if the universe stays around?

During the past week, read articles about a 40,000-year old Russian worm that was in hibernation and was woke up. Human longevity keeps going up (Olivia De Haviland is over 100 years old).

Can immortality be achieved?

We are immortal. We might be able to to stay around but we are far from it.

It will happen, if we sustain. One day we can upload our minds to a computer. IF we sustain!

Those who made this universe probably did that already. Probably.

The mind is already being downloaded by the brain, the brain being a biological computer.

The mind is immortal because it's not a thing...only things of the mind are mortal, the mind that is not a thing is immortal like space. Space being the container of everything forever.
Forever because even the container is limitless without border...No thing is contained because the container is not a thing...equals immortality.

The mind can never disappear, where would it go..there is only here now nowhere and everywhere. It's a self-sustaining feedback loop.


Watch this space.

It may be going up slightly but people in the past, barring accident and disease and having a fairly wealthy life-style, lived about the same length we do now. What has happened is that more of us live to that age now thanks to Science.

No Entropy will fuck us eventually, unless God\'God' has some card we mere mortals are not aware of.
