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. > > >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? > > [Hammond] 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. ======================================== GEORGE HAMMOND'S PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE Primary site http://webspace.webring.com/people/eg/george_hammond Mirror site http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com HAMMOND FOLK SONG by Casey Bennetto http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 =======================================

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 --- Mark --- Mark

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.
