That's pretty close to what I'm getting at. What I *am* actually get
at is that theoretical physicists are coming around to the rather
extraordinary view that one cannot from one's own perspective be
killed by any sudden and dramatic life event. No matter how bad the
shock, you will always 'come around' to find that you've survived. The
tricky bit is that you'll probably have found yourself in a different
reality to the one you left. In the one you've left, observers will
see your cold, dead, smoking body lying sparko on the ground. Your
relatives will grieve, your obituary will be written. But *you* won't
know anything of that. You'll just believe you've had a lucky escape;
you'll go home and tell your friends and family all about it and years
later maybe you'll tell others via the Internet.


Now that you've explained what you meant, I'll mention
that I must be on at least my fifth parallel Universe.

I told a few tales about my "teleportation experiments"
here some time back, all involving from 220VAC @ 60 Hz to a
few kV @ 400 Hz. I tend to jump rather than tear muscles
because I'm skinny, you see.

Don't bother counting. You have a *lot* more to go, it seems.

Incredible as it may seem, the majority of physicists currently


Well that is funky!

Got electrocuted pretty well as a teenager. Fiddling about with an
ex-Army ZC1 set I'd converted to mains, managed to take 230vac from
arm to arm for what seemed like several minutes, but was probably a
second. Was sick, shaking, sore and sweaty for a couple of hours,
still had sore muscles for several days. Not at all funny. But the
universe I came back to seemed pretty normal.

Did the NDE thing after drowning in the school pool as a kid though,
can pretty clearly recall looking down on myself, and the teacher
"bringing me back" I suspect she still wanted to hassle me about the
unfinished homework, and drowning was not going to be accepted as an
excuse! Still the same universe though!
