Logical possibility in Quantum Mechanics |
"My understanding is that in fact it is quite possible in QM -- although
the statistical probability is very very close to 0 -- that all the
atoms that constitute my body simultaneously decay in such a way that my
body disintegrates [on Earth] and moreover that a different set of atoms
on Mars spontaneously assemble themselves into an exact duplicate of my
body."
Is this belief a conceivable possibility or a logical possibility?
Regards,
Stephen

This violates energy conservation. Your body can't disintegrate
without energy being applied. Likewise, your body can't integrate
without giving up energy.

Depends on your definition of possibility.

Decay into what?
Assemble from what?
Won't happen in the lifetime of the universe.

And neither will even one electron disappear in one place
and re-appear in another- or even go ever-so-slightly out of
the path that is dictated by their inertia and their attraction to
their
nucleus (or Black Hole)- contrary to QM B.S.
