How Do Multiverses Know About Humans?
I recently finished a wonderful book titled Guardian by Joe Haldeman.
It, as have many other books, uses the idea of multiverses, where
every possible outcome happens because there's a universe where
it happens.
That's a lot of universes.
More troubling than the immense resources necessary for multiverses
to be true, is that the multiverses always seem to know about
human level causality.
By that i mean we see a multiverse where someone didn't die and that changed history.
Or we see an event that didn't happen for some reason which changed
the time line.
What we don't see are disembodied heads rolling around on the ground.
We don't see an arm attached to a head. We don't see half
a mountain or half the sky missing. We don't see places
where the laws of physics are whacky.
Why aren't there universes where these kind of alternatives happen?
Human agency can't be the principle around which universes
are cleaved.
