Already sifted, PART ONE, used a different title.

When I first heard they were doing DLC for Infinite, I was distinctly unimpressed. I didn't think the story needed anything else.

But I like where they're going with this. Fits neatly into the parallel universes aspect of Infinite.

Your video, The True Science of Parallel Universes, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe...

This doesn't make any sense to me at all.

If you have two monkeys standing next to two monkeys, you have four monkeys. In 5 seconds, unless another monkey walks up or one of them has a baby, you still have 4 monkeys.

There's no "laws of mathematics" here, it's just counting. Unless someone changes the what the words mean, you still count the same amount of monkeys. Or, perhaps, some external agent fundamentally alters the situation by adding hidden monkeys, or making invisible monkeys, or creating parallel universe monkeys that you can't count - but even in those situations, you're still just counting monkeys and missing some.

2+2 is still 4. That's a certainty. You can argue whether or not it means anything, has any value, or whether or not those monkeys are even real. But none of that matters. There's still 4 monkeys that I can see. Of that, I can be certain.

You don't need to justify "universal laws" without a lawgiver. They don't care whether you justify them or not. They don't care if you attribute them to Jesus, Odin or Zeus. They just are what they are. That's kind of the point. That wavelength is gonna be that wavelength, because it is. Just as 4 monkeys will continue to be 4 monkeys, until the situation changes.

Mispeaking is when Romney/Obama accidentally introduce their VPs as the POTUS.

This is an ideological belief he thought he could get away with and knows other people believe in too. These are the same people that think most if not all rape victims actually wanted it/deserved it

He honestly believes he can still win his race. Even Republicans have reported that he lives in his own parallel universe.

Throw this fucker, and his party, to the wolves.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say that some infinite sets are more dense than others, rather than bigger?

Whether or not the numbers of an infinite set could theoretically be listed both sets are still infinite in size.

If, for example, we imagine two infinitely sized parallel universes, one with 1 star per billion cubic light years and the other with 10 stars per billion cubic light years. We wouldn't say that one of the universes was 10 times bigger than the other - they are both infinite.

The answer is simple....

Ignore his video posts and his comments when he is talking about religion and now politics.

Starve the beast, say I. Deprive it of oxygen.

I know it is hard -- it takes true strength of will to not respond. If any one of you cracks, that little bit of oxygen is all that is needed to keep the fire going.

is there anyway to let shinyblurry's submissions and posts go into a sort of parallel universe videosift that no one actually uses?

Yep, definitely a plothole. I only noticed it a a while ago when seeing the movie for perhaps the 20th time...definitely felt like I should've noticed it before...and suddenly you can't not notice it.

If it bugs you too much and since it's time travel, you can always imagine some rules that will make it fit. Examples:

1) Doc and Marty are time travelers and thus isolated from time changes that happen around them. The future that old Biff returns to is actually different, but since they're just standing outside in the street they don't notice it.

2) The future old Biff returns to is the same, because all the events including Marty's retrieval of the Almanac already took place. However, since time is still a straight (but distorted) line to Doc and Marty, they first have to go "back" to the altered present, then go to the past and so on.

3) There are no time lines, it's all parallel universes.

First of all, your "statistics" is anything but. I don't know where you're pulling these pseudo-mathematical concepts from. Statistically "proving" or "disproving" a deity exists is simply fallacious.

Secondly, there are different types of infinity. See "cardinal numbers".>> ^Drachen_Jager:

That is not possible. If it were possible, one of the "truth statements" you could make would be. "There is an evil god in one of the parallel dimensions with the power and the will to utterly destroy all parallel dimensions now, in the past and in the future."
Obviously we are here, therefore you cannot make an infinite number of "truth statements". There must be some limit. Either Hawking is wrong or (more likely) you have misinterpreted him or learned from someone else who misinterpreted him.

In response to the Stephen Hawking Infinite Universes and Reality theme... (Videosift ate my quote...)

Not saying I don't agree as it sounds like brain vomit with no proof, but an interesting idea. But, if the system that you speak of is balanced then there is also a Universe where they protect everything, canceling out any effect on us. This will always be true with "parallel Universes" as they exist only to be cancelled out elsewhere.

Quantum mechanics takes it one step further and says that if such a Universe knew about us in anyway our Universes would become entangled and our combined wave functions would collapse and create a new one. It would also mean that the "Evil God" is now beholden to OUR physics as well as theirs; our reality would become a hybrid of the two realities. This potentially would make the "Evil God" look like an idiot, destroy his conduit for power, or worse make him a literal baby under our combined mechanics. In fact he may lose any ability to control a single iota of minutiae of our now, combined realities.

This becomes a problem with our "classical" Gods, for if they interact with our reality then they must obey some physical rules; this lends credence to being able to dismiss a supreme power either MAN-MADE or a GOD. As both have to obey rules and these rules allow others to balance the control the "God or Man" can have over time. Truthfully, the rules/physics are more powerful than any God could hope to be.

They will always dictate and give definition from one polar opposite to the next; or three opposites, four, five, six... Math works because all it does is give meaning to boundaries that have always existed.
