Never forget

Okie dokie, here'a wild idea that struck me recently.

There's a time theory which states that every choice, every decision creates a new timeline. This leads to near infinite timelines. However, this theory assumes -conscious- thought. Thus, no timelines were created until man came around, no? Silly.

My thinking is that EVERY decision creates a new reality. Conscious, subconsious, quantum, etc. decisions from every creature reflect a new reality. In fact, we might say that every moment of time is delineated by one of these events. Not just seconds, not nanoseconds, but every moment of time, down to the smallest possible unit (hehe, atomic time :).

Now, let's say that moving from one stream to an alternate stream is actually much easier than we ever imagined. Since each second produces a functional infinity of alternate universes or timelines sliding readily from one to another /could/ be easy since all the closest ones happen to be closely related to the decisions that we know to have been made.

Okay, now take into account that we have no idea why memory is faulty. For all practical purposes, the way we store memories should be perfect. Well, what if it is? I mean, what if we are able to perfectly store every memory we ever had? But, here's the hitch, every time you "forget" something, or remember incorrectly, it's actually that you come from a universe or timeline whare it actually happened differently.

Deja Vu? What if you actually did just experience that moment, and now you've shifted to a universe where it didn't happen the first time? Forgot a birthday? maybe your original universe didn't actually let you hear it? Ever had your whole perception of the world shift radically? Perhaps you just shifted to a place where the world is actually different.

If ya really want to have your head messed with, ask me about the secret of mirrors... :)
