in a paper titled Parallel Universes, cosmologist
Max Tegmark writes,

If space is infinite and the distribution of matter
is sufficiently uniform on large scales, then even
the most unlikely events must take place somewhere.

In particular, there are infinitely many other inhabited
planets, including not just one but infinitely many with
people with the same appearance, name and memories
as you.

Indeed, there are infinitely many other regions the
size of our observable universe, where every possible
cosmic history is played out.

. . . Although the implications may seem crazy and
counter-intuitive, this spatially infinite cosmological
model is in fact the simplest and most popular one
on the market today.

IF indeed there are infinitely many people just like you,
living on infinitely many planets, that are spinning in infinitely
many galaxies, that are distributed uniformly in a space
that is infinite,

THEN it would follow that in ANY and EVERY direction
from your current location, there exists another You

a You directly ABOVE and BELOW

a You to your LEFT and to your RIGHT

a You AHEAD and BEHIND

and although the distances are unimaginably vast,
at this very moment -

you are surrounded, in every direction, by another
You
