I don't want to draw a portrait of Adam Smith :blank: But I have to. For world history.

:hug: It's all just theoretical anyway :P

TAAMEEN DON'T GO :bigcry:

It was pretty intense :nod:

Hey Anna, should we finish our debate about the alternate universe and immortality? :lol:

Paradise just played on a Daytona 500 commercial :nod:

Why isn't the piano riff at the end of the Toronto 2006 version of Swallowed In The Sea not part of the studio version? :blank: Someone needs to explain this to me.

^ Yes, but the US has a terrible taste in music :sick:

Hi David :D

:lol: I think I'm going to do that too!

Gotta go. We'll continue this later :P

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. 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: )

Guys? :uhoh:

Bye Marco! :hug:

That would be cool :wacko: People would get very wise very quickly, seeing that since we could transfer human minds, we could also upload things like textbooks, maps, history, sounds, smells, sights, etc. We could even upload the sense of touch because touch is perceived through our minds anyway :freak:

Could what we perceive as 'ghosts' be considered negative existence? Or can human minds even comprehend 'negative existence' Would they be lacking a gender at all, I guess?

Exactly. But if they no longer want their memories stored in an organic being, couldn't they just 'upload' their memories to a more permanent housing, like a computer? The computer would also eventually decay, but the process would take far longer, and, theoretically, the memories of every single being in the entire universe could be 'uploaded' to a single supercomputer, connected through something like our internet, that would share one person's memories with everyone else. That would give their civilization a 'hive-mind' of sorts, theoretically making them immortal because even if their mind eventually 'dies', the information they had would still be present in another location. So, they would have escaped death, but they would now be 'living' on the harddrive of someone else's memories--in a parasitic relationship of sorts, which would be passed from person to person. /septuplewhat

I saw that documentary! :shocked2: So . . . that means that we're all negatives of ourselves? Our alternate universe (I'm just going to call it AU) selves all have the exact opposite traits that we in this world possess? Or do we exist at all, seeing that the opposite of existence is nothingness?! :nod: :freak:

But what if people didn't actually die in that alternate universe, but just transferred their consciousness / memories to another being when their body decayed past the point of feasible use?! /quintuplewhat

So 42 is an alternate universe that was destroyed when ours was created? So in the alternate universe, wouldn't that number be 24? :stunned: . . . What if everyone is just the second version of ourselves and our real selves were killed in the explosion and we're all just memories projected on a screen, and the real 3-D version died?!

*must resist urge to post .gif*

Now the question is whether or not there was an alternate universe that came before ours that was destroyed in the explosion that created our universe /whoa :cool: Good.

:freak:

Chucks Norris is whatever he wants to be :blank: Duh. O so original :dazzled: Mmm. Cyanide. :mellow:

:nod: But Death himself is immortal, so you can't kill him, so the only way to escape Death is to go back in time before there was such a thing as Death :freak: /wat
