You know what I mean, silly-billy. The astrophysics theory of inflation (previously known as "The Big Bang"). How does that factor into your infinite universe theory? I'm curious to know.

How does the inflation theory fit into your thoughts on an infinite universe?
The more notes they print the higher prices get.

Are you and your friend in a different universe now than you were? Or did you just visit a different one and come back?
So if everything is different in this universe, whichever one it may be, wouldn't it be pointless to argue with ANYONE here who isn't you or doesn't realize there are other universes in existence because YOU are the visitor and WE are the natives who won't notice any differences??

I've spoken to a lot of people from the Mandela Died in Prison universe. All of them seem to remember some moment where they should have died, but didn't.

That's not 2-4 times the size, but it's also a lot smaller than the flat image. I'm chalking this up to more a desire to escape recent failures than an outright faulty memory. I think the OP is lying to himself and doesn't realize it. He would have shown a spherical image if he was being honest.

Do you have any tips on how any of us could attempt to do this as well or does it just happen uncontrollably? I would love to get the # out of this current reality and fine one that is much more hospitable, if such a place even exists.
I'm guessing that currently you can only access the three alternate universes, which are very similar to our own. It would be nice if you could land somewhere completely different.

Greenland isn't near as big as these people think I suggest they buy a globe.

And I suggest you read my last post.
You are extraordinarily ignorant as I have pointed out numerous times on both MAP and GLOBE it is outrageously larger!

No.
I have looked at a physical 3 dimensional globe and the land mass of Greenland is extremely larger. On every god damn map, globe, sphere - physical or in Google Earth, the land mass is insanely larger.
Google Earth is a virtual globe, map and geographical information program that was originally called EarthViewer 3D created by Keyhole, Inc, a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) funded company acquired by Google in 2004 (see In-Q-Tel).
A globe is a three-dimensional scale model of Earth (terrestrial globe or geographical globe) or other celestial body such as a planet or moon. While models can be made of objects with arbitrary or irregular shapes, the term globe is used only for models of objects that are approximately spherical. The word “globe” comes from the Latin word globus, meaning round mass or sphere. Some terrestrial globes include relief to show mountains and other features on the Earth’s surface.
A globe is the only representation of the earth that does not distort either the shape or the size of large features; flat maps are created using a map projection that inevitably introduces an increasing amount of distortion the larger the area that the map shows. A typical scale for a terrestrial globe is roughly 1:40 million. This corresponds to a globe with a circumference of one metre, since the circumference of the real Earth is almost exactly 40 million metres.[1][2]

As I explained two factors determine the shape of continents sea level and plate techtinics. It wouldn't only change greenland and Australia. The entire planet would be diffrent to the point you wouldn't recognize it.

Seems exceptionally close minded. Kind of like the Fermi Paradox means theres no such thing as alien life - or more simply, we just can't see them yet and/or they're not allowing us to be seen en masse.
I will not lie, maybe for some reason my brain and many others have magically all coincided that land masses we're exceptionally different.
North America DOES look fundamentally different to me. So does Alaska, So do many other parts of the globe - HOWEVER, I am trying to stick to the things my gut tells me is absolutely WRONG. Because believe it or not, I am college educated, have had to do geography, history, etc. I find it hard to believe that I and many others are all experiencing this phenomena because of lack of care of geography, poor education or memory fault.
