I do not believe in the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, I believe in Digital Physics. But I do not claim to have a proof, and it is unclear whether science will ever be able to prove those things. If Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is true (it might be), then Quantum Immortality might also be. In fact, if Many Worlds Interpretation is true, then Quantum Immortality is probably true, because Hugh Everett himself believed in it.

It’s flawed because it assumes the premise - the subject of the experiment must already be in a state of multi-quantum superposition for the experiment to be coherent.

If MWI is true, then QI isn’t merely ‘probably true’, it HAS to be true (you can’t have one without the other).

Of course Everett believed in these, but doesn’t make them true.

So, we agree, it is possible that Quantum Immortality is true.

What do you guys think, is euthanasia justified if Quantum Immortality is true?
