Alternate Realities

This blog contains my thoughts and opinions with a minimal amount of research. It's not necessarily factual!

I recently heard that string theorists say that they can prove that there are eleven different dimensions that currently exist. What this tells me is that if there are eleven different dimensions, than each of those dimensions would contain an alternate reality. Now, if there are eleven different realities, then in those eleven different realities there are eleven dimensions. That could go on forever, but we will stop at one. This results in 39,916,800 alternate realities. Simply stated, for each dimension there are that many more alternate realities. (ex. 1d = 1 reality, 2d = 2*1 or 2 realities, 3d = 3*2*1 or 6 realities, so, 11d = 11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 or 39,916,800 realities) Now, here's where things begin to get complicated. Since there are somewhere around seven billion people in this world you have to consider a few more factors.
First off, those 39,916,800 alternate realities are based on a single person at a single moment. The next thing you have to consider is the fact that every decision you make changes which of those alternate realities becomes your true reality. Every decision we make changes the current reality. For example; every decision made in Afghanistan is effecting our reality in the United States. This means that the entire population of this world is interdependent. Since there are seven billion people in the world, you have to multiply 39,916,800 times 7,000,000,000 giving you 279,417,600,000,000,000 or 2.79 * 10^17. The next twist to consider is time. 2.79 *10^17 is how many realities there are at this very second. So, every second compounds and the result is 6. * 10^1046 realities every minute. That's a lot of zero's. The last question I have is, "How many alternate realities have there been?" I'm not doing the math on this for two reasons: 1) It's late and my brain couldn't function that much longer, and 2) It's impossible. The only way to do it would be to know the population of the world at every given second since the beginning of human existence. Based on Christian beliefs, this would be around 6,000 years. There are 188,697,600,000 seconds in 6,000 years. Good luck with that.

Just think. If Shakespeare hadn't decided to write plays, you might have been a billionaire. And no, those realities aren't related... or are they?
