And whether it's just these electrical impulses that are firing all the time, and when that electricity as plug is pulled, we're gone,. or something else, could you take it and put it someplace else if you were to find it and locate it? That sounds like something for the next segment, Chuck. What you're talking about, uploading your consciousness, that the people, kind of what you just said there. Big question, right?
Can we bring people back from the dead? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice discuss restoring dead cells, the nature of consciousness, Frankenstein's monster, zombies, and more with neuroscientist, David Andrijevic and consciousness expert, George Mashour.
