Sure. What type of upbringing did you have if you don't even know what a cthorse is?

[martinuzz]

Or My Little Pulu

(I fear HPL is cursing me from beyond the grave now for daring to associate his brilliant work with the horror from teh depth that is MLP)

[ChairmanPoo]

Banned from college for stare rape.

Stare rape?

You mean like this?

[x2yzh9]

The fact that according to Neil degrade Tyson we live in a multiverse.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

The fact that according to Neil degrade Tyson we live in a multiverse.

Why does that scare you?

[Shadowlord]

... degrade?

[Sirus]

Yeah, it's a new show where a dude named Neil constantly insults and belittles another dude named Tyson.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

This isn't the laugh thread, folks. Time to be serious!

[x2yzh9]

The fact that according to Neil degrade Tyson we live in a multiverse.

Why does that scare you?

well, let me put it like this;

As human beings we have an articulate talent. Movies, art, creativity is what I'm getting at here. But, when creativity gets pulled from fiction to fact, I think terrible things happen as a result. Of course you could and may well call this stupid, but... that's just think about if all the movies you ever watched were real, to an extent. Or at least could be. I don't know, this sounds like paranoid rambling but it's like playing dice with the universe so to speak, or vice versa. One of Albert Einstein greatest quotes is that God does not play dice with the universe. Doing that, especially by man's own production, is what scares me.

[ChairmanPoo]

That doesn't make any sense. How does human creativity have anything to do with being a multiverse or not? Even if there was some other universe which was identical to some fictional setting, it's existence wouldn't be contingent on the creative work; AKA: that universe would exist (or not) regardless of whether the work of fiction existed (or not)

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

Furthermore, the multiverse doesn't actually guarantee that any possible universe exists - there still might be an underlying order, such as "gravity exists in all universes" or "entropy is always increasing", that cannot be violated. Magic, likewise, doesn't have to exist. (Magic of improbability might, such as "knowing what card you picked", but magic of impossibility (making things fly) probably doesn't.)

magic of making things fly totally exists. Its called dynamite

No, that's the magic of Rapid Explosive Combustion. Making things fly is the magic of Aerodynamics.

[Eric Blank]

I prefer the term birb magic.

... You've put words together here, but they don't actually make any sense. "articulate talent?" _{Unless you mean we have good voice actors.}

Yeah, now you don't have to carry a laptop everywhere if you want to internet or read things, that's terrible #sarcasm

Of course you could and may well call this stupid, but...

You've allowed yourself to become terrified by movies, I guess?

that's just think about if all the movies you ever watched were real, to an extent.

Or at least could be. I don't know, this sounds like paranoid rambling but it's like playing dice with the universe so to speak, or vice versa. One of Albert Einstein greatest quotes is that God does not play dice with the universe. Doing that, especially by man's own production, is what scares me.

Ehm. That's not one of his greatest quotes. It's one of his more well-known ones, because he was wrong about it. See quantum mechanics. The universe is not deterministic. Also it has nothing to do with what you are saying...
