What I *am* actually get at is that theoretical physicists are coming around to the rather extraordinary view that one cannot from one's own perspective be killed by any sudden and dramatic life event. No matter how bad the shock, you will always 'come around' to find that you've survived. The tricky bit is that you'll probably have found yourself in a different reality to the one you left. In the one you've left, observers will see your cold, dead, smoking body lying sparko on the ground. Your relatives will grieve, your obituary will be written. But *you* won't know anything of that. You'll just believe you've had a lucky escape; you'll go home and tell your friends and family all about it and years later maybe you'll tell others via the Internet. Sounds nuts? Incredible as it may seem, the majority of physicists currently Well that is funky! Got electrocuted pretty well as a teenager. Fiddling about with an ex-Army ZC1 set I'd converted to mains, managed to take 230vac from arm to arm for what seemed like several minutes, but was probably a second. Was sick, shaking, sore and sweaty for a couple of hours, still had sore muscles for several days. Not at all funny. But the universe I came back to seemed pretty normal. Did the NDE thing after drowning in the school pool as a kid though, can pretty clearly recall looking down on myself, and the teacher "bringing me back" I suspect she still wanted to hassle me about the unfinished homework, and drowning was not going to be accepted as an excuse! Still the same universe though! Barry Lennox |
