Why don't we have "Resurrection@Home," a grid-computing tool that will research new methods to resurrect those who have been dead longer & longer?

    Because there is nothing to use grid computing to research. What's to analyse using your spare cpu power?

    • Analyze what chemicals and methods are needed to restore synaptic electricity in their brains, how to restart hormones, how to keep oxygen in brain and body longer so they can have a better chance to survive, and I could go on.

    • You could. But how would the data be recorded? And why would it need a grid instead of any single machine?

    • How would we accumulate the data? Tests with simulations, that's how. The program would simulate various methods to revive the dead, and when one works with someone who's been dead for 5 minutes, we try the same method on someone who's been dead longer & longer until it doesn't work anymore, then the program tries different methods until one works, and the process keeps going, ad infinitum. More and more methods to revive anyone who's been dead for longer will be discovered, and more ways will be found to revive those who have died in different ways too- from freezing to death, to drowning, and eventually to even gunshots to the head. Quantum computers calculate so fast that one second of quantum calculation will equal ~10,000 years of normal computers' calculations. Soon, we'll be practically immortal thanks to Resurrection@Home.

    • So none of this will actually be real data. The idea is certifiable.

    • "Certifiable?" It could mean more than one way. Extrapolated from real body scans, we'd know exactly how a body degrades after death. Computers will extrapolate better in a decade or so.

    • Folding@home is probably based more on extrapolations than real data, and that's widely used, no doubt.

    • a) Still certifiable
      b) Wrong thread when you linked to folding@home -25
      c) I don't care anyway
      d) No-one cares
      e) While alive go to a
      f) Please do not get resurrected

    • Well, so Folding@home is still certifiable (too)? Tell that to Vijay Pande on the project's forums. Oh, and why'd you degrade to just another internet flamer just now? What has gotten into you?--> http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/600753 You're not a sockpuppet of 123mantobeat456 by any chance, are you? PS: In regards to "While alive go to a" - While alive, go to a what?

    • If it's still certifiable, please cite sources.

    • WHERE ARE YOUR SOURCES TO CITE?
