A mind-bending theory called quantum immortality suggests our consciousness might never truly die. Instead, it could transfer to an alternate reality upon death. This concept stems from physicist Hugh Everett's many-worlds interpretation of quantum physics.
The theory proposes that every time we face death in one universe, our consciousness shifts to another where we survive. This raises the possibility that we've unknowingly experienced multiple near-death events. Physicists at the Technical University of Munich found that strong interactions can halt decay, leading to oscillations between decay and rebirth.
While still speculative, quantum immortality challenges traditional views of mortality and consciousness. Further research is crucial to fully grasp the implications of this fascinating theory and its potential applications in understanding the nature of existence.
