Reality isn’t a singular unfolding history. Rather, all possible alternative histories and futures are real. All the things we never do but could do, that never happen but could happen occur in adjacent universes. The old and the new are colliding, mutating matter to form a new ecology. With infinite universes and possibilities other worlds hold options for our survival. We are each comprised of seven billion billion billion particles which have a lifespan of at least 5 quintillion times the age of the universe. We find new forms of survival; beyond the sea of our own refuse a new world awaits.
