What if we attached a bunch of rockets to each other in a straight line then used propulsion to shoot a section out in time intervals so each time the velocity exponentially increased? If we used enough rockets could we reach deep space?

I can logically prove the existence of multiple gods, but not an absolute god. Here it goes.

I want you to notice that when a discussion of Multiverse theory takes place people tend to say, "An infinite number of POSSIBLE realities." vs. "An infinate number of realities.

The word possible holds a lot of meaning in this sentence. This is because it implies that some realities we can imagine do not exist in this multiverse.

Let's put it like this. First let's assume our universe is a computer simulation, and important values have a variable quantity, but the qualities remain the same.

Antimatter = x
Matter = x
Higgs setting = x
Dark matter = x

There's a lot more settings to list, like dark energy, but this serves as an example. You could assume that each setting could have any value from 0-infinate. The value of 0 means it doesn't occur naturally but it can be made artificially.

This means there are an infinate number of POSSIBLE universes based on each variable setting.

Here's where the word "possible" becomes important. Let's assume that the world of Hairy Potter is impossible in our multiverse because no matter how much you change each setting, magic can't work.

Now what happens if you add or remove a setting? You end up with another multiverse. One where Hairy Potter could be real. In fact, you end up with an infinate number of multiverses because you can have an infinate number of settings, or none at all.

This also means that the settings of an infinate number of universes allows the existence of, for example, Zeus. Yes he's off making babies with golden rain out there somewhere.

More importantly, this is where it gets fun. Let's call this infinate cluster of multiverses a megaverse (Thank you Neil deGrasse Tyson). Everything you can imagine exists in this megaverse. The entire marvel/dc multiverse, Hairy Potter, Greek Mythology, and your mind's limits. Literally, your mind's limits. You cannot imagine anything other than saying somethings there.

Also 'cant go faster than light' is stupid concept. It doesn't feel beautiful, which is the only true criteria for choosing your physical reality.

Why is global warming a problem?

Hasn't the climate of the planet changed trough it's history? Haven't we always have had warmer and cooler periods that switch between each other?

Why are naturalist so concerned about this? Shouldn't they be the ones letting the planet go trough with it's natural cycles rather than doing everything they can to keep it in an unnaturally static state?

For the past few weeks I have been 'raising' an ant colony at work. They seem to live under the tile/inside the cupboards and are incredibly small, black ants. I have become stumped at their behavior.
>They seem to only come out when I am working (my co-workers have ocd/retardation so they would have killed them all if noticed, and they are very noticeable).
>They clump together underneath an area where a sugar dispenser is refilled, however they don't seem to want to move all the sustinence I provide them(intentionally).
>I estimate their numbers at around 150 strong
>They move out of the way once I bring out the broom, in 2 months I have only sweeped roughly 10 of them away.

Science is increasingly refuting the idea that a larger brain is the only possible way for higher intelligence so can they have a minor sense of self consciousness or a high degree of intelligence?

Alright so I've become a bit interested in this recently, can somebody tell me if I understand this correctly? Reposting because there was a fair bit I wanted to add and correct.
1D = A line, only one can exist.
2D = A square space in which a line can exist in any form within the boundaries of the square. Multiple lines can exist but if they touch, to the observer it's still just one line. In addition a line bending into itself is possible.
3D = The space in which multiple squares can form a cube, a line can exist in multiple squares. Once again, multiple lines touching to the observer would still appear to be one line.
4D = A linear timeline composed of every single point in time, only one can exist. Picturing this in the real world, it's as if we formed a line by taking a screenshot of every single point of time in the universe and arranged them side by side in the correct order. These screenshots forming the line is our timeline. Our perception of time is equivalent to watching a video that we cannot manipulate. A 4D being can visit any point in this timeline, however to get from point A to point C, the being will still need to travel through point B and vice versa. This is like a person watching any point of a video they want, but they can only use fast forward or rewind to get to the desired points. The video is still the same no matter what the viewer does to it.

5D = A "square space" in which a timeline can exist in any form within the boundaries of the square. The timeline can bend into itself, essentially meaning it's possible to visit previous or future points of time contained in this timeline. Two timelines cannot interact, otherwise once again, to the observer it just appears as one timeline. This means we still only have one timeline but a 5D being can view any point of the timeline at will by bending it in on itself, however this being cannot actually change the timeline, only visit various points. Using our video example, the 5D viewer can now jump to any point in the video he wants without having to view the parts in between.
6D = The space in which multiple 5D "squares" form a "cube". These squares each represent the space where separate timelines exist, however within the cube, a timeline can exist in multiple squares meaning timelines can branch off or exist independently but still not touch each other or once again, it's a single timeline. Using the picture, one 5D square is pink, one is green and one is blue; these three form a cube in 6D space. Now let's say each timeline is only composed of three points in time referred to as point A, B and C. A timeline can still exist entirely in the pink square, or point A and B of the timeline could occur in pink whereas point C occurs in green. Point A, B and C could also occur in the pink, green and blue squares respectively, however it's impossible for point C to occur in the blue square if A and B are both in the pink square, and vice versa. This means there's still limits to the forms a timeline can take. Once again with our video example, now we have three different videos. Within the aforementioned constraints, a 6D being could watch sections of one video combined with sections of another.
>>
Continued one more time:

7D = A line composed of our 6D cubes which to us is essentially the same thing as 3D cubes in a row viewed from the side as 2D squares which a being existing in 2D would view as a 1D line. Back to the video example in the 6D example, the 7D being can view the sections of the different videos in any order he wants.
8D = The space in which our 7D line exists, meaning the 7D line can now interact with itself suggesting our limits explained in the 6D section are no longer relevant. Not sure how to continue the video example.
9D = Extrapolate nigga
>>
>>8795495
Your concept of time is misguided. Just like how you go from:
0-D: A point
1-D: A line made of translating the point
2-D: A square made from translating the line in another dimension
3-D: A cube made from translating the square into another dimension
4-D: You are translating these 3-D object through time.

You have trouble visualizing this because in your experience, you've only ever seen one slice of time at a time. It would be like seeing only one slice of a cube (a square).

If you stand on the edge of two possibilities between a happening or b without prior knowledge, sort of like Schrodinger's cat, could your perception determine whether a or b happens. If so, wouldn't you hypothetically be proving the existence of multiple realities, if it truly occurred based on how you thought it would turn out?

If so, would the concept of personal realities play a huge role in the process of trans-versing through the various realities which are laid out in front of you?
>>
It should be firstly noted that one of the most common misconceptions about QM is that consciousness plays any factor into it. What throws everyone off is the use of the word "observe".

A wave function isn't collapsed when somebody thinks "I'm gonna give this a look," and observes it. Once some particle or such interacts with an object is when the wave function collapses.

>>8795369
So how you think an outcome will result does not determine how you will interpret the outcome to transpire or result?
