Yes I read about it. First of all please let me point out that I have very little knowledge about all this, I'm just a fan of physics.

But the thing I don't understand about all this is that if the many-worlds interpretation accepts quantum immortality then wouldn't that collide with the second law of thermodynamics?

Living Forever?

In the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, is there a branch of the universe where an individual avoids every possible cause of death and thus lives indefinitely?.For example: I get a heart attack at 82, but one version of me doesn’t, and so continues living. Then, at the age of 85, another thing happens, but in one version, it doesn’t. How long can this go on?
