How to Bring Eduardo Back to Life

Giulio Prisco

Thank you very much. First thing first is this thing work. Walking, can everyone hear me? Great.

Giulio Prisco

I wasn’t sure how to interpret redeeming the dead, so I went for a very literal interpretation, which is how to physically bring the dead back. How to bring my ancestor back.

Giulio Prisco

This is my family tree, starting with my daughter. Then there is I, mother, grandfathers We come to Eduardo Scarpeta, who was born in 1854, or maybe he wasn’t born in 1854, because biographies are not clear. in his own autobiography, once he’s age 154, once he’s age 153. So we don’t know when Eduardo was born, and I didn’t and I don’t even know 100% sure that he was my ancestor. You know, the family names are different. Wikipedia says he was, and most books say he was. So I do consider him as my ancestor.

Giulio Prisco

He died in 1925. He was an actor, a playwright, a businessman, a theater owner, a director, a producer. He was one of those people who do everything on the stage. And in fact, His autobiography is called Fifty Years on the Stage.

Giulio Prisco

In fact, his autobiography is a mind file. Is everyone familiar here with the concept of mind file? I see that most people are. Bill Bambridge and Merthyn Rothblatt use this term a lot. It means you know a whole database of everything about a person. biography and pictures and films and things, every record that exists about one person.

Giulio Prisco

Well, a book, an autobiography, is certainly a nine file, but I don’t really think is a complete one. How can you encapsulate a life in a book that sticks. You don’t you really can’t. Also as most people would uh tend to say only the good things and don’t not say the bad things. In fact, if you read Eduardo’s autobiography, you think he was a very nice person. If you read other books that have been written about him Then you start thinking, well, you know, a nice person, but okay, let’s leave it at that.

Giulio Prisco

I don’t think the mind file approach is sufficient to reconstruct and resurrect the person. I had frequent discussion with Bill and Martin. They think it can. I don’t think it can, but anyway.

Giulio Prisco

I’m going to talk about technological resurrection, how to bring someone back from the past. The concept that I sometimes refer to as copying to the future is to use some form of wished uh technology based on superscience, able to go back in time and make a copy of uh whatever is in the mind of a person. Before that, and then reinstantiate the copy in the present, and that’s it. You have resurrected the person. Sometimes you can complete a main file with the data that exists. But sometimes the data don’t exist anymore in the present.

Giulio Prisco

For example, these is uh Eduardo’s theater in Napoleon, Italy, but uh it’s only an old picture because the theater doesn’t exist anymore. The idea is: let’s find a way to go back in time and get the information we need to resurrect our data.

Giulio Prisco

This is technological resurrection, and I have written an entire book about that. where I explore the physics that could be the foundation of the technology of resurrection. I have many different scenarios many different theories, many different possible ways of doing things. Which is the right one? We don’t know yet. We don’t know enough science yet.

Giulio Prisco

By the way, that’s only promotional here. I do recommend everyone that you read my book. Okay, let’s forget about my book.

Giulio Prisco

What I can say about technological resurrection is that it’s not going to happen in it’s not going to happen next week. is not going to happen in the next decade. We are really talking of very far future major transcendent ultra-technology, only the kind of beings that can create and destroy entire galaxies in the universe, I believe, will be able to do something as incredibly challenging as retrieving the data from the past.

Giulio Prisco

But you know The future is long, the universe is young, this time will come. And for us, subjectively, no time will elapse. You just close your he you just close your eyes and uh wake up sometime.

Giulio Prisco

We need physical models. We don’t know enough science yet. So we need to think in terms of the science that I do understand. So I want to make an analogy here.

Giulio Prisco

This is a considered as uh the oldest novel that uh belongs to the journal that we call science fiction now. It’s about a trip to the moon. It was written in the 1600s, the technology that was used to reach the moon was to go to the moon with a bird. Uh that uh who is the first one who can say why that wouldn’t work? No air. Right. That’s uh one of the many reasons.

Giulio Prisco

There is no air in space, so that cannot be done. But it doesn’t matter because There are other technologies that do enable us to reach to the moon. In view of the fact that we know how to get to the moon, I think this old science fiction book was instrumental in giving people the idea. that they could eventually go to the moon and stimulate someone to think about w what eventually became the space travel technology that we have now. So simple, naive, wrong models have, I believe, a value, and it is an important one.

Giulio Prisco

So how to bring Eduardo back through the fourth dimension. Of course, I’m not going to read this text from Martin Gardner. I’ll just notice that in the nineteen at the end of the nineteenth century, the concept of fourth dimension as physi physical uh stage for uh what we call paranormal now was very popular. People used to think that ghosts live in the fourth dimension. People used to think that a god lives in the fourth dimension. And our world is the three-dimensional surface of a vast four-dimensional scene.

Giulio Prisco

You can imagine the four-dimensional like that. This is a giant soap bubble. There is a film, two-dimensional one, embedded in our three-dimensional space. Now make a a step toward one more space dimension up in your imagination. And that is, I believe, a good way to visualize a fourth dimension that can be mathematically and geometrically complex.

Giulio Prisco

And you hear a lot of fourth dimension in modern physics, especially string theory. As a matter of fact, you hear about many more dimensions than four. They say ten dimensions or maybe depending on an interpretation point is really eleven dimensions. However, the concept is that our world, you, me, everyone, everything, is a membrane, we say uh brain, in a higher dimensional bulk. And so you have uh our world here. And the real world of uh leaves and uh trees and sunshine is outside the space that we can perceive. Okay.

Giulio Prisco

Well, I hope everyone has seen Interstellar. Great movie. Who hasn’t seen Interstellar? Whoa, that’s a good advertisement for the film.

Giulio Prisco

The concept of traveling through the fourth dimension and even of beings that live in the fourth dimension is one of the central concepts in Interstellar. Uh keep Thorn the Nobel Prize of 2017 for the first detection of gravitational waves. By the way, I believe he was born here in Utah and is culturally a Norman, was also born in the church.

Giulio Prisco

He describes uh the fourth dimension in the book. All the particles and all the forces and the fields known to humans are confined to our brain. With one exception, gravity, and the warping of space-time associated with gravity, there might be other kinds of matters and fields. and forces that have four spi space dimensions and reside in the book. And this in illustration I have outward is here. Everything that we can see and touch and perceive is here, but you have other things that live outside the three-dimensional fabric of our reality. Gravity is one of these things, and there might be other uh particles that are able to freely move in the bulk.

Giulio Prisco

And there is this concept that taking a very complicated path through The four-dimensional book. One could be able to access times that from the perception of an observer living in the brain would be located in the past. I’m not going to go into any detail. There is a very good book. The perfect wave, which explains this uh theory together with many scientific uh papers, of course. I have to underline that this is a theory, it’s not established uh science.

Giulio Prisco

But let’s use a bit of imagination here. Let’s use even more imagination to imagine beings. that live in the bulk and have access to what we could only call magic and transcendent technology now. By the way, one of the people who developed the theory that I was mentioning before said that perhaps in the distant future we will evolve so that our consciousness resides in a bowl of sterile neutrinos, which are hypothetical uh particles that, uh, according to theories would be able to access the fourth dimensional bowl. And now you can imagine that if super intelligent beings with access to ultra-technology live in the bulk, they could be able to engineer worlds like house.

Giulio Prisco

I’m going to pre-answer the question: Who is this woman here? Is she a god or is she a future human engineer? My answer is that she could be both. And perhaps the difference is not as sharp as many people think. Perhaps our descendant could become like, God, didn’t anyone called Joseph Smith say something like that? Like a hundred years ago, yes, he did. Okay.

Giulio Prisco

Janus is revisited. So let’s imagine a piece of magic ultra technology. Some thing that we can move through the fourth dimension, get it very close to our three-dimensional uh brain, and take a very high definition picture of what is on the brain. Well, uh I think that device looks familiar. In fact, we all have that device, a similar device in our pocket. And I want to emphasize here

Giulio Prisco

the point that from the point of view of my ancestor Eduardo Scarpita, this is a magic device. This is really magic technology, a whole thing you have in your pocket, you look at something called the Internet, whatever that is, you can use it to talk in real time with someone on the other side of the plane, a wall from Fored Foreduardo, that’s Ultratech. Super tech, transcendent tech, and uh uh he died only less than a hundred years ago. Who can imagine what our descendants will be able to do and what magic technology they might develop in hundreds or uh thousands of years. I think some brain scanner printer like this is within the realm of what is physically possible and uh very interesting universe that we happen to inhabit Okay, so that how to bring Eduardo back?

Giulio Prisco

Well, this is simple now. Have all the elements. First, you take a picture of Eduardo on the brain. That’s it. You scan the past, you make a copy of Eduardo. And you move it to another brain, or you move it to the same brain.

Giulio Prisco

That could be an engineered brain that looks very much like our own world, perhaps with some improvements. Or you can bring Eduardo Director into the book. into the real world that we do not perceive, the world of the leaves and the clouds and the trees here.

Giulio Prisco

Now from his point of view, it would be a very unusual environment. So I think they would first put him in some kind of simulated virtual reality like environment to make him feel at home. And I think if they studied his life, they would put him in this home, which is the home that he built. Napoli. And here he had written qui riduio that in Italian means here I am the one who loves. after spending so many years making other people laugh.

Giulio Prisco

He wanted a place where he could laugh himself, and I believe uh in some uh part of the hyperdimensional reality that I have been exploring in this short talk. I think Eduardo is laughing and smiling at us. And I hope you enjoyed my presentation, and thank you. Do you have any time for questions, or does anyone want to ask a question?

Speaker 2

We have a couple of minutes. Okay.

Speaker 3

What if that you are What if Eduardo is doing something better than coming back to Earth and he does not want to come back?

Giulio Prisco

Well, thank you. That’s a very good question. I can give two different answers. One is that if you read his biography, unfortunately he’s only available in Italian You see that he was someone who loved life. And I think that is an answer in itself. Why would he want to come back instead of not coming back? I think because he loved life. And I hope everyone here can do the same thing.

Giulio Prisco

Now coming to the second part of your question, what if he is doing something that is so much better than coming back to a place like this. Who said that There must be only one of Eduardo. He was an actor. He played a lot he he played lots of different characters and I think I’m not an actor myself, but when you are an actor and you play a character, you really become your character. So there has not been only one Eduardo Scarpeta. There have been many of them, and what’s wrong with one more? Two different Eduardos could be doing two different things at the same moment. Don’t forget that time is a concept much more complex than we usually think. So that I think one of him would want to come back

Speaker 2

Yeah, I have a question. Um what’s the impetus for them to or these these supposed future creatures to go and bring them back? If they’re free from being embedded in sort of linear time that we exist, there already is an Eduardo who’s always there. So what would be the point of duplicating?

Giulio Prisco

That’s a very good point. And my answer would be that the permanent version of Eduardo that according to any block universe like theories does exist in space-time. is not necessarily a version that could experience that could have subjective experience. It’s more like a page on a book. Now, if someone is motivated to bring Eduardo back in a format that is able to think and feel, then I think they would not leave him as only a page of a book, but bring him back to reality in a more experienced and experiencing and interacting way. Does that answer your point? Thank you very much.

Speaker 3

Thank you, Julio. Thank you, please.
