Abstract:  The Joseph_sixpack hypothesis is that there are 
only two correct answers to the question of whether parallel 
worlds actually exist.

One answer is that:   Yes they do.
The other answer is:  No they don't.

Joe suspects that the question:  How can both be correct?  
has already entered your mind.  Well it is your fault, you 
didn't keep the door locked.  :-)

The literature of parallel worlds begins with our favorite 
readsay book of divine aspirants and cultural enforcement 
wherein it is written:  In the beginning God created the 
heavens and the earth.

Like... already we got two of them parallel worlds right 
away.  ...but with a distinction.  we don't exist in both at 
the same time.  Soon after we run across the third, Hell.

Okay so now we are up to three parallel worlds and counting.  
But same, same, in so far as occupancy is concerned.  We can 
only find a single home in one unique setting.

But this is metaphysics within literature and not physics.


                      Strolling Pot Bangers?

Okay, the strolling pot bangers (prophets) try to alert the 
prurient inhabitants of the current city of its undesired 
destination to the alternate institution.  Somewhat like 
Damascus, ala Saul aka Paul), to which they, due to their 
conduct, are headed.  (if there is a pronoun reference 
problem here, it is because it is deliberate.)

The problem for larval humanity is God's 4th Dimensional 
Theoretical Perfect Justice, as well as His Theoretically 
Perfect Mercy, especially when it is applied to everybody 
without any exceptions whatsoever...  We can run but we 
can't hide.

His Name might be Holy, and therefore undiscussible, but the 
results, the sight and sounds of His Judgments due to, and 
upon, our conduct, are not.  The earth and her seas are 
strewn with moral wreckage of foolish ships who sail by the 
light of the evenings darkness.  i'll leave it to the reader 
to assemble today's data of darkness.

"War is Hell" or so goes the adage.

Those in Hell are thought to be damned.

Soldiers go to war.

Therefore, they have been, and are, damned.

Soldiers who return from war have known Hell.

Well, joe thinks Hell is far worse than war.

In war, you at least have the cooperation of your fellow 
soldiers and some logistic support.

In Hell, not even that comfort exists.

In theory, it is a totally Godless place, beyond even, the 
temporary brutality of the fire of bullets, bombs, and 
napalm.

That Hell is a little man made Hell.

Most 'little hells' last about 4-5 years.

For me, that would be quite hell enough.

The Institution of Darkness does a much better job, its Hell 
lasts for an eternity.

As Bernanos suggests in his book, "the other side of the 
mountain" their destiny is stone.  Perhaps clay buried in 
tombs, perhaps partially visible through erosion, perhaps 
stone.  Of which type of stone, Jesus referenced, could be 
used by the Father with which to build temples, if He so 
desired.

In theory, Hell would be a place of the Master Musicians 
score of an eternal symphony of murder.  Analogous to the 
strange creatures of the deep that exists in the sea, only 
to approach the surface late at night to feed and view the 
moon, and then sink to the bottom when the first indication 
of an approaching dawn revealed itself.  At darkness then 
and during, each consuming the other in order to survive.
A totally hopeless situation.

Abandon Hope all ye who enter there perhaps is more than 
just a sign over the stone entryway that was noticed by 
David.

...because i dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell. 



But let's lighten up a bit and get back to our question of 
whether there are really an infinite number of parallel 
worlds.

Metaphysically, there are a number of parallel worlds, 
composed of two legged creatures, but not an infinite 
number.

Physics offers the hypothesis that their untwo-legged number 
is infinite...

Infinite... that is a big word.  a big number.  the 
permutations on particles and their locations in a parallel 
universe hypothesis would be:

GOOGLEPLEX(googleplex-1)googleplex! (factorial).

One is for the number of particles, the second is for their 
variation, the third is for TIME, Quantum Time down to 
planck's constant for the shortest possible time slice.

Jeepers! their may even be a forth or a fifth power 
involved.  This is a job for professional mathematians, not 
a joe.

The parallel world permutations generate a way too big a 
number for reality.  Therefore parallel universes in real 
physics do not exist, notwithstanding the symbol-minded 
quantum baloney.  Given the final answer to the factorial 
number, that is not even a hypothesis, but a fact.

(but since joe is reluctant to step on the quantum world's 
mathematical toes, let me remind all that this is just a 
joseph_sixpack intuition with all the limitations attending 
thereto...).  If you like parallel worlds, go for it...

The main issue here is defining just what is meant by a 
"parallel world" in the first place.  The metaphysician's 
parallel worlds of human organization is quite different 
from the physicist's parallel worlds of mathematical 
potential reality.  The subjects are as different as night 
and day.  And their reality is just a different.

Joe can offer no comment as to the validity of the latter, 
other than the one above.  it all depends on how symbol 
minded you are.

Which one in actually exists is up to the observer's 
opinion.  Notwithstanding their opinion however, the reality 
may well be otherwise. who really knows...

God controls the reality, we create the guesswork and 
opinion.

For starters, the metaphysician's parallel worlds are worlds 
exclusively composed of feet.  two feet.  It is a world of 
social organization and human distance and human alienation.  
A two legged silence, like in the song, "...like a cancer 
grows."

Vast populations of humanity in substantial isolation from 
one another. The white larval's (pre-judgment) unaware of 
the approaching reality of their imminent Dies Irae as well 
as the post-judgment existence of those who are creating 
their fall, and of those set to thwart it.

The string theorists and m-theorists live in their own 
mathematically created worlds.  Are the worlds of the 
mathematicians real?  I suppose to them they are.  Are they 
real to us?  Are they real to God?  Interesting question, i 
am glad you asked it...

Just what is GOOGLEPLEX(googleplex-1)googleplex! (factorial) anyhow?
