Cool Worlds | The Strangest Idea in Science: Quantum Immortality

One of the leading interpretations of quantum theory is that every probabilistic event leads to a branching of reality, where all possibilities occur.

This "many worlds" interpretation has been growing in prominence, but it implies a bizarre consequence. It might mean that you can never die, and will continue to survive not only life threatening events but even old age.


Join us today as we explore the extraordinary idea of quantum immortality.
