Would you accept to be chosen to perform the experiment of the quantum suicide?

I wrote a short story about that, the final line was: "but I'm not afraid. No one ever looks at me."
actually got it published and received a check for about 15 pounds.
Quantum Suicide is a thought experiment that explores the concept of immortality in the context of quantum mechanics. It proposes that an observer in a quantum experiment will always experience the outcome in which they survive, leading to the illusion of immortality.
The Many-Worlds Interpretation is a theory in quantum mechanics that suggests every possible outcome of a quantum experiment exists in a separate universe. Quantum Suicide utilizes this idea to suggest that the observer's consciousness will only continue to exist in the universe where they survive, resulting in the illusion of immortality.
No, Quantum Suicide is a thought experiment and has not been proven or tested through scientific methods. It is used as a way to explore and understand the implications of quantum mechanics on concepts such as life and death.
The challenge in Quantum Suicide is to accept the idea that one's consciousness will continue to exist in the universe where they survive, despite the possibility of death in other universes. It challenges one's understanding of the nature of reality and the role of consciousness in it.
No, Quantum Suicide is a thought experiment and cannot be proven or disproven through scientific methods. It is a philosophical concept that raises important questions about the nature of reality and consciousness.
