    Maybe in a trillion years or so, we will be able to immortalize the universe as well.

        Where would you get the energy from to get around the laws of thermodynamics? It'd have to be outside the system.
        If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

          Under the wide and starry sky
          Dig the grave and let me lie.
          Glad did I live and gladly die,
          And I laid me down with a will.

          This be the verse you grave for me;
          "Here he lies where he longed to be,
          Home is the sailor, home from sea,
          And the hunter home from the hill."

            I think Stephen Petranek said that true immortality is a statistical impossibility. One living for hundreds of years will very likely eventually die in an accident or be at-least manslaughtered. 300 years, he cited as a likely median lifespan.

              That's why you would need invulnerability with the immortality. Or specify the type. And make sure your superpowers don't have a weakness.

                Kinda like a Tolkien Elve...

                BTW, I don't want to be immortal in this life.

                  Klaus, I've been meaning to ask you... what exactly is a Christian Agnostic?

                    Yeah! What is it? A Christian that isn't 100% sure that God exists???

                      Simply uploading your consciousness would not give you immortality or even extended life. All it would give you would be a copy of your consciousness who would get to live on without you. I'll wait for the real thing.

                          It means I'm a mere Christian with no denominational links, AND I do have some doubt -- exacerbated by the risible "absolutely certain" attitudes of Fundamentalists.

                          I hope this helps, but I'm not certain it will.

                            In the end isn't none of this "immortality? If the universe does come to an end, isn't this just extension of "life" for a really LONG time? This reminds me of the gods that are "immortal" until they die kinda thing.

                              I did not understand the difference between AI, digital, and cyborg. Whatever lets me download into the vehicle of my choice and store many, many qubits of data.

                                Also, I did not see a "The Prestige" option.
