“And I was reading about different theories about the
universe. I was really taken with this one theory that
states that everything that is possible happens. That
means that when you flip a quarter, it doesn’t come down
heads or tails. It comes up heads and tails. Every time you
flip a coin and it comes up heads, you are merely in the
universe where the coin came up heads. There is another
version of you out there, created the second the quarter
flipped, who saw it come up tails. This is happening every
second of every day. The world is splitting further and
further into an infinite number of parallel universes where
everything that could happen is happening. This is
completely plausible, by the way. It’s a legitimate
interpretation of quantum mechanics. It’s entirely
possible that every time we make a decision, there is a
version of us out there somewhere who made a different
choice. An infinite number of versions of ourselves are
living out the consequences of every single possibility in
our lives. What I’m getting at here is that I know there
may be universes out there where I made different
choices that led me somewhere else, led me to someone
else.”
He looks at Gabby. “And my heart breaks for every
single version of me that didn’t end up with you.”
