Quantum immortality

Quantum immortality is the name for the speculation that the Everett many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that a conscious being cannot cease to be. The idea is highly controversial. Theoretically given any potentially fatal event that could happen to, say, a quantum physicist, there will be possible universes in which the physicist indeed dies and other possible universes where the physicist somehow survives. As time goes on the physicist is dead in more and more of all possible universes due to random accidents and aging, however because there are infinite possibilities, there will always be at least one universe in which the physicist miraculously lives another day. The idea behind quantum immortality is that the physicist would only be able to experience the universes in which he survives, even though they may be an increasingly small subset of the possible universes. In this way, the physicist would appear from his own standpoint to be living forever. Some of the potential ultimate fates of the Universe could present an eventual death with no means of avoidance no matter how unlikely, but even then in an infinite universe there could be some means of working around such a limit.

The prior paragraph is in error. Its description of the number of possible universes in which death occurs as growing larger relative to the number of ones where death does not occur over time is in error. As an explanation, for every universe in which death occurs because there is an infinite set of universes there also exists an alternate universe where death does not occur. Hence the ratio of dead physicists to living stays the same. In fact following the argument to its logical extremes at any point in time there should exist an infinite number of universes where the physicist is dead and an infinite number in which he is not. In addition there would exist an infinite number of universes in which the physicist never existed and an infinite number in which his gender is the opposite of the other set of infinite universes and so on and so on.

theoretically.. there is a universe out there for every possible choice we make..

there could be a universe wherein you are currently taking it in the butt :spank:

There could also be a universe where we are all putting it in each other's butt...

Of all the possible universes out there, why would we possibly dwell on that scenario??
I always found the infinite universe theory pretty interesting.
 
Okay, That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being.

This is too much!

That means one tiny atom in my fingernail could be--

Could be one little tiny universe.


Could I buy some pot from you?


Name that movie!!!

yea that shit is mind "bottlling".
 
thats pretty retarded. Even with your argument that there could be possibly another version of you, that doesn't make you are immortal.

If you keep creating clones of yourself, and they do the same and so forth, you're not immortal.

quantum mechanics can be really far fetched and is almost always irrelevant to anything pertaining to your life. don't get hung up on it, its a thought trail that really doesn't lead anywhere.
