The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
[Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms]

But then also this blog post, which explains how the Mario video is a good picture of multiple universes quantum physics. I almost wrote “quantum philosophy,” which seems right, too. Multiple universe theory is pretty strange. But thanks to the people who put this together, I at least understand it a little better than I understand string theory, now (string theory being my favorite other very strange physics thing about universes).
