RE: Letters From Darwin - Understanding Probability With A Universe In A Box
also fair to consider an alternative universe possible where the Big Bang never occurred
Absolutely! There could be an infinite number of universes and this could be the first one that has produced organic life, or indeed intelligent life.
And relating to your dice in a box illustration, it implies that the alternative versions of us are exactly like us.
Only in appearance, of course an exact copy of you would have lived his own life , with his own hopes and dreams.
So yeah, you definitely filled in the blanks for me there! :-)
Very interesting topic and post! Made me think that maybe there is an exact copie of me for a short period of time but in the long run it seems impossible: surroundigs and conditions we live in affects us and our appearances (causes e.g. Oxidative stress). We would have to live in perfeclty copied surroundings with my copy and experiece exactly same things so that we would remain the same. Do you think this makes any sense?
