Mirror mirror on the wall... DON'T KILL ME!!!

And when he looks up?

Fear can take on many forms- darkness, spiders, clowns, candy offering by-passers, hobos, dead people rising from derelict graves to complain to the local council, the lot- but these are rational. I think. They can be explained away, they can be overcome, they are silly. However, being slightly on the thin purple line drawn by society separating strange quirkiness and paranoid behaviour, I have come across a different kind of fear. Something...paranoid.

Questions asked usually have answers that are easily comprehended. For example 2-1=1; "why are Pink Floyd so awesome?". "because they are musical GENIUS"; "how did the universe begin?", something on the lines of "The Big Bang"... "why are we here?", "next please!"; "are you real?", "next please!"; "do dolphins know giraffes roam the land?" tougher nuts to crack, huh? So existentialist questions, they are the ones that have (or don't have) the most elusive true answers. Anyone can answer randomly, but how can it be clarified, how can you be certain that I exist when you cannot experience my mind? This leads to me lacking terminology to explain everything in a chronological order of how I would have learnt it in a course such as Philosophy if it was undertaken a few years ago. I will try to get by with simple language, the words do not mean anything anyway.

Look in your mirror- dramatise eyeballs, clench your teeth, wave your hands, ruffle your hair- what do you see? You making grimaces, burning calories, getting ready for a photo? Is it you though? Not anyone else? How can you prove either way?

Of course, the mirror reflects streams (waves) of photons that bounced off objects and now have shifted to a particular frequency to display a certain colour in your palette. They are there. Yes? Quantum (microscopic) Theory states that a photon, and for that matter any particle, can exist in a superposition of states- be at two places at the same time- if there's no disturbance. Now, disturbance is observation of the two states, which cause the whole scheme to deteriorate and hide away under a rug specifically designed by the manufacturer to hide things of such nature, but let's not drone on a subject that no-one in the world pretends to understand. Two photons- what if the mirror links to another universe, or even just another world?

If you believe in an infinite universe like me, there is an infinite number of possibilities. Anything that can happen, will happen. Somewhere out there, exists a world exactly like ours, the same to every single minute detail- the exactly same history, exactly same registers, exactly same strings of DNA and magnetic storms of the Sun, exactly the same fingers like mine typing away, hoping to spread this to exactly the same people. Every one of us exists infinitely.

Relating to the mirror, am I mimicking someone else when I pull a face? The fact that everything is exactly the same in that world, means that they are having exactly the same thoughts as me, and I can say I would not hurt me, so I am not afraid of me. But an infinite number of possibilities- infinitely more than the number of atoms in the universe- means there's an upside-down world with my evil twin, who may come out of the mirror at night and steal my dreams. Now, a little far-fetched, but it is a possibility.

lost my train of thought, goodnight!
