According to one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/tag\/tiktok\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a> theory, the answer is yes. And it&#8217;s blowing millions of minds worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Joli Moli (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@joli.artist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@joli.artist<\/a>) is quite used to spooking and perplexing viewers with <a data-linked-post=\"2646874170\" href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/trafficking-conspiracies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">conspiracy theories<\/a> and alternative hot takes. In her video titled &#8220;Apocalypse&#8230;again,&#8221; Joli introduced the concept of Hugh Everett&#8217;s quantum immortality. Fans of the Marvel &#8220;multiverse&#8221; are pretty familiar with this concept, where instead of experiencing death, &#8220;your consciousness just gets transferred to a parallel universe where you survived,&#8221; the TikTokker explained.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@joli.artist\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"@joli.artist\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@joli.artist<\/a><\/p>\n<p>#mandelaeffect #apocalypse #atworldsend #quantumphysics #quantumimmortality #ChimeHasYourBack #manyworlds<\/p>\n<p>Joli admits that this might burst the bubbles of those seeking the &#8220;sweet relief&#8221; of a widespread apocalypse. &#8220;If the quantum immortality theory is correct,&#8221; she deduced, &#8220;you&#8217;re just going to wake up in a parallel universe with no memory of the fact that you just survived an apocalyptic event.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Joli, the only sort of clue or hint you&#8217;d get that you might have woken up in a parallel world would be &#8220;new Mandela effects.&#8221; You know, the strange phenomenon where all of a sudden there are two completely opposing memories of historical events? Yeah, quantum theory says that if you remember Curious George having a tail, you probably died in another universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\" data-np-autofill-form-type=\"other\" data-np-checked=\"1\" data-np-watching=\"1\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"curious george, quantum theory, quantum immortality, death, parallel universe\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"7d6ec6079ac22ffaa11628e2f8235fc7\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/assets.rebelmouse.io\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy82MTQ2MDQyOC9vcmlnaW4uZ2lmIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTc4NTAzODg0NH0.yOjQlqI9a46ps12a6n8wsw6grxOT5ZnQVL431ARZk5A\/img.gif?width=980\" height=\"229\" id=\"38a8f\" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20205%20229'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"205\"\/> Did Curious George have a tail?  <a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/curious-george-12lpkw9wXAMJLa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Giphy<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Driving her point home, Joli added: &#8220;What I&#8217;m basically implying here is that in our reality, apocalypses happen every day \u2026 after the inevitable apocalypse occurs, you&#8217;re going to wake up the next day in a new reality, and the next thing you know, you&#8217;re going to find yourself on Reddit talking about &#8216;since when did <a data-linked-post=\"2673879387\" href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/pizza-hut-classic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pizza Hut<\/a> have two Ts?!&#8217; Arguing with people who are natives of this new reality, talking about &#8216;it&#8217;s always had two Ts&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I, for one, would never want to live in a Pizza Hut universe. Blech.<\/p>\n<p>Still not sold on the theory? Joli has further arguments: &#8220;You don&#8217;t believe me? Okay, it&#8217;s been about 65 million years since the asteroids allegedly took out the dinosaurs. &#8230; So you mean to tell me that in the last 65 million years, no other asteroids have come through the neighborhood, taken us out? You think we&#8217;re just that lucky, huh? No other super volcanic events in 65 million years? We&#8217;re just out there in space, just dodging asteroids by luck, right? Earth doesn&#8217;t have a steering wheel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hmmm. That&#8217;s a good point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"earth, space, asteroids, planet, universe\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"3f2c0cb4c131a1a0d111da171b43af86\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/assets.rebelmouse.io\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy82MTQ2MDQ4Mi9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTgxNzA1MTQ5NH0.MVESOz75SDOkbRy_tqkgFYBLlj8-vcnvP9mBFbF__Eo\/img.jpg?width=897&amp;height=430&amp;quality=85&amp;coordinates=0%2C54%2C3%2C116\" height=\"430\" id=\"151a7\" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20897%20430'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"897\"\/> &#8220;Earth doesn&#8217;t have a steering wheel.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Photo credit: Canva<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Joli concluded with the upbeat sentiment that &#8220;Earth is probably always being taken out, and our consciousness just keeps getting transferred to another parallel universe, and another one, and another one. For all you know, the apocalypse maybe already happened last night\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So far, in this reality anyway, the video has 4.9 million views. And\u2014as to be expected\u2014the video left many feeling uneasy.<\/p>\n<p>One user commented, &#8220;Ok, I&#8217;m actually kind of freaking out right now coz I&#8217;m not the conspiracy typa guy, but you&#8217;re like eerily making sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A few resorted to sarcasm as a defense mechanism (understandably), like this Twitterer: &#8220;Thanks, I was overdue for another existential crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The discourse got so intense that people were reporting physical side effects from the stress. One person wrote: &#8220;The thought of never being able actually to die is extremely depressing, and it&#8217;s giving me a headache.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another added, &#8220;Bruh, I&#8217;m just done with this anxiety. My body [is] emotionally [and] physically TIREDDD.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One commenter, who had their priorities straight, wrote: &#8220;You&#8217;re over here talking about extinction-level events and I&#8217;m having to check on the two Ts in Pizza Hut.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pizza hut, pizza hutt, wayne's world, parallel universe, pizza\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"8af74395a0a936bcc87a91c5d0276567\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/assets.rebelmouse.io\/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy82MTQ2MDU1NS9vcmlnaW4uZ2lmIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTc4NzU0Mzg2OH0.Wva9HmRkfsM8CnEDzZwC_oAa4_sEHs5GXjf4pl4iP-M\/img.gif?width=980\" height=\"320\" id=\"a5287\" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20480%20320'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" width=\"480\"\/> Pizza Hut.

A small disclaimer: You might be left with even more questions.<\/p>\n<p>Though we may never really know what awaits us on the other side, it is interesting to think that we might live in a multiverse with infinite second chances.
