But what if you are the main character but everyone else is not?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It would mean then that of all the infinite worlds you walk through, the Simon that you meet is never the main character Simon.

It's possible, given the nature of infinite infinites, and assuming a full hierarchy of universes... I just find it unlikely.

Surely two main characters will walk each other at some point, and given an infinite lifespan, surely one of them is bound to be alarmingly old.
