: First of all it has nothing to do with heights that was just an example. My
: theory is that 2 identical universes cannot coexist and as such will
: destroy themselves and everyone in them. As Forrest points out there are a
: near infinite number of permutations concerning where I killed my
: alternate, when I killed my alternate, whether I killed my alternate, etc.
: But even in the unimaginable vastness of possibilities there MUST exist at
: least one in which the universes are made identical, and this I believe
: would cause their collapse. I disagree with Forrest in the sense of two
: converging (time)lines can diverge again and still remain stable. In all
: of the theories that describe universal structure, what is the one thing
: that cannot remain static? The answer is symmetry. Nature (of the Earth,
: of ideas, of the Universe) tends to favor asymetry. I believe that the
: universe (as a whole) NEEDS asymmetry, it cannot have identical
: sub-universes or timelines within it, as such in any hypothetical scenario
: where 2 universes would become identical, they would try to separate
: themselves, or diverge. This is simply not possible. Try super-glueing two
: pieces of paper together, then try and pull them apart. You can't without
: tearing both sheets. Furthermore, lets say, for the sake of discussion
: that 2 universes could coexist in symmetry or be identical, if this could
: happen it would mean that existence is infinite, and this cannot be. As
: the theory stands you can have every possibility, and every permutation of
: every event ever, but you still have limits. Even though the sum of all
: those possibilities is unimaginably large it is only near-infinite, NOT
: infinite. If you could have identical universes then there would indeed be
: a literally endless amount and existence would have to be infinite. As I
: said before, this cannot be because nonexistence (void,chaos,etc.) has to
: lie outside existence. Quite simply, without nonexistence there could be
: no existence, no reality.
Oops! Posted twice... Must have been an alternate me, better go kill him. :)
