Thanks for the correction, pretty detailed.

Well, when we think about consciousness, we think of animals and bugs. Brain as big as a whale's brain or as small as an ant. But does the number of neurons matter for consciousness or is consciousness more of an on off switch determined by a single cell? The thing is, when the consciousness region of the brain, specific to that of the brain stem. If that region is bigger, people seem to have a higher level of cognition compare to animals or insects with a smaller brain. And then you would poke around that consciousness region of the brain trying to figure out if there is an on off switch, but then you realized that the entire region is consciousness itself. That it is one entity contained and shifting in this region(brain stem). Simply put, we got left and right brain, if you destroy the right brain, left brain would hold the consciousness, similarly if you destroy the left brain, right brain would hold the consciousness(strictly for brain stem, if you destroy left and right brain stem there would be no consciousness). Then the only thing to conclude is that consciousness is a stream similar to that of water or current. So how does one stream of consciousness differ from another stream of consciousness as it differs from person to person? Some guesses: 1. How fast the current flows. (if it emanates(that region of brain stem) 50 times per second vs 1 time per second) 2. The timing of the current. (if it starts at noon or if it starts at night, I don't think this is the case, only in theory) 3. The synaptic delays between the neurons. (If it delays 25ns to 50ns between the synapses to complete a round trip within the brain, or it stops, but rest assured it isn't moving at the speed of light) Alright, you got me, this is pretty much similar to point 1. But my emphasis is, if you change a single synapse to 100ns, does that make you a different person?

Ya, but cloning, I would say it is pretty close to the original consciousness, I'm not sure what the difference would be.

We agree that our DNA defines our body shape including the brain. Therefore, the core of the brain, brain stem(consciousness) and other core structures are defined in the DNA in letters. After we are born, we start to gain brain plasticity that forms the memory, therefore the memory is not defined in the DNA letters.

Thanks for the response. It would require a cellular proliferation of a specific cell type. It would have an immune response as well. I don't think the mechanism of cellular transdifferentiation applies here so I am just leaving this thread be.

I got a video of neuron sprouting. I've also seen a video before about inducing current in an electrical grid wiring and see the neurons grow, but I've long lost this video. I want an example of neuronal dendrites rewired, if not more videos about neuron sprouting and synapse formation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBIa8G3gBH0

How much population do you think earth can hold? Keep in mind that 70% of the landmass is sea and we don't really live in sea or submarines like some people do, but it is a viable option.

Teleportation vs time travel both requires the manipulation of space time. Teleportation is like going through space time where time travel is like falling through space time(going in between space time). Is this analogy correct? Or is there other scientific resources relating to this?

Yes, I do not thing there is anything important with the revolving idea now, clearly the cloaking idea is much better

Alright, the idea about centripetal force is that. The atom would probably tear itself apart at a high revolving speed. But things are possible to achieve a faster speed at a quantum realm. Here is an example. The circumference of my belly is around 40cm(yes I am fat), if I am trying to match the speed of light, I would be spinning at (3x10^8)/40cm, simple right. The circumference of an atom is around 1nm(let's just assume 1nm), if it is trying to match the speed of light, it would be spinning at (3x10^8)/(1x10^-9), assuming the atom does not break. If you use the scale of an atom to run a computer, how fast do you think it would work? Or a nanofactory? It would match the speed of an enzyme reaction, or enzyme like helicase at 1000 nucleotides per second. What do you think about doing one thousand things per second in the human realm(not quantum)? Whether the quantum realm has a faster frame is something I can't prove.

Yes, I know the physicists have a different term for 1/2 spin or 2/3 spin(without fully understanding). From what I can recall the water molecule is spinning pretty fast with a high tesla magnetic field. And from a quantum angle of things, since I've read into nanomachines a bit. They react pretty much as though they are in a vacuum, I mean air is a molecule. We can't really define electron as an entity except a cloud or a wave function. But we can define a packet of photon or a neutron or a proton. Yes, I've never heard of a spinning neutron or proton, but I've heard of a precessing water molecule. Any smaller than that I wouldn't know if it revolve(not to be confused with spin) or not. It doesn't require energy to revolve(only for acceleration), just like it does not require energy to have a velocity in space. More of a constant velocity type of thing, but right, thanks for taking the time to read my post. As for the snail, it's not like the electron get stuck to have an infinite energy. It's like beads giving off energy or some sort. No offense, I just find the snail electron speed a bit ridiculous going at how fast air moves. And if this is a joke by itself, that the speed of electron does answer my question as a point of relativity, then I might have to review my high school physics lol

Well, based on the precessing model for MRI in which water molecules spin at random. If theoretically a magnetic or electric field could be induced to make the water molecule spin slower or faster, what do you think it could do with smaller molecules like electrons? Btw the water molecule is spinning at 50000 times per second based on somewhere I read. Being a SuperNerd you must understand what I am saying Strange If the same energy is applied to an electron, I wouldn't know what would happen. It could easily make it spin 1 million times per second https://science.howstuffworks.com/mri3.htm

I think it was a random video on orbiting electrons that it sometimes disappear from moving too fast. But for something this small you really have to consider how fast it moves or spins.

We agree that the smaller the particles the faster it moves? We got photon traveling at the speed of light. And electrons that orbit the atom sometimes even above light speed, speculation. And we further theorized the constitution of electrons, photons, and neutrons making out of quarks. What do you think is the moving speed of these quarks? If quarks do move on the border line of light speed, what does it say about the smallest fundamental particles? Is it a form of energy?

Agreed

Is it possible based on physical standards?

Not if I make myself invisible :D.

Like a chain maybe, radio wave can pass through a box.

Can you fall through a box? Yes, box are composed of atoms, if you are smaller than an atom you can fall through a box. Space time should technically be composed of some type of structure, like a dough. It is logical to think you can fall through a dough, or space time.

You'll have to make a distinction between brain which contains memory and brain which doesn't. Does it swell up like bread when the brain contains memory, or some other structure.

That which isn't possible unless you are smaller than space time. What would happen?

If you can start off with a programmed memory, you can start off with a programmed consciousness. Either that or you flip is manually afterward with an optogenetic tweezer. The problem again, it to start off with no consciousness by blocking the neuronal pathway or flipping it away.

Alright, even if it isn't stored, there might be a way to program it into the embryo. The formation of the neuronal structure in the embryo is not random, it is a combination of epigenetics from the father's and mother's side. Though it is true that we are born without any memory, beats me =/.

If I am a salamander missing a "right arm", I would grow a "right arm" back instead of a "right foot" where my "right arm" should reside. Where do you think the blue print for this "right arm" is stored? How does the salmander's body remember the structure of this "right arm"? Same goes for the memory and consciousness, if I am a salamander and I am missing a "right brain", it should regenerate the neuronal structure that matches the memory and consciousness of the "right brain", but not a blank slate. Just an assumption. Q1: So if a salamander's arm is injured I would regenerate an injured arm? A1: Not quite, the neuronal structure and positioning of the neurons resides in the epigenetics of the DNA, and therefore could be remembered during regeneration. An injury does not alter the epigenetic state(I think?). Q2: So where is the DNA blueprint for this salamander's "right arm", would it remember the epigenetic state of the neuronal structure of the brain? A2: Ionno, same thing how am embryo grows into a human body, there is a blueprint for the human body in the embryo, no idea on the epigenetic state, just an assumption. Q3: Can I insert this epigenetic state into a newly develops embryo so it forms the consciousness and memory of the other human? A3: That my friend, is the question. During the dog cloning research the newly cloned dog seems to have the memory of the old dog. At one instance the dog seems to remember how to open a fridge in which it is not trained to open a fridge. Again, could be a science fiction. I will have to find the video after I get enough sleep. Q4: Why would a cloned dog contains the memory of the previous dog? A4: The dog is cloned using the previous dog's DNA with the Dolly Sheep cloning procedure. So it does not exactly start out from scratch, maybe the epigenetic state of the neuronal structures of the brain of the previous dog is transferred to the clone in this way.
