Quantum suicide and immortality

bestofwikipedia:

In quantum mechanics, quantum suicide is a thought experiment. It was originally published independently by Hans Moravec in 1987 and Bruno Marchal  in 1988 and was further developed by Max Tegmark in 1998.  It attempts to distinguish between the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the Everett many-worlds interpretation by means of a variation of the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment. The experiment involves looking at the Schrödinger’s cat experiment from the point of view of the cat. (via Larson Fritz)
