BANG! Or No BANG?

[quote]Enlightenment in the barrel of a gun




Sit in front of a machine gun linked to a quantum particle and pull the trigger. This rather drastic experiment, called quantum suicide, could result in a pool of blood or you could survive having resolved one of the great debates of physics. The intelligent money â€â€

Wait ... so if we set up the experiment so one result obliterates the data, and the other result (assuming two mutually contradictory resuts) is recorded, then we will get a series of positive results?

Wait...aren't we supposed to use a cat for these kinds of experiments? Not that it would be any more pleasant for the cat in the "pool of blood" universes, of course.

Budget cuts. Besides I hear grad students are cheaper.
