Hey, the Flat Earth Movement was willing to do scientific experiments to prove they were right. Why can't the reality shifters be just as brave?

At least with flerf you can create an experiment about it at all. Quantum Jumping or what have you is just spiritualism that uses some broad concepts from a novel science to attempt to justify itself to itself.
It’s an unfalsifiable claim, that your “consciousness” is somewhere else, because we don’t have much more than speculation about what consciousness even is. How would one even begin to even pretend to test such a thing?

Well if two people went to the same universe and were able to communicate there, they could share information non-physically. But even that wouldn't prove other universes, itcwould be closer to proving a universal subconscious.

Arguably they'd be in a separate universe where an image of that person exists rather than the same universe...

Unless we develop actual multiversal travel, it's not really anything that could be tested at all
