>the probability of a world coming into existence exactly like our own is nonzero. If space and time are infinite, then it follows logically that our existence must recur an infinite number of times

If space and time are infinite, it also follows that there’s at least one universe where OP sucks my dick

Just because it's infinite why does that mean everything which we can imagine is real there at some place and time? I mean can't some, at least a lot, likely most, be non-existent anywhere except in our very imagination?

I don't understand. Why must I be sucking someone's dick in universe 3500000?

If there's infinite space and time then there must exist a reality where super saiyans exist and can destroy infinite amount of realities in a second

>> No.16484367

if the universe died, and were created the exact same way, all atoms, rain drops and bacterias would fall into the same place, and the entire history would repeat itself exactly like it happened before. we know nothing about the creation of the universe, but this might be how it happened.

Everything which has a non zero chance to happen.
If you imagine things which are impossible, they won't happen. On the whole, a variant that is close enough to you to be 'you' and has sucked dick is not that improbable. Maybe you were raped?

I am not this body.
A 100% identical body to mine won't be me, even if his brain influenced personality characteristics are identical to mine.
Just like that guy in the Prestige aren't his copies.

dude we dont even know what holds galaxies together without using gross correction factors like dark energy and dark matter, we literally know nothing

That's the question of identity.
Are we something beyond our totalled experiences + some sort of starting seed?
If in an x future universe, the world repeats itself exactly and you are born again - experiencing the same events, thinking the same thoughts... Etc... Are you both 'you'?
If yes, what if you are the same for twenty years and then diverge? Your copy being raped and in your universe they go for someone else. Is it still you after divergence?

imagine a light detector that turns on a light bulb when it detects light, now put it in front of a mirror and generate a spark in between.

there's no detection without perception, the self is the pupil of the soul, empty and silent, a womb.
