  1. So if we have a brain machine interface, could it be used in reverse to put our consciousness back into a new life form? Sort of like the transfer that took place in Avatar or Altered Carbon? If so we have the solution to interstellar space travel. You wouldn't need to travel at the speed of light, or try to survive travelling through a wormhole, cryogenic sleep, or the warping of space and/or time if you were able to occupy your electronic self with running equations and contemplating ideas we can't imagine we'll have when we can live for thousands of years, effectively becoming immortal until/unless we transcend into some hybrid being or form of higher energy yet to be discovered. And when we arrive at a new planet we can find a suitable host species and transfer a copy of our consciousness into a host body grown from sampled DNA of that new species so as to experience a now relatively short time of existence living a life in their world through their senses, transmitting that knowledge back at some point, and further adding to and expanding one's perspective as we travel from world to world, people to people, for millions of years. It's a heady possibility to even try and consider, but I can see it! It could also help get the planet's population back down to more reasonable levels if we had an off-world exodus of people wanting to go see the Universe. Though, having a brain/machine interface and becoming cyborg's will probably solve a lot of any population problems we might be facing. I just hope this can be pulled off before something unpleasantly wacky happens.

  2. @Pkmmm Mmmkkk That's a choice too, but I'd rather die of reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllly old age after travelling the stars for a few million years and living a few hundred lives. Or are you just a troll? You kind of sound like a troll and we shouldn't feed the trolls. I probably shouldn't respond, but what the heck.

  3.  @chrisrichfield8906  I like the idea of streaming our thoughts or consciousness to another planet.. It would definitely work in-system and would be a great way to do telepresence mining on a big space rock or having a change of scenery on another planet. Robots would be fine, but I could see wanting to experience a life, even if just for a while, with the unique gifts and flaws that help make the organic existence different from what I suspect would be a more fluid existence as a disembodied machine intelligence or the rigid perfection of an android body.
