That is, one in 10^500 of the string landscape universes happens to have the same laws of physics as ours, and 1 in a very, very large number of THOSE is identical to this one, or maybe differs by a single particle's spin. This gives us, at humungous distances, an identical multiverse to the one the MWI does (assuming being in identical quantum states means actually being identical, as I believe it does). Plus if our "bubble" in the string landscape is infinite (which I think it can be?) then it *itself* contains a MWI style multiverse, at rather smaller distances - maybe a mere 10^10^70 light years, or whatever!
So we get a "redundant infinity" of identical universes ("infinity squared" ? Or cubed, even, given the three different ways these can arise...? (Not that that's any larger than plain old countable infinity, of course!)). Excuse me, I have to go and lie down now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
