This is a question that I've always asked myself and it's an area where I"m a bit confused about in all the quantum theories (well the philosophical ones).
I guess it's also my lack of understanding the many worlds interpertation as well.
Anyways it all spawned from thinking about the quantum immortality theory and how our consciousness follows the possibility that keeps it alive. Regardless if this is true or not, it got me thinking.
From my persepective, all things revolve around my consciousness, not only in avoiding death but in the worlds it transverses.
So.. given this, if I think about the question... is there a consciousness going on inside the heads of all the people around me (the same type of conscious-experience-awareness)? Naturally I think there would be some sort of collision/conflict if they are co-existing at the same 'time'
It would seem more sensible that they are .. only like NPC's** for the time being that my consciousness is transversing these worlds... and at another time, and at another place ( I have no idea how this is all happening), they will be transversing through their worlds, where I will be just an NPC.
So I guess I'm wondering what you guys thought about reality being a single-player game (at a time).
**NPC (non-player characters) sort of like the bad guys you shoot at in video games (no one controlling them)
