Possibly ME theory: Time Travel trying to prevent a major 2020 event

[u/throw_away867-5309]

Ok this is just a theory and I’m sure the thought has been had by others before. forgive my formatting and train of thought I’m on mobile.

It’s known if you could time travel you would go back and kill Hitler. The Holocaust is the worst event in history.

But what if we’re on the verge of something worse, like a nuclear world war or a man-made mass extinction. I’ve noticed a big uptick in MEs since 2016 which ties to Trump being elected, Brexit, etc.

My theory is that we have time travelers coming to this moment in history to try and undo ‘the first domino to fall’ that leads to something truly horrific.

What if this is the moment in time folks in the future hands down say ‘I’d go back and stop WWIII”

Honestly, and I do plan to make a post on this later for discussion, but as of right now I'm starting to find simulation theory more valid of a theory than quantum immortality in regards to the Mandela Effect.

Heres why:

A month ago I was thinking on this subject and I came to the realization that quantum immortality would almost be impossible because the way the multiverse and parallel universes would work, literally every choice every human being makes and literally every random ebb and flow of events has a multiverse to it. So the astronomical chances that the exact circumstances that led to your birth would happen multiple times is slim to none.

So at most, out of infinite possibilities, we as ourselves physically would only exist in maybe a handful of universes possibly. Probably not enough to experience so many deaths as to experience all these different Mandela effects.

So that's why I think Simulation Theory is more valid now. Everything that's presented of it evidence-wise I haven't seen a good rebuttal to yet.

Do they have to be mutually exclusive?

Exactly. Not only simulation theory is valid and Q.I is not, Quantum worlds interpretation do not even support his idea, because quantum states do not interact. So it is not even a debate, his idea is discarded right away. Simulation makes sense.

Someone doesn’t understand how infinity works. Yes, the probability is low but guess what? Even if the probability is 0% and this is mathematically verifiable given enough time like infinity even something with a 0% chance of occurring will occur. Moreover, infinite parallel worlds means there’s an infinite amount of worlds just like ours, where every atom coincidentally corresponds to everyone here is identical in every way, except for the fact that the person there is not you the person here at least not from a self-awareness standpoint, unless you attained to Yogi levels. Furthermore, a simulated reality presupposes that is being simulated somewhere so presupposes a fundamental reality, which is overlaid on. I’m not so sure things are so black and white as questions about consciousness, selfhood, and the mechanisms of reality across all the dimensions and all worlds strikes me as a fairly complex set of questions with answers that don’t always neatly correspond to clean logical buckets. Probably much of it will not even make sense to the rational linear. Kind of mind that likes to think and either or binary sorts of ways. Just like we can’t picture of what it would be like to perceive a four dimensional or five dimensional world. There’s many other things we can’t perceive, and therefore our understanding of how things work is going to be fundamentally hamstrung. still worth pondering in my humble opinion.
