This had been guessed at years ago in DC Comics when Superman would try to go into the past and change things, only to find that he went into a parallel universe. The DC editors even maintained that in an infinite universe, there would be a few with a REAL Superman where their stories actually happened. The 50's through '80's Superman was earth-1, the golden age Saperman was on earth-2. We live on earth-prime. More earths were made for Captain Marvel, Quality comics heroes and various rogue superheroes.

There was also a scifi short story where people found out about this and started killing themselves because somewhere else another version of them did not make the same stupid mistakes.

Frankly, there are severe metaphysical problems with this approach. Stanley Jaki deals with this in "Is there a multiverse?" I am sure there are better treatises that show the theory to be absurd.

He left an an important piece. These infinite universes are expanding and eventually will collide.

And no one knows what will happen then.

Something that I have never heard scientists discuss in regards to infinite multiverses:

With infinite multiverses there is no such thing as morality.

If every possible universe exists then there are an infinite number of universes in which I am a saint and an infinite number of universes in which I am an axe murderer.

Even if at some level God has decided that axe murdering is a bad thing, if He has created a universe in which infinite copies of each person he created are axe murderers then it doesn't say much for the proscription against axe murdering.

It would be like the enforcement of speeding laws where everyone is pretty much allowed to speed most of the time and are only nabbed when they are speeding excessively or the odd occasion when the officers are overly zealous.

Or like the current "enforcement" of our immigration laws.

Well, I hope that the other bannies are as fortunate as I have been in being an American.

There's no cosmology to back up the theory, but such a formulation also means that every possible Earth gets "born" at a different time.

So, sufficient distance travel would be the same as time travel.

Even so, it doesn't help. Whatever world you're trying to find, it will take you an infinity to find it.

Which reminds of my tagline of long ago -- "I once thought that I would live forever ... but that was an eternity ago."

Elvis still lives and so does John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, and a lot of other influential people. They are alive in our thoughts, dreams, and motivations because they are an important part of history...the part we need to learn from.

*The last 7 words of that sentence should earn me a retroactive failure in my English classes back in the early 60's at Iowa State.

[Revolting cat!]

Oh, great, we can look forward to seeing Tickle Me II !

[mdittmar]

Damn right he lives,I saw him Crying In The Chapel

[LisaMalia]

My older sister brought me up on Elvis. I was just in a child, and she was a young teen madly in love with him. My daddy made sure she had a record player, and she saved her lunch money to buy his records. I think I know about every lyric to every song, even the ones from the crappy movies Crnl Parker stuck him with. He was such a gentleman, just a poor country boy with a strong faith, and USED by so many. He had the potential to be one of the great actors of all time. Below is on of my favorite pictures of Elvis, in his prime, and the song that best describes him:

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder

The Sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,
What could you do?

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet, if you please.

Holy moly.

The King did not die. He ascended. One day he will return as a hunka hunka burnin' love to banish all sorrow. In that day we will truly be his teddy bears.
