In this video, we explore one of the most unsettling ideas in science: quantum immortality. Building off the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, this idea suggests that there’s a probabilistic continuance of each of our consciousnesses that will survive everything. It will continue to feel like us, and it will be eternal. And this idea is fully coherent with the math of quantum mechanics…

This is the best channel in YouTube in every reality!
The reality of becoming fertilizer just feels bad for some reason 😇
if you just continue, living there's anyone who has passed the human age limit? like from the past or present there should be a lot of people who just kept living and living right? or is it just the limitation of this world that will keep looping?
is this true for animals too? also what happens when i get old and die
"everything everywhere all at once"
What is terrifying is you tube
He told us around 1400 years ago, Life is an illusion.
The plot of Dark Matter. What a great show
Maybe we all started as one and each one of us is a branch of a different possibility of that one. And maybe in another dimension we would have the ability see the many worlds at once. We can only see 3d in this dimension and our time is linear. We can't conceptualize what many worlds is, it's beyond anything we can understand in this dimension
When you don't know whats going on so you make up stuff.
The show Dark Matter on Apple TV is about this.
You’re the best.
6:49 is what I can see when I press a little my eye and just stair in the air.
Chaos theory would have been beautifully integrated into this topic. Deserves a mention
I have been thinking this way for quite some time now. It’s weird to hear it from outside my head.
Is someone believing this at all?
As a kid I almost died when I crawled into a sand cave and it fell on me and I couldn’t breathe, I saw my life flash before my eyes like it was a movie and I was watching scenes and people from my life like a well produced film.. it was so quick and if I had died I feel like this experience would’ve gotten deeper
its a mix of solipsism, that i conjured this all up and the terror that i conjured this all up and ive been talking to myself the entire time. that im actually all alone with my creator
Brother this video is incredible. I have seen so much content touch on these topics throughout the years but no one has put the whole thing together as good as this video in my opinion.
This is the biggest illogical leap of a video I have ever seen. You don’t even know what you is…so what gives you the right to tell me what I should do? According to your bankrupt view of reality you can’t know anything about anything, and yet you think you should be authoritative in demanding that someone follow your advice? How preposterous…
If this is true then there is no such thing as being suicidal because we never will die. So now anyone who attempts to kill them selves it’s on you people coming up with this nonsense and promoting this thought with the world before knowing what actually happens!!!! You idiots!!!!!
What is the point of that
i like turtles
the double slit experiment is really weird, it's like in minecraft when the world generates in the direction you look.. we seem to live in a realm of reality, a type of simulation with data that we interact with BUT not all the data we can observe. like how birds can see the earths electromagnetic fields, or how ants aren't really aware of us. there is something else happening to us is invisible.
The cause and effect relationship is of our rational mind. I beleive that our intuition, and our sense of transcendence is of our subconscious mind, it's trying to talk to our rational mind , the subconscious mind is connected to the quantum realm.
I've had verifiable OBEs and precognitive visions, when I'm detached from my physical body, there is progression of events, but there is no time.
this was realllly good to nap to
The interesting question is why this interest, this investigation, this planning, this… goal….. is almost entirely male. If it's it not, that's a wonderful branch of study. All of this needs to be. I just don't know how to help. I'm just a person with person problems.
It's really fucking annoying that every video is now AI. I'm very sad. I'm going to tend my garden and change my oil.
This is a fun question for what happens when you are spawned and some dumb ass just let themselves be offed. You forget that the spawned people have to understand that they just only exist becuse someone unalived themselves for your vacation. But you know that, because of the whole conecpt. fuck typos i'm tired
Quantum immortality is one of those ideas that lodges in your head whether you buy it or not. What got me was the many-worlds framing: it's not a claim that you live forever in any absolute sense, but that from your own first-person perspective you can never catch yourself dying, because you're only ever conscious in the branches where you survived. The near-death experience examples make it genuinely eerie instead of just abstract. Whether or not the physics holds up, it forces a real question: can consciousness actually end, or does it just keep finding a branch to continue in?
Love how quantum theory leans into Advaita philosophy so nicely. thank you
Some mf bouta use quantum immortality theory to bet on crypto
I feel like you just said a whole lotta nothing…
10:32 I think this is getting into the idea of how perception shapes what you see. If there is 100 people in the room some may have the same perception some may have opposites and some may have different than the first two groups and so on. This creates the possibility philosophically to support the theory of infinite possibilities being true at the same time. Your mind is organizing the molecules in your brain to perceive this certain way
I can't accept the notion that in some branch universe, Henry the VIII is still alive…..how?
Why do I feel like I’m being pulled into a cult or something? 😐
The teleportation pod kills the first you and creates another you. You have died a thousand times.
Ancient Indian philosophy arrived at a version of this understanding thousands of years ago.
Quran says death and sleep and quite similar. Death is a constant sleep. GOD TAKES AWAY THE CONSCIOUS OR SOUL during sleep and death and then return it when we wakes up and never return during death. Our sould remain conscious even after death but they go into a other realm where they can't do anything other than dreaming. Untill when God again one day turn their souls to their human bodies and they will be awake and live in hell or heavens forever.
None of this is "terrifying scientists". The so-called "quantum immortality" has been revisioned before, many times. It makes no sense whatsoever. It's built on false premises/interpretations of ridiculous "experiments". It should be called 'quantum choice' and 'many states' interpretation, none of this have anything to do with 'immortality'. Or at least not in the way they want you to see.
Just so you guys know. "Pursuit of wonder" is not a serious scientific channel. It's narrative-pushing garbage.
Any video or thumbnail you see- and I repeat, ANY video you guys see- that shows a puppet peeling off its “mask” to reveal its “real internal head” as a sci-fi cosmic space background: skip it, delete it, block it, and report it as pure, utter propagandist depersonalization garbage. Don’t even waste a second on that shit.
Also notice the same subversion in this channel’s other videos: there’s always a figure with no head, or the head is just some empty vacuum. This is all psyop and propaganda designed to mess with your heads. Be extremely careful with what you consume on YouTube.
There is no quantum theory of such a thing – there are arguments, but not even a hypothesis (a thing that can be tested, and a theorem is a whole shitton of that).
Also, no, scientists are not actually terrified, no matter what garbage spews from someone like Kaku or the like.
You have fallen quite the distance from where you used to be, but hey, like McDonald's – the numbers are all that matters, right?
I think there's just one Alpha cell over there in a dimension inconceivable to ours wherein it is the source of all consciousness of all living beings regardless of size. Each of us own a part of it in that dimension and once our physical body stops storing us, we're just in a state of wandering as an Alpha cell ready to inhibit a new organism? Or maybe even travel through multiple universe in the 4th dimension?
The soul doesn’t disappear, after physical death there is an afterlife because the soul is eternal. God is in control of everything, God clearly explained this in Islam, prayers and supplications (dua’) can change your life outcome (qadr) which corresponds to the multiple reality branches. There are manny dimensions in this dunya but they are part of the unseen, there are jinns who live in a different dimension, we cannot see them but they can interact with humans (through black magic) and people think they’re aliens. Only God knows the unseen and he is the only power in control of every single atom of this world, as stated in the Quran. You just don’t want to accept the truth, we have a creator! And no there is no chance for us to have possibly evolved from a cell that randomly appeared on earth, and this whole universe did not create itself. I invite everyone to read the Quran and all the current science will be crystal clear to you 😉
One of my biggest fears was that if when I die, my mind/consciouness doesnt.
If there was a glitch how can the recreation be perfect? It may be minuscule but surely they are different.
never know a dude this dry and boring could have 3.5 mil subs. i mean if ai cant do this well no or maybe in a year at most i would be shocked.
i feel like once or twice i died in my sleep and instead of "moving on" i just woke up from it like it didn't happen. made me wonder if it could happen like that forever
