I post about it here knowing noone's level of istruction goes beyond community college.
I read a paper against quantum immortality.
While I don't subscribe it myself, the entire paper made me guess the guy has no knowledge whatsoever of how it supposedly works:

opinions?

PS: I'm not an english mothertongue, so no bitching about my spelling.

Geez, how fucking stupid are you?
If quantum immortality was true noone would have ever died.
EVER.


Pic unrelated but cool.
Just go to a graveyard to see how fucking stupid your question was.

>> No.1513329

>>1513319
Wrong, no one would have ever died FROM THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVE. From our perspective they may die, from their own they live on, conscious and alive.

OP here.
What I'm curious about is: how likely is the MWI interpretation to be true?

>> No.1513349

>>1513329
lol no, if you don't die I don't see why other should.
Who are you, the chosen one?
And how do you knowyou are the one who is not gonna die?

>> No.1513414

>>1513342
As likely as any other interpretation. I personally don't find it very elegant, but there isn't really a good way to disprove it other than arguing aesthetics.

Quantum immortality is balls because of decoherence.

OP here

>>1513464
In layman terms puleeeze?

>>1513469
I guess it's because we have to learn it from scratches atan advanced age, so we are more likely to catch all of its intricacies, while a child is likely to carry on a given bad grammatical habit into adulthood. Also, people who know a second language are usually more accultured than those who don't, so this might be a factor.

hope this made sense.

The author, Jacques Mallah, is a philosopher, not a physicist.

HE IS TALKING OUT OF HIS ASS!
Although he draws the right conclusions,
Quantum Immortality is bullshit.

If MWI is real, I am simultaneously fucking Angelina Jolie in the ass while Brad Pitt fucks me in the ass. And Lady Gaga is playing with my balls.

And then when we're all finished up Hitler walks in and shoots us all and fucks our corpses then smokes some crack and starts playing Chrono Cross.

If MWI is true, there is an omnipotent, omniscient, benevolent god.

No wait, that's logically contradictory and hence false in every world!

OP here.
I actually googled his name and found a lot of papers about quantum physics, but some of the shit he wrote really had nothing to do with the theory at ll (or actually showed that he hadn't bothered trying to understand it).
Shit, philosophers and psychologists keep trying to pass themselves for scientists...
