In an Infinite Timeline

The Concept of Infinite

If you can wrap your mind around the concept of infinite, then you understand that everything imaginable will happen in an infinite timeline. The most remote thing you can imagine, for instance the common idiom “when pigs fly”, if you believe in an infinite timeline, pigs will fly at some point in the future, or have already flown in the past. The interesting thing about an infinite timeline is that every choice begins a new splinter in the timeline. In the morning when I go to pick out a t-shirt, there is an infinite number of choices creating new timelines along the way. One choice may be a blue shirt, one choice a red, and one a green. The interesting thing is that in an infinite timeline, the infinite part is defined by an infinite number of choices in each situation in life. Perhaps instead of picking a blue shirt, I take the blue shirt out, light it on fire, and wear the green shirt. This decision affects the rest of my life because in an instance in an alternate timeline where I wear this blue shirt, I cannot be wearing that shirt because I destroyed it. If a series of events happens while I wear the blue shirt, it may happen the exact same way in the timeline I destroyed the blue shirt in, but I will be wearing the green shirt, causing it to be a different timeline altogether. I call these instances “singly displaced events”. Singly displaced events are, as previously mentioned, events happening in multiple timelines that have only one differing factor. When I say Infinite timeline, it holds a dual meaning. The term infinite applies to the chronological length of the timeline, but also applies to the infinite splintering of the universe based on the choices of individuals. Say that every day, 6 billion people make one choice, with only two options. (This is an unrealistic happenstance because I have just discussed how choices are infinite in themselves). If there are two choices to each person, that is already 12 billion separate timelines created in only a single choice per human being on the planet earth. This situation is unrealistic because human beings make more than a single choice in a day, and also because even if a person did make a single choice, there are still an infinite amount of ways in which the decision could be made causing the time stream to fracture and create new time streams.

The Physicality of the Time Streams

I believe that the different time streams are simply different in happenings, not in physical location. This is similar to, say, a two dimensional plane. In a two dimensional plane, lines exist. Because of its lack of the third dimension, depth, separate lines may exist on top of each other, but still be separate lines. When you draw a “single” line on a sheet of paper, who is to say that there is only one line? If you can create something on a two dimensional surface, than you can create an infinite amount of things. The actual physical presence of a timeline is just a “single” two dimensional line. When I refer to the “splintering” of a timeline, I merely refer to the discovery of another piece of an infinite two dimensional line. There is no definite “end” or “beginning” to the time stream. A line, especially when graphed on a Cartesian Plane, is defined as what we know as a line, with arrows on each end. This is the second definition of why time streams are infinite, because as we know, two dimensional lines stretch on indefinitely. This also applies Euclidian geometry to time, causing the idea of geometrical lines to be applied to time.

So what do you think?
Are we living in a three dimensional world within a two dimensional existence?

Post-script: In response to the question about whether or not I believe time is circular (a.k.a. the Déjà Vu Effect)

I believe time is entirely linear, but that similar things can happen in each timeline. Say in one timeline, I get in a car wreck. In an infinite timeline, the exact same car wreck is bound to happen over and over again, making it seem as though the timeline is circular, when in actuallity, the "pioneering" end of the timeline, that is the end that is moving forward, is still at a different place than it was than the last time I experienced this wreck. So the same thing may happen, but because a line does not double back upon itself, we do not have a circular timeline.
