Is this like a higher abstraction level version of looking at a mirror pointed at another mirror type situation?, or help me visualize your idea better
On further thought, it sounds like a hologram theory to me, am i right?
If I’m understanding them right, it’s more like this: Imagine flipping a coin and recording the result an infinite number of times. Then your record will include any finite sequence of flips, because any event with a nonzero probability no matter how unlikely will happen if given infinite opportunities. For example you’ll get a sequence where Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is written in binary with heads as 1 and tails as 0 and vice versa. By an easy corollary of this, any finite sequence of flips will be repeated an infinite number of times. What this person is saying is that they believe the universe is like this; if you decide the location and energy of every electon, neutron and proton in a section of the universe with the same mass as the solar system there’s a nonzero chance it’ll contain an exact replica of the Earth and everything on it, hence in an infinite homogeneous universe there will be an infinite number of such replicas. Now I don’t think this makes sense, because the chance of getting such a replica probably is zero (in the same way that the probability of choosing a random real number and getting 7 is zero), but this is the logic I think.
Yup essentially. Although as far as physics is accurate and our measurements are accurate currently it seems to be the case that spacetime is actually flat and homogeneous aka it goes on and on in all directions and is equally full of shit. No way to prove that though, just infer from what we can measure using laws that accurately predict other shit we can measure.
Nope just one really big (infinitely large) universe. Eventually it starts looping. Like a small example, if I have 5 cups and 10 balls and I put all the balls into a cup eventually I get more than one ball in a cup because there’s more balls than cups. For any finite volume there’s a finite number of ways to arrange energy so with an infinite universe with infinite stuff it just starts looping eventually just like the balls in the cups situation.
In short you’re overthinking it. With Infinite space dust, you start making the same shit totally by accident eventually.
