am I really quantum immortal? will I never experience my own death?
if thats the case ill definetely needed to start living in a different way. Start slowing down aging, paying more attention to finances,world politics,etc.
is there conclusive mathematical proof of everettian multiverse? Does conciousness never cease to BE?

Quoted By:

"What about when you die?” But experiencing “being dead” is a logical paradox—you cannot simultaneously “be” and also “not be.” One of the properties of consciousness is that it is never subjectively discontinuous. You cannot experience nothing, since even the words “experience” and “nothingness” are mutually exclusive.
A model of how this works in the context of the MWI is neatly illustrated by the so-called “quantum suicide” scenario, in which a gambler playing quantum Russian roulette always feels himself surviving.
Let us envisage this experiment, nicely explained by theorist Max Tegmark. A professor, who is a determined believer in the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, gives to his assistant a special quantum gun, and instructs her to fire successive shots at him. A given pull of the trigger will either instantly snuff out his existence or cause the gun to emit nothing but a loud “click.” If, instead of firing, the gun only makes a “click,” the assistant must shoot again, and so on until the gun actually discharges."

quantum immortality doesn't mean you'll always be alive, in the same way that infinite universes doesn't imply any CONCEIVABLE universe exists. quantum immortality means you will experience precisely the longest possible experience of your life that is physically allowed.
MWI is most likely to be true, by virtue of simplicity.
and obviously consciousness never stops, how can you ever be aware of anything other than being conscious?

Well. It probably happens and it doesn’t happen. Humans die at some point in this world, but there are people, who have been there and came back. They could accurately describe details they couldn’t possibly know, because they happened at the time they were clinically dead. Like who was waiting for them in the visitors area, which watch the first responder had. Who did operate them, what they talked and did. Others dying from something like a car crash. Saw a relative coming to take them with them, before they died. The relative was treated and believed to be alive in another hospital. When they went to phone the other hospital the phone was already ringing to inform them the relative did indeed died. Only minutes before. I personally could remember stuff from before, when I was very young. And that’s something, which is hard to deal with. The dreams went away.
There are already studies done on the NDE. Because due to modern medicine it happens more and more often. Probably god and the system are better than we could ever imagine. They knew we would get so out of touch with the truth and develop an extreme fear of death unknown to other cultures, but they gave us this other special window. When the time is right most deaths are really peaceful. There are a few bad trips with wake up calls.

If you take Many Worlds to its logical conclusion, it does imply that you’ll live forever, or at least until the heat death of the universe.

However, this type of immortality seems highly unpleasant. It involves constant disease, misery, and aging. It would probably get extremely lonely, since eventually humanity (except for you) would become extinct.

The worst part is after the sun destroys earth. After that, you’ll end up floating in space for eternity.

Every person and animal can and will die in your universe, except for you.

The one and only rule of quantum immortality is that you have to live forever in your universes. Nobody else has to live forever in your universes.
