OK, I have a problem with the many-world interpretation, namely the quantum suicide experiment. My problem: How exactly does your consciousness transfer over? When you die in your current "reality," do you just swap randomly to one of the parallel worlds? Or are each of the conscious entities spawned at each instant completely independent from each other?
I'm just wondering if anyone actually has some logical insight into this problem. Basically, I can't see the quantum suicide experiment proving anything, because it's highly unlikely that you're in the one world where the gun doesn't fire after pulling the trigger 100 times. Oh sure, copies of you would persist in various parallel universes, but considering they're probably independent from you, who cares?
