    Infinite Universe
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of whether consciousness could be replicated if the universe is infinite or cyclical, questioning if a future version of oneself would possess the same consciousness or be merely a clone. Concerns are raised about the implications of potentially existing again without any memory of past lives. The idea of conducting an experiment to test these theories is proposed, but is met with a reminder of forum rules against personal speculation. Ultimately, the thread is closed due to violations of these guidelines. The conversation highlights deep philosophical questions about identity and consciousness in the context of the universe's nature.

TL;DR
Can the atoms that make up me come together again given enough time and create "me" again? Is it possible for the consciousness that I currently experience to ever exist again after my death?
If the universe is either infinite, or it repeats, then I would assume that it would be possible for my atoms to come together again at some incomprehensibly long amount of time after my death. If this were the case, would my consciousness that I am currently experiencing now ever exist again, or would it be like a clone? Also, if said clones life repeated exactly as mine is now with no differences at all, would it still be a clone's consciousness experiencing the new life, or would it actually be me since everything would be the same? The thought that I could possibly exist again at any point in the future with my current consciousness terrifies me, even though I would have no knowledge of having previously existed.

Can you think of an experiment to test this? If not, this isn't science.
 
Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'

Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'

Power = Force v Speed Power of my horse = 104kgx9.81m/s^2 x 0.732m/s = 1HP =746W Force/tension in rope stay the same if horse run at 0.73m/s or at 15m/s, so why then horse need to be more powerfull to pull at higher speed even if backward force at him(rope tension) stay the same? I understand that if I increase weight, it is hrader for horse to pull at higher speed because now is backward force increased, but don't understand why is harder to pull at higher speed if weight(backward force)...
