Al Gore is still president.
Edited on Wed Jun-22-05 10:57 PM by Fescue4u
According to Quantum physics, every possiblity actually occurs in a different dimension. For example, if you come to a fork in the road and you go right, in another quantum reality another version of you goes left.

So, if the theory holds.

In another quantum reality, there is a nation full of Happy free people who have just reelected Al Gore to another 4 years.

9/11 didnt happen. No Iraq war. No Abu Gharib. Bush is still a 2 bit govenor down in Texas.

Or if you prefer, in another quantum reality, Kerry is getting settled into his office after roundly defeating Bush.

Bush has been indicted on war crimes and proof of election fraud has been uncovered. Jobs on the increase, the stock market is rising and the troops are all coming home this weekend.

DAMN. I am sure am jealous of those folks in these other Quantum realitys

2. I think about that all the time
What it would be like if it was Al Gore as my president now. This past November I would've proudly voted for his second term and he would be there. :cry:

3. This is only a theory.
in opposition to Schroedinger's waveform.

Given the number of choices/probabilities I don't really support the many worlds theory. Simply b/c of Newton's laws of conservation of energy. From where do these realities come from ? Do they exist concurrently ? If so, what separates us ? An different vibrational frequency ? Perhaps an energy signature that keys us into THIS reality.

Like any science minded individual I am open to changing my mind. And IF they find a way there. I wanna go !!! Anything beats the chimperor.

7. You are perilously teetering on the verge of philosophy...
Edited on Wed Jun-22-05 11:22 PM by Dr_eldritch
One could easily argue that 'observation', 'mind', and 'perception' are the only actors in the determination of reality... in which case each 'quantum' universe would become dependent upon a particular observer or combination of observations. Then one must ask 'what entities are capable of observation?'. Trees? Humans? Rocks? Paris Hilton?

Then the question has to change to fit the criteria... which are certainly infinite beyond our mere imagination.

The Question I like to ask philosophers is this;

"In order to have or be everything, what must happen first?"

But from the 'hard' physical standpoint of the baryonic universe...

There is no way to measure what happens outside of our 'observable' range.


{oe}- "hard" is a word that should always be in quotes when referring to 'reality'.

5. Ha ha... I agree...
Edited on Wed Jun-22-05 11:11 PM by Dr_eldritch
So if your 'multiple quantum realities' or 'multiverse' theory holds true, then humanity will have already achieved divinity and therefore omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence in any one of those universii (one is all it would take.). With the mastery of time, space, and consciousness, linear time becomes irrelevant and theoretical quantum differentiation would also become irrelevant.

We have won over oblivion no matter what.

Got questions?

13. Already done.

Let's think about it...

What do we have to worry about if I'm right?
As far as our 'Divine Descendants' are concerned, the universe is based upon sentience... now let's not get into what is and is not sentient...

Therefore, reality is gauged on the experience of it's denizens.

(That would be everybody and everything)

So... if they even vaguely emulate us in our quest to 'remember' everything... to know everything... would they not preserve every single thought, event, action, emotion, reality that ever occurred?

Hell, I would.

And if the 'multiverse' possibilities are infinite, then there is a universe wherein the denizens would, will, have, and do preserve our each and every consciousness.

Remember - these entities transcend all of time and space. They are masters of consciousness... and we are a giant hard drive... part of God so to speak.

Read this, it's a little primitive without the multiverse theory, but you'll get it easily;

Then get back to me.

6. Actually,
a President named Keel is getting ready to create a Paranormal Affairs Committee to deal with the sudden appearance of vampires, superhumans, and other strange creatures that have appeared amongst us.

Oh, wait. That's in MY universe.

Sorry for the confusion.

9. Except in my universe, Bush was found diddling the paperboy and
was defeated by John Hightower for re-election 8 years ago. Ann Richards decided to come out of her early retirement as an author to serve as Lt. Gov.

Hightower turned Texas into a progressive model for not only the south, but the rest of the US.

Texas now has the lowest pollution, highest living standards, and best education system in the nation.

Papa Bush was found guilty of improprieties not only involving Iran/Contra, but the Franklin scandal, and prostitution in the WH.
He is now serving a life term in a Federal facility outside of Kansas City.

A woman named Boxer in California defeated former actor Schwartzinegger to become governor. She, with Texas' Hightower, are influencing national legislation to continue the progress we've had in solar, wind, geo-thermal, and other alternative energy sources to be completely independent of Arab oil by 2020.

<don't wake me up>

16. they have some fun with this in the movie "The One"
News clips reveal that in other universes, Gore is in office -- or in one case, that Bush is a truly progressive and compassionate leader who ushers in national health insurance.

Now that one I found hard to believe.

17. happy place
great post! made me smile, sometimes I go away to my happy place where al gore is president. Can you just imagine the world right now? the way that one factor (a certain president we all know) can just mess things up. I want to go to the parallel universe!

18. when you fix elections you eliminate the "fork."
If it's any comfort there are an infinite number of universes sharing in our misery...

Yeah I didn't think so either.
