The British scientist J.B.S Haldane early in the 20th century came up with a very strange possibility for eternal life; he imagined a far future in which everything in the universe was nothing more than a very thin, cold gas. If you wait long enough, and if the physical conditions of the universe are right, then statistical flucuations in the gas will be suffient to reproduce everything we see around us. After an IMMENSELY long time an identical copy of you and everyone you know and love will be reborn. This will happen not once but an infinite number of times; sometimes you will have full recollection of the previous reincarnations, other times you wont. Do you think the Consolation of Haldane is possible? Also, do you think we have been reincarnated an infinite number of times but for this particular reincarnation we simply have no memory of the previous ones?
