    $\begingroup$ Well yes, one can always make an appeal to the idea that everything we experience is part of a larger thing which is unlike everything we experience. But in what sense is our understanding advanced by such claims? What test would show that they are wrong if they are wrong? $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 16, 2019 at 13:46
  • $\begingroup$ I am not terribly well-educated in terms of math or physics, but to really understand this answer, I considered my real life, current scenario: "using a back massager my desk while reading this question" and couldn't help but giggle at the notion that in this sufficiently large multi-verse, there ought to exist states of whether I decided to move my massager up, down, left, or right - but if we include precision, such as an inch, a centimeter, a millimeter, etc. the sense of "determinism" breaks down - because one could imagine what appears to be infinite states once precision is introduced. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 23, 2024 at 14:19
