Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 195: Alternative immortality?
After some discussion, everyone decided that, except for some informatics deciphering, this high-tech instrument should be temporarily sealed, and after the home planet environment has settled down, more refined research will be considered.
As for the high-dimensional fragment, it is even more difficult to deal with, and it can only be temporarily sealed.
Zhang Yuan sighed and said: "In order to repair the loopholes in this high-dimensional prison, Gaia's artificial intelligence, Yita will cut off the connection with this high-dimensional fragment... So, if you enter again, it is likely to be Falling into the real high-dimensional space, there is no way for atoms to exist directly."
"...We want to crack the mystery of the high-dimensional world, it is really harder."
One of the scientists asked: "So, Dr. Zhang, what is the so-called amaranth space?"
Zhang Yuan rubbed his temples: "I don't know, it's a noun that is not in our human language database. Anyway, since the other party told you so, let's not act rashly. Pay the price of life, but there is nothing It doesn’t make much sense to return..."
After the discussion, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief, whether they were curious or willing or not.
After the meeting, Captain Zhao still had some work to do, and he left the meeting room first.
After losing the constraints of the leadership, everyone started chatting casually, including what the silver-white material on that instrument was, whether it was a metal, or a composite ceramic or the like.
Even such a small issue has been arguing for a long time. Some people are still betting enthusiastically that the bet is a few pieces of chocolate...Chocolate is a high-priced luxury item, and even Zhang Yuan wants to participate enthusiastically. Up.
He thinks that those shells are just ordinary alloys... a lot of things, enough performance is enough, there is no need to use particularly tall materials. He dared to pack tickets, and people in the 50th century still used iron pans when cooking.
Some people are discussing how the uploading of consciousness is realized, whether consciousness is really separated from the human body, or is it idling in the computer?
What is the energy system of this robot and so on.
A comprehensive alien technology product, there are so many things that can be explored, and any one of them can be studied for a long time.
Among them, Zhang Yuan is most concerned about a philosophical issue.
Is it possible to realize true...immortality by uploading consciousness?
Speaking at the front is an expert in bionics, Ichiro Yamamoto.
"According to our preliminary analysis, according to this technology, it can upload everything in the human brain, including consciousness, spirit, thought, and memory, to computers or other artificial intelligence machines... Yes, it doesn’t seem to be necessary. The brain is the hardware support, anyway I don’t know how to achieve it. It’s beyond imagination."
"Then you can re-transmit this part of the data back to your body, and then the person will be resurrected again."
"Then I have a few questions..."
"First, is'I' this group of data, anyway to describe the ****Ziman brain with the soul. As long as this group of data is supported, I am the real me? This The problem is very critical to us."
"Second, is it possible to use this technique to replace the body in order to achieve true immortality?"
"Our body will age. This is inevitable. No matter how advanced biotechnology is, it will still age. But if we have this technology, as long as we prepare a new body and reinstall the data, can we restore our youth?"
"There is also a third point, can this group of data be backed up to create a new me in batches? When uploading consciousness, what about the original consciousness? Why did the original consciousness disappear? Is it dead? Later generation Is this consciousness a clone with the same memory?"
"In other words, if a clone is formed by erasing the original consciousness... Uh, what I am talking about is if, for Dr. Zhang Yuan and Dr. Li Zhendong, several experimenters... this erasure is repeated. What's the point of cloning technology?"
These questions made Zhang Yuan a little creepy, and the discussion in the conference room gradually became louder.
He couldn't help turning his head back, and looked at each other with Li Zhendong.
Li Zhendong made a stern face, frowning: "Then what... As one of the experiencers, I have already died once? I am already a new me? Shouldn't I... Ah, I'm dead, I Live again, I die again."
Zhang Yuan couldn't help laughing.
As for the philosophical discussion in this area, human beings are still in a rather naive state. However, in the face of this problem, it has to be carefully considered.
What is the data uploaded by this group?
The soul?
If there is a soul in the world, then all the problems that should be worried about will disappear...
The point is ~IndoMTL.com~Zhang Yuan doesn't believe in the existence of souls at all. He will not attribute his own existence to religious products that are invisible, intangible, and unproven.
If the soul cannot be verified, then there is no need to consider it.
In this world, there are too many things that cannot be verified. For example, define a life body A arbitrarily, assuming it is eternal and immortal; define a substance B, it also exists forever, Immortal. By analogy, it is possible to define various messy living substances such as C, D, E, F, and G.
It is impossible to prove whether A, B, or C existed in the imagination, that is to say...they cannot be proved, nor can they be falsified. When these things have no effect on human beings, there is no need to consider them.
This principle is called "Occam's Razor Principle".
Compared with the soul, Zhang Yuan believes in some theories about "Bozeman's self-awareness" more.
He stood up and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, first of all, as an experiencer, I think... I'm still the original me."
"Why do you say this? According to the'Bozeman Theory of Self-consciousness', human self-consciousness is a series of quantum entangled states that appear in a unique environment. Quantum entangled states can achieve overall transitions, but they cannot be replicated exactly."
"Why? Because once you try to copy, you must read and observe the entangled state inside. Once observed, the wave function will collapse."
"What is the result of the collapse of the wave function? Of course, it is the dissipation of self-consciousness, and people die, becoming a fixed value, not a random value."
"So, the will can be transferred, but not copied."
This statement is not very convincing. Bozeman's theory of self-consciousness is just a conjecture in itself. Explaining with conjecture is not convincing.
