I’ve spent the last few hours falling down a massive rabbit hole starting with US classification laws and ending in the mathematical possibility of quantum immortality. I wanted to share the "limit case" logic we developed regarding the nature of time and consciousness.

The "Infinite Machine" Hypothesis: If we assume a detector with infinite precision could measure the "gravitational memory" (permanent scars in spacetime) of every event that ever occurred, and we had infinite computational power to deconvolve that data, we could theoretically observe all of history from a single point.

Key Pillars of the Discussion:

The 4D Block Universe: The theory that the "loaf of bread" of time is static. Your birth, your death, and this moment are all equally real and eternally "recorded." There is no "now," only a location in the block.

Retrocausal Handshakes: Using the Transactional Interpretation of QM, we looked at how "manifestation" or envisioning the future might actually be a future measurement reaching back to define the past—effectively a "handshake" across time.

Future Memory: Is Warren Buffett’s early certainty just a "pre-recollection" of a future that already exists in the block?

Quantum Immortality & Boltzmann Brains: If consciousness is non-local and tied to the 4D structure, we might be subjectively "trapped" in life, always following the branch where we survive, potentially as a lone brain fluctuating in a void with false memories of a "Big Bang" universe.

TL;DR: We aren't moving through time; we are 4D "time-worms" in a static block. Our "choices" might actually be retrocausal signals from our future selves, and because consciousness requires an observer, you may mathematically be unable to experience your own death.
