After you die and your brain has decayed, wouldn't eventually your brain reform due to quantum fluctuations and tunneling? Does this mean immortality?

>> No.7937724

No thats all bullshit. Dead is dead you hippie motherfucker.

>> No.7937729

is it theoretically possible? maybe
would is ever happen? no

>> No.7937733

Consider your body a wave packet and your thoughts constituent waves. If the packet is destroyed the constituent waves dissipate into nothingness. While there isn't a wavefunction for consciousness, probably, it's highly unlikely these waves will reform into another being.

if immortality isn't impossible, i don't think your theory is the good one. Maybe it's possible, but why should this happen ? And immortality means the consciousness keeps part of its former information. Tunneling implies it doesn't

Given that you don't feel time when you don't exist, wouldn't this feel like waking up directly after dying?

Even if 200 billion years has passed?

The sun could, theoretically, quantum tunnel out of the solar system.

It could, but the probability is so small that given an infinite amount of time, you'd never see it happen. So we can say, for all intents and purposes, that it won't do that in reality.

Your brain could, theoretically, quantum fuck its way back together, but again, the chance of it happening is literally next to nothing.

In fact, it's close enough to nothing that we can say it won't happen.

That's not even getting to the can of worms that is how the brain functions and what would result from putting it back together.

I think the point trying to be made is that given an infinite amount of time, we'll all come back to life ? I think?

Continuity is broken, would be a clone.
