Topics like this I find so unbelievably fascinating, and it does make me hope some kind of reincarnation cycle does exist because life is so complicated, and there’s so many unanswered questions that it seems like an average life time just isn’t enough. Being almost 22 years old, and being statistically a 1/4 of the way through at best assuming I pass from age, really does make you realize how short our lives are. But, in the event “nothing” happens, that all the motivation needed to pack in as much learning and experiences as possible. Have a good day everyone.

Well in answering the teleportation problem. First of all even if your broken down to a molecular level, if your blue prints are send to two different places, that means a copy must have been made to send to those "two differently located information receivers" so while your information/consciousness may have been copied, you are still you. You have just been copied and once you put back together/re-appear in two different locations, you will still be you and that other copy of you will be exactly like you, but having appeared in a different location will interact with different people. Thus leading to some slight perspective/thought differences between you and your other copy caused by experiencing different things. So from the very moment that is made/appears and opens its eyes and sees a different place that you, it will no longer be an exact replica of you consciousness. Getting technical as soon as your blue prints are copied the second the atoms that are copied, they are no longer 100%exactly like you. As the atoms travel through different space, they become different due to differ elements in the air/different atoms in the two different teleportation places.

Without the proper understanding of how our universe works, it's almost impossible to understand life and consciousness. The tricky part about this - each individual has to figure it out on his/her own. There is one perspective of evolution that may help: With each level of existence lifeforms get more choices up to the first level of free will - the level we are at. But free will has a down side - you have to figure out that certain actions have much more impact than you may realize first. For those who are ready: The next step of (natural) evolution is one of choice but there is a barrier which no one can pass but everyone who knocks at the door, the door will be opened. Everyone is welcome. Find me if you woke up. ^^

[@DJSkandalous]

Here is a interesting question. If time isn't linear, then wouldn't time only be in the mind of the holder? Meaning, we as individuals would not understand time before we were born. Just like under anesthesia, time goes forward in a blink of an eye. So wouldn't anyone born in the past, present and future perceive time in the then and now? It's not like we can comprehend the waiting line to be born. So wouldn't all humans just automatically perceive time instantly within their time period at the same time you are perceiving yours? A person living 2000 years ago would perceive time just as fast as we would since we cannot gage time before we are born. Lol. Makes you wonder if the present truly is right now.

[@Synthxrt]

Yes, time is a man made construct. Although it is hard to think about because similar to the idea of the center of the universe being wherever the perspective is, your existence could very well be the whole universe. How do you know what is reality and what is not? If reality is what you taste touch smell etc. then it wouldn’t take much to completely trick the brain. But back on the time subject, it’s more like the way we perceive time is man made. Time and space are the prison bars of our existence, the only way humans are able to perceive reality is the way you currently are. But yes everyone experiences “time” the same way. I think the present is all you have, past and future are irrelevant. Now if we were 4 dimensional beings everything would be much different, quantum physics complicates things further

[@W0lfbaneShikaisc00l]

Not really, because if time was happening all at once then there would be no concept of "time" time wouldn't exist, it would just be an illusion. The reality is, it is happening now and in the present hence why it even exists, because without time there would be no forward, backward or present. I tend to steer clear of redefining what a concept is because that would be nonsense and merely speculation at best.

Here is another point of view that most Christians will not agree with - but I am open to the possibility.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

I wondered what the light was and then I was there close to the light. It was a small porch light at a church and two people were walking up. A small person and a large person. Mind you I didn't know what a person was at the time, what a church was where I was. All I knew was curiosity, no fear just curious. I floated toward the people and around them hoping to learn something, anything really, about them. I floated in between them and looked into the eyes of the larger one but that felt wrong and a inner voice so to speak told me not to look there. I looked away and floated back between them looking into the small ones eyes and close, closer. I was the young boy then. My grandfather was telling me how to act at church, very young 3 maybe 4 years old. I went to church for several years but no one knew anything about floating down or what I was before. Eventually I realized there was no answers to find there I quit going. It's just been normal life since spare some dreams that came true. I've been looking since for anyone with such an experience.

[@gilbertestrada4182]

Dale, Possibly one of your most thought provoking videos. Some of these perspectives became a bit esoteric for yours truly, but it reminded me of something from many years ago. At nearly 54 years old, I have an almost continuous memory going back to the fall of 1963 (I found a penny in the dirt and brought it to my father and it goes from there; I remember when we brought my new baby brother from the hospital in September 1964 [weather was chilly and we all wore coats]; I kissed my first girl [Linda] in 1966, who also told me there was no Santa Claus that same year, etc.). Once, when I was around the age of 17, I tried to think as far back as I could to find my furthest memory and I went past the above memory to an earlier year, when my mother changed my diaper. As I tried my best I came to a point that you would refer to as "blackness". My brain didn't seem to stop, however, and another memory came to me of being in a dark hospital in what seemed to be India. I was in a bed with elaborate railings on the side and in a hospital lit with kerosene lamps on tables away from me. I could see other small beds with railings for children and nuns were moving from child to child and then I died. After this point I "came to" from these thoughts but after these many years, these images are as vivid as if they happened yesterday. Were these memories of another life? The subconscious trying to make sense of something? The wild imagination of a 17 year-old kid? I'm an atheist and don't believe in reincarnation, but I wonder what this "memory" beyond the blackness was all about. Your viewers have their own thoughts, own perspectives on all of it. You present a fascinating visual seminar, yet I still wonder what it is we experience before and during life. Where does it start, where does it end?

[@thinkfact]

Gilbert Estrada Wow, that was a really fascinating read. I feel it's good to take the time to remember things while you're young because it helps solidify them into your brain as you get older, this is something I have done and clearly you have done. It's pretty amazing that you're able to remember that far back! The only attempt I've seen to explain this is in psychological studies investigating this type of really far back memory but lot of it seems to be the brain attempting to find a memory and to fabricate it with the dream or another experience. Being much more evident if the memory is an out of body type of memory where you can see from a different perspective than what you would've been able to. There is a similar phenomenon that happens when people die and are resuscitated. Of course I don't know your specific case and that's partly because it's yours and only you will ever experience it, but definitely something that's interesting. I recall a darkness, at least I think I do. What's interesting about supposedly experiencing or remembering a past life would mean that your brain would have physical pathways made for it. Every single memory you have has made a physical impact on your brain. For you to remember something supposedly from a previous life would require your physical current brain to have experience them so that your brain could have developed the pathways for you to actually remembered it. This is why it gets pretty tricky when we try to validate such experiences because that's not really how memories work. But if our consciousness isn't just limited to our brain, there's no saying what might be possible terms of more lives. But the science so far makes it very difficult to validate the experience of previous lives. But that's just working with what we now Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and for sharing your story, take care Gilbert!

[@gilbertestrada4182]

Think Fact Dale, Keep up the great videos! The whole topic of this particular video was interested and well presented. You are correct, I'll never be able to validate large parts of early memory, but it wasn't that long ago that I looked through Google maps and looked for street scenes from the period 1966/67 and not only found where we lived (I would have been around five) but also found other remembered landmarks, such as an A&P grocery, now out of business with half the building gone, but recognizable to me from grant opening in 1966, or a restaurant, now closed, that I visited when I was five years old and went with friends, buying the first thing in my life (a Mister Goodbar for fifteen cents). As for a previous life memory, as I said before, I don't believe in past lives but wonder if there is something electrical in the brain that allows other people's thoughts to remain long after they are gone like a form of "radio" transmission that another person's brain picks up? It is all rather esoteric to me and I'm explaining myself rather bad. However, it is all fascinating and your broadcast was thought provoking enough to generate my initial comments, so there you are.

Nice video Dale, that whole segment on the claustrum was really interesting and frankly kind of mind blowing. It really got me thinking about my own theory, which I think I've seen a few others with similar ideas so I'm probably not the first. Basically, it's kind of a different take on applying quantum mechanics to consciousness; if you think of the quantum states as bits of information, like a quantum bit, that's fundamental to our universe, like matter and energy are, you can think of our consciousness as a body of information and processes, like a quantum computer, that's directly wired into our neurological system. Think of it like a symbiotic relationship like what we have with mitochondria but with a quantum computer independent of space. Instead, it's dependent of time, perceiving one point in time and moving along probabilities, like how quantum superpositions are multiple states at once until measured, by controlling our bodies, and after watching your video, the claustrum seems like a perfect candidate for a centralized controller. While I came up with this theory and am kind of fond of it, it's a work in progress and still just a theory; I'm not too heavily invested in it. Just thought you might find it interesting.

[@thinkfact]

TabletopGodhands That's very fascinating! I definitely had my mind blown when I learned about the claustrum and I'm really excited for future studies investigating its capabilities! In terms of your theory/hypothesis, I definitely wouldn't leave anything out of the question! Something you might be interested in is the last perspective actually talking about what are known as "Majorana fermions" and they are what scientists are investigating the most when discussing how to create quantum computers. Or is the lesson over it. It's long but if it's your cup of tea you'll enjoy it!kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYC4nHuhorV6mLs The professor of the class is extremely interested in the mechanisms that go into quantum computing. You may find something useful out of that! Thanks for watching and for sharing! I appreciate it. :)

I was, I am and I always will be. We've always been connected, and so we go. You sure did speak a lot of words! If you go too far, you might scare yourself.

[@Dayanto]

It's interesting that you also came up with the idea that new conciousnesses might be formed in every instant, that merely appear the connected based on memories. The argument over teleportation is an interesting one, though I take it down a bit of a different path. If I was disassembled and reassembled from new material, would that still be me? What if I instead was never disassembled, but instead scanned and duplicated? Either way would be practically equivialent. I like to think about consciousness as a continuous stream of what I experience as "me". The creation of a clone would not in any way influence my own conscious experience; I cannot control multiple bodies or multiple minds simultaneously, and my mind would not be transfered to the clone. Its consciousness might be identical to mine, but it would not _be_ me. Whether or not I am disassembled does not change this fact; thus, any replication not made from my own material would clearly not be me. But what if I was disassembled and reassembled from the same material once again? The stream of consciousness would be temporarily broken, but would it resume again once the material has been reassembled? It's a tricky question. It is a question that gets further complicated by the thought that material in the body keeps being replaced during our lives. What if I one by one could replace all of the atoms in the body? Would my stream of consciousness be broken? I would believe not; there is nothing special about the atoms in my body that makes them different from any other equivialent atoms, so at no point would it seem to make a difference. I would seem to remain "me" throughout the whole process, yet at the end, I would be made of completely new material. It would appear that consciousness is not connected to the matter itself and it should then not matter whether or not I am reassembled from new or the same old material, the end result would be a clone either way. But what about the act of dissolving and immediately reassembling the body again in exact same way, even with every thought intact, makes it any different from if it never happened? What if it's done in a nano-second? What if it's done on half the body at a time? What makes the difference? Maybe there is no difference. Maybe the stream of consciousness is an illusion, that consciousness isn't something that exists at all between different points in time, but instead are a collection of separate consciousnesses for ever moment, that are being fooled into a perception of time by memories of the past. Thoughts on these topics have brought my thoughts between materialism, souls, solopsism and back again many times. Even though it feels as if the universe is screaming in my face that consciousness as something more than just a process of physical systems doesn't exist, it remains something I haven't quite taken to heart. But maybe that's just part of being human: desperately searching for a purpose and imagining oneself as something special; refusing to accept ones insignificance in the vastness of the universe.

[@thinkfact]

***** That was a really great read! You bring up a lot of points especially your closing paragraph better very relevant. It's extremely difficult to explain everything given the little bit of information we truly have, but with that we still try to patch together a story. It just might be our nature. You bring up an interesting point when you talk about the unbroken stream of consciousness. That definitely seems like it could be an important factor, maybe once that stream is broken your brain immediately creates a new one. But then we also have to consider people who have been resuscitated from death. Did they have their chains broken? A lot of them talking about seen a light, or having an out of body experience. Though there has been biological explanations for such behaviors, it's still very fascinating look at especially if it could have a bigger factor in all of this. It's interesting, a lot of people fear monsters, crime, you name it. What I fear the most is the strange behavior of things in the universe once we make the effort to investigate them. If you've got time, here is an introduction to quantum mechanics video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5bQaZVvba1krqc It is a really great job and also explains the some extremely bizarre phenomenons. It's a little long, but no longer than the average television show. If you haven't already been introduced to such science, it's a very informative and yes... A little teeny bit scary. Maybe it's just the music. Haha. Thanks for the comment!

[@ericmilligan6603]

Plato in his philosophy of "idealism" thought that all ideas (and thus what we would call consciousness) existed on a kind of pure plane outside of our physical existence, and that when we are born our essences try to attach to our bodies but the shock of coming into being is so much that we forget almost everything and spend our entire lives remembering or re-learning in a way who we are. I'm not a philosophy expert or anything so I'm sure that's a far from an accurate representation of Plato's ideas but from what I can recall it seems relevant here.

[@thinkfact]

Eric Milligan Definitely could be an interesting perspective if consciousness isn't truly a biological creation and there is more to the darkness then we may know. Thank you for sharing!

Hey Dale, What do you think about software+hardware=person analogy? We are essentially advanced bio computers that have copy+paste (DNA) + learning + self destruction program (free radicals). Even sperm+egg combination at the very beginning is like a compressed file (analogy would be DMG file on Mac) that starts unpacking and installing itself over the period of 9 months. Before that your conscience didn't exist, it was like a bunch of arbitrary files don't make a system, but a system is a bunch of files designed in a specific way that are once installed - form a conscience. What do you think?

We then rubbed alovera on the spot. I remember we used to play a lot in that big closet as well. I use to always go over the neighbours yard and play with his kid. I can't remember what we use to do though. I do remember that I went on a boat trip with them and almost drowned. I was on the edge of the boat sitting and they suddenly started the boat and I fell right in the water. I think because of that his dad left the both of us to play on the dock.

[@DyslexicGamer]

Intriguing. The real question is if there was consciousness before you were born would it be you? If you really think what "you" are, it's really just this, a collection of memories belief instincts and personalities and the environment around you. So if you existed before you were born but you have no memory of that or knowledge of your past self and you basically had to start over when you were born how can this past self be you when the you that is you was created from scratch and the past consciousness is no more. So in that case you're a brand-new consciousness and the past consciousness is gone. It's sort of like deleting a sentence and writing something new. So technically your consciousness is a new consciousness and was somehow created when the old consciousness lost it's memories knowledge and whatever else and was started over from scratch. So technically you were nonexistent before you were born so that's the answer to that if that's the case

Considering that oblivion is what was ocurring pre birth, it's hard for me to imagine it happens again at death. The phenomena of consciousness seems to refute the idea of reincarnation. Makes no sense to only remember this current life over past ones. Taking that a logical step further, it makes no sense that we are experiencing our only blip of sentience and then return to oblivion again.

Absolutely love the video, the multiple angles prevent the (anti)religious nuts away by providing no bias whatsoever. Only one problem however, and one you should have spotted. Why, oh why, did you use a font so similar to comic sans ;-; it shares its spot it the uncanny valley.

[@thinkfact]

TheEvilVargon The way I like presenting information to people perfectly complements this behavior. Whenever I tackle a tough question, one that may truly not have any solidified answer, I feel the best way to do that is to provide as many perspectives as possible. This also allows me to give people options and because I don't want to make it feel like I'm preaching to people because I'm not. I just love giving people new perspectives and ideas! So my format, my goals, and mine enjoyment I'll kind of mix together harmonize quite well! I'm sorry about the font, normally I don't really care too much so long as it's very clear and easy to see. But I can assure you I didn't use comic sans, it was something labeled "chalk." I don't quite understand why so many people don't like comic sans, haha.

[@TheEvilVargon]

Think Fact Its not too big a deal, but VSauce has a great video "In defense of Comic Sans" where he talks about the uncanny valley. Comic sans, ans similar fonts with terrible kerning and consistency are unpleasant (especially as a graphics designer) to look at. Again, not hating on the video, i love it, but i get really in depth when it comes to fonts.

[@thinkfact]

TheEvilVargon No worries at all! I appreciate you taking the time to bring this to my attention because it's never something that really occurred to be problematic but I do believe being aware of it can help me produce more appealing videos! There is a lot of writing in my videos so what is important to me. I'll have to do more investigating! Thank you! :)

This was pretty cool! This reminds me of something I learned about in school. So (if I'm not mistaken...) the Hindu religion believes in incarnation.

What if inteligent life was found after the day I die? Not only me but everyone before me died with this question and will never know this event. Or the possible first contact, etc. You won't know what will happen with your family and a literally infinite number of possible events. That just makes me sad.

***** Completely understandable. I mean, we live in an age with so much technology and changing culture that even the most outlandish claims that the hundred years ago don't close to the actuality of what happened.

Because it could very well be the people of today we set the foundation for the future of modern civilization's attitude and perspective towards such things.

[@Ryanator]

Yeah I think when you clone yourself into two people, you can say that you were the "old consciousness" and they are the new. Like have I basically passed away if I clone myself?

[@thinkfact]

Ryanator Not if your body wasn't destroyed. The thing with teleportation is it completely deconstruct your body, sends a blueprint to a location, and then you're constructed out of material they're being practically identical. With that, there is no way to justify it will truly be you that comes out of the teleporting machine. If by having to be made, one of them is going to have a new consciousness. There is an extreme likelihood that it wouldn't matter how many is made because if one consciousness we'll be new and not yours, any of them be. So whenever you would teleport yourself, you're killing yourself and new consciousness could potentially be taking over your body. Or at least that seems to be extremely likely, that is unless the consciousness transcend the mind. ;) Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@DanielRojasSinger]

Ryanator I wrote an essay about cloning you might enjoy. Sadly enough, it is in spanish, but perhaps with a little help with online translators you will get to understand at least part of it... It basically matters to this discussion because it deconstructs the common misconception of "cloning" as a way to "fully duplicate" a living being. When you make a clone, the result will be just as similar to the original as an "identical twin brother" would be, but the consciousness wouldn't (couldn't) be cloned, unless perhaps via the way described in the video (perhaps not even via that way). Did you know it is not possible for a clone to be really identical? Fingerprints, for instance, would vary.

Thingonometry - Ooops, the word is consciousness, not consciences. The first is awareness, whereas the second is moral responsibility. Are you saying that you are unable to feel the consciousness of others with whom you interact or even become aware of at a distance? If that is the case, I would wonder if you have not yet discovered the 'switch' enabling you to do so, or less probable, that you may be without the capacity for empathy. But it is more probable that everyone is capable of such a level of consciousness, but has not yet discovered that within themselves. I admit that total consciousness of others is a recipe for insanity, but the switch to which I refer is actually a dial, like a rheostat.I am not talking about being psychic. That is a distortion of and just a tiny piece of total consciousness which may or may not be influenced by imagination. The human brain, the habitat of ego, tends to influence for good or ill, that of which it becomes aware.

There is also the perspective that we are part of the universe, not separate from it. There is nothing special about the matter we're made out of, nor anything special about what makes up our matter. As Carl Sagan said, we are parts of the Universe that formed so it can look at itself. Add that to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal, which suggests awareness exists at the atomic level by the most elemental of particles, it makes me conclude that consciousness is a feature of matter itself, and our brains are not what create consciousness, but merely what process experience and store memories. So it is possible that consciousness in itself exists before our brains form, and after they no longer function -- but memory is lost. Which is why we, as parts of the Universe, developed ways to store memory and knowledge externally in symbolic form. This is the basis for Panpsychism, which I think you might find fascinating. plato.stanford.edu/entries/panpsychism/
