Some could argue that time IS God. It is absolute, omnipresent, flawless, destroys all, heals all, imortal, infinite.

From what Ive read, most scientist agree that time isn't absolute. before the big bang, there was no time in this "universe". You need space to have time. And more than one "object"

Time is subjective and it varies on evey dimensional plane.

Moe I don't think I would. I get the idea and the benefit but idk life on earth isn't meant for that. In some instances when someone is lost suddenly and at a young age I could understand the logic. Interesting concept either way.

Yes but even if before the bang existence was consolidated into a singularity within that singularity time COULD (in a sense) of existed. It had to of occupied some form of space and within that space time could of existed. Since size is all relative that space in essence could of been "infinity". :nerd:

I remember, feel like forever ago, 97 it was announced that they had successfully cloned a sheep. It was huge news and let to a lot of hope for advancing scientific testing among other things. It seems that after that news, its hasn't been mentioned at all. Like nothing. ( Besides some consumer speculation that they sell cloned chickens/ food)
I always wonder what are they doing with that science. Is there an alternate Barak out there? Did they clone Bin Laden and merk him?
Are they cloning people and killing them in attacks for propaganda? Or have they been just developing the science, and doing low level stuff.

I think about this specific topic more than I should. I just feel like, If some scientist told me they made a time machine one day, and never mentioned it again, I'd be
really concerned.
Thoughts.

I believe it. They'd never tell us the truth though.

That would be interesting to find out. Are memories a part of your spirit or DNA? Or is it both?

I don't know but that's a great question. I think the memories wouldn't be a part of your DNA, since you're not born with them. But I do believe your instincts are a part of dna, n are actually past ancestral memories. So I would have to ponder that thought.

What would be your reaction to discovering you were a clone?

:wow:

The boy so nice they made em twice :pimp:

But really tho, I dont know how I'de feel. Prolly feel empty, like my life is meaningless. Just an offshoot of someone else. I'd be the most emotional clone ever.
(unless they cloned Drake of course)

Thanks for posting this. this is what I was talking about.

The World’s First Genetically Modified Babies Will Graduate High School This Year


Remember the sci-fi thriller GATTACA? For those who never saw the film and/or eschewed all pop culture in the late 90’s for some reason, it was a popular movie that came out in 1997 about genetically modified human beings. Now some literally genetically modified human babies born that same year are entering their senior year of high school.

The first successful transfer of genetic material for this purpose was published in a U.S. medical journal in 1997 and then later cited in a Human Reproduction publication in 2001. Scientists injected 30 embryos in all with a third person’s genetic material. The children who have been produced by this method actually have extra snippets of mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA, from two mothers – meaning these babies technically have three parents.
It’s still unclear whether all 30 babies turned out healthy. The Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS) at St Barnabas, participants of the experiment, finally began following up with at least 17 of the now teenagers earlier this year, according to the UK’s Independent. We’ve reached out to IRMS to get those follow up results but have not heard back yet.

While we don’t know the identity of these genetically modified teens, or even how they are doing health wise at this point, the ethics of creating designer humans is still very much a hot button issue. Modifying humans genetically to create some superior race of people or simply to chose one preferred visual trait over another has been debated among scientists, politicians and others ad nauseam. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration no longer even allows such genetic modification to embryos, citing them as a “biological product” and thus under its jurisdiction. They put the kibosh on this practice back in 2002. However, these original embryonic modifications were for parents who would potentially pass on severe genetic diseases to their children if it weren’t for scientific intervention.

These teens could potentially pass on their genetically modified material to the next generation. So even if no other humans are legally able to be created this way in the future, we’ve already introduced biologically modified genetic material into the population with the potential to affect large swaths of future generations to come via reproduction. We’ll be sure to update you, should IRMS release any information on the health of these teens.

This **** right here is downright scary. Just because it was "stopped" by the FDA doesn't mean it was stopped period. 
 
Unless they cloned drake tho :lol:

But yeah, I'd like to think I'd be alright, but i don't know. It'd be a trip to say the least, but at the same time, you'd have nothing to worry about.

Beh, some stones are best left unturned.
 
If you a clone can you really commit suicide though? Wouldn't that just be a homicide? Only way to commit suicide would be if the people that cloned you killed you? Or nah? And how would you ever find out you were a clone without whoever made you telling you? Can a clone make a clone? Can a clone be coned? Do you gain strength or become weaker as a clone of a clone (think inbred humans)?

blue pill?

This is an interesting topic though. I just think there is more than what we've been told, but that's me. I don't think I'd clone myself or a deceased loved one. Things happen the way they do for a reason. 
 
Don't think I'd have myself or any loved ones cloned either.

If memories and feelings don't carry over you basically have a blank slate, a shell of the person you loved originally. Defeats the purpose.

Now if we're talking fully customizable clones whose age, intelligence, and memories you can alter like on some sci fi movie ****... There's a few celebs I need hair samples from.

Ima make the greatest create a player of all time.

I'd rather be able to clone myself w/ memories and live a near flawless life as my clone based on the knowledge I had from my original me, than to be able to clone a bunch of perfect mofos to try to make a perfect create-a-player me.  To each their clone, tho. 
 
i'd clone myself for the organs, blood, and tissue I might need in the future
 
I'm not making a new me, sleazy is an original that will not be duplicated.

I'm tombout a Pam Grier x Rihanna hybrid with Amber Rose's body, Sarah Silverman's sense of humor, and Beyonce's work ethic.
