Quantum Immortality Test

Not by any rational criteria for a good explanation.

the issue is difficult

And no actual science.

Max Tegmark - Why Is the Quantum So Strange?

I seriously doubt you actually understand quantum mechanics. Given that the people who actually DO understand it have never used it to suggest that people jumping from one universe to another is the best explanation for the Mandela effect, I don't see why I should listen to you when you claim it is.

 

[JohnEmmett]

I seriously doubt … I don't see why I should listen

Come back with actual science, please.

who decides what is actual?

who decides what is actual?

Actual science is something that can be tested and confirmed by other people.

you can test and confirm via memory

you can test and confirm via memory

And if your memory is flawed, it's just going to give you incorrect results, isn't it?

results are reliable

the issue is difficult

Not really. You lay out some generally accepted criteria for a good explanation, you see how many criteria each explanation satisfies and how well, and you compare the results for each.

The timeline explanation fails most, if not all, the criteria for a good explanation; the unreliable memory explanation satisfies most, if not all, the criteria for a good explanation.

for the skeptic only

 

[Kylie]

results are reliable

Not when you are using an uncalibrated method of measuring them.

when you are human you just use your memory

Memory which is not perfect.

Seriously, start providing some evidence to back up your claims.

Youtube videos of people who have the same views does not count as evidence.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Memory which is not perfect.

you need more faith

you don't need evidence, you need faith

 

[Hans Blaster]

you don't need evidence, you need faith

If you want people to take your claims seriously, this is not the way to achieve it. On the other hand, if you want us to think you are a flake, you're on the right track.

What is claimed with out evidence can be dismissed without counter-evidence.

 

[JohnEmmett]

On the other hand …

atheists just express their bad attitude

 

[Hans Blaster]

atheists just express their bad attitude

You've got a claim, and we'd like evidence. It has nothing to do with our religious positions.

If this site didn't require us to display "faith labels" you would have no idea that I didn't believe in any gods. That fact has never been part of our discussions with you, except of course when you accuse people of not accepting you pseudoscience claims because we don't have a religion.

It's not because I am an atheist that I reject your unevidenced claims, it is because I am a scientist. And that's just how we roll.
