All your details rest upon this. The idea of linear time as it relates to
a linear (film strip) existence. Why not?

However, for your human as apparatus position to be solid you must
equally account for birth. The film just can not be rewound until it
falls off the real reel, or [pun alert!] can it?

A Test:

Since you rely so heavily on what seem to be computer metaphors, how
would you or could you explain this to some one living in, say, the mid
1800's?

Okay, yours is a meaningful post which contains
intelligent on-topic material. I appreciate that. In order
to see this full thread you have to read it on sci.physics.
relativity. There you will discover that this thread is
under a NIMBY attack from alt.atheism. So your on-topic
post is especially appreciated.

Birth is irrelevant to life after death. This is because
memory and experience before the age of a few months old
cannot be recalled by the average person.
Secondly, we are not talking about a "linear filmstrip"
when we talk about life after death. what exactly life
after death looks like, we don't know. we can reasonably
presume the following characteristics:

1. The dream contains elements of a "life review" but it
is not a linear format. Similar to a dream, it may
jump around, flashback to the past, and shift
abruptly from scene to scene.
2. We assume that life after death, while intuitively
a form of "virtual reality" is neither identical
to ordinary reality, nor identical to an ordinary
nocturnal dream. It is we may suppose, a
THIRD REALITY somewhere between the two.
3. Above all else, we must remember that the
core purpose of life after death is to see and
experience a " Beatific Vision" of reality; What
the physicistsrefer to as an un-curved version
of reality.
4. The magnificence, glory, and subframe splendor
of such an experience is practically beyond human
imagination, although it is well within the reach
of a mathematical physics description.

The1800s are nothing! 2,000 years ago St. Paul in
First-Corinthians chapter 15 verses 35-55 described
Life after Death as being a " spiritual body appearing
at the instant of death, in the twinkling of an eye;
going directly to heaven."
"Spiritual body" was the term used in the 1800s, but
today We can replace that term with a scientific term
" Virtual-body" or " cyberspace- body". The new term
means exactly the same thing as the old term except
That the new term incorporates a scientific comprehension
of what actually scientifically happens.
This is based on the fact that in recent decades it
has been discovered that the cytoskeleton of the neurons
in the brain consist of a gigantic digital computer
running at microwave/optical speeds and containing
15 orders of magnitude of heretofore unknown
switching speed and memory power.
It is now believed that the cytoskeleton-microtubule
system is the " Engram" of memory that neuropsychology
has been searching for unsuccessfully for seven decades.
Likewise, it is now intuitively obvious to even a casual
observer that this system is identically the
"unconscious mind" of Psychology and the "Soul" of
Theology.

Any further coherent and logical analysis that you may wish
to provide, or even basic inquiry, will be highly
appreciated by intelligent bystanders reading this
discussion.

Hello.

I haven't seen you or anyone else address the fact
that a replay of one's life in the framework of what
seems like real time to that indivdual, is only just
a replay, without actual new interactions, new actual
people and places.

So really life after death should be NEW life, and
for eternity, which being outside of one's own
experience would have to occur in real time, as
we measure it on the wall clock, and with the
input of other actual people who are also enjoying
life after death.

And finally, even if one's memory were perceived
in 10^50 times faster than measured time, it still
will run out eventually, whereas eternity last to
infinity

Why bother with the download anyway? Hameroff and Penrose suggested
that the individual might leave traces in the Planck scale geometry
anyway. I.O.W.S the individual might be permanently imprinted onto the
universe. Go for the gold, not some fuzzy, edited version of
reality.

IS or IS NOT -> is so or not
What is literal life? and figural life? Which one is a ghost/fetch/
wraith/doppelganger?
