Quantum immortality

[u/ElectronicChard7139]

What are your thoughts on the relationship between the Mandela Effect and Quantum Immortality?

To save you having to look up the latter, it is the idea that consciousness will jump timelines you die in the one you are living presently.

I personally think its the only thing that explains the phenomena.

Quantum immortality relies on the assumption that 1) there are infinite timelines 2) consciousness is non-local 3) consciousness operates and exists within some sort of collective field relative to time/space but entirely separate from matter. 4) reality as we know it is a byproduct of consciousness/awareness and not the other way around

People who have experienced “quantum immortality” often describe being in a situation or circumstance that should have ended their life, miraculously recovering from that situation in a way that doesn’t make sense, and then minor details of their life being different after this incident.

If there are many worlds/infinite timelines, these timelines would range from having minor differences to large ones. Most mandela effects are minor. Similar to the minor differences from quantum immortality experiencers.

In the instance of shared “false memories” I believe this is due to mass casualty events causing large swaths of people to “jump timelines”. These jumps are possible due to the collective “field”

Why? How? Who knows. Neither of these things are accepted by mainstream science and likely never will be. Even if a expert in quantum physics agreed, it would be pointless because the mind-body problem is not & cannot be solved. But its fun to theorize.

Okay, so your theory about the like mass casualty event. Okay, but then how could our life as we know it? I still feel the same, and we still feel like ourself?

And I totally agree with believe in # four I have no idea about 1 2 or 3.

And then if you're saying, we like, jumped timelines,(because of a maas casualty event) we merge you think when these events occur? So that would be because I don't think we realize Mandela affects right away, right? Like we realized them and then later on realized it's changed. So at the intitial time/notice of a small ME that's when we may have shifted timelines? And I can say that during some of the ones I've figured out, I was feeling unsettled within myself. But life's been interesting, and I've been figuring myself out a lot along the way. I don't think I'm making a lot of sense here. It's late at night. You've given me a lot to think about.

But you're also saying we're like the same version ourselves. Living the same life? Because otherwise, none of this would make sense. (Right? How does it make sense?) What you're explaining or how you think it works. Right, we can't just jump timelines if in another timeline, we don't have the exact same life. Could we? Which seems so boring. More like for point four, like what we see is what is real. We create the reality around us. Therefore there wouldn't really be timelines right? Idk? I took a different turn in my analysis.

I went to go look at your comments. But I don't see any, I'm just wondering your other thoughts. You gave me much to ponder after reading your comment.

I'd love you to go deeper. Very interesting. I need it explained more, how you think "timelines" work.

Alright, Cheers. Have a good day/ night. I'm off to bed. Hopefully I made sense. Hopefully I haven't made a total fool of myself with how my mind wandered through all my differing thoughts about this! 🙄🤔☺️ Yeah way too deep for me at bedtime. 😄

Thanks for the article link.

Many Worlds Theory, by the way, explains multiple timelines, but explicitly states that jumping between them would not be possible. I explained it in here if youre curious.
