(154,021 posts)what happens to the information? Quantum Mechanics is getting down right weird, and the people doing this research have made zero comments on personality surviving. QM also requires that all information survives. So what happens to it?
You might want to say this is not possible, that is your prerogative, but the bleeding edge of science is not fully and completely discounting this, and all has to do with quantum entanglement and other real strange shit, including the fact that this brain seems to function as a quantum computer.
As I said, your prerogative, but I have my doubts you have done anything even close to reading a tad on this.
I should remind you that there was a time that the earth was at the center of the universe. We also lived at one time when Panspermia was completely rejected (it'ssss BBBAAAACCCKKKK), and that a few other things were questionable. People with good education and of good social standing would never, ever consider this to be even valid. Of course there was also a time when we had canalli on Mars. It was seriously considered as a real thing.
So to be so cocksure as to say this is not possible, strikes me of religious belief, and not just scientific skepticism.
One thing I have learned from talking with people who are actually working in QM and reading a lot of it, is that it is down right weird, and that a lot of the principles are yes, out there.
By the way, none is talking of soul either... that is for your religious types, or for that matter your philosopher types. Now consciousness is a whole different matter.
Here, just one article for your perusal, there are more out there.
