Individual Universes:
"Nobody can ever prove when they wake up in the morning that they’re the same person who went to sleep. You may dream that you had other dreams, but there’s now no way to prove that there’s not a great many of you and one of them woke up this way while the others went on another way.
"If you were inventing a Universe where there were no things, where there were only events, always changing, continually reaching out or coming in, either gaining or losing, with continual transformation; and you invent all the chemical elements and have all their behaviors and all their isotopes; and you invent all the leverages and the frequencies and start playing the game of Universe… You get things going pretty well, and you have all these stars giving off energies that get picked up in certain ways. So you invent the planets where they get picked up. And there’ll be new stars; and the old stars will be perhaps the beginnings of new planets.
“And then you get so you have more and more problems because this business gets more and more complicated. Quite clearly, experiences must multiply. So you have the Universe multiplying”
