Quantum suicide and immortality

Quantum immortality refers to the subjective experience of surviving quantum suicide regardless of the odds.[6] Keith Lynch recalls that Hugh Everett took great delight in paradoxes such as the unexpected hanging.

Staring Into Someone's Eyes For 10 Minutes Can Alter Your Consciousness

Of course, we’re not talking about consuming them, but rather staring intensely into a pair for a prolonged period of time. Apparently, this can make people enter into an altered state of consciousness. This intriguing discovery was made by vision researcher Giovanni Caputo from the University of Urbino in Italy, but it isn’t his first staring contest study. A few years ago, the scientist recruited 50 volunteers and got them to gaze upon their reflections in a mirror for 10 minutes in a dimly lit room. For many of them, it took less than one minute to start experiencing something trippy.

It turns out they do, as Mark Schnitzer was able to show. By Amy Adams Stanford researchers have used microscopy tools that they developed in the lab to monitor the synapses between hippocampal neurons, opening a window onto the workings of short-term and long-term memory.
