Paradox: Front-Page Google Results Include Link To A Dogpile Search

Monday, March 17th, 2008

So, I was thinking of changing my name to something cool, like Stratovarius Megatrend. I'd check into a hotel, and a member of the staff would say, "Sure thing, Mr. Megatrend, I'll take your luggage up right away." Awesome. But could there be a cooler name…? I had to find out.

So I ran a quick search on Google for the exact phrase, "list of cool names."

Almost immediately, I noticed something odd. See if you can spot it:

Google Search Results for List of Cool Names

The 6th result on Google's front page for this specific search term is actually a link to a Dogpile search of a similar term!

Let's see what Dogpile has to offer…

Hmm… I'm curious about something… Let's check back on that Google page:

Ok, ok, and… on Dogpile…?

Wow. Google has 1,720 results. Number 6 is a link to Dogpile, which has 84 results. Granted, the search terms were a little different, but the one used on Dogpile was far less specific! It didn't even use quotes, and it only came up with 84. Plus, it's searching multiple search engines! Weird. Maybe Dogpile says, "I know what is relevant to a far greater extent than the peons of Google or Yahoo. I will selectively remove results that do not suit me." You'd think a search engine would strive for more results, in order to give visitors a greater chance of clicking an ad! And especially since Dogpile's pulling its sources from elsewhere…

I found it most interesting how Dogpile's "Now Searching" area listed Google first! So we search Google, which searches Dogpile, which searches Google, which goes back in time and kills Dogpile's grandfather, who just so happens to be Google's Great-great uncle, and then the universe explodes and implodes simultaneously!

One final thing that jumped out at me was the 6th result on Dogpile. Pretty sneaky, Buzz…

New Reason What Doesn't Kill You Will Make You Stronger

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

In "The One," Jet Li played a dimension-jumping killer, whose victims all shared one thing in common. They were him! Alternate versions of himself, from different dimensions. Every version was connected by a multidimensional link of power. Whenever one of him died, the dead guy's portion of that link was divided among the rest, causing all of them to become stronger, smarter, and faster. His goal was to kill all the other versions of himself, until he became, "The One," essentially a god.

Now to the old phrase, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." It makes sense that surviving a life-threatening scenario will strengthen you. You'll be more experienced, more aware, and better prepared to escape a similar deadly event in the future. However, let's take the argument behind "The One" into account.

According to scientists, for every possible outcome of an event, there is a distinct, separate universe in which that specific outcome comes to fruition.

So, if you're in a car crash, and you barely survive, that's great — you made it. But you could have died. Which means that you did die, in some other universe.

If there really were a multidimensional power link between all the versions of a person, that would mean that you just became stronger, with the relinquished power of your now-deceased alternate counterpart.

However, there is one hitch here. In "The One," there were a limited number of universes, 125 to be exact. So that would mean that there wouldn't have been a separate universe for each version of a scenario.

In our scientists' way of thinking, though, there is a separate universe for each outcome, meaning there is an infinite number of universes. So if a multidimensional power link does exist, it is divided an infinite number of times. In the car crash, you might have died a million different ways, meaning that in a million different universes, you did die, so theoretically you would become a million times stronger, right?

Well, maybe for the question of "Does a multidimensional power link really exist?", this universe is for the outcome, "No."
