There is a truly random element in the laws of physics, ok? When you observe in it truly collapses in an unpredictable way. Wrihte as, many, many copies of the universe, and it's not clear what you mean when you say my universe would be the same. Theory can be very fun and rewarding. I wish i had more time to do it.
Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
