I asked a passing AI -
'Does the multiverse imply that humans after death live on in another universe?'

The AI considered for a few seconds, looked rather shocked at the
question and replied -

The concept of the multiverse is a theoretical framework that suggests
the existence of multiple universes, each with its own set of physical
laws, constants, and initial conditions. While the idea of the
multiverse has gained popularity in scientific and philosophical
discussions, it is important to note that it remains a speculative
concept without empirical evidence.

In the context of the multiverse, there are various interpretations
and theories regarding what happens to humans after death. However, it
is crucial to emphasize that these ideas are purely speculative and
not supported by scientific evidence.

One interpretation suggests that if the multiverse exists, there could
be universes where life continues after death in some form. This idea
stems from the notion that if there are infinite universes, then every
possible outcome and variation would occur somewhere within this vast
cosmic landscape. Therefore, proponents argue that there might be
universes where consciousness or some form of existence persists
beyond physical death.

However, it is important to recognize that this interpretation relies
on several assumptions and speculative reasoning. Firstly, it assumes
that consciousness can exist independently of a physical body, which
is a topic of ongoing debate within philosophy and neuroscience.
Secondly, it assumes that the multiverse exists and operates in a way
that allows for such variations in the laws of physics and the nature
of existence.

It is crucial to highlight that these ideas are highly speculative and
fall outside the realm of scientific inquiry. The concept of the
multiverse itself remains hypothetical and lacks empirical evidence at
present.

While the multiverse hypothesis has gained attention in recent years
due to its potential implications for cosmology and fundamental
physics, it is still an area of active research with many unanswered
questions. Scientists are currently exploring various theoretical
frameworks such as string theory, inflationary cosmology, and quantum
mechanics to better understand the possibility of a multiverse.

In conclusion, while the concept of the multiverse opens up intriguing
possibilities for different forms of existence beyond death, it is
important to approach these ideas with caution. The multiverse remains
a speculative concept without empirical evidence, and any claims about
the fate of human consciousness after death in other universes are
purely speculative and fall outside the realm of scientific inquiry.

Sounds reasonable to me.  :)
