Okay Gentlemen all people faced death, but what if because of recent advancement, science learned how to unlock the secret fountain of health or the cure for aging, eventually people could enjoy a body of an infinite 29 year old or whatsoever age they desire. Considered immortal?

I don’t think so, some may forget the accident chances; let’s say every day there is a 0.001% chance you’re going to get caught dead by a vehicle accident. Consequently just by an accident, death might still kindly stop for you within the infinity, anytime, anywhere, somehow, someway, someday, somewhere. Not mentioning the other chances such as crook chances, discrimination, heath and etcetera and so on and so forth. Supposing death chances for the above circumstances are resolved, could we then just sit back and relax and be Immortal.

Again I don’t think so, history educates us that every civilization must rise and fall, yeah that’s natural phenomena, but their seems to have an imbalance lately because of communication and perhaps the globalization our world are getting smaller shrinking into the extent that we are going be one civilization, and if the time of that civilization draws closer our whole planet earth will collapse. What if because of the recent social advancement we came up with a modern new world order or a new system very distinct and surely effective compare from the pas, would we survive and continue our overbearing advertising?

Gentlemen dating back to the WW1 up to now our society haven’t improve that much terribly it’s just keep getting worst. Okay, from the big bang theory to big boom, cosmologists and astronomers believe that when the universe is 100 times older than it is now, all the starts will be dead and the billions of galaxies will be fading. nobody knows quit what triggers a heavenly cloud of gas and dust to turn into a bright shining twinkling little star, in the long run after 10 billion years the sun just like the other stars will swell up and boom in a spectacular way, exploding as super nova some other constellation for instance the Vela has already suffer the consequences, and in time our very own milky way galaxy.

So unless we got a better Idea or a radio that works, let’s just carry on. If we get caught here where dead

No, it’s not possible, being immortal AFTER being mortal, the transition is emotionally/physically impossible…I hope you were not serious when typing this.

And exactly how would you know? I find it irritating when people give a definitive answer to a question they couldn’t possibly have an answer to. :unamused:

Did someone say something about becoming immortal to you? Your post reads like an answer to a question, but I don’t see the question here. :confused:

Actually.

On this plane called earth. You can become immortalised by your works, ideas and how you have effected others in your life time.

However when it comes to leave this life. Who knows? I have encountered strange events in my lifetime to state maybe there is immortality after mortal death. Although I am not 100% sure, I do not have the tools to look into this.

Love others as you do yourself. This is what I consider more important, especially since we are not long for our lives here.
