What's an entity?
Any system whose canonical description can be associated with some
kind of fixed point theorem.

Hi Roger,
I find it harder to believe in finite universes. Why the
precise number, whatever it is?

Hi,
牋� I think this paper might be fodder for a nice
discussion!

About the Infinite Repetition of Histories in Space

(Submitted on 22 Jan 2013 (v1
<http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.5295v1>), last revised 23

This paper analyzes two different proposals, one
by Ellis and Brundrit, based on classical
relativistic cosmology, the other by Garriga and
Vilenkin, based on the DH interpretation of
quantum mechanics, both of which conclude that,
in an infinite universe, planets and living
beings must be repeated an infinite number of
times. We point to some possible shortcomings in
the arguments of these authors. We conclude that
the idea of an infinite repetition of histories
in space cannot be considered strictly speaking a
consequence of current physics and cosmology.
Such ideas should be seen rather as examples of
{\guillemotleft}ironic science{\guillemotright}
in the terminology of John Horgan.
