Do you guys ever think about how improbable it is that you exist?
If my father had done a single thing differently throughout his life-span, I wouldn't be here writing this post. If my mother had done a single thing differently throughout her life-span, I wouldn't be here writing this post.
You could go-up the tree through human history. In this reality, there's probably a less than 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance that you'd be a part of it, but you're here anyway.
I just can't shake the feeling that we live in a cyclic, infinite universe with an infinite amount of time to make such a thing happen.
If there are infinite universes and there is the smallest chance of something happening,it will happen.

Then god is real, etc. When I look at the general trajectory of the human species, I can't say he cares about intelligent life-forms.
I believe it's firmly in the realm of science fiction.

Hunter Kelly
Even when you step away from it like that, it's still almost an infinitely small chance that you'd exist in the first place. Everything in the universe had to align in such a way for you to exist in the first place.
The odds of such a thing are close to 0. Especially an intelligent life-form when intelligence isn't even a necessity for life to exist.

This is actually not true. Example: There are infinite integers, but there is no integer bigger than 2 but smaller than 3. Also known as [math] infinite \neq exhaustive [/math]
>Everything in the universe aligned the same way again
This is what I can't agree with. Its only been proven in very simple, physical models that an infinite amount of time and an infinite amount of space can result in something that never re-aligns.
Levi Jackson
But if you shuffle a deck of cards over and over with an infinite amount of time, that order will recur.
Lincoln Richardson

But is it really the case? I mean, everyday different parts of human body changes and all that remains constant is structure. Which particles form it - doesn't really matter. Maybe even if your father was another person you would still finally became you

Logan Ramirez
Yes but that's a 3d space with 52 partitions, is it true in n dimensional space with m partitions?
Anthony Ramirez
I've no clue, and that's the issue. No one really knows because there are too many variables.
We very well could live in a cyclic reality that changes slightly throughout repetitions and not know it.
Michael Stewart
If there are an infinite number of things that COULD happen, does that also not imply an infinite variance?
Elijah Taylor
but we do exist, so clearly the odds are 100%
David Long

The universe is objectively finite, and a finite amount of matter over an infinite amount of time would yield recurrence.

Sometimes I think the multi-verse theory is true, and in the vast majority of universes I did commit suicide. The person that's myself can only exist in a universe where I didn't die, so from my perspective, and ONLY my perspective, I'll appear I have some sort of quantum immortality or quirky fate thing happen every time a near death event occurs. But in reality tons of my other selves in other realities are dieing all the time and each near death experience greatly reduces the number of versions of me that exist in the multi-verse.
I wonder, if each time a version of me dies in another universe or some near death experience kills off tons of versions of me where it wasn't quite near-death for them, does that diminish me somehow?
>Nigga, the multiverse theory is precisely popsci's second most pathetic excuse to reject God's existence in an infalsibiable way. This is so true and it's sad people don't see through it.
>Physics starts giving strange results that imply we live in an unnatural universe >Higgs Boson gives the final nail in the coffin for naturalism >Physicists start fleeing for the multiverse theory because "If we presume the existence of infinite universes than the fact ours is so strange is irrelevant!" It's cowardice to actually avoid the conclusion their results are pointing to

The chances of some person or another being around today starting with the condition humans as species already exist is pretty fucking high. Whether this given person is you or some other person is pretty irrelevant, like being amazed that THIS particular grain of sand is in the desert and not some other grain of sand.

No, did you even read my post? Your chance of existing isn't anything special unless you wrongly differentiate between you and all the other people you're almost entirely interchangeable with. Refer to the desert analogy. This isn't anything to be impressed by.

Brandon Powell
>unless you wrongly differentiate between you and all the other people you're almost entirely interchangeable with But I do. The fact that I get to exist rather than some other shlub is a pretty big deal to me. Subjectively the fact that I exist rather than don't exist is actually the biggest deal in the world. I had a 99.9999999999999999999% chance of not existing at all, yet here I am, isn't that something to be celebrated, cherished and feel awed at? Feel free to equate yourself to a grain of sand if you want but I'm infinitely more important than that, in fact I am the most important thing in the universe from the only point of view that has merit, my own.
Blake Hill
>isn't that something to be celebrated, cherished and feel awed at? No, I explained this already. You're making up a nonsensical probability based on the wrong premise that different instances of the same species aren't almost entirely interchangeable, certainly relative to the universe, and even relative to as narrow a scope as this particular planet. People are born all the fucking time, it's not anything special. >the only point of view that has merit, my own Please stop using all of your technology then, it was built using a point of view where you aren't important and therefore "has no merit."

Josiah Reed
>aren't almost entirely interchangeable But they're not? The difference between existing and not existing is huge. My consciousness is unique. It's not "interchangeable" with anyone elses. From my perspective existing is a big deal because the chance of my particular consciousness not existing was so high. Likewise yours. Do you really feel as though there would be zero difference to you, personally had you not existed? Why not just end yourself then?

De Impossibilitate Vitae and De Impossibilitate Prognoscendi ( ("On the Impossibility of Life" and "On the Impossibility of Prognostication"): two books (by a fictional author Cezar Kouska) reviewed in one review, both dealing with alternative history. This pseudoreview was published in English under the title Odds in 1978 in The New Yorker.[3] The former consists almost entirely of tracking all the things that must have happened for the author (Kouska) to have been born: his father must have married his mother, which in turn depended on them meeting during the War, which in turn depended on multitude of other events. Here Lem argues for the butterfly effect: changing one thing has an almost infinite number of unimaginable consequences. De Impossibilitate Vitae is a fictionalized piece of Lem's own biography.[4] The latter is an argument that futurology cannot be based on the probability theory, but rather of some other approach, quoting Lem: "namely, to quote Kouska, 'theory, based on antipodal axioms, of the distribution of ensembles in actual fact unparalleled in the space-time continuum of higher-order events.' (The quotation also serves to show that the reading of the work, in the theoretical sections, does present certain difficulties.)"[3] Professor Kouska is the namesake of "Kouska's fallacy" in reasoning about concurrent happening of two highly improbable real-life events: in calculating of the probability of such a happening it is fallacious to assume that they are independent.[5][6]
This is like rolling your face on your keyboard for 5 minutes with a text file open, looking at your screen, and collapsing in shock at the infinitesimal probability of typing that exact sequence of characters. You could do this a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion more times and never reproduce it. Wow!!! #Blessed
