I hope to God that there is another me.... imagine banging yourself.

The scariest part is there are probably many Christian versions of everyone here.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Why would this make any sense though? I don't see the need for existence to play everything out an infinite number of times. It really boggles my brain, I could accept parallel universes, but an infinite number of them is just crazy!

They aren't needed so much as they are predicted, I bet the physicists would love it if the math converged on something else but nope, we've got multiple universe weirdness.

Wait. If there are infinite universes, shouldn't there be a me in some other universe that knows if time travel is possible or not and if it is, has a time machine? Or a universe jumping machine
Haha. No.
But, I guarantee there is a version of me that is a cyborg.

Infinite universes doesn't mean anything is possible.

Why would it not make sense? The cosmos does not conform to your expectations.
Or maybe it does
An infinite number of universes is less crazy than my existence

I know that. Which is why I did not guarantee that there is time travel or universe jumping.
Cyborgs are possible, I think. So prove me wrong!

I didn't say that it had to conform to my expectations, just that I personally see no sense in an infinite amount of parallel universes. Can you see sense in it? If so feel free to share why.
It isn't the fact that a parallel universe could exist, just the notion that there could be an infinite number of them which makes me confused.
Here's a question though, is the person in the parallel universe who is meant to be you, actually you?
