Could Synthetic Bodies Make Humans Immortal?

If a human brain were to be hooked up to a synthetic body, how many years could that person last? Even if they kept up with upgrades and replacement parts for their new physique, is there a limit to how long the human brain can function normally? Even if all brain diseases are cured, would the mind eventually break down?

I've read that we get old because of limitations in our cellular makeup. Basically, the DNA or something can only divide so many times before it doesn't have the ability to copy itself any longer. That happens for many different types of cells, and eventually the groups of cells that have stopped replenishing themselves have bigger and bigger problems. This contributes to aging.

Cancer cells can divide indefinitely. Can cells of the brain divide at all?

Antichrist: Here Already? Or Waiting To Take Shape?

What if one of our Presidential candidates is currently already the AntiChrist? What if all the speculation about who's going to win is pointless, because the AC will win no matter what?

Or, what if the speculation is not pointless at all, because the AC isn't here yet, and is waiting to see how it all turns out? What if the AC will possess the body of whoever wins the election?

Or, what if the AC is really Artificial Intelligence set to evolve into existence before 2012?

Or, what if the AC is the collective will of humanity's dark side, which will manifest in material form, or perhaps remotely color the decisions of our next President?

Or, what if the AC is totally separate from the Prez, and is someone else?

Are Metaphysical Mysteries Pointless?

What if 90% of all metaphysical speculation is pointless? What if none of that 90% is real, and is just eating up time and resources? What if all the stories of gods and alien visitors are just that -- stories? What if there are no Higher Selves guiding us along a clear-cut path? What if there are no interdimensional travelers in complex spaceships? What if everything that isn't clear, or capable of becoming clear, is meaningless?

What if instead, this stuff is real, but all of our speculation still serves no purpose? What if in order for something to matter, to be of use, it must be fully quantified? Sure, speculation leads to testing which leads to fact, but what if instilling faith is really a way to enforce ignorance?

Book of Revelations: Guidelines?

In a doomsday prediction, bad stuff happens all over the place. Drought, famine, disease, war, upheaval - it all goes bad at once. Usually that happens, but spread out over time. But when it all happens at once, things get complicated, and extremely difficult.

So what if the Book of Revelations isn't saying, "This will happen." What if instead, it's saying, "IF this happens, THEN this will happen?" So IF we let our problems get out of hand, THEN there will be a confluence of events that will lead to our downfall?

Is Science Taking Us Closer To Our Potential?

Or is it moving us farther away? What if humankind reached certain pinnacles in the past that didn't rely on technology, and instead utilized biology? What if there are hidden biological tricks that we humans can use to reach new levels of talent and capability? Is technology negating those gifts?

Might we augment our physical bodies with technology, only to lose the potential to "ascend" in some spiritual or evolutionary way?

Avoid Earth Disaster By Colonizing Space

I've recently heard that in order to prevent the extinction of humanity, it would be a good idea to get several colonies up and running off-world. So if we colonize Mars, and then there's a nuclear war on earth, or a huge asteroid kills everything, humanity would still stand a chance on Mars.

But all things are relative.

If one mega-disaster can take out Earth, an even bigger disaster could wipe out the solar system. Or the galaxy. Maybe even the universe. So not only must we have outposts on other planets, we need them in other solar systems, galaxies, universes, and maybe even times.

Are Interdimensional Mistakes Made In The Afterlife?

Can you travel from this dimension to a parallel earth, die, and enter the afterlife you would have if you had died while remaining in your original dimension?

Someone dies in Dimension A. Do they go to Heaven A?

Someone is born in Dimension A, travels to Dimension X. Dies. Do they go to Heaven X? Or return to Heaven A? Or is there a Super Heaven?

Is there a single Heaven that joins the spirits of the Multiverse?

Are you spiritually connected with your Evil Twin in Dimension X? If you travel there, and die, and your Evil Twin dies, do you both "join" and travel to Super Heaven as one?

Or could a mistake be made, and Heaven X mistakes you for your double?

Will We Continue To Move Into The Future?

Many people think that old Millennium idea of the world ending still has potential to come to fruition on December 21, 2012. Global Warming, Nuclear War, Aliens, Sunspots -- there are so many options for how a major cataclysm or shift might occur. But what if "nothing" happens? We just keep zooming along as before...

Computers will get faster and faster, and slowly integrate with all facets of life.

Artificial Intelligence will likely be developed.

Clean energy will be mastered.

Interplanetary colonization will begin.

Nanotechnology will allow people to reproduce any item at will, including food, thereby eliminating poverty and hunger.

That same technology will cure all diseases, and perhaps extend the human lifespan by hundreds of years.

World peace will be achieved?

Are Interdimensional Travelers Among Us?

Have people on another version of earth found a way to travel between dimensions? Have they visited other universes? Have they come to ours?

Could they go to a universe that is "in the future," and bring future tech back to their universe? Could we do the same?

Are UFO's really interdimensional humans here to bring us up to their level? Or to squash and enslave us?

Could "the greys" really be members of an alternately evolved form of the human race from another dimension?

Are Alien Abductions Real?

Do they happen in a space ship? Or are government agents responsible? Do we have the technology to teleport unsuspecting civilians out of their beds, their houses, and into secret military (or other) installations? What purpose do the medical probing serve? Are the abductors interdimensional travelers? Humans from the future? Angels? Demons? The unbound collective will of humanity’s dark side?
