Pull it -1/12 of the way, causing the infinity to converge to a real number.
build new tracks to make the trolley run on (possibly in circles).
I quickly carry the people to the other side so they all can get run over.
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.
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)
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
The same thing most people would do when presented with a Trolly Problem for real. Analysis paralysis, choose to do nothing, then cry softly every night for the rest of my life.
Do nothing - maximum destruction
Slip the switch, like always
@tedu @science_memes@mander.xyz @fossilesque@mander.xyz Can we space them out so the frequency is the same? 😂
Probably pull the leaver cuz then I can jump in front of the train.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
