Dear Blogger Friends,
If you've read The Spiral Vortex and God's Vacation you know in both books I refer to our universe as a holographic projection of God's, aka Popeye's dream, and that there are an infinite number of Gods dreaming universal dreams and they all dance around the Monad like whirling Dervishes.
Also, in The Spiral Vortex David Cohen learned about doppelgängers while trying to understand the nature of supernatural events in his life.
Well here's an excerpt from a great article in the New York Times about infinite universes, doppelgängers and other multiplicities:
“If you take a finite physical system and a finite set of states, and you have an infinite universe in which to sample them, to randomly explore all the possibilities, you will get duplicates,” said Anthony Aguirre, an associate professor of physics who studies theoretical cosmology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"Not just rough copies, either. “If the universe is big enough, you can go all the way,” Dr. Aguirre said. “If I ask, will there be a planet like Earth with a person in Santa Cruz sitting at this colored desk, with every atom, every wave function exactly the same, if the universe is infinite the answer has to be yes.”
"In short, your doppelgängers may be out there and many variants, too, some with much better hair who can play Bach like Glenn Gould. A far less savory thought: There could be a configuration, Dr. Aguirre said, “where the Nazis won the war.”
