How to Communicate with Yourself in an Alternate Universe

The concept of infinity can be hazy and confusing. If our universe is infinite and expands forever, does that mean that every possible version of everything must exist? If so there would be incalculable versions of us on different planets who have already altered their life or somewhere down the road will. Now subtracting the versions of yourself that already made a different decision somewhere, think of the you’s who are still living the same life as you but somewhere in the future will deviate from the path. These countless versions of you are also currently reading a philosophical blog post that probably stopped making sense a while ago.

Get ready to experience that hollow feeling that you get when things get too philosophical and your life momentarily becomes a tangle of uncertainty. Lets think back to the versions of yourself that are still reading this. If you point up at the sky (for dramatic effect) and yell “Hi me!” then the you’s who are still on the same course as you also just pointed at the sky and yelled “Hi me!” Then comes the moment of realization that you all just acknowledged each other’s existence. The innumerable versions of you on other planets somewhere in this infinite expanse were just connected in this realization. So if the cosmos really are never-ending, and every possible deviation of life must exist, then whenever you feel lonely you can connect with the versions of you with a simple thought or a point to the sky and a “Hi me!”
