	Quantum immortality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quantum immortality is the controversial speculation deriving from the quantum suicide thought experiment that states the Everett many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that conscious beings are immortal.
		For quantum immortality to be true, either the bomb would have to misfire (or otherwise not detonate) or an event would have to take place which made use of scientific principles that are not yet proven or discovered.
		Although quantum immortality is motivated by the quantum suicide thought experiment, Max Tegmark, one of the inventors of this experiment, has stated that he does not believe that quantum immortality is a consequence of his work.

		Sometimes immortality is used as a punishment, or a curse that might be intended to teach a lesson.
		Beings born with immortality (such as deities, demigods and races with "limited immortality") are usually quite adjusted to their long lives, though some may feel sorrow at the passing of mortal friends, but they still continue on.

		Immortality is the concept of a condition of potentially infinite or indeterminate lifespan.
		The idea behind quantum immortality is that the physicist would only be able to experience the universes in which he survives, even though they may be a small subset of the possible universes.
		Technological immortality is a concept which postulates that the biological nature of humanity is only temporary; should technology permit, people may circumvent death and evolution, simply by taking artificial forms.

	Immortality - Information About Immortality, Life After Death, Paths to Spiritual, Physical, Quantam Immortality
		Immortality of the soul is a cardinal tenet of Islam and is held generally in Judaism, although it is not an essentially Jewish idea.
		This view of immortality is vastly different than the others in that it places value not on the continuity of one's physical, spiritual, or intellectual "self", but rather on how one will be remembered by generations to come.
		Another view of immortality concentrates on leaving offspring, or immortality via evolution, which is curiously similar to Richard Dawkins' theory of the selfish gene.

	Damn Interesting » Quantum Mechanics and Immortality
		Quantum Mechanics is a curious area of study which began in the early 20th century when scientists began to discover that the theories of electromagnetism and Newtonian mechanics, which so elegantly describe the movements of normal objects, completely fell apart at extremely tiny atomic and subatomic scales.
		At quantum levels, matter exists simultaneously as particles and as waves (wave-particle duality), a particle's position and momentum cannot be precisely known at the same time (Heisenberg uncertainty principle), and the state of two objects can be intertwined, regardless of the physical distance between them (quantum entanglement).
		Quantum mechanics is not in the business of exact predictions, rather it deals in probabilities when describing the position or momentum of a given particle at a certain time.

		This evaluation from the perspective of the man in the box, directly leads to the theory of quantum immortality, which speculates that a conscious being cannot cease to exist.
		The highly controversial conclusion to quantum immortality, is that if the Everett Many-Worlds Interpretation is correct, than from the conscious observer's perspective, they will never cease to exist.

		QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS is not written from a religious perspective and is also not limited to New Age pseudo-science, astral-projection, or para-psychology.
		Quantum Physics explains scientifically our inner certainty that death is not an end, but a door to a new existance.
		QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS uses the terminology of the newest concepts of Physics to describe our greater potential not as Newtonian blobs of tissue with our feet planted on dirt, but as Quantum persons, immortal, without set horizons, fully participating at the cosmic level of existence.

	Quantum immortality
		Quantum immortality is the controversial speculation that the Everett many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that a conscious being cannot cease to be.
		If you haaaaaave to believe that humans exist in all parallel universe, then let’s assume, that Quantum immortality only happens when humans die, and not when other things (like dust, animals, etc.) die or act different in one universe and not others.
		It’s obviously much more likely that this kind of Quantum truth doesn't limit itself just to humans, but rather to all matter in the universe, which is why, more likely than not, humans only exists in this parallel universe and not in any others.

		Why, by the quantum relativistic means of phase-space-shift differential, whereby each "degree" of the Universal/Cosmic condensate-field ground-state of consciousness is described by a phase-space-shifted self-ordering of that Universal/Cosmic ground-state, with each "phase-space-shift" (OR otherwise "?-shift") producing a different degree-dimension of consciousness.
		In and of the inclusion of the quantum forces, our "soup", or "condensate", has now become a "condensate-field", of the quantum forces AND their fields, as well as the previously mentioned (and defined) quantum particles, the quantum axion particles, which are the primary "Essence" of the "soup" that we are now calling a "condensate-field".
		At the "heart" of all neuroglia, within the nucleus thereof, the three "elements" of quantum dimensionality, as a functional process of that condensate-field ground-state of consciousness which is that quantum dimensionality, do exist and act as a microcosmically LOCAL "supervision" center FOR that neural cell-synaptic junction WHICH the individual glial cell surrounds and encloses.
