  1. mm some strange words for me there..

    wow, that physical distance between parallel realities sounds so cool. to have it in numbers! as with the witdh.. ! who came up with those numbers? and yeah, i'm not sure what they mean.

    so this intersection.. could it be viewed? with luck?

  2. Oh well, planck time is taken from the planck time constant. It is planck distance (the smallest distance with any meaning in the universe, divided by the speed of light). time is made up of a granular-non continuous increments of time called planck time. its a lot like a refresh rate (HZ) on a computer screen. This is the duration, or width of time we can observe or act in at a time (10^-43 seconds) (and if we were 4th dimensional the width of time we could see would be as long as the time line cause our existence would span that dimension) So if the threshold for a branching time line is 10^-43 seconds, then it is logical to say the width of a time line is 10^-43 seconds. Think about it a bit and let me know if that makes sense.

  3. that was good explanation and interesting. i got confused over the meaning of "physical width" but i.. think i get what it means now.

    a question:
    the "width of time we can observe.. 10^-43 seconds".. is that what you are referring to when you say that "it's logical to say the width of a TIME LINE is 10^-43 seconds"?
    for when we observe, or has the time line in itself that width?
    do you see my confusion? lol.

    this is so nice that you're interested in physics!
