Infinite Alternate Realities
Human beings can not and do not perceive their infinite other selves because they are 3D beings, just as light can not experience the linear progression of time because it is a 2D object.

Infinite Alternate Realities
Human beings can not and do not perceive their infinite other selves because they are 3D beings, just as light can not experience the linear progression of time because it is a 2D object.

Quantum Immortality
If light seems to have almost magical properties when observed and interacted with in 3D, what properties might 3D objects and being have when observed and interacted with in 4D or higher dimensions?
Just as light exists simultaneously at all points of its path (from the POV of light) because it does not experience time as a 2D object, a 3D object may exist simultaneously across infinite quantum superpositions, because it experiences time linearly on the 3D level.
Human beings can not and do not perceive their infinite other selves because they are 3D beings, just as light can not experience the linear progression of time because it is a 2D object.
However, consciousness may not be entirely bound by linear time or the three dimensions human beings perceive as 3D objects. Consciousness is perhaps an illusion in the opposite direction to that of light, the 3D expression of the 4D and higher aspects of a life form, such as a human being.
Therefore, every life form is immortal. As a life form dies in one of the infinite quantum superpositions, the consciousness continues in all others remaining. Just as turning off one radio does not stop all radios from receiving that transmission, one instance of a human being dying does not end all instances across the fourth dimension (sometimes referred to as “many worlds theory”).
It may be possible that some communication or continuity is maintained between these instances--these many versions of the same self. This may be evidenced by the “Mandela Effect”, or perhaps near death experiences, memories of past lives, and déjà vu in addition to many inexplicable if at times inconsistent abilities of intuition that some number of human beings seem to possess in greater or lesser degree.
Holographic Universe
Viewing a holographic image at different angles can be described as “interaction.” Observing light changes whether it appears to be a particle or a wave, but in fact this is an illusion. It is neither. Light is a stationary 2D object with the figurative “holographic film” of the 3D reality layered over it, thus changing how it appears (or appears to behave) depending on how it is interacted with.

Impossible Sideways 2D Movement
Light cannot move sideways in 2D any more than the lines in a single frame of animation move. They too are stationary. However, by showing many imagines in rapid succession, the illusion of movement is created.
This is how light would appear to “move” sideways on a 2D plane. It would merely be the consecutive appearance of many new sources of light.
Light is less like a rope and more like a stream of water and this is especially apparent in 3D reality. While light appears to move in “beams” and human being think of the light cast by any light source as a singular entity, it is actually many individual quanta of light known as photons creating this illusion.
So, returning to the idea of motion on a 2D plane, it would be similar to the illusion of motion created by faerie lights, by alternating the bulbs turning on in off in such a manner as to create the sense that they are “marching” in a direction. However, if you focus on a single bulb, you will see it is merely turning on and off at regular intervals.
Each photon is an individual bulb in this illustration. This also helps to explain why light appears to 3D observers as both a particle and a wave, depending on the interaction.
In this case, we might say light is like a holographic image. A holographic image is a 2D* picture with a film layered over it, to give it the illusion of depth or movement when observed at different angles.
*(We use “2D” in the conventional sense here, that images on flat surfaces are considered “2D”, if not literally such.)

Theoretical Dimensions
Black holes themselves may be another sort of 2D object or they may be of a higher dimension beyond time, or they may be a unique 3D object that cuts through many dimensions. There are many possibilities, but it may be useful to imagine a black hole as a 2D object, or maybe the lack of dimension altogether.
If 2D, perhaps a black hole is what lies beyond the beyond the edge of 2D reality. Alternatively, perhaps a black hole is simply what any object with mass in the 2D reality appears as in 3D. It is a massive 2D circle translated into a 3D sphere.
If 5D or beyond, a black hole may be how that higher dimensional object is expressed in fewer dimensions. Just as a 3D object would appear to morph shapes and phase through objects in 2D, a 4D or 5D object may appear as a black hole from a point of view limited by three dimensions.
Certain things are unknowable.
All that we currently know is limited by our perspective.
The old observations wither and give life to new truths.
We will never know for sure.
Bending Light
Light does not move, it only appears to move to a 3D observer. It takes no time at all for light to go from point A to point B in the direction of depth (the third dimension that makes our reality 3D rather than 2D) because, to light, depth does not exist. It is already there. It always was there. Light does not experience Time.
This is further evidenced by gravitational lensing caused by black holes. Black holes are so dense, they observably warp the third dimension. However, this should not apply to objects without mass, such as light, and yet, light will appear to bend due to the effects of extremely massive objects in space.
This seems illogical; however it makes perfect sense for a 2D object, which is stationary. Much like a line drawn on a piece of paper appears to bend when the paper is rolled, light appears to bend when the third dimension is warped by a black hole.

Imagine a circle. This circle is the universe in 2D. Draw a line across any diameter. If this image was translated to 3D, what would it look like?
The line would become a plane, cutting through the center of a sphere. This is how light, a 2D object, appears in our 3D reality.

While light speed travel or even faster than light travel may be achievable by tunneling into higher dimensions of reality, or by manipulating the three dimensions of this one in such a way as to make distance irrelevant, moving at the speed of light by conventional means is not possible.
To move at the speed of light is to become stationary, existing both at point A and point B (in regard to depth at least) simultaneously; 2D. It may arguably be possible for non-living matter to achieve this, but certainly not any known kind of life form.

The movement of the light is an illusion perceivable only to 3D observers. From the point of view of the 2D light, it’s source is irrelevant, as it exists simultaneously at all points along the path that is apparent from a 3D perspective.
This is demonstrated by light’s appearance in this 3D reality. Light is only visible in reflection on the 2D surface of a 3D object. But light “between” 3D objects is not itself visible, because the light itself is 2D.

Light is Two-Dimensional
We live in a three-dimensional (3D) reality and we experience time, a fourth dimension in a linear manner because of the constraints of our 3D point of view. This explains why, to a human being, time and distance are equivalent.
Time = Distance
Similarly, light, a two-dimensional (2D) object, experiences depth from a 2D point of view. So, when a 3D object is represented in 2D, normal three-dimensional movement appears as the ability to morph at will on a 2D plane and even phase through solid 2D objects.
Despite the appearance in a 3D reality that light moves at a constant speed, light is stationary. It is our 3D reality that is, in fact, moving and it moves at all times.
We know that as one moves faster in a 3D reality, time appears to slow down, which is another way of expressing that distances seem to get shorter. At light speed, time stops altogether and 3D reality becomes an infinitely dense film, or in other words, the universe becomes 2D and one moving at the speed of light instantly reaches the outer bounds of the Universe (from their own point of view).
While light speed travel or even faster than light travel may be achievable by tunneling into higher dimensions of reality, or by manipulating the three dimensions of this one in such a way as to make distance irrelevant, moving at the speed of light by conventional means is not possible.

The observer effect refers to changes that the act of observation makes on a phenomenon being observed.
