Question: What is love?

Baby don't hurt me! Don't hurt me, no more...


As for my question: OP! Y U NO MAKES GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME!?

BCUZ I AIN'T GOT ALL TEH TIEM IN TEH WURLD!

Okay, but seriously, I'm transiently shifting from my place of "work", here, and eating while killing Sweden (nothing personal, they declared war on me first)

I am both sentient and not a mammal.

What are you, then? An octopus with a waterproof keyboard, an unusually smart macaw or some sort of alien?

Option three, though I will admit, I contain an octopus, and he does own a water proof keyboard.

Wait... alien, with an octopus on the inside? Reminds me of...

Oh god.

WRONG!! But I have met one, assholes the whole lot of them.

Wow, you guys are running into the great temporal ditch, let me pull you out with the answer in the next post.

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

Ahem.. We can't explain everything as it is in its entirety here on a forum, I'd literally need two volumes of an encyclopedia and a dictionary to go through the whole thing.
Luckily, you're wondering about a specific subject within the broad ditch you keep digging yourself into. So here we go...

Time is 3 different things all rolled up into one, a river, a long string of infinite individual moments that all exist in sequence, and a fabric like quality of the universe.
The third definition is what most completely defines your question. What causes alternate timeline splits?
Well, Existence has a SHITLOAD of space, but unfortunately, a Universe for every different decision and path fills Existence beyond capacity by roughly 5.762 x 10 to the 222473888392 power (god dammit that's huge, I don't even think computers can calculate that entirely right now) Universal units (or Uu) cubed. In order to keep existence from literally bursting at what can be defined as its seems, the new timelines are run separately for a trial period. They run in complete unison with the same history but are never aware of one another.
Then after a rough 20,000 years after the split, "The powers that be" choose the one that's most entertaining, and destroy the other one.

Why 20,000 years? Because that's when "The powers that be" (can't name any names or organizations or else my sentence gets longer) programmed the universes to automatically run through and delete the stupid ones.

You guys almost came out with 5 heads once, that was abandoned though, too boring.


EDIT: I forgot, Alternate histories, are FANTASTIC.
Seven significant ones are running right now
1) Earth as it is now
2) Earth as it is now + creatures that meld with their partner's souls
3) A complete mirror of this Earth, except that beings that control the elements exist and no one is sentient except them (humans there do everything you do, exactly how you do it, but aren't really alive)
4) GIANT JUNGLE OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
5) What the Earth would be like if Grim reapers could just up and talk to you + Ninjas don't die out.
6) Everybody is Anthropomorphic.
7) Horror...unspeakable horror....

I think we should haddaway the bad joke book from you....

OT: Is there such a thing as 'the one' and have I already missed my chance?

Yep, It's either me, Justinian (Byzantines), Cornelius (some random British man from the 1700s), HP Lovecraft, L Ron Hubbard (just joking), Hitler (unfortunately not joking, I hated that guy), or George here. Type "Hi" George.

(destroyed because George insulted your mothers twice after revising this post)

...George is an ass, but anyway, you may or may not have missed your chance!! Act now!


I'll be back in a collective 2 hours, TO WAR WITH THE SWEDES!!!

Given the many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics, when one decision, option or possible timeline diverges into a new universe, does that new universe have the same history as the universe it split from? Does it have a history at all? Are many-worlders secretly insane? Hmmm.

It has the same history. This is because the universe is only split after the change. They will all remember things that happened before the new universe. So yes, this might not even be happening, as you're remembering the previous millisecond but still only now thinking about it.

I don't like the, "What is the answer to the universe?" question. "Universe" is not a question, and wouldn't have an answer. Be more specific.

Randomness. The universe is a random, new thing and it, in the end, doesn't matter.

Good answers, good answers. But what physically causes the universes/timelines to split?

Everything. Every action causes new universes where it went differently. Some of these universes are identical, where a single cell moved a billionth of a millimeter to the right instead of the left. Some are identical down to some unnoticeable fact, like I misspelled unnoticeable in some, which will create billions of branches as well. Some are wildly different, like the universes where Regan was assassinated successfully, or JFK wasn't. Some are pointless, like ones where the Earth never formed or humanity never evolved. Some are better, like ones where Firefly is still running. Some are worse, like ones where Hitler won. Basically, everything and everything that can happen, will happen, even if it's not in this universe. Take a deep breath. Now exhale. An infinte number of universes was just created, only a small number by you. Every cell, bacteria and virus just created a universe. Every person just created a universe. Every fleck of dust just created a universe. There's universes where you didn't inhale and exhale (and it might be this one). There's ones where you did. There's ones where you just inhaled a lethal disease, and are going to die now.

Right, I got that. But physically, why do different timelines diverge? When an action happens, is a force of energy so HUGE released, that is creates another timeline? Because it would take a LOT to create a whole 'nother timeline; it doesn't just happen.

I have no idea.

Do you have any proof this timeline-splitting occurs? Visited any alternate history, or seen the equations supporting it?

Just because you yourself don't understand something doesn't mean you can't support it. It's a part of quantum physics, something that takes a Ph.D in to even begin to understand. But I trust the scientists who do understand it.

Another good answer. I'm just wondering where the proof is.

I'd say yes, but if I time it right I could get a little more mileage out of it.

Question: what is the deal with the US? Why do they not adopt the metric system?

HOW DID I MISS THIS!!
Emphasize your questions more please.

The US is inherently disinclined toward the metric system for several reasons,
1. Change in fundamental values (such as standard measurements) scare the majority of the more conservative or traditionalist (don't know which) people in America.
2. School systems and roads decided to take a cold turkey approach and make everything totally impossible for people (who don't know the metric system) to understand, which made everyone complain.
3. The metric system doesn't have many political movements in America and no one is going to try and get a conversion method going until a genuine scientist attempts to run for an office in the government.

("Blitai maps" are great)

quick answer is its easier to learn then metric and we like it more

OT: more questions for you!

how is a raven like a writeing desk?

why do people still fall for cannon rushes in starcraft 2?

why does the french government(not their people mind you) keep insaulting the US?

AND finaly

what is the most dangerous country to visit?

what is the most dangerous country to visit?

1) No, the metric system is actually constructed in a way that is much easier to figure out, if it is taught from the beginning as opposed to after one has already learned the other system of measurement, because it it devised on a common base. Meanwhile, the Imperial system (I think the "American" [technically British] system is called that, isn't it?) is based on how big the average foot was, how big the average thumb was, and then didn't have any other bases and just randomly made shit up.

2) Because Poe wrote on both
2) Because there's a B in both and an N in neither
2) Because they both have quills
2) Because they are both not made out of cheese
2) because the both produce flat notes, and are nevar backwards.
3) Because humans playing such strategy games don't often think their opponent is better/more violently inclined than they are and will largely forget about the strategy in the moment.
4) Because the French government is full of the same kind of stuck up assholes that fill up all the other governments, and currently those stuck up assholes are pissed off at our stuck up assholes.
5) Hmm tough one, I'd have to say Russia, why? BECAUSE BOILING WATER FREEZES IN MID-AIR.
If that isn't the most dangerous thing I've ever heard, Siberia is a giant oasis of plant-life in the middle of a giant lagoon....on fire.

OP!
Y U NO Tits or GTFO?

(couldn't think of a genuine question, dont want thread to die...)

1) ... Translated I think you said: "Why didn't you call for female breasts or tell others to get the fornication out?"

...Because I'm asexual and have no interest in the mammary glands of women.
I guess.


2) Thank you for your concern over my thread's mortality.

Why does waking up in the morning suck for me?

Because (and I'm guessing this from your avatar) you watch My little pony in a (possibly) near obsessive manner, this causes you to force your brain to cease all melatonin production while you watch your show, which makes it produce extra at night, which means that you wake up earlier than you're biologically inclined to.
So your brain flips you off by making melatonin while you're awake, which just makes you angry, tired, and sore in all of your currently operating limbs due to a lack of sufficient blood flow.
