Consolation of Haldane 2?

Question

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?

Answer 1

As long as you confine your thinking to the rules of matter nothing important will be known to you. The answer lies in transcending all aspects of the material world. The truly important things are love, joy, creative inspiration, life energy, and kindness which can not be seen or measured but these things light the inner light of knowledge within you. The universe was the size of the head of a pin and then in a trillionth of second became a universe that is billions of light years across. In the next second after you read this it may be a pin head size universe again and you know what your essential spirit nature will be unchanged by this.

Answer 2

No, i can't be reincarnated because of the fact the being with an exact reproduction of my suggestions. the foremost word there is reproduction. My own id can't be replicated, notwithstanding if my actual suggestions is. Are we conversing right here approximately eternal existence, or eternal existence of private id ? My existence rigidity can proceed with or without my own id. can't remark on the physics of the universe, or on closed as against open universe. do no longer understand approximately that.
