One Parallel Universe Theory
For every decision/choice you make, there is a parallel universe branching off, experiencing the decision/choice you DIDN’T follow.
Using the letter “Y” as an example: you start at the bottom of the stem of the “Y”; you come to a fork in the road, make a choice…and (for this example) you follow the path that goes to the right. So nothing happened at the left branch of the “Y”, right?
One theory says “wrong!” The left branch spurred the other choice to be followed in a parallel universe.
Some believe this entails each choice made daily (which is what I usually use for an example) – I believe that it is the major choices in our life that create these parallel universes.
What are your thoughts on this?

I am of the opinion that there are countless parallel universes existing simultaneously.
The “Y” theory explains it in rather simplified terms. For the “Y” theory to work, it would imply that time is still linear when time is not. Time is simultaneous, or in other words, there is no time.
All choices have already been made & all the myriad realities they exist in exist simultaneously, not in a straight line, but all in the same ‘space’ by some theories.
When you make a choice, all that is really happening is that you are picking which of these already existing realities you want to experience. In truth, you have already experienced all the consequences for all the possible choices you could have possibly made, hence the act of choosing is in actuality an illusion of sorts.
You’re not choosing an outcome. You are choosing an experience.
Just my perspective.
Wonderful view Silver! I agree with you that time is simultaneous (not linear).
You wrote, “When you make a choice, all that is really happening is that you are picking which of these already existing realities you want to experience.

I think that is easiest to understand view on parallel universe’s I have ever read! Thanks!
