What does /sci/ think of quantum immortality?
In short, quantum immortality is a theory that when you 'die' in this reality, your consciousness shifts into a reality in which what 'killed' you did not take place.

This, I'd even go as far as to argue near-impossible because otherwise we'd be seeing people live a lot longer

Our consciousness are neurons firing... If we die, they aint firing anynore... Even a fucking retard could understand this

When they die, they just go to a timeline where they don't die. Why would you expect to see people live a lot longer?

People would have already gone through countless iterations throughout this timeline if that were the case. Suicide survival rates would be much higher as well. You would have to consider this timeline amongst those being jumped between, otherwise you assume location within this supposed multiverse is determined by consciousness. Is that really more likely than "currently most humans die somewhere between 0-200 years"

How is that unverifiable if u are dead... You wont interact with your surroundings ... Hence you have no consciousness

It only applies to you only. You can see others die.

They would keep firing, as you wouldn't die.

It is falsifiable, the only proble is that if you manage to falsify it you die.

So for each person that has ever existed there is a timeline in which that person is alive right now in 2019 even when they are born 2000 years ago?

From my own personal experience I can see that I age and my body can and does sustain permanent damage (eg scars, tooth decay).

Even if quantum immortality is a thing, at some point my body will just wear out.

If QI was real and my life span was infinite, it would be astronomically unlikely that I just happen to be only 28 right now. Life probably resets at some point and you reincarnate into a fresh life.

If that were the case then the person that would die would most likely not have the idea that he died since he would shift into a universe where his death did not happen. This feel like a sort of thing that would seem impossible since the person would keep shifting universes endlessly as he would never be able to die. Which contradicts reality which i think overall that this is impossible

Your subjective existence has a starting point and therefore you will necessarily experience "right now" when you are 28, just as you will experience it when you are 28 million years old.

If QI us real, wouldn't that mean that there should be people who are million years old in "our reality" then?
