If we upload our minds into computers, we will be able to code up and inhabit a simulated universe where time travel and teleportation are possible. I wonder if we will want that, though.
- crazydiamond 17y agoAnother way to go would be to link our brains to some computer that can simulate experience. Tired of what the physical world has to offer, people of the future may prefer to live in such virtual worlds, ... as long as the experience seems real, who cares.
- crazydiamond 17y agoHere's a quote from today to supplement top post: Randy D. Allen, a biologist at Oklahoma State University, argued that a smart-enough species could develop a quantum computer and eventually transfer their consciousnesses into it. "No more inefficient metabolism requiring huge energy input, no chemically derived bodies to wear out, no reproduction, no death, no taxes. Just supermassively parallel collective consciousness with unlimited capabilities," he wrote. "Perhaps, through super symmetry or entanglement, they can "see" or "feel" the entire universe. Maybe, they've gained the ability to manipulate elementary particles and can control its evolution and its fate. They would have become, by any human definition, Gods."
