Are We Already Immortal?
This is not a frilly spiritual question. I’m asking from the perspective of hard science.
My logic goes like this: If we develop time-travel technology — insofar as at least looking into the past, whether it be via peering through a wormhole or other asofyet unproven science fiction — then we will be able to view anyone’s DNA in the past. After all, what would stop us from simply “zooming in” to the subatomic level? It would be no different than manipulating a set of binoculars in a video game.
If we can look at anyone’s DNA, all it would take then would be a “zoom in” on their brain’s synapses to capture that person’s neurological state of being right before they died, and we could clone them. Then, using age reversal technology, they could choose to live forever as any “age” they like.
So, as long as we develop the ability to peer into the past at any point in the next 20 billion years of our existence, we’ll be able to bring back anyone who has died. And they’ll be able to choose to live forever.
