Is it against any laws of quantum physics to bring the dead back to life?

Question

I'M NOT SAYING FROM A BIOLOGICAL DEFINITION POINT OF VIEW. IS IT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE, BUT WE JUST HAVE NOT THE TECHNOLOGY?

Answer 1

At the quantum level, there is no difference between dead or alive matter. So no, there is NO laws of quantum physics that prevents you to bring the dead back to life.

When people talk about the uncertainty principle and how you can't reproduce a piece of matter exactly, which is true, but I don't believe that is relevant for differentiating the state of alive or dead.

What does matter is the physics at a molecular and cellular level. And I think it is only a matter of technology (specifically nanotechnology) that will eventually determine if we can return someone who is dead (declared clinically within a certain period of time) back to life. For those that have died for an extended period of time, cellular decay and molecular disentegration will make it very unlikely to bring someone back, at least not with the same memories, experiences, and personality, etc. But you will most likely always be able to return the body back to life.

Answer 2

I really don't think any of you have answered ballsont…'s question here so have a think about this and then consider the wood for trees thing!!!

First we have to define dead.

dead to you and i would be perhaps the heart stopping or perhaps Brain dead where there is no detectable signs of activity. So what exactly is dead. Well truly dead, is when the biological state of the body is beyond recovery due to cellular decay. Now if you consider attempting to recover a decomposing body, i would say that is pretty unlikely, that by any advances in technology. the only realistic way to bring the dead back to life, would be to prevent this decay and thus keep the body in a state where it can be held as not dead but lifeless. Then when medical technology has improved, the body could be repaired and thus the life could be restored. And where in Gods name did quantum addressing come into that. Consider the definition of dead, then the trees are more visible lol. Edx

Answer 3

It has nothing to do with quantum physics. Everything involved is on a scale far larger than the quantum level.

God can bring the dead back to life. There are a few instances recorded in the Bible.

For the cases you are more likely asking about, it comes down to the clinical definition of death. But even our definitions don't really matter. People have been medically revived after meeting many criteria for death. They stop breathing. But then came artificial respiration. The heart stops. But then came CPR and the paddles. They have recovered after many months in a coma. A definition in use now is cessation of brain activity. Perhaps some day man may find a way to help revive people with even this condition.

One undeniable fact remains. With the exception of Enoch and Elijah, the death rate is one per person. That is unlikely to change.

Answer 4

Here's one way to do it. Take a cell from the dead guy. Try to get a fresh one or one that has been deeply frozen.
Take the DNA out of that cell and make a clone.
Let the clone grow up and try your best to duplicate how the dead guy/gal grew up.
That's one way to do it.

If you want to resurrect the same person, you are out of luck. Because lots of the chemical reactions have historicity ( a nice word that means they had a particular past), you cannot duplicate this past. So, what you would have to do is somehow record the living person and all his/her chemical reactions at some known time and duplicate that state. This is prohibited in quantum physics. It is called the 'uncertainty principle'.

If you would like a simple metaphor, think about what it would take to duplicate, exactly, a glass of water at any particular time with no errors or changes in the measurement of where everything is by whatever method you use to 'look'.

Answer 5

By sheer logic, you cannot bring a dead back because you have no access to the part could the "soul". The soul is what's whithin us. You can't access that if it's already in a higher or lower state. You can physically bring vack a dead by ,say cloning, but it doesn't bring the person back, only the body. Don't try to make something that you'll regret one day. Just live accorfing to th will of GOD.

Answer 6

Technially, people bring back clinically dead person to life in hospital quite often. But longer you're "dead" more brain damage you might suffer(from lack of oxygen). We don't know how to repair permanent damge to brain. Quantum mechanic have nothing to do with this really.

Answer 7

Quantum physics, no. Statistical mechanics, yes.

Answer 8

could you have helped me with my problem instead of being a wanker? thanks...btw on a different note if you are into some quantum physics you should check out some of brian greenes material, he has some interesting concepts out there.
