Quantum suicide cannot convince anyone other than one's self that MWI is true. Everyday experience does not confirm this, since we do not meet people several hundred years old -- every one dies at their appointed time. The quantum suicide experiment has been run billions of times, always with null results. Bruce -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
