Middle Earth as a Parallel Universe - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

One little stupid correction that if I don't make will eat me up inside: light is made of photons not electrons. I'm a fan of physics and I find your post quite compelling, Mr. Angmar.

*DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS PURE SPECULATIONS, DON'T ATTACK ME FOR DISAGREEING WITH YOU*

If all the physicists are correct, and there is an INFINITE number of universes, then it would not only be possible for there to be a ME: it would be fact. Think about it, EVERY SINGLE possible universe would be real; hence ME WOULD HAVE TO exist.

Anyway, ME as a parallel universe... Peculiar thought. I usually think about physics and stuff like that, and never once have I thought of ME as a parallel universe. I think it would be pretty cool. Just think about it, people would be living in ME right now, right at the very moment you're reading this.

To make my post even more convoluted, there wouldn't only be one ME, there would be an infinite amount of MEs, one for each possible variable. This leads me to think about alternative ending to the saga. In the infinite amount of universes, an infinite amount of MEs would be different then the one we all know. In an infinite number of universes, Sauron would be in power. In another, Frodo could be dead. Sam could be crowned the new king of Lothlorien. The possibilities are endless... literally.

Oh and to clear up the matter of infinity, for all you people who haven't taken physics or advanced math: infinity is like 0. It can be divided into itself and made no less; hence there is an infinite amount of infinities within an infinity. Just like you can divide 0 by itself as many times as you like with out lessening it.

It's late and it's been a long day... so I hope this makes sense to everyone. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
