I forgot his name, but a scientist said (in the show, thought the wormhole with morgan freeman[ search that on youtube]) that processing power doubles every year, so, in a few years we would be able to simulate our universe ... and certainly our brain
so, he gave an example: he put a brain and a computer with a simulated brain in a box, and if you talked to the box and you couldnt identify if you were talking to a brain or a computer, then that would mean that we would be equal ...
in the future, we will have AI just like ours, we will be able to create robots, just like in the movie Surrogates and control them remotely, plus, we will be able to create virtual universes, so you can experience another life in a computer
maybe we will be able to transfer all your brain to a computer and your information would live forever ... but I dont know what this will mean in a "spiritual" sense
