And so that got me to investigate whether there is an out in quantum mechanics for something like this.
So I looked around and Schrodinger, who's kind of one of the founders of quantum mechanics, he talked about the famous Schrodinger's cat, which I'm sure people have heard of by now.
But there was an obscure speech of his, I think it was in Caltech or something in 1940, and he said that when we collapse the probability wave or
We observe it.
We are in effect choosing from one of multiple simultaneous histories.
And that doesn't make sense in a linear time.
But when you have a simulation, you can run multiple versions of it.
In fact, you would.
I mean, why else would you run simulations if you didn't want to see what would happen in the weather?
If you were to simulate the weather, you'd say you run it a hundred times and say, okay, this is the likely outcome, but this is the best outcome we want.
And so there's a possibility that our simulation is being run multiple times.
And that basically results in the multiverse, like superheroes.
Because each timeline becomes, you know, like its own universe, if you will.
And the problem with that theory, the multiverse theory, is that it's creating a new universe like all the time.
Like not every second, every like nanosecond or picosecond or very small.
And so it's not parsimonious.
It's just creating too many physical universes.
Uh, but it turns out if it's simulated, then it is possible because you don't have to do all of them.
You just do the ones that make sense to you and you run them to a certain period of time.
Interesting.
