MULTIPLE SELVES.

MULTIPLE SELVES. I began this blog with this post about how the radiation from the big bang still affects our radio reception. I could understand what that meant. I don’t understand the argument that: ”you …are more likely to be some momentary fluctuation in a field of matter and energy out in space than a person with a real past born through billions of years of evolution in an orderly star-spangled cosmos. Your memories and the world you think you see around you are illusions.” Further, “some calculations result in an infinite number of free-floating brains for every normal brain, making it ‘infinitely unlikely for us to be normal brains.’” This article tries to explain how cosmologists are trying to deal with the consequences of infinite space and time. As one cosmologist says, one has to “think about probabilities in an infinite universe in which everything that can occur, does occur, infinitely many times.”
