Stompy, it is wierder than that.

If the Mutli-Universe interpritation is correct, what we call enthropy is simply the laws of statistics: almost every universe will have locally increasing enthropy.

The laws of chemestry and biology are also just large-scale statistics on top of QM.

Not only did you die from an aneurysm right then, you also spontaniously transformed into a scale model of a rocketship (made of metal etc).

The universes that you had a headache are ALOT more common than the aneurysm ones, which are ALOT more common than the spontanious rocketship ones. So, you can expect to never experience the rocketship ones, and the aneurysm ones are extremely rare.

But, the rocketship one happened. Maybe, if the interpritation is correct.

The problem is, there are no real practical experiments to tell if the interpritation is correct. So, you can't live your life assuming it...

If you did assume, there are other interesting consequences.

When Jesus said "the kingdom of heaven is near, someone here will live to see it" -- well, every person there became a "quantum immortal" in some reality.

And, personally, it means you can choose which past you will have experienced. You will experience any one of an infinite number of futures: only the past you haved lived will be in common.

But, like I said, you can't assume it. =)
