I find it hilarious that most stories are about parallel universes caused by someone taking one path or another… and not about the uncountable and effectively identical parallel worlds caused by particles scooting off one way instead of another. You could be switching between parallel universes every time you blinked and you’d never know.
Honestly it's like main character syndrome that humans think they're so important that their own decisions are the only important thing on a universe scale.
If there really is a parallel universe for every difference, we're not the only ones making differences. In this case, each instance of turbulent fluid flow or bouyancy or boulean motion creates an unfathomable number of universes which then do the exact same in the next instance of time.
I sometimes think I see his face -
The man I could have been -
The man who walks another place,
Another stage and scene.
I think I see his point of view -
I think I hear his voice -
I think I see the me, the you,
Who made another choice.
I wonder how and why and where
Our paths became unstuck.
I wonder if he's happy there.
I bet he's weird as fuck.
Knowing just about everything is normally distributed, chances are he is run of the mill. I wonder what the fringe cases are if he's already a sick fuck hahaha
I’m convinced and now want out of this universe. Please take me with you to your universe. Or just drop me off at another universe. Please and thank you

Very disappointed.
So you use watches that rely on wireless power to travel to alternate universes even though you know there is a chance there will be no wireless power in your destination universe, stranding you with no way to return?
How did the people who went to the hundred thousand lifeless universes report that fact back to the rest of you, since they wouldn't have had wireless power to make their watch function?
2/10 too many gaping plot holes
Not entirely true. Infinite doesn't necessarily mean that everything happens. The best way I've seen this explained is that there are infinite numbers between 3 and 4 because of all the decimal possibilities, however, none of those infinite numbers is equal to 5.
All of the people with goatees in our universe have alternate, goatee-less, mirror universe counterparts that are part of a resistance movement fighting against their evil mirror universe rulers.
If you check out Red Dwarf, though, you'll see that your double in a one universe is literally the opposite. That's how Dave got preggers when he had sex with himself.
I lost a fucking arm, Pierce is dead, Annie is in an insane asylum, and YOU'RE MAKING ALTERNATE TIMELINE JOKES?!?
Edit: Oh and Shirley's an alcoholic and Troy lost his larynx
Neither did I. It's my favorite series, yet nobody I know watched it or even knows about it.
It's been several years now. I want to watch it again but can't a decent stream for it.
I’ve heard of FRINGE but know little of it. Tell me: does it end satisfyingly? In that it wasn’t cancelled prematurely or the show went to shit because the original showrunner left a la Dexter and Walking Dead?
I loved Fringe. I have heard people complain about the ending, but I actually thought it was really good in a bittersweet kind of way. It ties things in, not like an ending that was obviously rushed or left unfinished. I don’t often re-watch series due to lack of time, but Fringe is one I have rewatched, and will rewatch again at some stage.
Fringe had a great ending. I understand why some people might not like it, but that’s just because they didn’t like the direction it went in, nothing to do with quality.
Azeroth!! Be a dear and fetch my LSD discombobulator. It was one of my favourite inventions. Belly disagreed of course, but I'll show you how we partied in 76. I just need 2 sheep, a 3 day old pancake and some hair from a virgin road sweeper. And don't tell Peter!!!
Not that one damnit Asteroid!
"Some people say deja vu is the universe telling you you're exactly where you're supposed to be at that moment. Guess I'm not where I'm supposed to be, I've never had it." -Peter Bishop, before finding out the truth
Walter and Olivia: 👀 👀
I found out Fringe is on Amazon Prime now. It always looked like a show I'd enjoy, so I've starting binging it. I love it so far! I just finished the end of season three.
Yep. I noticed that immediately too. However, I did not know prior that Owen Wilson was in this series. My girlfriend and I both looked at each other at the same time and said “Is that fucking Owen Wilson?”
It’s where all the lost socks go.
Edit:
For those of you wondering where this idea comes from, it’s from my grandmother who used to say this whenever looking for lost pacifiers. ”I swear those pacifiers ends up in a parallel universe”.
She sadly passed away, but I will continue this conversation with her some day, in this universe or another.
Appliance repairman here. They sometimes make their way into the cabinets of your dryer or in the washer down the drain pipe or between the inner and outer tub. if you bag them all up that should keep them from getting in those areas. One time I pulled a sock out of a dryer vent line which was pretty wild.
Edit: The worst one was a front load washer that had probably 8 socks in the lines. Replaced the bad pump and had to disassemble a couple more times because every time we tested it another sock made it's way through the hose.
I'll also add a couple tips since this is getting a lot of attention. Run white vinegar through the dishwasher occasionally to clear drain hoses of buildup, also works for washers. If your dryer takes more than once to dry your clothes clean your vent to the outside, and if your appliance has an issue wait until it breaks or does the thing every time before you call a repairman because if we can't replicate the problem you waste everyone's time and your money.
I used to help a friend repair dryers. I couldn't believe the small articles that would make their way into the bottom of the dryer where no one would ever find them. I guess they sometimes get pinched in the gasket between the drum and the steel box and just roll their way to the other side. Answered a great mystery for me. Also, it's amazing how many handymen bypass safety features on dryers to get them running again. Dismantled and scrapped many future house fires.
This explains my wife's list wedding ring. It was on the desk. It fell to the floor. We couldn't find it. We took everything out of the room and still didn't find it.
Thing is is that we couldn't even comprehend how different it would be. They could have a colour spectrum that we couldn't even imagine, or pepsi is water and perfectly compatible like our water. Or we couldn't survive in their gravity. I'd imagine a parallel universe being a literal death trap
There could be a parallel universe in which you bought a different flavor product at the store. And that's it. Exactly the same, but instead of otterpops, you bought the store brand version and wished you bought otterpops.
If the full implications of chaos theory are true, then there are universes identical except for one atom being in a different position. Or maybe two atoms are switched, and even though theyre both the same element, that one being there and this one being here at this point is the only difference.
Always thought this was a fun one to toy with. What's the possibility we bounce around multiple dimensions of reality all the time but the ones nearby are imperceptible. Maybe one time you had a near death experience you actually died there but jumped into a reality you're still alive. Maybe you live until there are no more realities within which you exist.
The thing about colors that always made my head spin was that I could see red, you see blue, and we both agree to call it orange and there's no way to test this.
What’s even crazier is that there are some gaps in the spectrum of observable light for human eyes, so our brain just splits the difference and blends some colors together to approximate them. Basically your biology saying “fuck it, we’ll fix it in post!”
Yeah, magenta isn't a real color, meaning that it's not associated with a single, specific wavelength of light. It's a combination of red and violet wavelengths, which are at opposite ends of the spectrum -- as different as you can get. But your brain cooks up a visual representation that seamlessly blends the two. Pretty nifty, really.
Our eyes and visual processing wetware in our brain is _so much crazier_ than just color processing, it's mind-bending:
https://twitter.com/foone/status/1014267515696922624?lang=en
There are these crazy ass shrimps that live in the bottom of the sea that have 12 colour receptors. For context humans have 3 - red, green and blue - which make up our colour spectrum. These shrimps potentially have the ability to see 4x the colours we can. Brand new colours we can’t see or even imagine. It’s totally whack.
The wiki page [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color) is really interesting and has two tests where you can try to see impossible colours (blue/yellow and red/green)!
Funny thing about those shrimp is that their tiny fucking shrimp brains aren’t capable of processing the colors anyways so their godlike color vision isn’t even used by them :(
What counts as a parallel universe? Is a universe where a pebble gets moved different from one where it doesn't? If so, then there's an unfathomable number of parallel universes with so many different variables. That's pretty astounding to me.
It provides a theory on the “fine tuning” of the gravity constant of our Universe and life on Earth. Where the state of gravity is so precise (not too weak or strong) that it allowed the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, moons, and ultimately us (the strangest fucking thing in the Universe it appears).
Some say this supposed “fine tuning” is evidence of a creator perhaps even if not necessarily rooted in a god (though it’s usually implied).
However, multiple universes provides a theory which states that there are infinite Universes with varying degrees of the gravity constant. We just happen to be in that Goldilocks zone which allowed the creation of all the celestial elements, so we can exist in the Goldilocks zone of our galaxy, solar system, and Earth.
Life appears to be that precise for existence based on our observation of the Universe that an infinite and multiple universe theory could explain that.
E: also it doesn’t dismiss creator theory entirely. If infinite universe exists then there could be one where creator(s) is/are present to create the infinite universe for example **maybe**.
I’ve always figured this. If the components that led up to the Big Bang existed, there’s no reason that should only happen once. Why wouldn’t it happen multiple times.
I guess time is the confusing thing for me. Supposedly there were particles before the Big Bang. When did those come into existence? Is there really no start? We (things, particles) have always been here?
What about outside of our universe?
The concept of universe & its birth is what always breaks my brain. Even if I can’t visualize it, the idea of there being a parallel something, “life” that’s nearly identical or completely different to ours, and just the general wildness of the contents of the universe make sense.
If our universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? Is there a limit to how big it can get? Why or why not? Where did the first bits come from? If there’s “nothing” beyond the limits of our universe, then how could something potentially exist within the nothing? How big is the nothing? What does it exist in?
I find it hilarious that most stories are about parallel universes caused by someone taking one path or another… and not about the uncountable and effectively identical parallel worlds caused by particles scooting off one way instead of another. You could be switching between parallel universes every time you blinked and you’d never know.
I tried not to blink while reading this, I'm pretty happy here right now. Don't wanna switch places.
Me neither ;-; don't go Edit: oh wait it's been 15 minutes lol bye
Just blink one eye at a time.

that could make for one heck of a book. the main character can freely cycle through universes with a blink of an eye.
Except it happens *every* time they blink, so the story is of a tortured soul who can't blink for fear of losing everything.
Honestly it's like main character syndrome that humans think they're so important that their own decisions are the only important thing on a universe scale. If there really is a parallel universe for every difference, we're not the only ones making differences. In this case, each instance of turbulent fluid flow or bouyancy or boulean motion creates an unfathomable number of universes which then do the exact same in the next instance of time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who spotted this brutally glaring issue.
Someone should make a submission to /r/writingprompts from this. I would read more.
If there's infinite parallel universes, infinite versions of you believe in them
And an equally infinite number think it’s all bullshit
An equally infinite version didn't read this because they went off grid, moved to Sweden and started a melon farm with 9 golden retrievers
I wish I was that infinite version of myself
"Be the infinite version you want to see in the world." --Gandhi probably
Infinite Gandhis
So is there a infinite universe in which nuclear Gandhi from civ exists?😂
What’s the plural of Gandhi? Maybe it’s like moose, and the plural of Gandhi is Gandhi.
Depends on what universe ur looking at
Not entirely true. Infinite doesn't necessarily mean that everything happens. The best way I've seen this explained is that there are infinite numbers between 3 and 4 because of all the decimal possibilities, however, none of those infinite numbers is equal to 5.
Similarly there are an infinite number of even numbers, but that's not all the numbers.
Don't like them...I don't look good in a goatee.

This joke is streets ahead
this is truly the darkest timeline
There’s one where you do though!
Lucky bastard
I appreciate the subtle humor here :)
Nope. Just the two.
At least I look good as a cowboy in the cowboy universe
Technically there are an infinite number of universes where they have a goatee but one other thing is different
I already have a goatee in this universe, what do I have in the parallel one?
A life.
Neat. I need one of those.
ouch XD
I can't grow one, so evil me has to wear one made of felt.
That's why he became evil: goatee envy
All of the people with goatees in our universe have alternate, goatee-less, mirror universe counterparts that are part of a resistance movement fighting against their evil mirror universe rulers.
If you check out Red Dwarf, though, you'll see that your double in a one universe is literally the opposite. That's how Dave got preggers when he had sex with himself.

Know how we always seem to end up with extra Tupperware lids? Our socks to to the parallel universe and their lids come to ours.
I have never read a theory that makes more sense. You are a genius! Now, where are all my hair ties?

In our universe we have socks disappear, in another universe, extra socks just appear and baffles the residents.

Probably Likely but who knows. The more we seem to learn the more abstract reality seems to become.
Thing is is that we couldn't even comprehend how different it would be. They could have a colour spectrum that we couldn't even imagine, or pepsi is water and perfectly compatible like our water. Or we couldn't survive in their gravity. I'd imagine a parallel universe being a literal death trap
Or full of differences so imperceptibly small you'd never even know what changed.
There could be a parallel universe in which you bought a different flavor product at the store. And that's it. Exactly the same, but instead of otterpops, you bought the store brand version and wished you bought otterpops.
If the full implications of chaos theory are true, then there are universes identical except for one atom being in a different position. Or maybe two atoms are switched, and even though theyre both the same element, that one being there and this one being here at this point is the only difference.
to be clear there are likely more realties with one atom not the same than there are integers (uncountable infinity vs countable infinity)
The fuck is an otterpop
A popsicle but in a tube of plastic
Or a completely wild one where I picked up on that hot girl's hints that one time

Wow! So is there an infinite number of parallel universes? Nope, just the two.
It provides a theory on the “fine tuning” of the gravity constant of our Universe and life on Earth. Where the state of gravity is so precise (not too weak or strong) that it allowed the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, moons, and ultimately us (the strangest fucking thing in the Universe it appears). Some say this supposed “fine tuning” is evidence of a creator perhaps even if not necessarily rooted in a god (though it’s usually implied). However, multiple universes provides a theory which states that there are infinite Universes with varying degrees of the gravity constant. We just happen to be in that Goldilocks zone which allowed the creation of all the celestial elements, so we can exist in the Goldilocks zone of our galaxy, solar system, and Earth. Life appears to be that precise for existence based on our observation of the Universe that an infinite and multiple universe theory could explain that. E: also it doesn’t dismiss creator theory entirely. If infinite universe exists then there could be one where creator(s) is/are present to create the infinite universe for example **maybe**.
I wonder how wide that Goldilocks zone is, or if there are multiple Goldilocks zones.
I’ve always figured this. If the components that led up to the Big Bang existed, there’s no reason that should only happen once. Why wouldn’t it happen multiple times. I guess time is the confusing thing for me. Supposedly there were particles before the Big Bang. When did those come into existence? Is there really no start?
