HLH was given away as a single for some Starbucks offer thingy a few months back. They edited MX and made it a shorter, 20-30 second, intro to HLH. It's all one track, though, and HLH sounds exactly the same otherwise :nod:

Hai Madison :D Care to join our debate about immortality, alternate universes, and antimatter?

k Whoa horses!

Another question that mankind, at this time, cannot answer :P Yes :angry:

Well, I would say that it would be another 'experience' that defines your character (although a massive one, at that). Since your memories and your character are constantly changing and reacting to the stimuli around you, you would remain the same person, but your view of the world would be skewed at a new angle. :uhoh:

Hmm . . . Well, as you said, highly unlikely :P But I'm going to assume that since the 'memories' are paramount in their importance, that every time a memory is uploaded to a harddrive, a physical 'copy' is made also (Now, whether or not transferring memories to words, coding, symbols, or whatever other means you have is possible is an entirely different matter). Of course, the physical copies could be destroyed also (boy, are the odds getting high!), and I suppose that if all of those events were to take place, then all of the information would be 'lost' and life as we know it would end. Of course, if there is no life, can there be death? If life, by our definition of the word, ceases to exist, then doesn't death cease to exist also? And if there is no death, have we defeated it? I was using computers as a theoretical medium--in the far future, we humans will probably come up with something more complex (and then we get into the subject of artificial intelligence). But, say you have a computer on which a memory is stored. The computer could be embedded with a 'code' which allows it to produce a current of electricity / stimuli of some sort that targets the memory and, when the code is 'read' will trigger the memory response of the taste / smell / etc. . . . Although since the memory will lack a physical being, it could be that 'sensing' at all would be impossible. Well yes, receiving an organ transplant (or something similar) would probably change you to a certain degree, but it would also be just like a normal experience: every single thing you have done in your entire life has made you who you are. It has built up your character and emotional span. Having an organ transplant would just be another experience that adds to a massive character that has already developed and is constantly changing. Exactly. I would say that a black hole would be the closest thing (that we can comprehend) that could compare with anti-matter, but even the nothingness of a black hole has mass. I don't think we as humans have the vocabulary or the brain capacity to define something that is the opposite of density, mass, volume, etc.

Aaaand, I'll reply to whatever Anna has come up with after dinner :escaping:

It was kind of confusing :P
