Wait so how does quantum suicide work Will I always not die if I try to shoot myself or is that a misinterpretation If you try to shoot yourself with a gun that's rigged to fire or not based on the state of a particle in a quantum superposition, you will experience continuity of consciousness (from your perspective, not dying) assuming the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct. If you're willing to risk it by shooting yourself with this hypothetical gun a few hundred times, you'll either end up in a timeline where you've just made a major breakthrough in physics, or you'll die. --- Sick liaisons raise this monumental mark The sun sets forever over Blackwater Park <cite>CircleOfManias posted [p:885944523] in tfw quantu...
