“If the Many-worlds Interpretation is correct, when the electron passes through both slits, the physicist will be split into two alternate realities, one in which he lives and one in which he dies.”


“In the reality where he dies, he simply ceases to exist. But in the reality where he lives, the experiment continues uninterrupted. Because the reality where he lives is the only reality he would be able to perceive, he would never die.”
