Does the Multi-Universe...

  1. thoery apply to animals?
    they make choices.
    i was watching a show about quantum physics and they were discussing multi-verses and how every choice we make would branch off to an alternate universe.
    would this apply to animals?
    they are living beings on our planet.
    im drunk and pretty high so please forgive, i was just wondering :eek:
     
  2. i don't think that this theory is based off human decisions. i think it means that there is a different universe in which quantum particles behave differently. thus, there could be another universe where you make a different decision, but the fact that you made a different decision was a result of the previous change rather than the cause. this makes more sense to me as it doesn't imply that humans are the so called "centers of the universe". we're just stuff like everything else.
     
  3. ^^ couldn't have said it better myself.
     
  4. Science is a mystery
     
  5. thank you :)

    thats kind of what i was thinking.
    we're pretty much an advanced species of animals that have a grasp on our surroundings (for the most part).
    but nonetheless, does it apply to more primal beings?
     
  6. yeah, according to this theory, there are universes in which animals do different things. but again, they're arbitrary rather than being created by the animal's "free will". as far as i know, free will is just a very convincing illusion and doesn't have any effect on quantum physics or alternate universes.

    The thing is not only does this apply to humans and animals, but this theory applies to all matter. So even a rock obeys this. The rock may not be making decisions, but it still has alternate paths it could take i.e. a rock on the side of a mountain could fall down it in one universe, or stay put in its location.

    This makes me think of all the molecular reactions in a cell, and how their actions and motions can vary on such small scales, yet still different actions to give rise to many alternate universes.
     
  8. the multiverse theory isnt hard to understand. and it has nothing to do with free will.

    it simply states that if there universe were indeed infinite, then things have to repete themselves. there would be another you somewhere typing on another this forum ext.

    it wouldnt really be you, just another star with exactly the same everything as the sun, that produced exact coppies of us.

    in other words, if something is possible in an infinite relm, it can happen more than once.
     
  9. this is true, depressing as it may be to think about, free will is an illusion.

    but if you think about it, there is only 3 ways our brain can work.

    either its a complex reaction that is fine tuned and set in stone based on everyhting
    or its 100% random
    or some combination

    either way, random means no free will, because you are just as likley to do anything regardless of what you want.
    science means no free will, because your a slave to your experience

    no matter how you look at it, the very word freedom doesnt really exist.

    how i like to reconcile this dilema is that im still the same after knowing this. explaining how a machine works doesnt change what it is. im still a human who enjoys life
     
  10. I'm pretty sure the multiverse is pretty much infinite universes to the infinite power in which everything that could ever possibly happen (or not happen) does in every universe except each one is only different by one chance occurence, but that chance occurence could happen at any point which then creates the new universes in which after that time does a combination of everything that could possibly ever happen and everything staying the same. Or something. So yes animals count too
     
  11. thanks to everyone :)
     
  12. and religion is fiction.
    God is a narrator of the universe, think about it narrators help you understand the story, if you believe god is their to help explain the universe, than god is in essence the narrator of the universe :bongin:
     
  13. We're all animals.. Just because we don't understand them doesn't mean they don't have 'free will'. If you took a vacation to China would you have a clue what the fuck they were saying?
     
  14. Quantum physics tells us that the subatomic particles that make up our world are collapsed from waves of probabilities simply by the act of observation. The 5th dimension is made up of infinite probabilities that are collapsed by our observation into the 4th dimension that we perceive as time.
     
  15. lol
    your silly
