>…Tipler (the physics guy) wrote an interesting attempt to reconcile how the Xian resurrection would be possible once a certain computing horsepower was reached before the simulation hypothesis was really out there in the popular culture.   I haven't read it in years but it's worth checking out if you haven't: https://www.amazon.com/Physics-Immortality-Modern-Cosmology-Resurrection/dp/0385467990/

 

 

 

 

 

Ja, Will note that one of Tipler’s big themes was coming up with scenarios for resurrection and afterlife which fits our current understanding of physics.  Well sure OK.  Look at ourselves: plenty of us are cryonics fans or followers of some degree.  What the heck it the whole notion of cryonics, other than a perfectly physics-compatible expression of a mechanism whereby we could live again?
