"Nothing is impossible."

Just before I get pounded on by folks who think I'm being disrespectful or irreligious, I should explain that I meant that in the sense of nothing is impossible to the imagination.

Time travel still would have its quirky little obstinacy. The truly deceased would still be truly gone.

Surviving death requires careful and fastidious preparation, no matter how one thinks about it.

Actually, I could think of a few possible ways in which the "information" of a persons life could be re-created. Not sure how it would work to try and completely re-create the person themselves, but... who knows.

If "death by misadventure" was the only way left for a person to die, I think it would be a very fine thing... Especially if we we not limited to the Third Rock from Sol...

Funny you bring up time travel. I was at the park with my soon to be 8 year old yesterday...I was trying to explain to her that science can't prove everything, sometimes all we will ever have is theory, and I used the fact that we will never know what exactly happened to the dinosaurs for sure (she wants to be a paleontologist) , we will only have a theory. She looked at me without pause and said we'll know for sure when scientists build a time machine and go back to find out.
