Hi @andreaspeijerb and Welcome to Steemit! Thank you very much for the "Follow" also :)
I really enjoyed your post... I would vote for you! I had a Dutch partner for several years. Dutch girls are the best, haha... ok, maybe a slight bias!
Anyhow, yes, an infinite number of parallel universes makes life a very exciting proposition. That even batting my eyelids, or the speed at which I am writing this post could affect all present and future outcomes of every possible universe and "reality" model. That all things have their function and purpose in the overall whole. It makes one pay more attention and consider every action and response in the present moment, moment by moment. Well, that's my take. I will be very interested to read yours.
May I make a suggestion? I think your post would reach a much wider readership if you make #introduceyourself your first tag. Best wishes! :)
P.S. If you haven't done so already, then join: Steemit.chat and repost your blogs on the forums for wider exposure.
Hi David. Great tips, thanks! And yes, if you believe that there is no collapse of the wave function and that branching can occur at any moment, triggered by anything, then you are possibly continuously branching off into parallel worlds where you are doing something else at the same time without ever knowing it. Crazy stuff for sure. Good to know there are more people who like that sort of thing :)
I think/believe we can sometimes get to know/experience this in lucid dreaming. I think of identical twins that may swap positions for a little while to experience what it is like to have the life of the 'other'.
I sometimes wonder that if I am temporarily occupying the space of an alternate "David" in a parallel universe, then where is the "David" from that universe? Is he occupying my space simultaneously? Hope this makes some sort of sense, crazy though it sounds.
I think the price you pay for many worlds is divergence. David from this world-branch cannot cross over to David from some other branch. This is also why we can never know if there are more David-instances in other branches and the theory of many-worlds will remain forever outside empiricism.
