Prologue: The Beginning of the End The night was thick with the scent of rain, though the sky had yet to open. The streets glistened under flickering streetlights, and the air carried the restless hum of a city that never truly slept.

The Conduit: Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Even at sea, a smoke-filled room can be found wherever there are risk-takers. Beneath the low-hanging light over the center of the table, Max and his department heads were enjoying well-earned downtime. It was after nine o’clock when Max flipped through the hand of cards in front of him. He looked around the room, reading the faces of his friendly opponents. Picking two blue chips from the table, he tossed them into the pot.

Is it true!!. Content Warning.
there's a specific likelihood that a certain event occurs, and it will be in a universe where we observe that event taking place, or there’s a specific likelihood that an alternative event occurs, which will be in a universe where we observe that event occurring. what if I were to tell you that you are already deceased and you are completely unaware of it? this isn’t a riddle or a philosophical dilemma; according to a radical theory rooted in quantum mechanics, what you perceive as death might not exist in the manner you have been led to think. the notion is referred to as Quantum immortality, and it questions everything we comprehend regarding life, death, and consciousness. at the core of this concept is Hugh Everett III's many-worlds interpretation, which posits that for each possible outcome of a quantum event, a new universe is formed. if this is accurate, it implies that your consciousness may never truly encounter death; instead, it transitions into a timeline where you persist, indefinitely evading what appears to be unavoidable. the ramifications are significant and disturbing; while you exist here and now, innumerable other versions of yourself might already be deceased in parallel realities. the evidence supporting this isn’t concealed; it’s ubiquitous. let’s explore the reality. the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposed by physicist Hugh Everett III, stands as one of the most bewildering theories in contemporary science. envision this: every decision you make, every event in your life, and every potential outcome that could arise doesn’t merely occur or fail to occur; it divides reality into countless parallel universes. in one universe, you may be engaging with this script, and in another, you might have never clicked on it at all. this is not science fiction; it’s a serious interpretation of quantum theory that aims to elucidate the peculiar probabilistic behavior of particles at the quantum level. fundamentally, the many-worlds interpretation suggests that when a quantum event transpires, reality does not select one outcome over another; rather, all possible outcomes take place.
