Zero/Nobody/Butterfly


Have you heard of the Multiverse theory? An infinite number of potential universes all exist simultaneously with each other, depending on any given number of choices people make. A lot of the media I've ingested recently take this one step further, what if you could explore these possibilities.

As stated in Mr Nobody, as long as you don't chose, everything remains possible  What if we could live out one timeline, see how it goes and what we could learn from it, then send our consciousness back to that earlier, make or break decision and go the other way. Imagine the learning possibilities, everything we could find out about ourselves and others, we could all find our way into our perfect lives.

However, removing the capability of failing adds a whole new dimension to life. If something goes wrong, you simply hop back to a prior point and prevent it. But then, if 2 people with opposing views possessed this power, would time simply grind to a halt as the 2 egos battled it out for which future prevailed? Or would the universe simply allow them both to go on in their separate universes.

Of all the superpowers out there, I can't think of any I would rather have than this, the possibilities are literally limitless, and all of its potential applications are incredible. I don't know where I would begin. If you haven't already seen them, I strongly advise watching both Mr. Nobody and The Butterfly Effect until you understand them, the whole concept is mind blowing.
