There is another possiblity of eternal life, but this one depends on the universe being "closed", not "open" as in the first Consolation. In other words, the universe must be an oscallating one; one that is caught in an infinite cycle of Big Bangs and Big Crunches. If the physics of each universe is the same as our own then after a long enough wait intellegent life will evolve on a earth-like planet. After a tremendous amount of time an intelligent being will eventually have an exact replica of your brain. Will you be reincarnated as this being? Why or why not? Also, if this universe is not closed, do you think an sufficiently advanced civilization who has discovered this possiblity might try to somehow create enough matter to reverse the expansion of the universe so that this possiblity becomes true? Or maybe the reverse; maybe after a finite number of rebirths a sufficiently advanced civilization will try to turn a closed universe into a open one so that the reincarnations stop?

Well of course avskull if each and every universe were exact replicas down to the position of every atom for every plank time (10^-43 seconds) then we'd have no memory of previous reincarnations. But who says each&every universe is the same?

Shouldn't a serious question like this be posted under a different category? I was looking for some fun questions, and I, frankly, barely skimmed it over. Sorry!

No, I will not be reincarnated as the being with an exact replica of my brain. The key word there is replica. My personal identity can't be replicated, even if my physical brain is. Are we talking here about eternal life, or eternal life of personal identity ? My life force can continue with or without my personal identity. Can't comment on the physics of the universe, or on closed versus open universe. Don't know about that.

If the oscillations were perfect then you wouldn’t remember being reincarnated. So there would be no proof. the oscillations would need to be near perfect to replicate a human because of such a small scale people are to an universe
This large assumption of the oscillations being tied to the universe only opens a large hole into what a finite number would be.

statistical flucuations. the prospect of correct situations for suitable replication will be large. i will ought to disgree. countless time considered, there are nonetheless some variables which will be puzzling to duplicate through length and randomness. i became informed on the quantum aspect issues act in very easy techniques.
