    Abiogenesis .. Next question. If for practical purposes we'd not be able to retrieve the info, well why would research into abiogenesis typically be so gross? Look at Einstein's body bit 'phantom-relief' experiment for example. ..Having his brain stolen, chased round the country, cut piece from peace. And look at Reddi's experiment. Could it have something to do with the proximity of to feel 'stupid inside' from the 'epiphany'? Or dead from rich in story? ..it's a very 'life & death' research. I write about 'block time' (checkpoints) & string time (loose ends of wick of the past, which since currently no longer has basis). I wonder that to remember doesn't mean that something happened, but that it hadn't, since a person will find it easy to remember something when they create a story surrounding it. To remember something better, may put it to rest. I wonder that we are actually very small, because we can't fit a whole human in a human. They say that when a person sees a basketball, the mind to save space recalls all basketballs as the same ball .. however I wonder it points to that life is a product of the very excitable & overactive imagination of the very small, & just a phase of death. Perhaps all we see & do over our very short lifespans comparable with mushrooms ..is an illusion, shared between us (each person or thing being just a 'bit', & yet another edge of one thing or another). Is to retrieve information on the dead, so in front of our nose we are information on the dead? ..& to study death not be impractical at all?

Not to mention, they (they human) would be now be altered. So any theoretical assembly of the "information" would also have to include all of the microorganisms present, or there would certainly be adverse affects.

When you say I don't have the energy to deal with these kids, that's very close to what it means in physics as well. It's just a concept and not an actual physical thing. Imagine having to say each time, I don't have the capacity to do work to deal with these kids. Or the bullet has a lot of kinetic capacity to do work. Or that battery stores the capacity to do work in the form of chemical capacity to do work then transforms it to electrical capacity to do work.

    I’m not any sort of a physicist, but i had the thought recently that people we’ve lost still exist in time. What if time and space are like the weft and weave in the fabric of reality, and they still live in a literal ‘place’ somewhere removed from where we are in the present. If we pull the pinpoint in time where we are up and drag it to the place in space and time they exist, like bringing two points on a piece of fabric together, it would close the gap we call the passage of time. Until we figure out how to ‘time travel’ like this, and I’m not sure we should tbh, it’s comforting to think that our loved ones still exist, just in a place we can’t get to. 😊

    No. Say you have an event, the event happened in the distant past and now can no longer be fully reconstructed with any current knowledge, it's irretrievable, however that event caused a cascade of following events which are significant in the present. If the information were destroyed then the present would not exist. This is causality, one of the most fundamental aspects of physics. For instance the first living organism on earth is impossible to fully describe today, however if its information were destroyed there would be no life on earth today. Information in a physical sense does not mean 'information humans know,' it means the actual physical state of reality, the arrangement and interaction of particles, fields, and energy.

    It's not physics because you cannot bring back the information retrieved which is destroyed or obliterated for ever but since you know they were once prevalent before such annihilation occurred and you don't have any clue how to have a formulation to capture those once prevalent data! It's not physics that cannot be explained unless at least theoretically proven! But it's not purely psychological because you cannot disprove the data which once were existed! It's rather in the state of notions which are bounded inside a state comprised of somewhat physical and somewhat psychological, but cannot be given a distinctive world of the two said merging worlds! Very interesting isn't it, let's see if future could predict such a formulation for the annihilated data of information!

    If I built a vase, took a photo of it, then put it in an incinerator, it will cease to exist and only the photo will remain. The existence of the photo does not mean the vase still exists. She seems to be confusing existence of something (or someone) with atomic matter, which in the case of the vase existed before I made it and will continue to exist long after it has been destroyed. People (and my vase) aren’t atoms, they’re an arrangement of them. It is this arrangement that defines their existence. Once that arrangement is lost, it ceases to exist, and this process cannot be reversed. Even with the photo (assuming one was taken), only an imitation of the vase could be made. The original will always be lost. Her point is moot. The question was “Are the deceased still with us?” No they are not. I disagree with her argument. Their atoms may continue to exist, but they cannot be brought back, at least not as they were. And again, this is assuming that there are records of their existence.

If you’ve seen those videos of colors suspended in thick fluid which are then mixed one way then reversed back to its approximate initial positions, then you get a demonstration of entropy being somewhat reversed. In a perfect simulation where all data points can be tracked or accounted for, it is possible to reverse entropy and retrieve past information. That’s only in theory however, as in real life it is (as the host said in this video), “for practical purposes, impossible to retrieve.”

The same happens with humans; they rot, decompose, burn, whatever - but their energy still exists, it's transformed into another state, and the past is all around us and in us, and we will become one with the future in that same way too.
