Heard the most amazing theory today, I've been thinking about it since this morning, and only now have I been able to disproove it...
The Theory
Processing power is increasing an a fast rate, doubling every year or so. This will no doubt become a faster increase in years to come. Now imagine after a few billion years, the processing power available to us would be phenominal. So powerful infact, that we could create a replica of say, Earth, but 1,000 years in the past, as we see it to be.. As time went on we would eventually have the ability to create vast amounts of replica Universes, each a fraction of a second from the other. You would have billions and billions and billions of billions of 'fake' galaxies and one 'real' galaxy. Taking this into account, our current odds of being 'real are billions and billions and billions of billions to one.
The Disproof (is that a word?)
Chaos theory would mean that after a short while the universes would be unrecognisable from each other since atoms can't be modeled exactly. Wavefunctions associanted with them and their constituents are probabilities. Although this doesn't actually disproove it does show that the Universes would not have the same 'path'.
Pretty cool I thought :-)
