Hello,
I am curious about the quantum suicide theory and what it may mean for the individual in his/her own time branches.
The quantum suicide theory states that there is a gun powered by some sort of quantum particle generator that is programed to fire when the particle is there and not fire when it isn't. Since quantum particles in their existence are true and false at the same time this means that it creates 2 time branches: one where you are dead because you were shot and one where the gun did not go off. The individual would experience the gun never going off whereas the bystanders would see him get shot. This is because it is impossible to live in a time branch where you are killed thus, you continue existence in the time branch where your mindfulness is present. So this brings up a question.
Question:
Does everyone in his/her own set of time branches die of old age? Since it is not possible for the individual to live in a time branch where he/she doesn't exist is this possible? Also, if it is why is it possible since you will be dying of old age at the end?
