Commenting On Bostrom

Stephen Dedalus,

I already read those articles.

If we can't conceive of something it can't exist.

Also, a brain cannot process so many data simultaneously because it would have to be much larger and too large to fit the body. A much larger body would have the same cerebral capacity because of brain-body ratio.

ufology,

An infinitely powerful computer may not be possible and it would be hard to imagine that there would be a limit toinforamtion content of an infinite universe, I don't see how the 2 ideas would be compatible. Also, it could be that consciousness can't arise from a simulation.

Btw, I have Tipler's College Physics that I bought years ago. His theory is invalid because it is based on false assumptions. The universe is infinite.
