>>14249708The MW interpretation annoys the fuck out me. Especially when I hear people talking about it from an anthropological perspective "So every time I choose between what TV channel to watch, the Universe splits?" Fuck I hate normies. Yes fucking retard, and it splits every instant that a quark could jump between two states, or every time a string could wriggle in a different way for that matter, if strings really do exist. But lets just stick with quarks. So the Universe splits into a number of parallel Universes equal to the number of quarks in the original Universe. And it does so every instant, which is what, every zeptosecond or something ridiculous? Then each and everyone one of those new Universes also similarity splits into a fuckload of new Universes. Because they are full of fucking quarks too. This utterly insane exponential process carries on every zeptosecond, in every Universe, and every new Universe thereafter, for as long as the Universes exists.
I understand that yes, that is possible, from a purely philosophical point of view if not science. But it just doesn't sit right with me. Its "off". It doesn't gel. My gut instinct tells me its all wrong. It doesn't feel right. It gives me the wrong vibe, yes, the wrong vibe. The vibe is all wrong.
But I suppose it could lead to some interesting new big numbers. To calculate the number of Universes you would have to calculate the number of quarks at the point of the big bang, then raise that to the power of itself repeatedly for every zeptosecond in the calculated life of the Universes. Just thinking about it makes me piss my pants for some reason.
I claim first dibs on naming this number. I call it EMOAN. The Estranged Mother of All Numbers. It would be a weaponized number. Access to even just thinking about it would be highly restricted. For just even thinking about it would immediately turn the brain of the unprepared into jellied mush. And probably make them piss their pants too.
