The theory is as follows:
- If time is infinite, doesn't that technically mean that odds are also infinite?
For example, if something happens once, and time is infinitely long,
wouldn't that suggest that whatever happened is bound to happen again? Because the odds are infinite.
- Moving on-to the second part of the theory, if the odds of something are infinite,
doesn't that mean that whatever has already happened,
has a 100% chance of happening again at some point in the infinite future?
- Now, the third part of the theory. The fact that we're all alive, conscious, breathing,
thinking, means we now know for a fact that the odds of being alive are ATLEAST 1.
Each one of us are living proof of this fact. So, back to the theory of infinite time.
If time is infinite, and the odds of something that has already happened
happening again in the infinity plane of time are 100:0, doesn't that technically mean that
we are bound to live again? Be it a different body, consciousness, soul, whatever you'd like to call it.
But you'd still feel alive, no? You most likely wouldn't recognise your previous life of course, because it isn't technically "you" anymore,
but perhaps it was once?
This ties in with death. So, as you all are aware before you were born, billions of years passed.
The same will happen after we all die, too. I ask myself the question, why now? Why was I born now?
I get that there most definitely isn't a specific reason as to why I was born now,
but I can't fathom how time has passed before, and will pass after I'm gone.
I understand this may sound literally insane to many people, which is fair enough,
because it does; but I'm eager to learn about it and would love some thoughts on it.
