You Might Be Subjectively Immortal

In the strange world of quantum physics, a thought experiment suggests you could never truly die. Because every outcome exists in parallel realities, your consciousness might always find itself in the timeline where you survived.

This idea stems from the many-worlds interpretation, which posits that every quantum event splits the universe into countless branches. If a lethal event occurs, there will always be a branch where you remain alive. Proponents argue that from your own perspective, you would effectively be immortal, constantly shifting into the reality where you made it through. While it is just a philosophical thought experiment, it perfectly illustrates how bizarre quantum mechanics can get.
