On the other hand, the more often you are scared half to death, the more alive you are, as long as the polarization is at a different angle.

 

(Seriously - this is a weird effect - and it makes no sense unless you dispense with "common sense" and observe facts)

I love’s me some Zeno’s paradox.

No need for heads to explode…this is just an indication that we live in a quantum universe where there are minimums for space (1.62 x 10 to the minus 35 meters), time (5.39 x 10 to minus – 44 seconds) and I personally suspect other things like angles and probabilities; see Planck Minimums.

Basically, Zeno’s paradox gets resolved if we accept that at some point, there is no half way…you are either here or you are in the next unit of space…you are either now or you are in the next unit of time.

Fun fact, there are far more Planck units of time in one second than there have been seconds since the big bang 13.8 billion years ago.

What is the Planck Minimum unit for Life? (% alive)

Simple…one moment you’re alive and then, 5.39 x 10 to the minus -44 seconds later, you’re dead.

In terms of percent alive…I think this is best characterized as a probability and I believe there is a lower bound (may I indulge myself by calling this the RX Reven’ Minimum) where the probability of being alive could be zero or it could be 1 in a Googleplex but it couldn't be 1 a Googleplex squared for example.

Essentially, I suspect that at some point, extremely low probabilities spontaneously drop to zero because, well, the universe doesn’t have enough memory capacity to hold infinitely large numbers….same with angles and maybe some other stuff that haven’t thought about.

Sorry you asked???
