Basically, I prefer Many Worlds. Again I am not saying its not possible, but it has many views and versions.

I mentioned Quantum Immortality in my last post. It is a philosophical idea on quantum mechanics. While we observe people dying around us, we ourselves never percieve our own death (even though people see us dying). This is because parallel duplicates of ourselves are constantly created across new quantum universes. Lets imagine, lets say, a guy called Bob. He gets up, and heads off to work. Imagine all the things in our daily lives that could harm us. Just the slightest miscalculation in driving could lead to accident, and by probability, these things add up. It really surprises me that Bob have lived even this long, his chance of survival in a fixed universe is almost 0. However, luckily in Bob's view of existence, he makes it to work. But due to quantum mechanics, there are all sorts of universes where he died on the way, leading to different timelines where people observed his death. But to Bob, he is unaware of this timeline. In effect, this goes on forever. We are trapped in our universes, and Bob will eventually observe the death of the universe, alone, since everybody is trapped in their own, where they are the only survivors, everybody would be experiencing the same thing. Scary isn't it? But the universe isn't cotton candy, nor is it cold and harsh is just is so.
