Quantum Immortality

[FoolClimax]

Probably the most scariest concept that no matter what ever you do you will always be conscious. You can't die. Your consciousness will transfer to a universe where you are still alive.
Out of infinite universes there's always one where your body is not dead maybe close to death but not fully dead.

I'd love to be conscious forever, just not in this self.

Horrifying idea

 

[eclosion]

Yeah, this reality we live in is an unknown.
There is a very real possibility that our suffering will never end, maybe the destiny of all humans is an hellish afterlife

If there were a multiverse, why my consciousness doesn't feel like living in more than one universe?

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

For me multiverses are in conflict with Ockham's Razor. But at quantum level there is supposedly a conservation of information, like the conservation of energy or momentum. As the macroscopic world is a result of the microscopic world and consciousness is basically information it could be that there is something like the conservation of consciousness.

Why don't the majority of us remember past lives then? Do you feel many millions of years old? Even if it does happen- it would seem like our memories/ consciousness resets at each incarnation. So- will future 'you' be anymore 'you' than the (possibly) millions of past 'yous' there have been?

Plus- if we really are 'us' as in- we are reborn to the same parents- how do our timelines align? The sequence is all off just in my family. My Grandad died first, then my Mum, then my Nana- 7 years after my Mum. What is my Mum and Grandad's spirits/ consciousness doing while it waits for my Nan to die and be reborn in this other world?

If we are born to different parents then- we aren't even 'us' anymore. We would have totally different genes, could be a different gender, different nationality, different species maybe. I suppose it depends on what you define as being 'you'.
