I'd like to think that so-called "parallel universes" exist, and so I could go to Central Park in universe 1, 2 or 1337. That's kind of like probability, as parallel universes are formed by probabilistic events.

On a serious note, there are only three things that can defeat a PS3: Chuck Norris, The Apocalypse and Sony design decisions.


 LOL @ your second part, just wanted to get that out of the way

 

For your first part, as of right now we only have limited understanding of the workings of parralel universes, and what we do know we aren't sure of. Contrary to popular belief, at the moment it is currently scientifcally excepted that there is a very real possibility for their existance.  In fact some of the world's top theoretical physicists work on these problems every day. As for the universes being created by probabilistic events, this is almost by definition since a probabilistic event is simply something that happens by random chance.  Our current understanding of a universes creation is somewhat limited but randomness most certainly seems to play a role in it.  But then again some would argue whether randomness is really random =)

 If anything, probability is the predeterminer of which universe we exist in.  You can't "change" probability and thus be somewhere/sometime/someone else.  Chaos doesn't really work that way.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%

If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%

At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Ok, sure it doesn't have to be time...but in no way could it be probability or chicken nuggets. Neither of those two things can contain the 3 spacial dimensions.

 

Basically in order for something to be a new dimension it needs to be able to contain every X, Y, Z at any given point along its axis. So for example, at any given point in time there exists every point in space. So as a result any location is not accurately defined by just X, Y, Z but also requires T.

I can illustrate this by saying "Meet me in Central Park NY City, at the yellow bench just inside the southeast entrance." which is an X, Y, Z coordinate. To which you would probably reply "When?" which is your way of asking for the T coordinate. Your question is valid because at every point in time there exists the space that is currently occupied by Central Park. So I might answer your question with "Tomorrow at noon". In any case all of this information gives you the exact location in space-time we are to meet which is defined by the coordinate quadruplet (X, Y, Z, T).


 There is a chicken nugget at the floor just beside the yellow bench.



PS3 is so powerfull that instead of printing money like the Wii, it can turn a one cuban peso bill into a 1 billion dollar bill (Simpsons reference).

That must have been one crappy chicken!



PS3 is so powerful US DoD has announced that it will replace its full nuclear warheads with the PS3 overstock warheads!!!

Just curious- When are the first '4-D' games that were promised going to come out?

I know the PS3 can do it, Sony said so. Are the devs really that lazy?
