not just the same or similar to our own. The fourth scenario is the ‘many worlds’ interpretation of quantum physics. Here,

whenever the ‘probability curve’ collapses to provide a particular outcome in the everyday world, what’s happening is that all the possible outcomes from a possibility manifest as separate universes. So, if you like, the universe splits at this point. The reader may note a

certain similarity here with the rhino illustration above – all that might happen seems able to happen, in this scenario. But it’s not quite the same. Even if there are an infinite number of new universes created at every split, we might argue that this infinity of infinities still might not allow for everything that could ever be imagined to be realised.

And finally, yes, a Multiverse of all imaginary worlds. Does the world not actually split when we make a choice? Do not all the IF’s and

THEN’s somehow result in completely separate universes?

Well, if you think about it long enough – in fact, if you think about it even for a short time – it’s a truly horrific possibility. No REAL FREEDOM,

you see! All the terrible choices you’ve ever considered making – they actually became real worlds!

At least the quantum many worlds scenario was a bit more abstract – a collapse of the probability curve is not necessarily because of human choice. But now, yes, somehow we are really responsible – responsible yet helpless. Well, I know what you’re thinking. Just more silly philosophical speculation. Nothing to see here. Move along.

And I agree that this would have been the case – had it not been for virtual reality.
