Have you ever entertained the notion of such a possibility? That your life, in the boundless expanse of the universe, has, in fact, repeated countless times and will continue to do so indefinitely?
Some may counter: the universe has a clear beginning and size, it's not truly infinite.
In the realm of physics, this is indeed the case. But within the realm of imagination, there exist more intriguing scenarios. Now, imagine yourself living in an online game.
As a character in the game, how does your existence manifest? Are you the same "you," tirelessly repeating the same words to countless players, or are there myriad parallel "yous," each corresponding to every individual player? Or perhaps, somewhere in between: you consistently believe you live in a unique world, leading a singular life, yet in truth, this "world" and "you" have already repeated and will continue to repeat countless times? Even within this overarching "eternity," countless "cycles" can be delineated—each containing the outcomes of all free will, with specific choices repeating endlessly. In this context, you possess a state comprised of "eternal cycles of eternal cycles," infinitely bound across dimensions of time and space.
In another perspective: as a character in the game, each interaction with a player initiates the flow of time for you, prompting choices in your life. For your consciousness, each choice appears "unique;" yet the weight carried by these choices may not be singular but rather infinite.
Of course, you know, reality isn't a networked game. Thought experiments remain just that—thought experiments. However, from a statistical standpoint, within the Sea of Quanta (the Sea of Data in a broader sense), the likelihood of a bubble universe spontaneously arising is far greater than that of a bubble universe derived from a civilized world. And on a more concrete level, in everyday life, encountering humans born from the Sea of Data is likely a common occurrence; perhaps, as a reader of this text, you yourself belong to this category?
So, when you apply this logic behind such common occurrence to the thought experiment just presented, can you still argue it's merely a thought experiment, devoid of any semblance of reality?
"Your life, in the boundless expanse of the universe, has, in fact, repeated countless times and will continue to do so indefinitely."
