Explanation
Max Tegmark, a cosmologist at MIT, proposed the Quantum Suicide thought experiment to illustrate the Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. The experiment suggests that in a quantum suicide scenario, the experimenter would survive in some branches of the multiverse. Niels Bohr and Max Planck were pioneers of quantum mechanics but did not propose this specific thought experiment.
