    mankind is definitely too vain, or rather particular and dominant cultures and beliefs are,
    to see species human as the whole and enter reason for the rest of the universe to exist, for its own existence to be possible.

    lol. nice thing about the universe. it doesn't care about worthy. it just does what it does how it does it.

    i think the problem with saying what a lumpy universe makes possible is counter-intuitive,
    is that random accidentental accumulaion perspective is the principal bases when it comes to saying what is intuitive and what isn't.

    personally i have no discomfort with the possibilities of quantum and parallel universes.

    Maybe we do live our lives over and over from birth to death. Is it a constant cycle? We are said to be the memories that we experience.

    It does feel that way sometimes.
    But, I will find some more evidence on this - Only theories, as none of us know.

    There is a significant distinction to be made between pseudoscience, arriving at conclusions without accumulating evidence/rigorous testing and speculative interpretations of evidence, theoretically Many Worlds would fall into the latter. (Although I certainly understand how setting up tests for such speculation is problematic) In that same article you linked this is said about quantum mechanics:

    The Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment, where a cat stuck in a box with radioactive material and can be in a quantum state both alive and dead simultaneously, makes these ideas slightly more intuitive for me. The current mainstream view would be that some observation, whether that be from like a device in the box measuring the radioactive decay or some less accepted implications of that such as a conscious person, is required to collapse the quantum effects and cast the cat into a definitive state. I believe Many Worlds suggests that the collapse of the quantum effects is in effect illusory and both states of the cat persist but the world branches off with one world where the cat lives and another it dies.

    Based on his appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, what I've gathered from Carroll is that the underpinnings of Quantum Mechanics are at present fundamentally mysterious, a black box, yet it's applied functionality is incredibly reliable and that's where a lot of physicists are content at understanding Quantum Mechanics, while Carroll would like to urge physicists to explore further. An analogy he gave was that it is similar to way that most of us use our smart phones or computers, we perform a bunch of different activities on them without necessarily needing to understand how CPU, ALU, networks etc. work to accomplish this.

    i'd rather not. i was once stuck in a chronic hysterisis loup like that and did everything i could to break out of it, and since i'm now older, a lot older, then 23 or 26, which had been the end point of the loop, i'm pretty sure i succeeded in breaking out of it. i mean there was an old movie, that i think its creators thought that would be a great idea for how the universe to be, but i for one, found that concept unpleasant. and if you think about it, you know, that's what people want you to think who imagine that get something out of people seeing their universe as narrower then it is, that would suit a lot of things that just aren't at all right, that kind of like to pretend to be.

    This is déjà vu. The judges owe us all a break.
