  • No, I do not think that will happen no matter how much hair or dandruff has been saved over the centuries Even if it were to happen, there is no guarantee we'd get another musical genius. Who are the current geniuses under whom he'd study?
  • Michael Jackson?... (snigger) Seriously though, Beethoven cheekily once said he learnt nothing from Haydn. When you think about the vast amount of data we can fit on a chip the size of a little finger nail, and does it double every 18 months or something? The information is there. Given a few decades we will be able to extract his DNA and all his thoughts from a tiny fleck of nit poo.
  • You could bring back someone genetically identical to Beethoven, but the chance of that person being a musical genius is negligible - we could not possibly replicate the environment he grew up in.
  • Didn't he wear a wig?
