The point of view of the cat of Schrödinger
Marchal, 1988
If there is for the consciences beyond, I do not see why we would not discover, not the means of exploring it Bergson

This passage, rather intended for the people familiarized with the quantum physics, montrerait* which there exists a state parallel at the alive state. In other words a world in which the spirit could exist virtually.
*mais my reading, more intuitive than scientific, is that of a philistine,
The combined assumption of Everett and the mechanism makes it possible to conceive a form of survival, and to distinguish brain death from absolute death
Let us consider a human subject carrying out a measurement on a quantum system whose space of the states is of dimension 2, the clean vectors are fup and fdown, corresponding to eigenvalue UP and DOWN (like the spin of an electron).
F=? N anfn = {12} (fup + fdown)
And let us suppose that one connected a bomb with the device of measurement in such way that its firing is activated by the down result mesure of the spin taken by the subject. The subject decides to reiterate this measurement on an indefinite batch of particles, all the particles individually (as that is possible in the interpretation of Everett, to also see Hartle) being described by F. the experiment is strictly equivalent to simple a télétransport.
The observer divides and one of the two observers is destroyed by the explosion of the bomb.
Interior, i.e. from the point of view of the observer reiterating the experiment, it selects continuation UP, UP, UP… in consequence of télétransports.
For an external observer, not-destroyed by the bomb, continuation UP, UP, UP, is stochastically impossible and it will be pilot, in accordance with the quantum prediction, of the explosion killing the observer.
This experiment illustrates the character confirmable interpretation of Everett.
Unless destroying with each experiment whole planet, this kind of confirmation can be only one confirmation with the first nobody.
That jumps to the eyes in this version of the cat of Schrödinger, where one puts oneself instead of cat of Schrödinger, but rises conceptually from the mechanism for the experiments from survival to duplications, or teleportations (= duplication + annihilation).
