Infinite

There is a very strong theme of infinity in The Garden of Forking Paths. Borges compares time to an infinite labyrinth of paths that have no end, but there are multiple possibilities. This somewhat reminded me of another idea that has been quite famous, Schrodinger's cat. Schrodinger's cat is a theory that there are an infinite amount of timelines where an infinite amount of things happen. What's interesting about this is that there are so many defining moments in the story that you could easily imagine going the opposite direction. What if Yu Tsun hadn't made it on the train? or what would have happened if he hadn't shot Albert? I feel like Borges was trying to really exemplify just how infinite time can be by showing how so many small instances can make big differences in a story.
