Nope. For the zillionth time : "infinity" and "everything" are 2 very different concepts.
yup if everything that were possible occurred over an infinite number of universes then there would be a universe that somehow destroys all other universes. We are here ergo not every possibility is made a reality.
Everything after "if" is massive conjecture.
Unless that is in no way possible. In which case it could be that every possibility is made reality.
And who says that every movie you've seen is possible?
Oh, definitely not what I'm trying to say =P
I'm pointing out that "everything possible" does not necessarily include "a universe that somehow destroys all other universes".
I think SelfProgrammingError's proof of "not every possibility is made a reality" does not hold.
Honestly all we have is conjecture when it comes to something as unobservable and abstract as reasoning the rules of a multiverse. It's like trying to decide whether a particle in a state of superposition will taste sweet or salty.
Right, so you can see why I take issue with you doing (almost) exactly that. You said "if everything that were possible occurred... then there would be a universe that somehow destroys all universes".
This is completely unfounded conjecture. More than that, you used it as a way of logically showing that "not every possibility is made a reality". I'm saying that that logic is not sound at all, because the premise is just a complete stab in the dark.
P.S. I am aware that my writing often seems snarky/ill-mannered, but I really don't mean it to be, so sorry if I do come across that way.
That's a very good reasoning, will remember it :D
That would make every movie a documentary.
