You would find yourself surviving in the least-weird way. Rather than quantum-tunnelling to the antipodes if a nuclear bomb detonated over your head, the nuclear bomb would fail to detonate. Rather than become increasingly decrepit at the age of 200 as the oldest living human, you would find yourself in a world where anti-ageing treatments or mind uploading were available. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
