I need to sleep

Like I said, they would all be linked through something similar to our Internet. Once a memory is uploaded, it remains on the internet even if the original computer that uploaded it is destroyed. The same happens in this circumstance. And the supercomputer would also be similar to the internet: not present as a whole in any one place, but divided up among thousands of computers in all corners of the world. Most of the memories of these computers would overlap, which means that if any one failed (or, even a good majority of them), the information (and memories) would still be present, but scattered.

 

I would say no. Physical bodies have no bearing on the life and mind itself. People can get organ / limb transplants (which originally came from other people, of course) and still remain the exact same person

Let's assume that the entire internet is hosted by millions of servers. Since all of the computers are relying on the internet for the memories to be present, what would happen if every internet server was destroyed/completely corrupted (unlikely, I know, but still)?

 

Additionally, 'capturing' these memories on a device that, for all practical purposes, has no senses (touch, taste, etc.) would be fairly complicated. How would you be able to recreate these memories from simple data files? Computers can only do so much.

 

I disagree. As you said, organ transplants are performed regularly, and the people who receive them are the same. However, I would argue that one's physical body highly affects how their mind works. For example, if someone is overweight, they may have lower self-esteem - and self-esteem is, in essence, a mental function. (that's not a great example, but I think you get the idea).

 

But wouldn't negative matter be considered something similar to a black hole? If matter has mass, volume, etc. then wouldn't antimatter simply be a vacuum? It would (for intensive purposes) weight nothing, take up no space, an could exist in another plane of existence (i.e. the past).

 

Pretty much.

 

(Probably not :lol: )

Antimatter, since it is considered the reverse/negative of normal matter, would also theoretically have an anti-density and anti-mass. A vacuum is created when there is no mass (and, by extension, density). The question then becomes how to describe this 'anti-mass'; it's not a vacuum, but it's certainly not matter as we know it.

Bye Fran! Go get some sleep. :hug:

oh wait

 

I want to contribute to that debate :snobby:

That got me thinking

 

One person = one body

 

Organ transplants are happening reguraly, everybody knows that. It's usually only one organ.

 

Can a person have their whole body tranplated? :thinking:

I don't have an idea what are you talking about these computers and memory. :blank:

Faster please :P

That's what I was thinking about. Although it's currently impossible to have a brain transplant, let's say that in the future, they're possible.

 

Example: A woman is involved in a horrible car accident. Her entire body is traumatized, and, for all purposes, she's 'dead'...but her brain is alive. Doctors manage to transplant her working brain into another body. If she woke up and survived, what would be going through her mind? She had been in one body her whole life, but now, she looks completely different - and most observers will think that she is, indeed, a different person; what happens to a mind transferred to another body?

I feel I should contribute to this discussion about anti-matter and whatnot. But I'm too tired and by the time I have slept and come back the discussion will have moved to some other completely random topic :lol:

If you are even here

I feel I should contribute to this discussion about anti-matter and whatnot. But I'm too tired and by the time I have slept and come back the discussion will have moved to some other completely random topic :lol:

 

Who knows? :lol: Alex and I were talking about this almost four hours ago, and we're still on the topic. :P

HEY BOM TATATATATA RATATATATA

I'll think about this tomorrow :P

 

Have to sleep really

 

Night! :hug:

HEY BOM TATATATATA RATATATATA

YOUR RATTATA EVOLVED INTO RATICATE!

 

I'll think about this tomorrow :P

Night! :hug:

I thought so. :P

 

Bye, Fran! :hug:
