1. I have taken a quick look at the paper.
- It is an interesting paper from a scientific and philosophical perspective, as the above reviewer concluded.
2. The main issue with Buddha’s teachings is the following.
- There is no way to incorporate “stopping rebirth at the Arahant stage of Nibbana” in this framework.
- According to the proposed model of “Quantum Immortality,” life will continue indefinitely.
- Another issue is that even a “human gandhabba” has a finite lifetime. It will die after many thousands or possibly millions of years to “grasp another existence” as a Deva, Brahma, animal, or other form.
3. Thus, my main objections are primarily with the proposed theory of “Quantum Immortality” based on the “Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.” It is not compatible with the concept of Nibbana in Buddha’s teachings.
- The above reviewer points out two of several proposed quantum mechanical theories: the Many-Worlds and Bohmian interpretations of Quantum Mechanics.
- The following video provides a brief explanation of the several proposed interpretations of Quantum Mechanics.
