Based upon your reference to Schrödinger’s cat, and your assumption that every interaction that can happen will happen given time, which paraphrases Everet

- Exactly, obviously no one knows. But, I’d like to think there’s the possibility that we return to another plane, and this reality is just like creating a new character. Won’t know till I die though.
- And I would argue you can’t prove anything about reality besides your perception and existence.
- I can understand why you find this argument compelling, but I think there are a few flaws in it. First of all, while the assumption that the universe is infinite may be necessary for reality to exist in only one plane of existence, it is not necessarily true. There are various cosmological models that suggest the universe may be finite but still exist in only one plane of existence.
Secondly, the assumption that consciousness is created by atomic-like particles is not well-supported by scientific evidence. While there is a lot we don't know about consciousness, current research suggests that it may be an emergent property of complex neural processes rather than a fundamental property of matter.
Finally, I think there are alternative explanations for why we are not experiencing multiple instances of ourselves in an infinite universe. For example, it is possible that there are physical constraints or natural barriers that prevent our consciousness from being reconstructed in other locations. Alternatively, it could be that consciousness is not something that can be reconstructed or duplicated in the way you suggest.
Overall, I think it's interesting to explore philosophical questions like this, but it's important to approach them with a critical eye and be open to alternative explanations and perspectives.
- Thank you for explaining your thought process and goals behind this post. While I may not agree with all of your assumptions and conclusions, I appreciate the effort you put into exploring these ideas and engaging in philosophical discussion.
In terms of your argument against atheism, I think it's important to clarify that atheism is simply the lack of belief in a deity or deities. It does not necessarily exclude the possibility of other planes of existence or forms of consciousness. However, I can see how your argument could be used to support the existence of some form of higher power or greater intelligence.
Overall, I think it's important to continue exploring and questioning our beliefs and assumptions about the nature of reality and consciousness. It's through these discussions and debates that we can gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
