  I have to disagree with you here. I would consider your statement above as a profound implication, all its own. If the premise were shown to be correct, consider the implications for religion [which I don't follow anyway]. God and Heaven/Hell have been *proven* not to exist. The "Afterlife" has been *proven* not to exist. The physical substance of my brain has been *proven* to exist. And it would lend evidence to the conclusion that this universe is not a simulation, and the universe we live in is basically as it appears - no tricks, just complexities. (I need some more time to think about this last one). I would guess that the majority of list members here have already concluded that the above statements are correct... but, we would finally have proof.
   
  But, I still need to show somehow that the premise is correct.
   
  Best Wishes,

I don't think it would carry profound implications at all, all it would mean
is the word "death" had been watered down so much as to be mean precisely
nothing.
