Re: The double slit experiment.
[QUOTE=JBR;988162]But how is the sim card transferred from a dead body to a newborn one?
If that is possible, perhaps thought transference is also possible. Perhaps a more efficient means of learning or transferring information is also possible.[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't that be great JBR, Imagine that when someone dies they can store the all the skills and knowledge of that person and place them in the head of the newborn.
I believe that the progression of the human race is largely down to the passing on of information. Very slow progress was made in the early days with drawings on cave walls and then parchment. Things really started hotting up when paper was introduced and from paper came books and more progress was made in the few hundred years since books became available than since the beginning of time.
There could have been several Einsteins and Newtons but without the ability to record and pass on their research and discoveries to the next generation they would have had to start all over again.
So now with capability of storing huge amounts of data progress has gone off the scale and no one person can absorb all the information available and must specialise in a particular field. We are reaching the time when even the human brain will be full, it's happening already with some of our young students who opt out of society in favour of drugs and alcohol.
So no....After thinking about it, it would not be a good idea to transfer information to our newborn or there is the risk of turning them into tools, produced with specific tasks in mind. It has been mooted before!
