<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally I think the process outlined in the
Omega Point theory was achieved very quickly, four billion years ago. We are
deliberately excluded from its direct affects, but many 'dead' people have opted
for continued life (via split selves which have been repaired and upgraded in
most instances) on more advanced worlds. The fact that we are 'rescued' (if we
opt to be so) by the Omega Point (or Matrix) when we 'die' explains the Fermi
Paradox and our soon-to-end quarantine from our soon-to-be amortal buddies
hovering around nearby, with every gimmick from instant teleportation to quantum
reconfiguration devices to multiversal gateways. Splitting quantum hairs
is easy for a post-Singularity club...</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
