I'll be right back, I'm framing my posters. *tells Alex and Taameen to hold their horses*

My first shiny on Platinum was a Rattata. :lol: What's SOPA?

YOUR RATTATA EVOLVED INTO RATICATE! I thought so. :P Bye, Fran! :hug:

^ High five! :awesome:

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

Bye Fran! Go get some sleep. :hug:

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). 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. (...that was a giant post. Sorry to everyone who's too scared to contribute! :lol:)

TAAMEEN NO :bigcry: *works on reply*

Alex! :hug: Yeah, hold on a moment. I need to reply to your post. :P Good luck with that! :lol:

:nod: MOM HURRY UP GET FRAMES Pshh, the exact date is more special. :phu: Sleepin is givin in So lift those heavy eyelids I use that to motivate myself to run in the morning. :lol:

^^ That's awesome! :hug: Let's see, I got The Grapes of Wrath from the library, bought some running clothes and frames for a few posters, received a notice that I was in the final pool of applicants for the best high school in Delaware (:dance:), and The Fault in Our Stars arrived...with a J Scribble! :awesome: It's been a pretty nice day, all in all.

Okay. :nice: /enlightened

Ironically, I was born exactly two years after Deep Blue beat Kasparav for the first time. :lol:

What's a desis? :P *switches song* DEEP BLUE KASPAROV 1996

It is? :thinking: *to mom* Hurry, I want - no, need - to frame my posters! GO GO GO GO! OHHHOHHHOHHOHOHOHHHHHHHHH :dazzled:

February is my birthday month. :D

500 FREE MINUTES! ...enough context? :P

My copy finally arrived today! AND IT HAS A J SCRIBBLE! :dance:

I now have an advertisement for 'calling India cheap'. They're discriminating, Taameen! :uhoh: (and hi Fran)

Anyone here? :curtain:

Well, it's good that we're both leaving for now! :P :escaping:

I have to go shopping right now, but I'll reply as soon as I can when I get back. (I'm putting this whole conversation into an OpenOffice document :lol:)

They could, but how would we access these memories? More importantly, would they die if the whole entire supercomputer failed (ignoring possible backups. Or you could say that the back-ups failed too)? And even if their conciousness is still 'alive', is the person themselves (themself? :freak:) still alive? Are physical bodies and minds an essential part of the consciousnesses of human beings and all living creatures? I'd say that human minds can't comprehend negative existence. However, there is technically 'antimatter', which is negative matter, which most people aren't able to comprehend anyway. I'd say that they start as the opposite gender in their AU selves, but then find that the opposite gender of their AU selves (their 'original' gender at birth in this universe). (most people reading this thread can't even comprehend what we're trying to say :lol:)
