If there was an infinite number of universes, with an infinite number of possibilities for each universe, there would be at leat one universe in which the people destroyed all the other ones.

The infinite possibilites hypothesis is a weak answer to a complex question that we do not yet understand.

Hey, chill! Give us time. :-)

An infinite number of universes doesn't necessarily imply all possible universes will be realized; e.g., if there are in fact an infinite number of them, then there are infinite subsets that aren't exhaustive of the whole thing. So just because you've got an infinite number of them in your basket doesn't mean you've captured every possibility.

There are so many errors in this article it's ridiculous. For example, he presents the infinite universes theory as though it were an established fact, which isn't true by any means. Still, fun article.

In order to really understand this, you'd have to also understand Psychology, theology, and even networking to some extent. Each branch has it's own jargon, but each branch has similar views (Even though none will ever admit it).
I've been into all of these things for at least the past 24 years. Actually, a more adequate word would be "obsessed."
This entire science is a lot deeper than most people understand. There are things that are made from things that are unseen. Just because we can't see things happening in our 3-D world doesn't mean they don't exist or happen.

Probabilities are the key to everything. Nothing is carved in stone. Absolutely nothing.

A small example , sort of, would be the Web Bots. Quantum physics holds the theory that conscienceness has an effect on everything. The Web Bots deal with cyberspace - which is mental, or world conscienceness.
The Bots have been able to predict the future (To some extent. The creators have to guess what they're finding based on the language. They're not "mind" readers). Their latest prediction was that something would happen on Nov. 5th that would make world news. A disaster of some sort. Well, that's when the Fort Hood terrorist attack hit. Coincidence? Maybe, but they were specific with their warning. They said specifically November 5th. (google it) They also predicted 9/11 in September.

So, if cyberspace can give hints about future events, what role does world conscienceness have in their creation?

Or one in which intelligent life has communicated with all other ones...I agree that the infinite universes with infinite possibilities is a weak hypothesis.
