As Michael pointed out, the 2nd law is a statistical law, which says that a decrease in entropy is unlikely, not impossible.. QTI predicts that you will survive the most probable way possible. This means it is unlikely that you will find yourself in a world where you choose to attempt quantum suicide experiments in the first place, but if you do the least improbable way of surviving is very improbable in absolute terms, but not impossible. -- Stathis Papaioannou --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
