoo

  5. My reality is different from every else's reality.
     
  6. Yes, I believe in the Infinite - and the Unseen proprietor of the infinite..

    Infinite points, and possibilites, panromically eternal.
     
  7. What if there is no reality at all?

    And everything just is, because it was always going to be. :cool:

    Yet, if you convince yourself of that... you, in fact, necessarily exist, and not what you perceive to be existent (or "non-existent"). ;)
    And everything just is, because it was always going to be.
     
    Yes, a great explanation... the world is so, because it is so. :p

    That argument has never made a lick of fuckin' sense to me.
     
    Theoretical shit aside...The idea that one idea is any less plausible than the other when attempting to explain something that hasn't, to this point, been explained does the idea absolutely no fuckin' good. :cool:

    Yes, to locate a mutually foundational ground for philosophical discourse is very important.
     
  11. My point is that you don't have one. :cool:
     
  12. Infinite realities that actually exist, no. Infinite possibilities in an infinite universe, yes. Anything is possible, but in order to know if your possibilities are correct, you need the evidence.
     
  13. Sounds like the multiverse theory (an infinite amount of universes for each and every possibility in infinity)

    It's sad you're inclined to assume that... for you very stance seems to provide one (for those who see it as such). :)
     
  15. I wonder if there's an alternate reality in which, whether or not there are infinite alternate realities (which we can't access or experience), is relevant.
     
    We're born, we live, we die. Do "alternate realities" (of any number) even matter?
     
    Feels like putting the cart before the horse: perhaps we should focus on navigating and refining this particular reality, prior to worrying about whether others exist.
     
    "This" is the only one that matters (from this current position). Should we find ourselves thrust into an alternate reality, that will be the one that matters.
     
    But, you know... at the universal scale, none of this matters. (unless you assume the existence of a post-"this" existence, in which you remain aware of whatever happened during "this"...)
     
    Maybe we should try harder to focus on questions that actually matter?
     
     
    Some people like to claim "anything is possible," but that's not actually true, because we can define many things which are indeed impossible (at least in this currently relevant reality), even if those things have previously occurred; many things can only happen Once. If you mean "possible" as in "it can happen once," then i suppose that's acceptable... but singular events are not the limit of "anything," and the occurrence of many events negate the possibility of other potentially possible events. "Anything can happen" would necessarily have to include the range from 0 to infinity.
     
    Can i spontaneously manifest 10k clones of myself by sheer force of will? No. "Anything" is indeed not possible. But among what is possible, there are incalculable possibilities, even with the removal of anything we can define as being impossible.
     
    Infinity minus a billion is still infinite (because while i was typing that, it just replenished and surpassed the subtracted billion! Or it already contained that...)
     
    Starting at zero (which is where we must begin: "something" had to come from "somewhere," and the only position smaller than the smallest quantum "something," is Zero, aka "nothing"), all calculable possibilities rapidly become exponentially innumerable, despite the preclusion of anything we can calculate cannot occur. So... "infinity" can't really exist "in the real world." It's just an idea invented in attempt to calculate the incalculable. :) (hey, humans trying to do what we can't do! typical...)
     
     
    Sidenote: "googolplex" is said to be a number larger than the maximum number of particles in the entire universe... i'm not sure how we can even begin to ascertain the validity of such a notion, since we really cannot calculate how many particles exist, or even can exist, in the entire universe.
     
    What i want to know is: how can matter (and/or energy) even exist? How can there be "nothing," and then "a singularity from nothing," and then "the whole universe?" What was before that? And before that?
     
    If you go back as far as the human mind is capable of pondering, we're left with a paradox: how can existence itself, even exist?
     
    And yet, here we are.
     
  16. I think that if the universe is infinite, it makes it hard to believe that the mind could ever come up with any idea, or question that cannot be true in some sense. If the universe truly has no end then how could it be that a mind the exists with in it could generate ideas that cannot be encapsulated by the infinite? To suggest that something is not possible seems to go against the infinite nature of the universe. It suggest the existence of boundaries that would dispel the infinite nature of the universe. I sometimes think that between the realm of the subjective and the objective anything at all could be true. It is up to the individual what aspects of infinite truth they choose to subscribe to.
     
  17. Damn that's actually pretty trippy but it depends on the thought
     
  18. Infinite random possibilities exist in every singular moment.
     
  19. Its getting annoying. There is only one universal objective reality and a infinite amount of subjective what ifs.
     
  20. General relativity is not relative.
