What are among the world's most important problems to solve, why?

Hi Everyone, so, over time, we had actually came to near-maturity creating the basis of The Infinity Project I mentioned before (an economic and innovation forum). A question that we realized having, is -- what is the list of the world's currently most important problems? I and a few friends

Re: What are among the world's most important problems to solve, why?

It's funny. If you look at the surface of it, of course you will get into such contradictions. The real problem that life is solving, is the retention of information under the influence of entropy. Information preservation density and reliability? On Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 6:43:23 PM UTC,

Re: What are among the world's most important problems to solve, why?

Cryonics can help those who are alive today. That is good, but not good enough, since I do miss some people who died when I was 2. Universe can think whatever it wants, but just because the laws of physics had worked until now, doesn't mean that they will work exactly the same in the future,

Re: What are among the world's most important problems to solve, why?

Information about the past is available to us (at least according to our present understanding of the laws of physics). It's the future that we have only limited information about. Brent On 7/7/2016 3:36 PM, Mindey wrote: Cryonics can help those who are alive today. That is good, but not

Re: What are among the world's most important problems to solve, why?

Well, for psychological reasons, I agree with John Clark's initial response.The goal, I am guessing is restoration, in principle, as Brent Meeker's comment, earlier. I am guessing that file restoration from the past, if done exact enough would render full resurrection or file restoration of us,
