The brain is the most complex thing ever known... According to the brain.
I don't hear any other organs chiming in!
ThatGuy That Sounds like something a brain would say
its conplex because its takes over 300 years to develope properly, the human brain can live up to 800 years old
Bryan, what are you talking about? "can live up to 800 years old" biblical nonsense?
It would have to be a clone to transfer to like in Avatar which was a clone of you with Na'vi DNA. This makes me wonder if we ever did develop tech like this the government could clone you or anyone else and just upload you to whatever clone of you they want and put you in any position they want. But if the free market remains open opposition would gain this tech too and many corporations would try to find way to use it to make money. The corporations of the world are what really holds power these days not these farcical governments.
if only teachers at school had markers this good
You dont like the squeaky and unreadable ones?
Lenor Levy No because the one's at school aren't good enough to sniff as those ones
My school dont even use dry erase marker- how sad
Florian44790 well they probably cut out the sound and use new markers and get ride of them when they are overused or maybe they highlight the color when they edit to make it more vivid
Lenor Levy yeah....they keep pressing and squeezing it till it's drained out....they squeeeze real hard
if you can't transfer your consciousness then you aren't really living forever it's just some wierdo thing with your memories creepy
it takes 300 years for the brain to develope completly the human brain can live up yo 800 years old
Yeah, what's the point if can't feel the body, so it's just someone else's body with my memories.
Thank you, nemos422s. I've been trying to find sources that explain this obvious "immortality fallacy" but your comment is the only one coming close. People actually think that they would live forever, neglecting to realize that they would be copied and die, with their clone (someone else than you) living on.
We actually transfer our consciousness every time we die, that's called an _incarnation_.
In normal, outside of this #prisonplanet #saturnmatrix #moonmatrix, places hi-vibe souls have ability to retain their past life memories, no amnesia bs.
Bryan Escobar wow ur brains old
No one's said Orochimaru?
+priNc3itachi 😆
This video has reminded me of him haha
Grace Fan I clicked the video because of Orochimaru actually
Grace Fan yeah, that's what I thought lol!
Omg I was literally just about to write a comment like that hahahaha
This video talked more about memories rather than consciousness
joe milton If you are a physicalist, like most scientist. They are some what related, and may specifically be consciousness.
Joshua Merrill oh I see
joe milton The body doesn't have a consciousness it's just the brain firing neurons. It's like luck it's not a physical thing
***** Well where it is then if you think I got it all wrong?
***** Well if you're gonna say that, I would like a reason why u said it.
YES I NEED TO REMEMBER MY PASSWORD FOR ALOT OF STUFF
Lmao

Ahh, my favorite memories... Paris,

The best times..... I remember them like they were yesterday
lol ye
"If our brains were simple enough for us to understand them, we'd be so simple that we couldn't."
-Ian Stewart
maybe our brain is so simple that we can't
@@lockey4262 We can.
yep ikr
You wouldn't transfer consciousness just by creating a human with the same memories as someone else. Of course, that person would think that they are you and would remember everything that you had done beforehand, but that does not mean your two consciousnesses would link up magically. They would still have a separate experience of life and consciousness.
I believe it is pretty difficult to accomplish something like a transfer of consciousness. My consciousness is linked to my specific arrangement of atoms and neurons in this point in space and time. If you teleported me by destroying my body and recreating 'me' somewhere else, my old consciousness would die, and a new one would be born. That would be a new and different consciousness, and the old one would be forever lost.
Josh Blake Well said. People calling "mind uploading" "immortality" is getting old. *:* D
It's even more complex. The atoms of your body and brain have changed many times during your lifetime. But you are still you. So what is "you" actually?
Леонард Рейн Exactly!
Леонард Рейн Continuity. You are your brain, and for the most part, your neurons do not get replaced. Simple as that.
Mr. Whispers But the atoms that constitute your neurons do. Every 5 years, we are made of an entirely different set of matter. Yes, our brain remains the same and we remain defined by our brain, but our brain also changes constantly.
The theseus paradox comes in to play: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus
ASAPscience, you make my life more excellent every time you upload, you make me think and I use your videos to help make presentations in my chemistry class, keep up the good work guys!
FadedHearts Thank you so much for the kind words!
AsapSCIENCE I'm begging you to make a bit about black holes and everything about them plz plz plz
FadedHearts This was so good!!
YES
what? you delete the original voice over and replace it with yours and there you go a presentation lol
This technology could put sex change surgeons out of business.
Where are people gonna get all these spare bodies from? There are enough brain dead people to put anyone out of business
KvAT actually it wouldnt since they would need people to help maintain the body.
All business goes through process of evolution...so yeah it wil be step by step before we get there...
They'll never stop inverting people before birth.
No, just...no
I hope I'm still alive by the time this is available because I want to be able to watch how humanity progresses and evolves over time. It's amazing.
bro u wont have the money for this transfer lmao
@@boss_niko who are you to tell someone you don’t even know they won’t the money?
The best way is to create the future
putting your memory into the brain of another person would not make that person you, it would make them know your memory, they'd likely be unable to tell their own memories apart from yours, and they may change after the procedure, but it would merely be a transfer of information, not a transfer of you into another body.
Ebon Hawk But if we erase the brain of the one we want to copy then will it be you ?
***** No.
*****
no, merely a person who has all your information.
Ebon Hawk
He's right. Let's say you actually transfer 100% of your brains information into another person, and it actually replaces what was already in their brain.
It would essentially be a clone of you. Once you die, you're still dead. Regardless of whether or not their is an identical version of you out there.
To the rest of the world it would be like you never died, but to you... you would be dead.
Lord Vivec Yeah, that can be bypassed through, if you wired these two new minds into two-way connection of thoughts and memories, and wait until they fully merge into one consciousness ruling over two bodies. Then just switch off the old body. From the point of view of _either_ of you, you will not die, just obtain one additional body, and then lose one additional body.
We'll need such technologies to survive space travel in the future. Also imagine if we've established colonies on other planets in the future, we can upload our minds and just send the data at the speed of light through space into other bodies stationed on various colonies.
GuyWithAnAmazingHat imagine aliens capture the signal and make a copy of it, to create a copy of you which they can then use to run experiments on and torture.
happy dreams ;p
GuyWithAnAmazingHat Out with our own solar system the nearest planet orbiting a habitable zone is nearly 12 light years away.
If we find a way to accelerate a spacecraft to near speed of light, there won't be a need for this.
Technically, time and distance would shrink as you accelerate, so getting to a star 5000 light years away relative to earth may only seem like a few days for you.
sol This got scary really quick haha
sol Haha don't worry, we'll definitely have some serious encryption on our consciousness, not just to prevent aliens, but identity theft.
Coppertunes I'm fine with traveling within our own solar system in minutes, for a few centuries at most, until we get faster than light travel and communications.
Selfless was really thought provoking! I loved the plot twist and ending to it :) I got really excited when you guys mentioned it in the beginning of the video. Thanks for sharing with us
i don't really care about immortality. i really just want to know if swapping bodies is possible. if not, then there's always reincarnation.
and if reincarnation isn't real, that there's always lucid dreaming. that's basically my only hope now lol.
haha. As if Science accepts those things.
Yeah :)
Well there's DMT, which is infinitely stranger than lucid dreaming, so I'd say mentally, yes.
It makes you question what "you" are. If you are all of your memories up till the moment you die, and you get reincarnated without any memories of prior existence then the you of now, the current observer, really wouldn't exist.
Brain swaps, tough, they would be neat.
I just would want to do this to see what life as a girl would be like.
My burning question: Why are do we laugh when tickled? and how is it that some people aren't ticklish?
Oh and why it doesn't tickle when you tickle yourself
Seanramiz Laughing is a panic response from being tickled. that's why you can't tickle yourself because you're expecting it. not sure why some people aren't ticklish though
Bonbon Woralert I laugh when I tickle myself and it tickles lololzolzoslzozlolzo uim weirkd
Google it...
Bonbon Woralert I can tickle myself, but I don't laugh as I have control to when I can stop.
Nothing is impossible

JBrandão Just wait, until humanity invent a Warp-Drive
JBrandão not for long
I'm Waiting
@ JBrandao, quantum physics begs to differ
honestly your videos keep my brain running and fill my head with loads of knowledge and all the things you guys talk about is literally so interesting cant wait to see more and more comin
i was just waiting for this kind of material guys ...keep up the good work :D
I think a way to get over the whole "It's just a copy of yourself, not actually yourself" issue would be to syncronize your mind with the new body, slowly transfer sensorial input from body 1 to body 2, and then shut down body 1, so you would be already in body 2. As you keep conscious during the whole process, then it's you, not a copy.
Chappie
Lol right
Poop booba roop flop
Robsu Blibk Yeaaaah chappie is what came to mind :)
I watched this movie a few days ago and OMG BEST MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN! So fucking awesome! I cannot wait until stuff like that becomes a reality and we can create robots that can move with he fluidity that humans can!!

What's with all this striving for immortality? Living forever in a world like this would be torturous.
Yes, but then you'll be dying due to choice, which might as well be suicide
TomcanKnife So what ?
Suicide is bad. No moral person will argue against that.
TomcanKnife Suicide is certainly not "bad" by definition. That's a rather big generalisation. Suicide shouldn't be the huge social taboo it is, in my opinion.
TomcanKnife
Suicide is excellent option why should i bear my excistence if i dont want it anymore ?
It may be possible to clone ourselves down to the neuron while our first body is in some kind of stasis or cryogenic freezing. Consciousness could be transferred to the clone body and it would be like having your younger body back.
you aren't just a collection of memories. Your essence is so much more.
👂👁👃👄👁👂 well actually...
This is kinda similar but didn't in the movie chappie, chappie's creator I can't recall his name he had his consciousness put into a a scout robot is that possible.
Chuy Vega deol :)
Chuy Vega i was thinking that same thing watching this video and i thought it was gnna make a reference to that movie. that is a super spoiler btw and it's Deon [which is pretty close to Dios, Dieu, or Deus ;)]
Ericka Kaliske Chappie has religious undertones
Chuy Vega Chappie was a fun movie but rather hamfisted in it's approach. It suffered the same shortfalls as Transcendence in that it suggested that mapping a persons consciousness and uploading the digital copy into a computer host allowed the person to continue to live - rather than the person being dead and there now being a robot/application with their mannerisms and memories up until the copying point.
Transcendence addressed these questions however Chappie tried to sweep them under the rug under the illusion of a happy ending.
Chuy Vega yes this just cuz the sold themselves out to this movie
Of course you can. It's called Glados or

What?😐
This was an awesome video, but it doesn't really address the question - this is whether or not we can transfer memories.
Your consciousness is far more than just your memories. Thought experiments would suggest that your consciousness is more, even, than the entirety of your brain and body.
Imagine we advanced to the point of being able to achieve quantum teleportation - being able to recreate an exact copy of you, down to the quantum level, in a different location - but didn't need to destroy the original. Which body would you perceive out of? Both? Surely not.
Whatever came out the other end of the teleporter would LOOK identical to you (right down to the spin of the particles in your body) and would have all of your memories (and so it would THINK it was you)... but it wouldn't have your consciousness.
I do not believe that consciousness is 3-dimensionally based, and so cannot be transferred in the way this video suggests.
*yoda voice* the sponsorship is strong in this one.
haljoa who else heared yodas voice in there head
So as long as I don't die within the next 40 years I can be immortal. Great
infinity pool no. but your memories can.
Carla Columna In other words, a dramatic improvement to the act of leaving behind writings and other artifacts. history.hanover.edu/texts/petrarch/pet01.html en.wikipedia.org/?title=Petrarch
infinity pool Closer to 30.
Maybe the universe somehow maintains our consciousness when we die. Unless of course you consider the spiritual alternatives (higher planes of existence, etc).
Anthony Greico
No...our consciousness is our brain, when we die it rots.
Energy can neither be created or destroyed.
yet you're the same fool,claiming there's no God,who is neither created(Apparently) nor can be destroyed.
Hey I just wanted to thank you guys for your amazing content. It really is, maybe not to everyone but Ik a lot of science geeks like me look forward to whenever you post one of these. It really reminds me how much I love science and because I'm still In high school sometimes I go scared and stuff because idk exactly what I'm going to do when I get older. But then I remember the feeling I get when all these fun sciencey facts like why we don't like the smell of farts or how some fears date back to our ancestors and I get so excited and I just wanna tell everyone what I learned (I've probably advertised your channel 50 times). And I remember that yeah I do need to do something with science because that feeling that thEse videos give me I want forever. I'm not sure if you guys just get thanked for your content at all I don't really look at the comments much but here's something that's true and u should always be hearing. So thank you for these videos I really do love them keep it up :)
Can you do one that is on the since of why we are so awake at night and tired during the day??
you cant transfer your conciousness but to others it might be you, same memories different person, similar to that of twin siblings expiriencing very similar lifestyle.
Hey guys ! I love love science! And love how you guys give such simplified and easily understood explanations. Im also a psychic medium ... I have natural gifts i don't use any tools ... I have an understanding that my "gifts" are scientific, intuition being apart of human biology --- The limbic system, the Amygdala ----Hyper sensitivity---- Autism--- Mirror neurons. Please help me share with the world how psychic abilities are possible. :) ! ❤
Finally a new video. Thanks
awesome ASAPscience you make everything so much interesting every time u upload a video love yall plus thats the day of my b-day so even better yeah
remember
CHAPPIE
EXACTLY.
Transfer the conciousness of the human into a robot, and BAM. YOUR BODY IS RENEWED AND LIVING LONGER!
Yes I do
This reminds me of a weird scenario that I have been talking with some of my friends about.
Suppose an exact copy of you is created anywhere in the world the same instant your actual body disintegrates. Would you live on in that perfect copy, or will that perfect copy just think that it's you, even though *you* actually died when you disintegrated?
Depending on the answer to that, it can open up an interesting topic as to what *we* actually are.
This is something I’ve ALWAYS wanted to know!!
AsapScience I love your uploads so much and I hippie you guys would take a moment of your precious time to answer my question. Will we ever find an alternative to fossil fule for modern day vehicles?
Consciousness =/= memories... Conciousness is what really makes you. Eliminate thoughts and memories and what is left?... pure awareness.
okpc Where's your evidence? Have you been able to actually eliminate thoughts and memories? Did you mathematically prove it? Didn't think so.
SangoProductions21 Oh shit. You showed him.
SangoProductions21 S/he might mean that awareness which is primordial: the awareness that perceives thoughts and memories but is not them. In deep states of meditation, you can eliminate all thought, at least what you might call verbal or symbolic thoughts. If you are especially skillful in balancing this gap of thoughts, you can experience non-duality: it is a lucid state in which there is no self but only reality is perceived.
okpc Conciousness and your memories are the same. You are just the bulk of your memories stored in a biological computer. If you change the memories from a biological computer to another, you are still you, only the hardware changes.
alejandrinos essentially, and that's provable by the fact that your "hardware" changes constantly, just by virtue of being a living organism.
If Body A's consciousness is transfered to Body B's Body, what will happen to Body B's consciousness?
Nothing I guess. My theory is: Body B will just have two consciousnesses, go insane, then die really fast because of the said insanity.
Ahh... That would be interesting to watch ☠
Most people would "diagnose" him with schizophrenia. Or maybe he doesn't go insane. I always thought I'd be fun to notice something you didn't notice, be really efficient, or love and hate the same thing.
+Lisa Wang That's why in the movie they tranfered to an "empty vessel". Whatever that means... maybe a clone or something. Maybe they gave something to the other person that made him forget everything
Well I didn't exaxly watch the movie +CookyStuff, why do you think I'm asking 😂
Like always great video and smooth as well given that a movie was also promoted in it. Otherwise the promotional part is mostly forced on the viewers but this well thought piece of art (and science) made me aware of the movie and now I will definitely watch it.
I love your videos because these science that you are giving us will make me a better scientist
I thought you would talk about he technological singularity when I looked at the title. Instead you advertised a movie.
McCarthee The technological singularity has nothing to do with transfering conciousness.
alejandrinos Uhhh yes it does. Instead of transferring your consciousness over to another body, it's transferred onto a computer along with everyone else.
McCarthee No. The singularity is the advent of strong AI, creating artificial conciousness, not trasferring it from humans.
alejandrinos There are multiple manifestations of the singularity. The one I'm talking about is when we humans transcend biology and merge with machines. True AI is small-time in comparison.
McCarthee You're assuming that the singularity won't occur because of AI self-improving without human intervention and that this new intelligence will even allow us to continue existing long enough to merge with our technology. Do you care about what ants want? Imagine an intelligence that is to us what we are to ants, and ask yourself why it should care about our well-being. The singularity is a point in time relating to the speed of technological advancement, not necessarily the invention of an AI or merging biology and technology.
Two seconds after reassuring me that Selfless couldn't happen, you tell me it can, and I'm throwing another panic attack. :(
AsapSCIENCE can you consider the videos to be longer at some topics ? loved this
I have always wondered if someone else could take my brain. I always wondered can I be in someone else's thoughts. I always wondered if I can see the world in someone else's mind. this was very interesting. post more like these please!!!
We could be immortals, just not for long.
(Guys, I know what immortality is. This is a reference to the FOB song. Thanks.)
Then that not consider immortality.
Fob
Immortality is living infinitely so it's not immortality if it ends so we could extend our life but we wouldn't be immortal
Josh Cann It's a reference to the Fall Out Boy song "Immortals". That's the chorus: "we could be immortals, just not for long."
I see what you did there.
so it is impossible to transfer the conscious of body 1 to body 2?
@M.C. Maldek Man I wish we stopped believing in religion,we could have done this ages back.
ambarish kumar lmao religion has nothing to do with it
yes. at least for now
It is POSSBLE INREAL LIFE
Nice overview. One key point worth mentioning is that we still do not have a definition for consciousness (see "the Hard Problem of Consciousness"), and thus we do not even have a metric for success regarding the transfer of it. What very well might happen during such an attempt is that a copy of the current you is made, who thinks and acts as if they are you, but you are actually dead (see, "The Prestige" for an interesting take on this).
What you explained in the video, sounds like a great way to cure memory loss. Also sounds like the start of Total Recall.
I want to be immortal, I am planning to become a geneticist when I grow up so who knows, I might find a way
Purple Demon me too maybe
The whole consciousness transfer reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist
I hope this would happen soon. I can do so many things with that amount of time.
Can I just say that their drawing is awesome!!!
Yes you can.

What about brain transplants? :P
:-O
I think you mean body transplant. Your getting a new body, not a new brain.
That's a glass half full vs. half empty argument...
DerAstrophysiker The brain would eventually die too so wont work
There's a doctor who is claiming he has figured out how to do that. Look up head transplant
Could you make a video for why we dream and what dream often reflects?
I am so looking forward for the day were I can upload info to my brain just before I take any exam :')

Loved this video..science can probably do anything
Conciousness is soull brain is memories
Proof that we are not a brain
Wouldn't the brain know it's itself it wouldn't try to find out
Like you know you are you the brain should have done that but it doesn't
So we are sth else

Good programme
0:55 putting electrodes in a person's brain produces the smell of burnt toast. So...our brains are made out of bread? Cool, I learnt me sumtin new today. lol
No, it's because of various stimulations that produce a smell similar to burnt toast.
Lol!
rusman74x The brain is imagining the smell, it's not from your nose.
NZXcel It was a joke. I thought putting "lol" at the end was good enough to make that clear.

U guys actually make science interesting!!!!!!!!!
I want this video dream/memory thing to get better, like i wanna play and save memorys so that i never lose them like a camera.
Can you talk about head transplants? Sourcefed did a story on it but I don't know the science behind it.
Syasya Qaisara Can't work, the secound you cut the spine you have brain damage. (The Spine is filled with brain cells)
But new science.. if im not wrong there was a paralyzed dude who couldnt control his body apart from his head..
+Mystogan Edolas What if you only cut the minor parts of the spine (connections to neurons on the other parts of the body) but kept most of it intact?
+Mystogan Edolas
it is possible
I literally just watched that movie. Like 10 minutes ago. That is so creepy OMG.
This makes me think about the same question as teletransportation does: would you still be You after that? I mean, would you die and another person with your same memories and brain structure (whole structure in case of teletransportation) would be created? Can we actually answer this question, even in the future?
Another way of asking: would the same soul be being hosted in the other body/brain?
Memories are stored in the soul
I don't wanna live forever.
I'd transfer my consciousness to a billionaire's baby
Great idea.
Eyyyyooooo I had a dream about this concept and I'm writing a book about it 👍🏻
QUESTION: What would happen if you had the power to stop time? I'm thinking of Evie's power on Out of this World (that late 80's TV show), where she can stop time on Earth but move around and manipulate objects herself before starting time again. Her power was limited to Earth I think, but what if it could extend to ALL time, everywhere in the universe?
I'd be grateful if you guys could help me clear this up!
Thanks as always for the amazing videos!!
So, is our consciousness entirely a product of our memories, the types of synapses firing in sequence with each other?
If this is the case, why am I still the same unique consciousness when my mind forms a new connection or allows an old one to die?
I'm an entirely different person, physically and mentally, than I was 7 years ago. Yet I still have the same consciousness that is seeing through these eyes. It feels like we're missing something pretty big.
Ever had an experience that made you feel like a new person, but also, each memory which is not life-changing makes a negligible difference that can take decades to add up to a major change.
As you stated, you are a different person both physically and mentally.
The consciousness you are experiencing now is different than the one you had back then. It shares a lot of the same memories, but overtime, it morphs and changes.
Leon Campa If it's a different consciousness, how am I still the one conscious?
It's the same unique consciousness. For instance, I don't go to sleep and wake up consciously aware of someone else's body. It's always my own, even though my brain keeps changing. It doesn't make much sense,
UnknownXV Technically there's no real way of knowing with any certainty that we ARE the same unique consciousness throughout our lifetimes. The only reason we believe that we are is because our memory provides a chronological consistency to what has happened to our bodies up until we've woken up. But if that wasn't there you'd functionally be an entirely new consciousness. Similarly a digital human personality upon first booting up would completely believe it was human up until it was turned on and might query as to how such a thing had happened. It may even fall victim to anxiety if the personality's memory donor were still alive and well. Point is, any loss of consciousness could mean its death. Our bodies may just be very good at keeping the new ones up to speed.
***** Before my consciousness existed, there was nothing for me. Nothing existed until my consciousness did. I'm still perceiving the world, therefore I must be the same consciousness.
If you watched the last episode of the first season of Adam Ruins Everything, Adam Conover explains why it is impossible to perform such a feat.
that episode was depressing af

Not really if you ask me, the episode's plot was too predictable (-minus the topics covered).
hey i thought the uploading but i hope there was a complete upload that you forget it
I think i would uplode myself into a Geth Platform or Xenomorph,
How cool would it be to be one of them!

Hello!! I love your videos so much! I'm only 14years old and I'm still learning everyday and your Chanel helps me learn. But I have a question for you guys (: could you answer it? Here's my question; do black holes ever go back to a supernova? Thank you so much!!
