George Jiri Opletal (3:634/397.0) on "What if?" with me (12 Oct 98)... RT>> From what you say above, the theory predicts physical properties and RT>> particles. RT>> How does one go from this to an afterlife (as that was the RT>> original question)? GJO> Well, the afterlife as proposed by this theory is very different to GJO> conventional ideas on the subject. Firstly, the case is made that GJO> humans can be emulated just like any other machine [this also means GJO> that computers can someday pass the turing test]. The theory next GJO> predicts that under a special gravitational collapse of the universe GJO> [which living creatures must produce], condition become possible to GJO> produce a computer which has its computational speed and memory GJO> diverge to infinity become the final collapse. Because of this GJO> increasing power, all possible histories are emulated which includes GJO> yours or my ideal world or what ever. Normal you can not obtain GJO> sufficient information to emulate a human being, however by emulating GJO> all possible combinations, any future history or past is played out. GJO> Tipler adds that the Omega point will be the moral guide in picking GJO> which histories are to be played out since in a great deal of them, GJO> you will be in terrible pain for example. However, I don't buy it GJO> since I find it difficult to understand how such a claim can be made GJO> about the extreme far future [far longer than the earth's history]. GJO> There are some other problems, but its an amazing theory. Sounds like science fiction to me.
