Quantum Immortality

[clayton86]

This is something I thought about after my accident 5 years ago. Never new it was a actual theory just something I thought of on my own looking back at my accident and constantly hearing people say I’m lucky to be alive and must be blessed/some one looking out for me. 
 

Always thought what if I really DID die and my friends and family are going on without me and this is just a dream or different life kinda like the Jet Li movie “The One” but not that bad a** lol. 
 

Anyone else ever think about quantum immortality? I’ve read a few different theories about it I don’t get the whole suicide version of it. Definitely makes ya wonder sometimes at least me since I’ve had a few close calls I guess getting hit by a truck 5 years ago being the latest.

Nope.  There is one me.  I know beyond any doubt who put me here (who put all of us here) and why we are here.  I know that there is no such thing as luck.  I know that we are of our own free will.  I know that we are incapable of clear understanding and we make things up to rationalize existence because we are afraid.  I know I need to work on being who I should be every day and will never totally succeed, but when I die I will be made whole.  Until that time I will do my best to serve God and my fellow man (and woman).  I've been shot at, stabbed, and hit by a speeding vehicle. I barely made it off the operating table once.  None of these experiences altered what I believe in any way.  I don't know the significance of that, but it seems relevant.

To me the more profound question is if there are an infinite number of alternate universes,  in what percentage of them do fish?

My view from the cheap seats has shown me that we're all immortal, until we're not.  Life is fragile, fleeting and cruel.  I have always imagined I had more far time than I've actually ever had.  Life is the ultimate challege and no one wins.  So we play the best game we can.

This is our one place. I'm the end result of a few billion years of evolution and I am unique in the entire universe (multiverse?). When I'm gone, there will be no one else exactly like me.

I don't really think about it. When your time comes it comes.

Y’all can have all my CDs when I croak. They are scratched up and skip

We all have expiration dates but who do we have a date with ?

[GreenPig]

As long as I don't catch the other GreenPigs fishing my waypoints, it's all good. I don't really want to hurt the other GreenPigs. Can you imagine two 260 lb twins fighting in a jon boat? Wouldn't be good, unless I get his fishing knowledge with a victory.

I'm with @BigAngus752 on this one. I have zero doubts about it.

[Jar11591]

I take solace in the fact that when I die, that is it for me. Immortality sounds like a terrifying prospect. 

[N Florida Mike]

I have complete security in where I’m going , because of the Father the Son, and the  Holy Spirit.

[Will Ketchum]

When I read the word "quantum", I turn off immediately.

[volzfan59]

There are some topics that I don't really contemplate, this is one of them. Like other's have mentioned, I know exactly where I'm going when I pass on. 

 

@T-Billy, I'm a Billy Joe Shaver fan too. Good stuff!

I find comfort in the idea of material reincarnation. The same matter that formed in stars and collapsed into the earth and made mountains and dinosaurs and mammoths just happens to exist in all of us right now. Who knows what the same matter will be doing, say, 200 million years from now? Each of us is a temporary, yet integral pattern in a much larger system.

 

This is why I love the idea of natural burial—once I’m done with my body, I want it to be recycled as quickly as possible.

 

Not sure about quantum stuff. Seems like at the macroscopic scale, are limited to one timeline and one 'version' of ourselves and everything else.

 

Also, check out the Wikipedia page on “eternal return”. Interesting philosophical concept, seems relevant here.

Stealing this from Lemmy.....

 

I'm not afraid of death. How can you be afraid of something that's inevitable?

It's been my observation that people who are afraid to die are also afraid to live life to its fullest and are generally unhappy.

If anything is going to be immortal, it’s going to be a Shimano, not a Quantum.
