But in the infinite realities, the fact that there exists a different reality for all the decision made by a human is only subsets of all realities. So yes, there probably exist a reality were some specific human put on its red shirt instead of its blue one in the morning after shower. Or, more significantly, didn't accept the offer to be in the Stargate program. But there's also others, less interesting reality, where a molecule of water turned left or right in a river (for some molecular reason). Obviously having a show like Sliders jumping to those insignificant reality would be kind of boring for us.
So the "every decisions" is only a layman explanation of the global multiverse theory. (my water molecule explanation above is way boring )Last edited by Commander Zelix; 09 May 2009, 06:25 PM.Currently watching: Dark Matter, 12 Monkeys, Doctor Who, Under the Dome, The Mentalist, The Messengers, The Last Ship, Elementary, Dominion, The Whispers, Extant, Olympus, Da Vinci's Demons, Vikings

If that's really just how it's being explained as opposed to who it's actually supposed to work then I have no problem with it. I does make me think even more though that scientists are terrible at explaining what they mean, they dumb things down too much or sometimes not enough, it's no wonder religious groups are able to convince people not to trust science when the explanations scientists sometimes give can be picked apart so easily at times.

Originally posted by LtColCarter View PostThen again...there's nothing but faith to back up religion. At least with science there are facts to back it up and your average Joe may not understand all that goes into those facts. So, they have to be "dumbed down"...now back to Fringe...Spoiler:Leonard Nimoy at the very end of the episode.sigpic

How Fringe's season finale will change everything up
J.J. Abrams, co-creator and executive producer of Fox's sci-fi series Fringe, told reporters that tonight's season finale provides a "major turning point in the long-term arc of the series."
The episode, "There's More Than One of Everything," will feature the return of the mysterious David Robert Jones (Jared Harris), the disappearance of Walter Bishop (John Noble) and a scene between Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) and William Bell (Leonard Nimoy), Walter's old partner and co-founder of Massive Dynamic. Abrams spoke during a conference call with reporters last Friday. The following are edited excerpts from the conversation. The season finale airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Do we have anything to look forward to in the season finale of Fringe? I'm willing to settle for generic scoop. Yep, I'm that desperate! — Helena
MICKEY: When I spoke to J.J. Abrams this week, he told me this: If the first season was about meeting the good guys while discovering that there is a bad guy, Season 2 is much more about meeting the bad guy. Is that Leonard Nimoy's Dr. William Bell? I wouldn't bet on it, as I suspect that his role in the ZFT — like Walter's —will be much more accidental and nebulous.
