The Conceptual Quandary of Quantum Immortality
Max Tegmark's articulation of a quantum Russian roulette scenario is a gripping way to grasp the implications of quantum immortality. Imagine a quantum machine gun firing based on quantum uncertainty—each time it triggers, it generates two realities where one version of you dies and another survives. If consciousness follows the path of survival, then theoretically, you would always continue to exist in one version of reality, rendering you effectively immortal.
