WMAP was flawed according to the latest sky survey announced recently. The big acceleration has long ago reversed and heat death here we come. Tipler's new claims are wrapped in his theology, yet can be instructional none the less, unless you feel that uploading and antimatter weapons are logically impossible forever? Yes, his omega point is over kill, but this was for lots of other mindful things aside from resurrection, which is the greater importance to humans. There seem to be better ways then the long wait offered by Tipler. One way, is to comprehend that at basis, the universe and the info it contains is available and transportable, and has evolved this way for a very long time. -----Original Message----- From: John Clark <[email protected]> To: everything-list <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Apr 25, 2015 12:19 pm Subject: Re: Practicalities of Mind Uploading

If the "you" who woke up this morning is the same "you" that went to sleep last night then the answer to the above question is obvious.

The quantum state of your body changes about a hundred thousand million billion trillion times every second of your life, but subjectively it doesn't cause a loss of personal identity, and in a case like this subjectivity is far more important than objectivity.
