Alternative Universe
What would be the most interesting change…
'Interesting' is the Chinese Philosopher's Curse. I get your idea, but frankly, the universe as it pertains to me is going along swimmingly! The idea of upsetting the applecart by making a change to the past–and then having to deal with the consequences today is just too darn frightening for me to contemplate. Dude…we hovered on the brink of nuclear annihilation from almost my birth until I was thirty. I remember discussions in high school about how we would survive the holocaust of it when it happened. The doomsday clock never wavered off four till doomsday!!! It was scary! Do I want to try and live through a nuclear war? NOOOOO. Whew. Humanity dodged that bullet…for now. I think I'll take a sigh of relief and drink my mint juliep here in relative peace and tranquility!!!
I must say. That's mighty speedy reverse engineering that they pulled off there.the space ship never landed at roswell, and no one ever reverse engineered the transister.fix'd.
Roswell– July 8, 1947
Transitor–Bell Laboratories on December 16, 1947
the ship was already in pieces. any scientist would start throwing electricity thru every part to find out what would happen.
the transitor must have been the easiest to replicate.
Gentlemen wrap your noodles around this.I'd assume it would go to the next Bill in line, which is Bill Gates. The science guy would be after him.
No Bill Cosby.
Whose gonna teach Theo that wearing silly shirts is okay when your sister makes them?
WHO!!!!
I think you just created a whole new dynamic.
You just pitch this show ASAP!
It won't last there's always something threatening our existence…Would the world really be better off without Nukes?What would be the most interesting change…
The doomsday clock never wavered off four till doomsday!!! It was scary! Do I want to try and live through a nuclear war? NOOOOO. Whew. Humanity dodged that bullet…for now!
People have an anthrocentric view of the universe… That's fair enough, why shouldn't we think the universe revolves around us since we're the ones thinking up these concepts and terms to start with!
But if the universe is actually a big, cold, objective space that doesn't care about us and we're just some teeny insignificant speck that only exists for the blink of a millisecond (in terms of universal time), then you have to rethink the alternative universe idea. Sorry. :(
-That means; if different events occur differently, different outcomes result, so you get a differently formed universe right? Well there are several billion, billion chances that had to go just the right way to bring human life into being to begin with, let alone life at all, the earth or even the solar system or the Milky Way.
…So, it's very, very unlikely that there would be humans or even an Earth in any other universe but this one.
They might not even have the same laws of physics or even time.
(given that in most alt-universe theories there are actually a finite number of universes and that number is probably a lot smaller than the number of possible alternative events that there are between us and the beginning of time)
I think there's a parallel universe theory too… the idea is that in those universes everything is the same, I think. They're all just reflections of each other and can never interact. So there'd be humans in those… But no different at all from us in any way.
