Hello friends - you'll be very happy to know that Exurb1a recently had a great video addressing some of these points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv79l1b-eoI

What about the elephants?

Yup - annoying. The answer seems to be always elusively fractalian; the deeper you go, the deeper it goes.

IMO none of this is really operating on a high level of abstraction. We can observe black holes, we can observe that they attract light and matter, etc etc. That said - I agree w/ the point about whether or not these questions even mak

Epic - this fits into category 2 with the "big crunch" situation, but the nothingness / heat death of the universe one also seems possible. I think the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole consisting of all black h

Sorry :( I feel for you; I wish I had a trigger warning on existential questions this AM too.

Yes, note that I say the equal universes situation only occurs if the conditions are the same (which I agree is unlikely). They would have to be exactly the same to result in copy universes given even the slightest variation in initial cond

I think asking the question makes sense even if the answer is "no answer". It's interesting to think about and to explore, and helpful to get the input of others. By the "sameness" point - I mean that in a determini

Very frustrating and you end up with the same problem. I have some fun thoughts around this problem which is maybe just as a lonely sculptor might sculpt a human-like figure that they can converse with to feel less alone (and from "one

This is very interesting - thank you for sending. His "cyclic cosmology" somewhat fits into 2 but with a different flavor. And given you reach a stage of maximum entropy during the heat death of the universe prior to folding back

I agree - and why? My fun answer for this one is that there is a future civilization facing collapse / extinction / "great filter" and they're (humans or AI) running infinite life simulations to try to determine wha

Yes, that was my case (2). Spatiotemporal marble bounded by big bang and expansion edge. But it's not very satisfying - what is outside? Why? It does align w/ the "eternal recurrence" concept.

Your first link and one of the videos there ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeRgFqbBM5E ) was a huge relief and interesting dive into the q - thanks again for sending it.

Thank you for your feedback! I'll definitely check these out. The whole "simulation theory" thing seems to be a fun idea. Are we living in a petri dish experiment aimed at finding an optimal outcome? An experiment where life

As an investor, these financials are so sexy. Historical quarterly data presented, cash flow statement presented quarterly, so many small examples of excellence and thoughtfulness in how the figures are presented.
