Quantum enrichment in a multi-world interpretation

I don't like quantum suicide. I don’t like all suicide murders out there. But half a million dollars "out of nothing" I would get into the property willingly. And you?..

Well, let's try. 1000 habrovchan throw off $ 1000 each in a special fund. Total million Suppose half a million is spent on legal formalities and on creating a reliable machine for quantum suicide (airtight room, ampoule with a radioactive element, a sensor that releases a deadly poisonous gas or does not release it into the room ... well, everything, everything is as it should be). There are still half a million - this is the prize pool. The machine is set up so that the formal probability of surviving for a quarter of an hour in it is, say, one hundred million.
')
Further it is clear: the first survivor takes the whole prize pool. Project participants cast lots, which determines who in what sequence in this very car climbs. And the experiment begins.

If the multi-world interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, none of the participants are in danger of anything - even, in fact, parting with a thousand dollars. He climbed into the car - lasted a quarter of an hour - got out of there - and, to the sad applause of the other participants, took half a million. What is the experiment and finished. But you can immediately offer to repeat it under the same conditions - if suddenly half a million seems a little. And if suddenly the rest of the participants still have at least half a thousand dollars.

Well, if not true ... Well, from the side of something you will not find out - while watching from the side, the corpses of losers will be taken out one by one from the room. Losers in this world, in yours - there, “at home”, each of them is doing well: they are alive and well and have also been noticeably enriched.

Oh yes. “Quite from the outside,” for those who observe the experiment from the outside, not being a participant in it, all experimenters will die. Well, most likely. Here it is not clear what to do with the prize fund. But you can appoint his manager is not from among the participants. For example, me.

I swear to promise to build a cat shelter of exemplary housing for all this money, without leaving a cent. The working title is, of course, “Schrödinger's Cat.”

No want? .. Hmm. Perhaps, on the "Kickstarter" project to open? ..
