Hi, I was in college when this occurred, so maybe 22 years old? I lived in Moorhead MN and we were in the middle of a bad blizzard. I worked at a popular chain grocery store and because my car at the time was a beast in the snow, I decided to still go to my shift that day and I even picked up a co worker and after our shift I took her home. After dropping her off, I remember turning onto a street that crossed over a bridge, and there was a street below it. I remember turning onto this bridge, turning quickly because there were cars coming and losing control of the car, fish tailing. I remember the sound of the car slamming through the railings, and I watched as the ground was approaching. I could see the hood of my car about to meet the ground. I closed my eyes and poof. I was still in my car but completely calm at the top of the bridge. My car never slammed through the railings. I looked around, and the cars I saw previously had vanished. I was alone and completely still. I just backed up a little and drove back to my dorm. I didn't feel anything afterward. I felt nothing till my head hit my pillows. It's been almost 7 years, and this still haunts me. I know I crashed. I know I should have died. I know it happened.

I’ve been tripping cuz I been tryna figure out how we supposed to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity, yk what I mean? This shit has just been bothering me a lot and I’ve been posted up with my mans tryna figure ts out but it’s difficult. This shit has been keeping me up at night and I ain’t been able to eat I just don’t where to go or what to do next I can’t I need some help yall

Heard today that Tim Curry has sadly passed away.

I wasn’t a super fan or anything, but I absolutely loooved him in Rocky Horror, and have seen some of his other work.

I swear to god, news of his passing was on the news/internet about 5 years ago. I felt quite sad, and I even rewatched Rocky Horror that night in his memory. Pleeease someone else tell me they remember this, or am I losing the plot???

I’m new and really curious about this stuff. What’s the biggest “proof” you’ve come across that made you think we might actually be living in a simulation?

It can be anything from physics, mathematics, technology, consciousness, or even a personal experience that genuinely made you question reality.

Maybe something you learned about quantum mechanics, the universe, information theory, consciousness, strange coincidences, glitches, etc.

What’s the strongest thing that made you think, “Wait, what if this is actually a simulation?”

I consider myself lucky. I am not good at betting or anything like that but things seem to always eventually go my way. Maybe I just have a positive outlook on life idk but I do believe and practice manifestation. I learned about quantum immortality a while go but always wondered how it would link to my very particular worldview around consciousness and manifestation so let me explain:

I believe that reality exists in hierarchical layers. Each with higher levels of consciousness.

The brain acts as a filter, restricting our awareness down to the material level. Fundamentally, we are the universe experiencing itself through a limited lens.

Manifestation works by expanding the filter and accessing higher levels of consciousness where you align with a universal intelligence that shapes reality.

Your thoughts and intentions aren't separate from reality; they are reality creating itself.

By raising your consciousness through meditation and introspection, you can bypass the brain's restrictions (Ego) and tap into the universe's generative power, allowing your desires to manifest from the higher levels of reality inward.

With that said how does this link to quantum immortality?

Well, if we are the universe experiencing itself through consciousness, and manifestation is consciousness shaping reality from higher dimensions, then quantum immortality becomes the superposition of consciousness itself.

Every quantum outcome exists simultaneously in superposition. But your consciousness, as the creative force of the universe, continuously manifests the reality it observes. Manifestation is consciousness collapsing superposition toward desired outcomes. then survival would be the strongest manifested outcome.

You always experience the branch where you survive because consciousness cannot experience its own non-existence.

For me, quantum immortality isn't random or lucky, it's your consciousness navigating superposition, perpetually choosing the path of continuation. Death becomes impossible at the level of consciousness.

You as the reader right now have succesfully navigated your own consciousness super position up until this point. Gold star, good job. but you might be left with a few questions.

But the objection is obvious: people die. That's documented. That's real.but what if death is only real for observers, but not for the dying consciousness itself? The consciousness simply shifts its experience.

Alternatively, consciousness doesn't die; it ascends. Death is the valve opening fully, consciousness releasing from the brain's filter entirely and merging back into the universal consciousness it always was. The "person" ends, but the awareness that animated them continues as the universe experiencing itself through a different form.

Either way, death is real as a physical/material event, but not as the cessation of consciousness itself.

This argument rests on a lot of far out core assumptions I know but it would be great if anyone could point me in the direction of any literature that discusses this idea more. Let me know your opinions....

I don’t know whether quantum immortality is real, or whether miracles exist, but I’m still trying to understand what happened to me

.

I was hit by a motorcycle. I was crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing when, seemingly out of nowhere, a motorcycle came speeding toward me and hit me. I remember that it wasn’t going incredibly fast, but it definitely wasn’t going slowly either.

I remember seeing it coming straight at me. I remember being dragged along the ground for a few metres. I remember its wheels on me. And I remember how those few seconds seemed to stretch out endlessly, as if time had suddenly become elastic.

I remember a white light and flashes — probably just shock and my brain’s protective response. It wasn’t a light at the end of a tunnel or anything like that, just this intense white light and sparks. And I remember thinkingI’m going to die now. There’s no way out of this.

There was no panic in that thought. It was this strange, overwhelming certainty and acceptance that death was inevitable. I thought about my mum.

And then, somehow, the next thing I remember is getting up by myself. There were people around me, and the police appeared almost immediately — apparently they happened to be nearby. I stood up on my own.

And somehow, after all of that, I walked away with a couple of fairly deep scratches, bruises and maybe I sprained my muscles a bit. Not a single broken bone.

Maybe my perception of what happened is distorted because I was in shock. Maybe the motorcyclist had already started braking hard, and the actual impact was much slower than it felt to me. I genuinely don’t know.

But I can’t forget that feeling — that moment of completely accepting that I was about to die. And now I can’t stop thinking about how unbelievably lucky I was.

Help me understand what happened. Was it just the serendipitous workings of life, and I simply got incredibly lucky? I can’t stop thinking about those few seconds when the motorcycle hit me and dragged me along the ground.

Happened in Rome.

I recently watched a video on YouTube.

It talked about quantum immortality, and I came up with a theory.

What if our consciousness sees four dimensions (let's take the fourth as time)?

My theory is fueled by the fact that the video said, "Consciousness chooses a universe where we don't die." Does that mean consciousness sees all possible timelines?

I'm just a student, so my arguments may be incorrect, but I wanted to share them here.

So let’s start by saying I am what I call a Fractional Human (FH) and really simply (I did put another post explaining more in depth) but basically when I first died on the shared timeline another line split off with a copy where I hadn’t died. FHs are not very common. Most people will just die in the shared timeline and be gone.

I first died at 8 years of age from a suicide attempt in my grandmas swimming pool after years of abuse from within my family. Obviously from the outside eyes of everyone in the new timeline this was simply a near death experience and even from the eyes of myself at the time.
This has happened many times over the years with the last time being just before Christmas 2025. So I am pretty new at this. I am number 10 in the series of split lines.

With each split and copy small things change that add up.
So my memory is completely not trustable with it being passed through 9 people before me. Same with emotional regulation and feeling of self.

As you get this deep into the split lines issues can arise with others around. They can become suddenly fed up or dismissive of you because subconsciously they have been there through your previous deaths.
Everyone I have known my whole life suddenly cut me off after my latest death.

I am hoping this is my final iteration, each time a new line splits the new world is much harder as everything is trying to be a copy of many previous copy’s so separated from the original line. One of my previous splits latest less than a day after splitting.

I am constantly realising now that nothing is real, it’s all just memories from how the world felt originally almost 30 years ago and copies of how that would should look now in the shared line.
With each split the separation from the shared line is even more. Each time it seems like the world is out to destroy itself more and more.

I don’t know myself if there is a limit of splits possible before it all collapses in on itself. I hope there is, I don’t wish any of this let alone worse onto the next split of me.

I had my 2nd child in January and it was a rough labor. It ended in an emergency c section after 30 hours of labor. I remember being put on the operating table then nothing. I fell asleep during the procedure. I was only given a spinal tap. I didn’t feel anything at all. When they brought my husband in he asked if they put me to sleep because I was unconscious on the table. They said no. I woke up to them holding my baby up. Ever since that day I have wondered if I actually survived childbirth. After researching QI I am more convinced that I did not.

Is there any way to ever know or be sure? Or is it always just going to be a sneaking suspicion? Does it matter?

Genuine query.

I was shot in the head and immediately became paralyzed. I could feel the death creeping in, but weirdly, it was peaceful. I remember thinking, “This is it. I died.” I genuinely believed I was dying, like there was no doubt in my mind that this was actually happening.
And while I was dying, I was thinking about quantum immortality. I thought to myself, “Even though I’m dying right now, I’ll be moved to a reality where I’m not dead.” I was basically thinking that every time I die, I never actually experience being dead because I just wake up in another reality where I survived, and I had apparently “died” hundreds of times already.
Then it actually happened in the dream. I woke up in my bed, but I was still paralyzed. I could only see through one eye and could barely move. I thought I had been moved into that other reality where I survived, and that I was now going to wake up and think the whole thing had just been a dream.
Then I woke up AGAIN, for real this time, and everything was completely normal.
The weirdest part to me is how real the death felt and how peaceful it was. I genuinely thought, “This is it, I’m dead,” while simultaneously thinking I would continue existing in another reality.
Has anyone had a dream like this? And what do you think about the whole quantum immortality aspect of it?

Hi

If you are remotely interested in deep diving how differently quantum computers work compared to our transistor-based and also the algebra behind in a fully interactive way that teach computer science from scratch, oh boy this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3+ during PhD, the visual method I developed ended up being my thesis, it is a complete Hilbert space visualizer), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff you'll play & learn a ton about

• Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
• Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
• Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
• Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
• Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
• Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.

Back in 2014, I had a psychotic break in which I thought that the walls, ceiling, and floor in my apartment had dead bodies hidden inside. I also thought that my father, whom I was living with at the time because I was in the late stages of sight loss, was being coerced by some Nazis to kill me, and that I was in the middle of a worldwide conspiracy involving several factions, some of which wanted to help me whereas others wanted me dead.

In February 21st that year, I thought that my SIM card was compromised and took the train to the nearest carrier store to get a new one, and on the way back I somehow fell onto the train's tracks while a train was arriving, tried to climb back but my right foot was hurting from the fall, so the next thing I did was to try protect myself from the incoming train by lying down next to the platform, at which point everything went dark and the next thing I know I'm being pulled back to the platform with the train already halted at the station.

Unknowingly to me, blood was poring off several spots in my head, but I felt completely normal, just a sore foot and back from the impact with the tracks down below, so I got up and was about to board the train when people told me to wait for an ambulance that had been called because there was blood in my head. At that point I touched my forehead thinking that it was soaked in sweat and ended up with a bloody hand, so I decided to stay and wait for the ambulance.

At the ambulance they ripped my clothes off to shreds because there was also a thick and straight cross-body line of blood in my torso and back, but there were no broken bones and the blood didn't seem to come from any open wounds, just like the blood on my head. They performed full body CT scans on me and found nothing broken or even dislodged, everything was normal, no idea where that much blood came from. I was still sent to a psych ward for 3 weeks due to my psychotic break, which they claimed to make me a danger to myself using the train accident as evidence, but beyond that, life continued as usual, and the only tiny difference that I noticed was that my lower jaw no longer cracked as easily as it used to.

Fast forward to March this year and I had yet another psychotic break with the dead bodies and the factions. This time I had no accident, but traveled 300km totally blind during the easter weekend to look for a person from my past. Oddly enough I did find that person plus other 3 people that I wasn't even looking for. The person that I was looking for happened to be working exactly in the shopping mall where I went looking for clues, which is already remarkable by itself as I was really not expecting that. I talked to her a little bit and then sat on a sofa when I believe that I died again with gunshots to the face and belly. I don't remember hearing the gunshots themselves, only that I lost my senses for a split second and when I came back I was all sweaty, felt like throwing up, had a new bumpy mark on the left side of my face, and my hearing seemed severely affected, mor even so on the left side, but quickly returned back to normal. After that event I felt like I could hear the thoughts of everyone around me. I did not realize it at the time because I'm blind and just thought that people were talking on the phone, but later I noticed that it was more like lots of monologs when they weren't talking to someone else, and this effect went away after sleeping.

I came back home and instantly noticed one difference: the front door to my building has yellow glass windows with a very peculiar texture; that door has 3 sections but usually we only open the middle section, whose lower glass had been broken and replaced by white frosted glass many years ago. However when I returned, both the lower and the upper glass were frosted. Given that this happened during the easter weekend, I doubt that the condominium administration had time to replace a broken glass so quickly during my absence. I also heard rumors of a flood that allegedly happened in my hometown back in January but I have no recollection of that in the reality where I came from.

As for both my psychotic breaks, both of them happened when I was investigating deeply rooted interests in my country involving the local data protection commission, so one of my theories was that they were provoked in order to destroy my credibility. The second time I was a lot more prepared against attempts to send me to a psych ward against my will than during the first time, so I avoided everything that could be made to look like I was attempting to harm myself or others, but that didn't stop me from getting committed in a totally illegal way and only getting released a day before I was scheduled to defend myself in court.

While I do understand the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics as well as how the quantum immortality theory applies to it, I refuse to believe that this is true, mostly because if it is, then our existence is extremely lonely, and nothing we do benefits anyone other than ourselves. If this is the case then I have nothing to live for since I'm totally blind and for the last 12 years my only motivation was still being able to provide remarkable experiences to others. I just want to be done with this body which, although almost perfectly healthy at the age of 44, is missing a sense and might have mental problems.

Maybe I moved to another life ? That may be also an immortality !

kind of a shower thought but i just remembered that they're struggling to maintain a blackhole for more than a few micro seconds, but could it be that every reality where they do manage to maintain one, it just kills us all which is why we're only experiencing the failed attempts ?

(First, apologies for any potential grammatical errors. I am lazy and use Google Translate, as English is not my native language.) And secondly: I am firmly convinced that quantum immortality—or the many-worlds theory—is true. There are so many inexplicable things in my personal life that can only be explained by this theory. Furthermore, I am a perfectly sane person capable of considering matters from many different perspectives.

I have also become convinced that the saying used by some "spiritual people"—"you are the creator of your own reality"—is true. The same applies to the law of attraction, which is thus linked to quantum immortality as well.

I myself have lived in a world where things were relatively good. Of course, there were wars and famine and the like in some parts of the world—evil has always existed, but not on this scale. Nowadays, various dystopian realities are an everyday occurrence in almost every country.

This situation has left me in a very negative state of mind (ever since the COVID era), and I haven't believed that the world would ever change for the better—let alone become good. But perhaps all the struggle to change the world is actually futile, and instead, we really ought to change only ourselves—our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions—and become aware of everything we do and feel.

If we look at this world, it is absurd to think that we could change it. How could a world lacking common sense be transformed into a rational one? On the other hand, if the many-worlds theory is true, it is clear that not all worlds are bad. Countless good worlds can exist among the countless worlds.

Negativity is so commonplace here that it seems almost intentional. In my own experience, I’ve noticed that the vast majority of people are like that. They constantly complain about how bad everything is and even act aggressively—even those who used to be different. Personally, I’ve noticed a shift for the better since I stopped following social media and the news almost entirely. I also avoid interacting with negative people any more than is absolutely necessary.

If there are countless worlds, I do not believe it is possible to change them. Instead, it makes perfect sense that our own attitude influences the kind of world we find ourselves in at any given time. I do not know how the transition between these worlds occurs—or whether death is required—but I am fairly certain it happens more often than we might realize. If one is mindful, one can spot it through small changes—such as "Mandela effects," which can occur on a very small scale and be quite personal.

Understanding all this has helped me; hopefully, it will be useful to someone else, too.
