Let’s say someone puts a nuclear bomb in your living room. Don’t worry, this is just theoretical. But what if we told you that no matter how unlikely your survival, there’s always a version of you that makes it out alive? That’s the unsettling… and weirdly comforting… idea behind Quantum Immortality, one of the strangest implications of quantum mechanics.
In this video, the folks from Kurzgesagt dive into the bizarre world of probability waves, many-worlds interpretation, and the ultimate science experiment that involves you, an electron gun, and a suspiciously easygoing assistant. The idea? Every quantum event splits the universe. And in some branch of reality, you survive. Over and over. Forever.
It’s a deep, mind-bending look at whether science can actually make you immortal.
Watch the full video and find out if your survival is a quantum guarantee or just a cosmic coin toss.
