<div dir="auto">Resurrecting the preserved may be possible eventually, but how do you even begin to resurrect those who are lost to entropy: buried and decayed to bones, cremated, et al? There's not enough information remaining, not even for historical simulations (for the small minority we even have names for, and anthropologists who have studied this issue can cite many cases of modern scholars - equipped with the best understanding available at the time - thinking they knew how ancient people lived only to find out they were completely wrong about major aspects).<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">If there is no way to do a thing, it matters not if it ought to be done. Pleas to the contrary are like all those military strategists who say we ought to implement maneuver warfare in space so things for them can be just like on Earth, utterly ignoring fuel and delta-v limits (and the cost and logistical burden of constantly refueling satellites) that prevent it, as well as dismissing what few solutions (such as solar or plasma sails) might get around that problem.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 5, 2025, 3:55 AM Giulio Prisco via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Nikolai Fedorov and technological resurrection, revisited.
