String theory and chances

Featured Replies

Hey! Ive got a question about string theory.

If i were to go to another random universe, are the odds of getting in a universe where i exist, where trump is president of the USA or where i write this infinitely small or infinitely big.

Since the string theory suggests there are an infinite amount of universes, there is an infinite amount of both universes where the aforementioned conditions are true and universes where they arent true.

Thanks in advance!

Is this about string theory? Sounds more like the Many World's Interpretation of QM or one of the many multiverse hypotheses (just had a look and it seems that some of those do depend on string theory).

But even if there are multiple universes, only things that are possible can happen so there is obviously no universe where Trump is president. That's just silly!
