There might just be something worse than what you mention. -
I’m having enough of a struggle just coping with this obvious universe for now; much less multiple situations. - Twinkie needs a vacation! Simplify! Simplify!

You got a point there, we ARE living in the “Bearded Spock universe”

Where Moochelle is the beard.

I saw this already in a movie called “The Mist” (Stephan King book). The scientists’ window into the other dimension was actually a door and the things coming through were hungry and not at all house broken.

Must be yet another variation... Sulu liked women in that universe.

“It was dreamed up solely to provide some response to the unmistakable theistic implications of the anthropic principle and the beginning of the universe itself.”

Yep. The supposedly objective scientists are not at all objective when it comes to those implications. This is similar to one of the reasons Darwin’s writings became popular. The most exciting thing about the Theory of Evolution to many 19th century scientists was how it laid the foundation for atheism based on science.

for crying out loud- all you need is some chewing gum, bailing wire, duct tape, and a parallel universe tester kit which is available online at Ebay- The repair items are for the testers, as they no doubt will be used items in need of repair- but whatever-

I thought everyone had a parallel universe tester?

What happens if you connect your parallel universes in series? If one goes out do they all go out?

Hugh Everett was the first to wonder at this back in 1957. The simple example was why do we see just one outcome of an experiment when many are possible?

When light passes through a polarizer so that it would be projected either vertically or horizontally, we only see one outcome. Basically, Everett’s hypothesis was that both states actually take place, but that they are at that instant separated from each other, and there can be no awareness of one to the other.

It’s sort of intriguing, to me at least, to think about what course our lives have taken, bifurcating endlessly through eternity.

God could eventually make a lot come out right in such a scenario. ...If that’s how He actually does it....

I would advise them to eat some mushrooms and see
what they think about that.

not if you have a series of failsafe emergency jumpers in place-

(you’ll find that info on page four of the instruction manuals)

I’ve been living in an upside down world for the past 7-8 years. If someone can right it, go for it.

There have been days when I have heard things on the “news” that made me think I had awakened in a “parallel universe….”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me too!
Maybe we are slipping back and forth between dimensions.
