GottaBigOne said:It's ridiculous because it ignores a really obvious fact: There is only one reality!
There can not be an "infinite amount of possibilities of universe outcomes" existing at the same "time" because the universe IS only one thing and it can not be anything else, and "other possible futures" DO NOT EXIST yet! so when you make it to one future there aren't any other presents that could have been and are in other dimensions or universes.
Also, this whole talk about 2 dimensional creatures is a total waste of time and mental energy. 2 dimensional creatures can not exist, there can not BE anything that has height and width but no depth, it is utterly ridiculous to talk about anything existing outside of the three spatial dimensions and time.
First off I'll deal with your views on 2 dimensions. Two. Words.
Mobius. Strip. How can something in a three dimensional plane have one edge and one side? Hmmm??? It can't. Technically the Mobius strip is actually a three dimensional representation of a two dimensional shape.
Next, I don't believe it ever said that there was more than one reality. It said the different POSSIBILITIES. If you're going to kvetch on pointlessly, don't put words in the mouths of others. Danke.
Finally:
About your "one universe" this, "can't happen" that, I wonder if you've ever thought about it on a smaller scale, hmm? Are there not several different different ways you could play a single shot in a game of billiards? Unless you're snookered, yes. Now, aren't there an almost infinite different number possible game time-lines? You're not going to get the same game twice in a row! When you're playing pool, are you not playing through the shot in your mind to see how best to play it? That's a realization of different possibilities! You're examining the possible outcomes and deciding which one you like best.
Now, I hope that you're done being all farklempt because I'm pretty sure I've had enough giving out grossly simplified quantum physics lessons for the day.
As ever,
