quantum suicide

Don't worry, the inventor of the thought experiment of quantum suicide disagrees with the article himself.

It was proposed as the only experiment that would show different outcomes depending on which of two different interpretations of the world is correct (Copenhagen or Many Worlds), but the problem is that the person who possible could have seen the difference would be dead! That article you showed at "howstuffworks" is just some kind of popular science version that doesn't have much to do with the original (and Tegmark, who the article uses as a source, doesn't believe in the immortality blabbering).

i came across this thought experiment when i was reading about string theory's evolution... Makes you think about what later happens to all these different outcome "slices," could potentially drive you insane...

awesome avatar by the way pekau!  

there is a theory about each elemental particle having an option of movements for each minimal time unit. combining everything you get with a infinite dimensions each with an unique path of evolution or sorts.

now for each minimal time sample in the sequence, each dimensions spawns the number of dimensions equad to the number of particles times options per particle

kind of an overcomplicated BS that people with brains come with after smoking too much weed hehehe...to put it in a simple way


this just puts a arbitrary constraint on the particle (direction of spin) and puts it in a understandable form for most

wish I remeber who came up with original one though

The theory the other poster is speaking of isn't about dimensions.  It's part of the new understanding of paralell or alternate universes.
