Short answer: No.
Because the word eternal life has no definite time meaning, it can be understood in many ways. Some people think that hundreds of years is eternal life, while others think that living for thousands of years is eternal life. So how many years is eternal life?
Ten thousand years?
In the past, the emperor always told people to call him long live, which meant that 10 thousand years was enough, and some people were so powerful that they claimed to be nine years old.
Almost all emperors want to live forever, and their highest ideal of living forever is long live.
But no emperor ever lived to 1 year, and most of them were short-lived. Because they want to do their best for the country and the people, but also to prevent someone from usurping the throne and seizing power, they want to sing Zhou Xuan every night and play hard in the Sixth Academy.
There is no emperor now, but there are still many people who have inherited the mantle of the emperor praying for immortality, such as cultivating immortality, luck, wild ginseng, health preservation and so on. However, one after another, the master of health preservation or the master of qi left early.
There is a good song in a dream of red mansions. I don't remember anything else, but there is a saying behind every kind of person, that is to say, whoever sees it in the end, whether it is promotion and wealth or a house full of children and grandchildren, closes his eyes, walks away and loses grass.
General Guan just lost grass. Because it used to be a burial, there was no cement at that time, and soon after it was buried, grass grew on the grave, that is, the grass was gone.
Don't be too attached to life, pursue this and that, it will all be a dream in the end, eventually? The grass is gone? .
But modern still wants to explore people's longevity, so will human beings live forever in the end?
Like I said before, it depends on the ending, okay? Immortality? How long does it take to live forever?
There is nothing immortal in the world, the solar system also has a life span, and so does the universe. We are just a group of small reptiles living in the universe, a wave in the long river. You don't say! Immortality? ?
So? Immortality? Is it absolute? Immortality? Just relative. This is an inviolable law in our world.
Now some scientists are trying to study how to solve human genetic defects, how to make cells more energetic, and how to overcome some incurable diseases of human beings. , are trying to improve people's survival time, how to make people live longer.
Therefore, solving various problems of the human body can only make people live longer, and has nothing to do with immortality.
Therefore, emperors and Taoists in the past all wanted to live forever with their own flesh, and were fooled by swindlers without any scientific thinking.
Buddhism has the concept of eternal life, that is, people should not cling to their own flesh, and only when they leave the flesh can they achieve nirvana. Therefore, some eminent monks who attained the Tao died in the form of meditation, that is, they shed their stinking skins, sublimated their spirits and lived forever.
Their ideas are somewhat similar to the modern theory of scientific consciousness transfer, except that Buddhism only stays in an illusory imagination and science is realized step by step.
Relativity of human pursuit? Immortality? , can only be the optimization of human survival. This optimization is to throw away the body and save consciousness.
Now, human consciousness has disappeared, and there is no human brain and body as carriers to supply its energy.
So the top science in the future is how to get human consciousness out of the body. This is the so-called? Immortality? The way.
This is also the ultimate goal of human evolution and the basic requirement of upgrading human civilization to advanced civilization. The upgrading of human existence is the basic condition to achieve advanced civilization.
This is no longer an illusory fantasy of monks and Taoists. Some of the top scientific teams in the world have already started to act.
More typically, Google formed a team, claiming that it took 40 years to make a breakthrough and transfer people's consciousness to computers.
Some countries such as Russia and Japan also have tycoons to support this matter.
In fact, medicine has been able to ensure that the heart and brain can continue to survive through cardiopulmonary bypass. The key to preserving consciousness is to be able to create a container similar to the brain.
Can it succeed? 40 years is hard to say. But what about 400 years and 4000 years? I think it can be successful, which is the only way for human beings to live forever.
But at that time, human beings were not called human beings.
Although it is likely to take the road of man-machine combination at first, there is no need to keep human beings as they are now. At that time, there will be aesthetic standards and social activity norms at that time.
But will the human spirit or soul live forever? I don't think so. As consciousness or energy, human beings must still have a life limit, and there must be a birth and death mechanism.
Of course, we are not poor for decades now. Perhaps in that era, life expectancy has been measured in ten thousand years.
But there must be norms to limit and destroy human individuals, otherwise there will be no rules in the universe.
Another possibility is that individuals may be destroyed, because spiritual human beings can be completely connected into a whole in the man-machine network.
