Re: Tomorrows WorldFifty years til we can recreate a human brain from atoms presumably with all the old brain’s memories, knowledge, experiences, skills etc inside it?
I’m sceptical.
Re: Tomorrows World
Yeah, I'm sceptical too, to be honest. But the bloke explaining it to me seemed pretty convinced and I have to concede that he almost certainly has a better grasp of the probabilities than I do. Your memories and stuff are stored as electrical connections between neurons, I know that much, so I'm guessing that it's theoretically possible to reconstruct the neurons in such a way that the charges between them remain the same as in your 'real' brain. As regards timescales, according to many learned commentators the rate of technological advancement continually increases exponentially. It took millions of years to evolve the wheel, from there it took thousands of years to evolve the silicon chip, then tens of years to evolve the internet. This is seen as another point on the same curve. Again, to be honest, I don't fully understand the theorem myself but I do find it fairly fascinating.

As drones are so cheap to manufacture and deploy compared to complex anti-missile defences).
