The theory of multiverse is interesting. I was watching Fringe forums for someone to ask THE question that's in almost everyone's (whoever follows Fringe) mind. What are the odds that the scientist (Walter) was able to observe and crossover to the exact universe at the same time? In the finale of season one, he explains the concepts and basic theory behind multiverses. Branching of universe with every choice each man makes. So imagine the number of universes present.
So the question on the forum was quite simple. What are the odds that I might find myself in the other universe? For example the victims of an accident which happens in universe stop existing but in other universe they may continue to exist and have kids. These kids will not exist in the first universe, so the odds of finding the kid there in the first universe is absolutely nill. Then how does the theory works?
One probability is in applying philosophy of fatalism. Conservation of choice can be applied to a universe thus attaining balance and correct long term descrepencies. So the people who died in accident in first universe may die of some disease in the second. The reasons may vary but the balance is still maintained. So number of people in all of the universes always remain the same but the state in which they exist may differ.It might seem that everyone has freewill but in the longrun its of minor importance.

I check MJHT forum for kicks now though I watch only bits and pieces of the show. I came across a poll which is regarding approval of a character's (a girl, obviously) outfit. I mean, come on. Its OK to an extent when people go dissecting every eyebrow tick, every smile and many things which I never observed before and give a complete analysis, but voting poll for a salwaar suit?
Even I am not that jobless!
I wonder why people get involved with a series to an extent of obsession. If I like something, then at the max I read and write fan fiction and I know for sure that most shows turn into crap bar a few. (Exceptions: NCIS, Criminal Minds, X-Files up to season seven, Scrubs, Family Guy..this is all I can think of as of now) Apart from the afore mentioned most of the other series (>4 seasons) have turned to useless crap. This show, MJHT, would have been delightfully different but its going in the path of self destruction. When people talk about TRP, they are talking about lousy chosen 5000 population who have some sort of instrument fitted to their TV sets. This is as far as I have read about TRP stuff and the way this data is collected is non-scientific and still unclear to me even after reading about it for five to six times. And there is another thing. TRPs do not necessarily categorize demography when they give the ratings. Demography would be categorized to house holds, age groups etc. Check Nielson's ratings. The ratings are given in terms of viewers in millions across demographies and age groups. Not sure if TRP follows that pattern.
