That would be a major component of what's called the "Many Worlds Interpretation" of Quantum Mechanics, which is one of the less popular theories in the Multiverse family of thoughts.

Well, the thing that I absolutely adore about Quantum Mechanics is that it tends to completely go against everything that we think we know about the universe and reality itself. It's what originally got me into Quantum Mechanics.

Right? What I absolutely adore about Quantum Mechanics is that it's so befuddling. The concepts were originally introduced to me in a passing conversation I had with someone in middle school after a lesson about Albert Einstein. That summer, I read about how the age of the universe was calculated from some old library book. Since then, I have taken courses on the subject, read dozens of books, every Scientific American from middle school to Junior Year of High School, hundreds of papers, and hundreds of 'internet posts' about various aspects of QM: and it still makes no sense. Instead of coming to an intuitive understanding, when I think about the implications my understanding of my own knowledge changes.

i find the idea of just how small humanity is compared to the rest of the universe amazing. it's one thing to say that the universe is 14 billion years old or that Voyager 1 is currently the furthest man-made object from Earth and the first to enter interstellar space, but stuff like Scale of the Universe, Scale of the Universe 2, the short film Powers of 10 really do a great job explaining just how enormous the universe is.

Seeing as how I'm such a huge fan of movies, I would say that.

Of course, you could also interest me by finding out amazing facts and I'm not just going to say on the Internet, but BOOKS, yes, I've read those too.

Life.

I know this might be overdone and it probably is, but you gotta admit, life is the most mysterious and bizarre thing imaginable. I don't know who wouldn't be amazed by the enigmas of life itself.

If you got a job or a hobby that didn't include being a nuisance online and smoking weed, I think you'd feel a lot better.

You realize the admins and mods barely even notice that you're doing this, right? They delete your accounts and threads with just five clicks… and there are dozens of them. They're wasting far more of your time than you're wasting of theirs.

Stop fronting. You and I both know why you're doing this.

You remind me of Nae, you guys should hook up, I think you would make a good match.

It's time for you to loose your virginity miles.

Yeah, I probably do. We both realized how incredibly shitty you must feel if you need to pretend to be some kind of "hacker genius" on Newgrounds for about a year (or was it longer than that?) and never talk straight. I don't know exactly what set you off originally, but it is really worth wasting that much of your time?

The daily violations of common sense achieved by our species; the amazement comes from the fact I get to hear about it.


Just passing through.
