Bruno,
Thank you for still working on my post. I am working on the reply, in
particular designing the set of function or number that can be
diagonalized to generate a large number. I shall be busy this weekend
with family matters but I will reply to you in detail.
I agree that the idea of quantum suicide did not originate with Tegmark,
even though he is the one who popularized it. The idea also came to me
independently in the early 1990's as I was pondering the Scroedinger cat
experiment. What if I was the cat? How would I feel? What if I was the
scientist conducting the experiment and I was inside a larger box
enclosing the whole experiment? Would I feel the superposition? These
are very obvious questions to ask. This Scroedinger cat experiment
approximately dates to the 1920-1930's (?) and it is very well possible
that others have had the same thought.
George
