I am always willing to share new opinions on alternate history.<br /><br />Maybe proof is to strong of a word, but certainly the existence of a multiverse will have drastic consequences for humanity. We could be looking at an unprecedented cultural event to exceed the legacy of the Columbian Exchange.<br /><br />Have you ever read Piper's Paratime series? What is interesting about that alternate history is that while the multiverse he created does contain our Earth and many common AH timelines (South wins the Civil War, Nazis win World War II, etc.), they play a small role. Piper really used his immagination when he created some of his alternate Earths, including one where reincarnation was scientifically proven to be true. Consider the ramifications that would have on our Earth if we were to stumble on such a world!Mitronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080248961176338496.post-57334490535232592011-07-14T03:11:50.949-05:002011-07-14T03:11:50.949-05:00Hi, Mitro,
Thanks for the mention of my blog, and...Hi, Mitro,<br /><br />Thanks for the mention of my blog, and I'm very happy to discover your own excellent blog here in the infosphere. <br /><br />What you say about the multiverse & God-proofs is an interesting conundrum. Depending upon what one counts as a "proof", I suspect the evidence presented by the existence of multiple universes will remain open to interpretation. But when it comes to this: <br /><br />"Who knows what religions have evolved on these unexplored alternate Earths or what effect they will have on our Earth when we find them..."<br /><br />- I noticed you write this as if it is fact. <br />I like how you think. <br /><br />I especially like the implication here that we will not only find other universes, but have sufficient interaction with them that large-scale cultural matters may come into play. What an intriguing concept that is. We see fictional treatments of people from one reality interacting with those of another, but rarely does this occur on such a scale that one of the cultures significantly impacts that of another timeline. <br /><br />That's a thought worth chewing over. Hm, I feel a blog post coming on... <br /><br />-TeramisDeborah Teramis Christianhttp://www.deborahteramischristian.comnoreply@blogger.com
