2023年10月24日 · "Quantum Immortality" is a controversial extension of the already controversial "many worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics. The problem being addressed is that the world seems nondeterministic at the subatomic level, and to be ruled entirely by chance.

2014年5月1日 · Quantum immortality is a variation on Schrodinger's famous "cat" thought experiment, where a cat's life or death depends on the decay of a single particle. Under the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, it seems as though the cat must be both alive and dead until we view it.

2021年6月2日 · Quantum immortality requires a few (dubious) metaphysical assumptions, in addition to the widely-accepted current models of physics: Our modern understanding of quantum physics is fundamentally true, and we just haven't noticed that there are no contradictions in it. The entire universe is governed by the evolution of a universal wavefunction.

2023年9月19日 · Does quantum immortality mean solipsism? Ask Question Asked 1 year, 4 months ago.

Quantum immortality refers to the subjective experience of surviving quantum suicide regardless of the odds. Max Tegmark claimed this was the only way he knew (page 5) to test the many worlds interpretation although the researcher taking the place of the cat would not be able to tell anyone the result since the living researcher would be in a ...

A quantum experiment occurs and one version of you dies while the other survives. The big issue with quantum mechanics is that the outcome does not occur without an observation being performed. And performing an observation requires a conscious observer.

For ‘quantum immortality’ the ‘afterlife’ will be taken to mean those who find themselves to be much older than a normal human lifespan. If the ‘afterlife’ is infinite, then it will have infinitely more integral measure than the normal life.

2024年3月9日 · I saw something about quantum immortality theory but I am unconvinced that it is the same thing." From what I think understand about the many worlds interpretation, there are an infinite amount of universes existing at the same time where new ones are created by every quantum-level "decision".

Let's suppose the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics (MWI) is correct and a Schrödinger's box is possible. I put myself in the box. I live or die. I repeat. One version of me keeps

But I think, it is a generic extension (modification) of quantum mechanics and does not depend on the pilot-wave approach. But yes, other interpretations would need to incorporate it if proved true. For instance, in MWI, quantum immortality goes against Born rule, so can be interpreted as an example of quantum non-equilibrium. –
