Only those of us who believe in reincarnation will have to worry about a 2-sun solar system.
A few thousand reincarnations is all it would require. Then we’ll be wishing we had done something about getting off this solar system when we had the chance.
Not sure how that works. Is it certain that the iteration of our reincarnated selves will happen to believe in reincarnation?
Also is reincarnation limited to Earth? If so, what happens if there is a big drop in population? Are the souls of people put in a queue to be assigned when the population grows again--provided it does? And if perhaps souls that were from other parts of the universe are assigned to creatures on Earth, then they really wouldn't be at fault and shouldn't blame themselves. Morever, what about when the population of people (or whatever set of creatures we are cycled through) grows--does this create new souls if there are no souls in queue?
Now, I think reincarnation is right as far as people not just being physical processes...we are something that can play a part in a vast physical process. But I suspect it is wrong thinking we are therefore recycled along a timeline. When somebody is born it seems to be because of a particular physical event (pregnancy followed by birth) that seems to cause the birth. Its not clear to me how this can be reasonably reconciled with a person being born because there is a soul that exited the mortal coil and ready to come back in, unless the latter system was very flexible in some accommodating way.
Seems to me souls do not have the same kind of relationship to time that physical processes do, anymore than the actors in a play or movie have the same relationship to the timeline in the fictional story as the characters they play. In such a relationship the timeline of the movie or play and events can have their own cause and effect that fits together nicely because the actors and the director are orchestrating it from a vantage outside of the timeline. But this is not as good an analogy as I would like, because actors still are in a similar kind of timeline in reality and during the acting the timelines are really the same. Whereas the soul I suspect transcends time in a more fundamental way.
The good news is, the Earth and/or human species will have been wiped out by then. Whew, that was close.
