Russian researchers have outlined several ways technological resurrection may be possible in the future, including a method called digital immortality: restoration based on recordings.
In this method, a superintelligent AI uses the cosmic Dyson Sphere megastructure to harness computing energy from the sun.
Humans can’t build a Dyson Sphere yet but the researchers say nanorobots could one day do the job.
Imagine this: In the far, far future, long after you’ve died, you’ll eventually come back to life. So will everyone else who ever had a hand in the history of human civilization. But in this scenario, returning from the dead is the relatively normal part. The journey home will be a hell of a lot weirder than the destination.
The wild concept uses neural net theory to unify quantum and classical mechanics.
This is a great jumping-off point for larger philosophical discussions.
In a thought-provoking new paper, a physicist suggests the whole universe could be a single neural network a competing “theory of everything” that could unite quantum and classical mechanics, he says.
If this is true and that’s a

What’s a Neural Network?
A neural network is what’s called a data structure, which is a shape or format for organizing ideas inside computer hardware. If you’ve ever made a shopping list or written down the steps to complete a task, you’ve made a data structure. If you’ve “opened a ticket” in an IT support system at your job, that ticket probably joined a data structure called a queue. You may have even programmed these structures, too, writing code for stacks, trees, and more.
