conclude that it is reasonable that we may jump from one reality to another as we move along time. Therefore, nothing is a fact, whether it has happened, is happening, or will happen. Everything is just an expression of probability with no one or zero value. So, there is such a thing as infinite improbability, and infinite probability. But not definite probability and definite improbability. So, the probability of an event occurring is 1/infinity to 1-1/infinity. What does infinite improbability and infinite probability imply? Well, infinite improbability and infinite probability are found when infinite possibilities are present. If I toss a six sided standard die in the air, what is the probability that it will come up with six dots on top? Well, most people will immediately say

1/6. This is not true. Why? Because when you calculate probability as we are taught, we immediately rule out the improbable, but not impossible outcomes. It is possible that the die will be destroyed by say a laser before it lands, or a meteor may pass by the earth and disrupt gravity, causing the die to fly into orbit, or the laws of physics may change for an instant causing who knows what to happen. The point is, there are an infinite number of things that could possibly happen, and therefore an probability and improbability factor which includes improbability and probability factors from other events happening. Therefore something can be improbable but not impossible. This may help to explain quantum physics, where things behave in strange ways they should not, at least not by

the laws of physics as we know them. It may be, that when examining things on the quantum scale, we are actually observing the behavior of particles as we shift from one reality to another where the laws of physics are slightly different in each. Therefore, nothing has to behave the same way all the time. As soon as you’re not watching it, it could do something entirely different. What about all those theories and formulas people have come up with? Well, when someone creates a theory or formula to explain something, they’re giving you something that gives an approximate description of that event. Theories and formulas are never 100% perfect. For example, if you graph the behavior of an object as it moves, and you write an equation to explain the graph that you see, you do not

take into account behavior outside that range of the graph. There may be subtle changes that would wreak havoc with your equations if you only knew about them. But you don’t. Why? Because it’s impossible to graph something for an infinite amount of time with infinite detail. For example, Newton’s theories are pretty good, the held up when we went to the moon. However, over large (interstellar and intergalactic) distances, they won’t be perfect. Also, flaws in them become more apparent as you approach the speed of light, and they’re only reasonably correct up to about 80% the speed of light. Einstein was even closer. His theories on relativity are very precise, and they work well, but they are still probably flawed at some point. Chaos theory may be even closer, but

since it is generated by people and machines made by people, it won’t be perfect. In short, our chaos is really too structured to explain the structure of the universe, which is chaotic. What about paradox? Well, paradox deals with a conflict in events. For instance, it has been theorized that time travel is possible. This presents the question of “What if someone goes back and changes something?”, and more importantly, “What if they mess up and prevent their own birth? How will they ever travel back in time to do it?”. Well, this is the classic example of paradox. Now, based on the model of reality described so far, how would we explain what happens with a paradox. Well, if we constantly move along the positive time axis, and there are an infinite number of divergences

or “forks in the road” for each event, then it is logical to assume that one who goes back along the time axis and alters an event will follow a different pathway then they did the first time around. Therefore, a paradox will is not likely to destroy the universe, rather, you would find yourself in a reality that changed from the point at which you altered it. Therefore, this means reality can even loop back on itself, and still function just fine. There would merely be another set of infinite realities coexisting with the original set, with the defining event being your alteration of another event. How does all this apply to everyday life, and what does it all mean to us? This is probably the most important question of all. What does it all mean; how does it apply to me.
