Definition. A possible world is a complete way things might be. Possible worlds are alternative worlds one of which is the actual world. Philosophers use the notion of a possible world to define and discuss ideas such as possibility or necessity. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=define+possible+worlds+theory and Philosphy books are too hard to read...it's confusing. I live in a 'actual' world. There are no other worlds. too many clocks running at different times, at different rates.. it's confusing. Does anybody know what time it is...now? Or does anybody got the right time? I got to figure out what time it is now... i have to start counting from the first 3 seconds. You know, at the beginning... tick, tick, tick.. How many ticks are there from the first second to...Now? Then I will have to correct time. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
