What if it was you?

[Vishnu Priya B]

Honestly, it's a boring answer, but I'd probably do nothing about it. Trying to do something about it or change the way I was living based on the parallel universes would stress me out way too much. It'd be best to just keep trying to live life to the fullest and pretend I didn't know, because ignorance is bliss (even if it's pretend ignorance!)

No, it's not a boring answer. Actually, that's the best strategy. Trying to change things that you have no control over only causes stress. As you said, if you pretend to be ignorant, you can live your life to the fullest at least in your current woldline.

What would you do or how would you conduct yourself if the many worlds theory was actually true and you knew for a fact that it was true, and let's say you were in one of the character's position?

If I were Professor Buzzard I think I would have probably would not have told all the students about the many-worlds theory knowing how impactful it could be. Maybe just one or two students.

I think its mandatory he tell every student. If i were Prof. Buzzard, i would do nothing but exactly what he did. I might even go extra miles expansiating the theory more than he did.

I see your point. However, the multiverse explanation was actually not the topic of that class. So Professor Buzzard could have chosen otherwise. I would have loved to see a positive spin-off as a result of the whole multiverse idea.

That would be like a release to me because if that was true, that would mean like nothing really matters. How I perceive my reality would mean a lot to me, since I won't have any desire to change anything but I would create my own perceptions and live with them peacefully, deep down knowing it is never that serious and nothing material is permanent.

[Benaron]

I would act just the same as I act now. There's no way I could change the other "me's" in other worldlines; the only thing I could control is myself, so I would just focus on trying to become the best I could be and not worry about it.

[yomide]

After reading the novel, I would say I would tread very carefully if I was in control of someone else's actions. But if it was true than there would be laws in place to deal with scenarios like the one presented in the book.

Agreed. I wouldn't want to disrupt someone else's life, even if it is mine just in another worldline. But then again, if all this is actually true; every time I dream horrible stuffs, that means horrible stuffs are happening to another me. Every time I make bad decisions while hallucinating, that means another me get to suffer the consequence. Then I'll say it is a pretty hardcore nightmare stuff.

[yomide]

Take a look at Gary's lawyer. She is a practiced lucid dreamer. When she now discovers the effects, and consequences of her actions in the dream state are as real as in real life, how crazy would she get? She will have to stop lucid dreaming so as not to cause trouble for herself in another worldline. She will have to.

[yomide]

In that situation I would probably just try to put it to the back of my mind and forget about it as much as possible. Life is already complicated enough without having to deal with the complexities of countless others!

Oh yeah life is complicated enough alright. I absolutely agree with you. Why would I want to dwell on something that would complicate my life so? Granted, I would find it daring, intriguing, adventurous and interesting. But that doesn't make it any less complicated.

[Anjali Patil]

If it was me and if I would be from one of the students, I would love the fact if the professor didn't tell us about the theory about many worlds and how we evolve around them. If that wouldn't have happened then, definitely it wouldn't have changed everything in the students. I would love to live in peace.

[KELVIN LANGAT]

On the off chance that it was me I will feel horrendous about what has occurred yet I'd get over it in the long run since it really wasn't my flaw in any case it's anything but a mystery

[Troy Barnes]

If it was true I would be elated because it would be a highly educative and transformative experience as I would be able to see how different my life would be if I had made different choices. It would help me to better adjust myself so as not to make stupid decisions.

[Hogwarts03]

I don't think I find the fact that I can be unknowingly controlled by another version of myself. But if I was in the controlling position, I wouldn't (hopefully) act in the way that Gary (the one who was lucid dreaming did) and wouldn't interfere in any of my other versions' lives, just because I think that things would already have been too complicated without me creating more complications and outcomes.

[Amy Luman]

It’s hard to know what I would do if I was in this position. I’d like to think that I would continue to live the way I do. It’s too big a responsibility to be in charge of what happens in every one of the infinite possibilities.

[Archaeoptery]

mm. I would just keep it to myself and see what I can learn about it. I can not recall how to spell the memory issue a charter had but I would be interested in trying to figure out if what I learn could help them. Thought I will go through some means to cover up just how I learned more on it.

If anything, it is a mystery indeed. Even if one try to trend carefully, there is eery chance one would get over it. It isn't something that happens in a physical state, not something we can access however or whenever we want. One will surely get over it, its just a matter of time.
