General Science Discussion Thread!

ohhh yeah i see what you mean

thanks for the clarification there

but another question. lets say immortality someone becomes a thing. will that mean we cease to age and could live forever or could we still die from fatal things like stabs or explosions and bullets?
 
Immortality in the traditional sense would not halt the aging process or make us invulnerable. We would just not die (overpopulation would be a major issue without proper management of resources, and we haven't managed to achieve that with our limited lives).

what do you mean by this

we live forever and cannot die in any way so yes making babies would be redundant.

Unless we wanted to overpopulate the planet anyway.
 
Passing on one's genes would be unnecessary if no one could die (though in countries in which survival isn't at risk, it's not a primary motivation for having kids, anyway).

Ninja'd.
 
thats actually kinda scary to think of, being immortal

we'd live through EVERYTHING like even the apocalypse

we could essentially be gods

people wouldn't ever stop reproducing no matter what unless if made infertile, so people would often be hauled off or like evaporated for space

well being immortal doesnt mean we're gods though.

As gods can manipulate all kinds of things such as fire, water, lightning, oxygen and even reality itself.

Immortal is just there to not die, period.

We technically have manipulated all of those.

Well it really depends on the mythology but yes.
