We'll get to a point where the progress is so fast that we'll keep up with time going by. So at that point, everyone born from now on will basically live forever. As we go further out, we'll actually be able to register what our brains are doing because we're going to actually merge with technology. And anything that's digital is backed up. Ultimately, we'll be able to recreate ourselves.
Would you want to live forever? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and author, inventor, and futurist Ray Kurzweil discuss immortality, longevity escape velocity, the singularity, and the future of technology. What will life be like in 10 years?
