universe expanding... world lines growing

hey guys, this is my first post, so sorry if i'm lacking experience.

i recently finished watching steins gate and am intrigued by the aspect of world lines.

if people are born every 4 seconds... then the number of total decisions made by a populous is growing... meaning the number of world lines are infinitely increasing... so universe would be expanding for each new world line created.

is my deduction realistic?

 
More or less. It's important to keep in mind that "world lines" (and the beautiful model of time that Steins;Gate provides) aren't really effected by humans or 'free will'. Just one's observation of them. There's an infinite amount, detailing every possible "configuration" of the universe. The world line model is just there as a useful abstraction to help you get the understanding of the plot. There's not literal new lines being magically created every time someone is born.

Wow, thanks for your clarification on my idea. :) yeah i see where your coming from, but i still think there could be a possibility that there are infinite parallel lines running.

 
Hey , it is funny ...before i watched Steins;Gate i thought time itself does not exist ...now well i am a bit confused and yet i have accept the possibility of time travel because never before i tried to think about time when putting Many Worlds Theory in my thinking ....it destroyed most of the paradoxes and now time travel makes sense ....

code_monkey , i like how you put it that universe is expanding because of the new wordlines being created..philosophical but if you think about it a bit more it makes sense because spreeding of the universe has direct effect on matter and antimatter and thus it has effect on us...and no matter how you put it as soon as something changes its state even by little , this current worldline changes.

thank you for your reply, and i think you made a moot point :) this topic has been a real question on my mind for the last month or so and im glad someone else sees my side! your point of small disturbances causing a ripple effect in an exponential way (leading to a world line shift) really does resound steins;gate. I believe it is a very sensible outcome relating to the theory of world lines as some simple logic can really prove this. i also think that in order for a world line to shift though, everyone on earth must be impacted in some way or the other (physically,mentally,socially...etc) and that the world line doesn't just shift because of some minor incident redone.i would love to hear more, thanks!

 
Hmm i do agree , but we can expand the world line theory by adding one main Macro world line (changes in it affect all living beings on planet) and as many micro world lines (changes in it affect one being or small group of them) as number of living beings. It would be nice to find some constant which would serve as a measure when change in world line is no longer Micro but becomes Macro. If we find that it would be possible to also create divergence number between word lines.

Bonus thoughts (just jumped inside my mind):

Also thing we could keep aside in mind but not forget is possiblity of Alien life in the universe. But changes in the past on their planets shouldnt really affect us much , unless they want to destroy Earth.

Big objects mostly dont obey the rules of quantum physics , that would make mission of sending a living human back to the past extremely hard. Thats why sending small msgs to the past is much more realistic.

yes yes and yes! i agree with all of you're statements. i am deeply interested in deep enigmas that haven't yet been explained :) i am quite sure of the presence of "aliens" but i really am not sure if they are really as smart or highly-developed as many assume. ive also been wondering if we are already capable of time travel, and are doing it in the sub-conscience part of our mind. i think this because at times i get this weird deja vu where i, at times, think of some situation (a year, a week, a day) at a random time, and then at whatever time, the exact same circumstances transpired. i could provide you with an example for some proof if you wish :)

 
Hmmm i think that Dejavu is quite interesting thing , but i think there are two types of it.

First type: is one in which you just feel the same exact thing already happened or similar. (that can be to some extent explained by classic psychology)

Second type: now this is interesting. When you dream something unusual , you remember it and then that exact morning , day or couple of days later....that exact thing happens. I saw explanation for this as that as soon as that event occurs your memory is instantly altered so you think you dreamed of it. That explanation is clearly wrong if you wrote on paper stuff you dreamed off.

Hmmm are we capable of time travel yet? Definitely not for time traveling big objects to the past , we may already have technology for sending smaller msgs to the past but again , we dont know how to exactly do that.....there are alot of theories but it is nonsense to just theorise all the time instead of actually testing it.

Note: For testing purposes it is best to send msg couple of hours or day or two to the past so your Macro-worldline will not be altered

yeah... now i regret not listening to my teacher about writing down all my dreams :( and yeah, there are too many theories about TT rather than any practical testing.
