One instance , you died

The other, you live

You mean parallel universes/multiverses?

That might be the case

Well the others, not sure

@Silent Massacre thats not what i meant

It's also highly possible that we're in a simulation. The chances of us being in the highest level are slim compared to in a lower level nested simulation

Define higher and lower level simulations.

See it like a pyramid. One is base reality right? Below that you might have realities created by that base reality in a simulation. Those simulations can have even deeper simulations until near infinity.

Assuming each simulation is highly realistic, you would never know how deep you are.

Would it be a far-off concept that all matter is simply highly-complex strings of quantum data

I love this type of discussion

@Silent Massacre That is not that weird. Our representation of the world is a fabrication of our brain. We just perceive the data and transform it to something that makes sense to us. It's the same as what you might find in a hidden layer of a neural network

I wonder what would happen if the Greek philosophers had our current technology.

They would wage war on the thots

xD

This is what a neural network generates internally (this is random). It might be that our brain does the same to make sense of things

Interesting.

I'm gonna lose sleep over this kind of stuff but I'm not mad about it.

😃

But on a more serious side-note, if you go deeper, or higher depending on the point of view.

The base reality, at the lowest level - while it probably reflects a lot of the rules in our universe - there might be things that are at their core chaos manifest.

For instance, infinities of time and space.

I've always thought about a quote in my head, and I'm paraphrasing, "Chaos is order yet to be deciphered" and "Time is merely a measure of change"

Only if you are not a photon travelling through space.

Oof.

So let's call the base reality "steins gate" reality

We will have a lot of similarities with this base reality, but there are some key differences

Time and space might be infinities in both instances, but some infinities are larger than other infinities (Can be proven with math, can't explain this right now, google it)

Could it be that the higher up you go the reality pyramid, the faster light can travel?

That might explain quantum entanglement.

How so?

As far as my primitive brain goes, *tachyons* are the fastest-moving known particles

Scratch that, they're *hypothetical* particles so welp

The quantum particles use the higher dimensions to know the state of the other quantum particle and thus they can communicate ftl.

I'm trying to read this: http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=292

And it makes little sense to me

e.e

Did someone say STEINS GATE

Tbh, I only learned about the hypothesis of tachyons through Watchmen. XD

Okay, I think I understand it now

@Roko @JDB El Psy Kongroo.

So generally particles that aren't moving have a mass. We call this "rest mass". Anything with a positive mass cannot go faster than light.

Remember the god particle, a.k.a. higgs boson? This is responsible for giving things mass. If you remove this, the particle's minimum speed is the speed of light, and the maximum speed is infinity.
