As far as afterlife goes, what is "us" is electrochemical activity in the brain. This is why we can be changed from who we were to someone else through injury or change in the brain. Since matter and energy cannot be destroyed we should "live" on forever ..... just not the proper organization of matter and energy in the proper order to be the "us" we know. The carbon atoms making up all life as we know it on the planet are interchanged over the vast spans of time. Thus, any of us may have a part of a "reincarnated" dinosaur, a protohuman, or even a more recent homo sapiens. That small part will continue on long after we are gone as an entity either as matter or energy. As for God, that is anyone's guess. Any technology sufficiently advanced will seem godlike to a very low technology and a very low technology will tend to attribute supernatural aspects to things which cannot be explained at that level of knowledge. Neadnerthal would view a modern man as a god with a flashlight and a handgun. Light without sun or fire and death from a noise .... what other explanation could there be? |

Time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future ...... It is as a stream whose flow we can measure but never change except in relation to another. The whole realtivity aspect of time appearing to slow to an outside observer is a difficult concept for some. Of course, the concept of travel in a timelike fashion is always interesting, although really useless in reality. Since the universe is moving, any purely timelike travel would result in an apparant movement in space as the planet and solar system are in constant movement. Any travel in time alone would move one miles from their starting point and most likely in to the void of space with any but the shortest trips. We know it is not possible for us to travel in time as being the humans we are, there would have been some example inadvertently left for us to find as a result of the experimental process. Unless, of course the act creates a separate timeline which neve interects with our own. That only means such travel is impossible for us in this timeline, which may be even more confusing. |
