Parallel Universes
There is another me out there, in a level 1 parallel universe (see Scientific American Online, Parallel Universes), and she is typing the very same sentence into the very same computer, looking out the same window listening to the same construction noise outside with the same cat running around the floor meowing and going slowly insane from inertia and boredom. Is she smelling the same litter box smell? Is she also unable to figure out if the thing just needs changing or if there's a random poop floating somewhere around the room? Is there any difference at all? Or is there a tapestry of probability waves surrounding my existence in which every possible me exists simultaniously? Is every moment of time a new universe unto itself? Does any of this help me pay my rent? If I don't pay my rent in this existence, and another me does, can I crash on her floor for a few months?
Read the article, then write me. These are important questions that need answering.
