Multiple Worlds

I read an article in Scientific American a couple years ago about the Multiple Worlds Theory.

Chew on this: [wikipedia article]

[The multiple-worlds-theory is an] interpretation of quantum mechanics that claims to resolve all the “paradoxes” of quantum theory by allowing every possible outcome to every event to define or exist in its own “history” or “world”.

So, theoretically, if the universe is infinite as the leading theory suggests, this would mean, on average, that for every so and so distance (some ridiculous exponential number of light years) away from Earth, there would be a world that is exactly the same as ours. This would also mean that an infinite number of our duplicate worlds exists as well. This ALSO means that for every action or event that can happen, it does happen, only in another world almost the same as ours except for that event.

So, tomorrow you could be deciding on whether to have an omelet or scrambled eggs for breakfast, and whatever you don’t decide on is decided on a gazillion billion fillion light years from here. I think that this is undoubtedly the case (IF the theory of the universe being infinite is correct). All those movies about going to an alternate universe or dimension might not be so science fiction after all.
