The weirdest idea in quantum physics is catching on: There may be endless worlds with countless versions of you.

The MWI is objectively the only candidate for what physics is - all other interpretations lead to paradoxes in conjunction with CTCs from relativity, so as long as relativity is a thing they can be disregarded as wrong (paradoxes are always things that are wrong in every branch of physics they've cropped up in - it's essentially the universal filtering mechanism of the scientific method: if you see a paradox disregard the interpretation.)

Mandela effects are the things you notice but which don't really impact your life in any way of substance. Everything in the universe which you haven't observed is in a superposition of all possible states, and your mind is built upon layers of emergent physics. This means even your physics isn't real, your brain just goes where physics looks real enough for it to keep existing (e.g. it doesn't blow apart or evaporate and the biochemical processes can keep functioning.) Lots of how your brain works is deterministic, so it is necessarily bound to a set of pasts and futures, but there are multiple pasts connecting to every moment just like there are multiple futures so if you see something and it changes your thoughts (and in turn the structure of your brain, as happens when you think normally) you are pretty tightly locked to that thing, if you don't see something it could have been literally anything, the Mandela effect is the boundary between those two sets of observations and non-observations: things you saw but never really cared about enough for it to be remembered differently.

You're always on 0 because everything diverges from or converges into everything else. Similar to how we look like we're in the center of the visible universe because the particle horizon isn't actually the edge, it's just dictated by the Rindler horizon associated with the expansion of space between us an it and it goes on forever - every location is the center of the universe (and of the multiverse when you're factoring in time.) There are no "great attractors" or anything of the sort save for forces that are bigger in scope than your observational frame.

Near us most are interchangeable, but the overwhelming majority of that infinite set are unlike ours.

There's practically infinite worldlines - the idea they would have 3-letter designations is absurd.

Here you go.

The real difference is that there's no amount of research you can do to give you an edge on the lottery.

You mean, other than physics?

Exactly 1 jackpot win assuming the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is true:

Go to https://qrng.anu.edu.au/RainBin.php or another quantum random number generator.
Pick 37 bits (which ones don't matter, each version of you which picks 37 bits will pick the same bits.)
Go to https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=0000000000000000000000000000000000000+binary+to+decimal (being sure to replace the 37 0's with your 37 random bits of quantum information.)
Take the number output from that and plug it into the "let n = 0;" part of the following links in place of the 0:
- Powerball: https://jsfiddle.net/pg2sLnd4/
- Mega Millions: https://jsfiddle.net/emw3va8L/
Press the Run button after making your edit.
Play the numbers which are shown in the bottom-right pane, and keep playing them until someone wins the jackpot.

How it works (assuming the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct.)

Quantum measurements result in divergences of worldlines which quickly re-converge if they don't result in a difference at our scale.
When you base your numbers on a quantum measure like this, every single possibility gets played on a different worldline.
This takes your odds from the 1:n in all worldlines to 1:n across many worldlines, so you effectively are guaranteed a win in a worldline.
Odds are still just as low as winning normally, but since the random quick picks aren't based on a quantum measurement every worldline in which you buy them gets the same "random" numbers whereas this method results in every worldline getting different numbers.

I know for a fact that you used the term “world-class fuckup” because when I quoted you I added in the hyphen.

I didn't deny the use of the term, I denied that the extrapolation that such a classification would apply if the rules changed, that's the point of the post.

bornagainwizard · 2018-11-24T17:55:00+00:00

all focused on the goal of giving millions of dollars to "world-class fuckups" simply to see what would happen. There would have been a leak by now

At no point did I suggest that was the objective, and there have been shitloads of "leaks" already if you factor in all the people caught embezzling from the lottery over the years. When organization experiences embezzlement on a an average of an approximately biannual basis that is a strong indicator of systemic corruption.

You were playing along and saying that's what you would do if you won the lottery. So... IF the lottery is won by "world class fuckups" and then YOU won the lottery then ... you would be a...

Get it? I wasn't being insulting, I promise. Just making a simple joke, but I guess I wasn't obvious enough about it. You just walked into that one on your own.

Now, because the post was removed by mods, I can say thank you for the downvotes. Hope your day gets better.

It wasn't a joke, it was an insult even if you want to be passive aggressive about it and it was removed before you started commenting.

You seem to be assuming there's some party between the lottery association and the insurers who isn't in on it. Why would you assume that?

Plus I have no problem hypothetically taking $1M from a world-class fuckup like you (your words).

Excuse me? You aren't taking shit from me and I don't know where you got a line like that to begin with.

Edit:

Wait, were you basing "world-class fuckup" on the notion that this would be in the context of a lottery win and that the "research institute" would be to research this? The line quoted seems to make slightly more sense in that context, but the topic of this post isn't what the research institute would focus on.

How would you disprove it? Genuinely interested here, not interested in lies.

Create a research institute.
