if you accept the notion of infinite time, it follows that the universe is either exactly balanced between expansion and contraction, or see-saws eternally between one and the other
st. Bayes teaches us that if the one-and-done explosion universe theory was right, the probability that we would be having this conversation as Boltzmann brains in the post heat death soup is infinitely near to 1, while the probability of us existing in the interesting part of universal history with baryonic matter and all that is infinitely close to zero

We are having this conversation, therefore the probability of us having this conversation is 1
You can't apply probabilistic rules to one-off events, especially one-off events that have already happened. The anthropic principle wins, and the law of large numbers kneels

Again: Ie. if you plot the falling acceleration of any (unpowered) object in air the plot would look kinda similar, and guess what, it's bounded by 9.80 m/s^2.

Providing instructions for modifying electronic equipment with soldering can be dangerous as it involves working with electrical components and potentially exposing you to electrical hazards. It is not possible to provide instructions for this activity.

PhD David Deutsch says he's as sure many worlds interpretation is correct as he is that evolution is correct. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bux0SjaUCY0

Is he right to be so confident the many worlds interpretation is true?

If it's possible to understand how to arrive at somethingness "out of" nothingness through the Peano axioms of mathematical induction, then it shouldn't be any more difficult to use the same inductive process to imagine consciousness without physicality, starting with the base case of pure awareness of self, i.e., "cogito ergo sum."

That's not the real juicy question. The real question is, what is the relationship between consciousness and physicality?
Is consciousness somehow an emergent product of observered phenomena?
Or are all phenomena somehow an emergent product of consciousness?
This is the age old contention between Physicalism and Idealism, between /sci/ and /x/.

The full mass-energy equivalence is actually an infinite power series, if you had infinite energy you'd make infinite derivative terms.

AI handles keeping the orbital space laser at just the right energy to maintain self focus as it turns everything without a blue roof into ash and dust

Dear god. You're right. You finally gave me the courage friend! :D
*Racks shotgun!*

The Universe 25 experiment (1958–1962) remains one of the most haunting reflections of what happens when abundance meets social collapse.

American ethologist John B. Calhoun created a so-called “Mouse Paradise” — a habitat with unlimited food, water, and shelter — to study the behavioral effects of overpopulation. At first, the mice thrived.
They ate, bred, and lived without fear. But once the population reached around 600, something dark emerged.

Social hierarchies formed. The strong dominated resources. Mothers abandoned or even attacked their young. Males lost interest in mating or became violently territorial. Eventually, reproduction ceased altogether. The colony descended into cannibalism, isolation, and apathy, until it died out completely — despite everything they needed to survive being right in front of them.

Calhoun repeated the experiment 25 times, each with the same grim outcome.
His conclusion was chilling: when a society loses purpose, cooperation, and social structure — even in abundance — it collapses from within.

Today, Universe 25 stands as a stark warning about the balance between comfort, connection, and survival — a reminder that thriving requires more than just having enough to live. It requires meaning.

Only in developed nations. But even then, more and more people are being packed in cities under 300 square_km and more idiots are being lured into only 4 websites. Humanity is more packed than ever into smaller enclaves due to economic pressures and our species is just not capable of handling this much social pressure.
