It is funny seeing an increase in young men trying to retcon their choice to not pursue higher education by claiming “real men do blue collar work”.

My field used to be like 95% men when I started around 20 years ago. I work in medicine, but our specialty uses a lot of heavy machinery and tools to fabricate custom braces and prosthetics. I work at a university hospital and we haven’t had a male resident in like 5 years.

The universe seems to be as far as we know now physically infinite and homogeneous. That means all possible arrangements of matter exits.

There’s a couple assumptions being made here that allow for this hypothesis to be possible. We do not know if the universe is actually infinite, it’s just a possibility based on what we can currently observe (around 93 billion light years). Even if something is incalculably large, it’s still miniscule compared to the infinite that this hypothesis requires.

Secondly the universe is only homogeneous at a very large scale. The universe at a local scale is very diverse in its make-up, it’s only homogeneous at a scale of hundreds of millions of light years.

If we disregard these assumptions is it possible that there are near copies of our perceived realities in other places in the universe, maybe…but is it likely?

Possibly, but the patients I know who generally keep up with their health also tend to keep up with technology fairly well. It’s anecdotal, but my experience with these types is that they are highly dependent on their routine.

Yeah, I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation and have some patients in their 90s that look better than a lot of people in their 60s. When things turn downward for people 80 and above, it happens quickly.

Most of the time it is because they have a fall or some kind of injury that impedes their mobility. The most common denominator for people in good shape for their advanced age is that they all remain very active, generally walking a couple miles a day.

Loss of mobility is one of the highest predictors for mortality.
