The whole thing only makes sense to me if its part of a never ending perpetual cycle of universal death and rebirth that has neither beginning nor end.
This of course raises further questions however and merely illustrates how limited my mind is.
I of course do not assume it to be true but assuming that was true I would find it a very depressing prospect. It would mean an exact copy of me was doomed to repeat the same events every trillion years or so for the rest of time. The same mistakes, the same triumphs, the same conclusion. A cage none of us would ever escape from due to our material nature. Although what if thats how alternate universes played out? What if the next playthrough I made a different decision because of slight variations? What if the cat is both alive and dead because the different conclusions do not occur in a single moment but across eons?
This is just speculation. Still, what a sci-fi book it would make.
