Cures for everything are possible. We are just atoms. Nothing prevents rearranging those atoms into any configuration we desire, in principle.

- davidf18 10y agoThat's what I've been saying for years. The transporter in Star Trek simply reassembles atoms.
- SiVal 10y agoThe big theoretical challenge is "restoring" me to a state that has never existed. I want my brain's atoms restored to a young arrangement of atoms in terms of health but while retaining its old arrangement of atoms in terms of learning. There is an existence proof for one or the other but not for both at the same time.
- darawk 10y agoTrue, but there is an existence proof for say, you at 25. And while strictly speaking there's no proof that you could know all the same things you know now, I find it hard to credit the idea that you wouldn't be able to retain your knowledge and your youth simultaneously.
