Immortality is when you are to old to be able to even name
your age. After that, you have always the same age.
Nice aphorisms. But irrelevant. The question is why don't
we see almost everyone else as younger?
That happens when we are not old enough, but also, we might
always backtrack to younger people when close to death or
when dying, …
What utter nonsense. You cannot jump between Everett branches, so
you cannot jump to a branch in which you were young.
Depends on what you mean by "you".
I mean the person who has lived on this branch since birth. In every
other branch in which copies exist, they occupy that space. So you
can't simply "become" one of those copies on another branch -- what
would happen to the one that was there? So you do not transfer
memories or anything like. And you certainly can't become a younger
copy of yourself.
I think it's what Bruno refers to as "indexial". He just stops pointing
to one branch saying "me" and starts pointing to a surviving branch and
says "me".

Physics rules out backward causation and branch jumping.
Physics is inconsistent with itself and fails to explain
significant aspects of observable nature, so it doesn't really
matter what it "rules out". We don't know enough for such bold claims.
Physics is not inconsistent with itself or else existence would be
impossible! Some physical theories may be marginally inconsistent with
others, but that is another matter. It does not mean that there is
open slather for you to believe whatever you want, especially if that
is inconsistent with well-established theories.
