I leave it at whatever it was set at before I arrived. Why mess with destiny?
Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Miscellaneous
I quickly carry the people to the other side so they all can get run over.
I actually would like to choose the track where the number of people increases by one (so 1, 2, 3, 4...) and then the train will kill -1/12 people
PS Yes, I know this sum result is problematic, it's only a joke
build new tracks to make the trolley run on (possibly in circles).
Pull the lever. Save as many lives as you can and hope that someone that now wasn't killed as fast can help come up with a solution for the runaway trolley.
I would take a sledgehammer and smash the trolley to bits, thus solving the problem and saving infinite number of lives. There's always another option available.
Since there's an infinite number of people to kill in either case I can just do nothing, and thus by inaction most of those infinite people will have more than enough time for someone else to rescue them. Maybe the State, that's what they're there for.
The existence of the bottom track would imply an infinite density of people, which would create a black hole and kill everyone involved, regardless of the trolley's presence
I have a tangential question I have been wanted an explanation for:
If there are infinite universes, would there be infinite earth's?
I remember (an) answer is infinite universes doesn't necessarily mean infinite earth's. A cool analogy of a CD rack was used when I read it, but I can't find it. Does anyone else have an explanation and/or analogy for this?
Weirdly good timing, here's a Kurzgesagt video on that exact question! Uploaded literally yesterday (or yester-er-day depending on time zones)
Probably pull the leaver cuz then I can jump in front of the train.
Do nothing - maximum destruction
Slip the switch, like always
@tedu @science_memes @fossilesque Can we space them out so the frequency is the same? 😂
Was this an honest question? Because the answer is 'no'. You can't space them out or else the set of people on the lower track would be countable which is a smaller infinity than the ones of the real numbers.
To space them, you would have to take people of the track. Infinitely many. To be precise not all of them but as many as there are on the track.
Yes. Right under trolley. Will derail it.
