Is it normal that my only real fear is that life repeats?

  • It almost certainly is though. There's no such thing as randomness or chance. All motion happens because of its interaction with its environment. When all possible variables are perfectly replicated, the outcome has to be the same. If the Big Bang happens again, the variables have to repeat - there's no other possible outcome.

    • If you were to put a bomb in the center of a group of marbles, they would not repeat the same paths each time. There are random forces that will change things. If you choose not to believe that, without doing the research the internet offers, then you are not being proactive about your fear, but succumbing to it.
      Your choice.

      • They would if the bombs were bombs and situation were identical in every way, which they could not be because they are different bombs. A better analogy would be that if you had a time machine and went back to watch that bomb explode over and over and over again, do you think the explosion would ever have a different outcome?

        True randomness is a physical impossibility.

        • I get what you're saying, because if the big bang happens again then everything will repeat itself. If everything is repeating itself then it will repeat in the exact same way each time. There can be no randomness because all of the variables will be the same.

          The only way events would be slightly different would be if the variables were different. But that's not possible because the repetition of time is not continuous in this theory, and so it erases randomness.

          But the rebuttal to this is that there is no repetition of time because time is continuous. And as a result the "repeated" events would only be similar instead of exact.

        • If you were watching the same explosion each time, I agree. But with different explosions, the outcomes would indeed be different, each and every time.
          So the second (or one thousandth) big bang explosion could not be identical to any other.
          Find something else to worry about and let that one go, it ain't going to happen.
