Hello readers, I have been thinking and if you bear with me hopefully I don’t sound too mad!.
I have read an interesting article and in it a leading scientist has claimed that A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years. Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain.
Lets go further, if this is true then what if these artificial human brains were put into virtual bodies’ living on a virtual planet in yes you have guessed it, a virtual Galaxy and universe. Now these people would think just like us and could live out their lives just like we do in their own virtual environment and world.
A virtual human could live a whole lifetime but this could take place in just a few milliseconds for us, these people would have families, loved ones, inventers, great thinkers etc. they would evolve very quickly and in time would surpass our own evolution of technology and biology.
Would it not be exciting to copy their technology and use it for our own purposes?
They may invent better super computers, time travel, or faster than light space travel or master immortality! Even simulate virtual people of their own! And so on and so forth.. I really do believe that this deserves serious thought.
Maybe we ARE virtual people ourselves running this experiment for others!
Is this possible?, What do you think?
