One of the leading interpretations of quantum theory is that every probabilistic event leads to a branching of reality, where all possibilities occur. This “many worlds” interpretation has been growing in prominence, but it implies a bizarre consequence. It might mean that you can never die, and will continue to survive not only life threatening events but even old age. Join us today as we explore the extraordinary idea of quantum immortality.

You have to die at some point, you won’t love until 110
This is a neat concept, however we should strive to live this life to the fullest . It could be only one
YOU DIE TOUR NOT WALKING AROUND ON EARTH,,,,YES YOU MIGHT BE IN PARTICLE FORM ,,,,MOST PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO BE IN PARTICLE FORM
I've died in several fatal accidents and came out unscathed in another dimensional reality…ALL THE TIME!
There is some branch of reasoning where we take the principle of mediocrity seriously, in which case, we are tempted to conclude that each of us is in some sense inevitable. Which is strange to think but also not entirely nonsensical.
It sort of depends on if humans are each like some ridiculously precise floating point number or if we are like entire families of numbers.
A measurement of a electron can not be taken without interacting with the electron thus effecting what it was doing. It has nothing to do with consciousness. The word "observe" is misleading. In the case of the double slit experiment the word observe means gathering information using scientific instruments. Which by using those instruments you are physically interacting with the electron causing it to change what it was doing before you interacted with it. Again consciousness had nothing to do with it
I’m 6 years old and I have aids and cancer and my kidneys and liver are failing and my brain turns off and on randomly, and I got a limp I got a bum eye my hand has a rash. Watching this made me feel better! Hey guys it’s the 6 year olds mom and he died in a fire thank you guys for giving me sympathy
Was it the content or your voice… it had me glued. By any chance you’re a teacher? 😅
23:24 actually transporters were considered very dangerous in star trek early on in the timeline.
DOn't poison the cat!!!
Playing russian roulette under this theory doesn't guarantee that you won't become paralyzed or brain damaged. Don't play russian roulette lol
What if we could see these particles very interesting
Does this explain the doppelganger scenario? If i died already and dont know it, there could be a double of me
Yep another video that can't explain these topics in layman's terms.
Technically, the mean modulus across all possible worlds for you being "alive" decreases monotonically but never reaches zero. Or, as the famous quantum physicist Billy Crystal once put it, you are only "mostly dead".
Paused at 8:08 minutes in for another day. Looping back once watched in entirety.
Every hair-brained theory is acceptable, but the thought of an all-knowing God that created everything is just simply ridiculous, humanity is pathetic 😞
In the branches where you are dead, the friends and family you left behind still miss you.
I have 2 questions:
1. If you held a normal, everyday gun to your head and fired, you would die due the rules, right? There is no quantum probability it’s just a gun. But then again isn’t there a tiny, minuscule chance that the gun will malfunction due to quantum chances, or that the bullet will just phase through you entirely?
2. If someone made a machine that made 1 person immortal forever, and attached it to a quantum randomiser, choosing a continent, then a country, then a city, then a suburb… narrowing it down to one person, if you do not get selected and then go on to live your life and die and (according to the answer of question 1) stop existing, what happens to that quantum, 1 in 8 billion chance you that got the immorality machine? Does your consciousness transfer into it? Did that version of you that didn’t get selected ever exist?
Replying a year since this upload. Consciousness is truly complex. I had twenty-two Electro Convulsive Therapy treatments. Twenty-two times when my consciousness went into limbo. I believe once you die, unforeseen or foreseen, that ends our timeline. When death happens, our brain fires up like a fireworks finally over several minutes. The question is this. Do we pass along our conscious being into our future selves. And if so, would this explain those overwhelming feelings of deja vu and synchronicity? This is where philosophy takes over.
"All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream" , Edgar Allan Poe.
Kim Kardashian publicly tweeted "I literally died!" on November 23, 2015. I think she was trying to warn us.🤔
The physical observation of the wave, like watching it, does not change the outcome of this experiment as everyone presumes. It is when you place a device that measures or detects when a particle has traveled through one of the slits that the outcome changes. This detector does have an affect on the particles themselves although not much but still a physical interaction. It is stated that the interaction is of minimal affect and should not cause the change in the experiment but to me the physical interaction could have some unforeseen outcome and may actually be the catalyst for the anomaly.
This is me from another universe, look I don't have a lot of time but I had to kill myself to get here, and well,.everything is fine cool world, but your KIDS WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR KIDS ! We gotta get you here FAST !!
So that's what the rake is !!
What is the music starting at 19:45?
I'm beyond glad that this confirms my own theories. I feel validated that I'm not alone in thinking that this is the way. Thank you.
Let's exchange the car in a box to a chihuahua.
Please.
But surely you have to die at some point?
