I have to rely this way otherwise I am not sure if I can get my points across. But all in all, they are just a set of random thoughts, never will they be tested or whatsoever,
从底层移植思维:
假如思维的载体是大脑,那思维具有移植的可能性,假如思维可以移植,那必然能被移植到机器:包括电脑或者其他载体。不过人类科技发展到这个阶段可能还要50年左右吧。
Brain is certainly the home of the human mind, but mind is not the equivalence of consciousness; perhaps human mind is part of, or the by-products of consciousness, but the latter is far more sophisticated. in other words, the two terms are not quite inter-changeable.
从思维释放的波复制思维:
广义上,意识产生各种电磁波,这种波释放后不会消失,但是也无法回收(也有少数科学家认为这种波可以被回收)。
也有假设认为意识会释放特殊波,这种波人类还无法测量,但是这种波能被准确回首,如果是这样,那意识的确可以被回收。
当然另外有一种假设,认为人类思维载体并非大脑,例如radio的大脑假设,认为思维是从超级计算机被投入到大脑,大脑不能思考,只负责接受超级计算机发来的信息,这又另说了。
We can certainly record and try to decipher mind via detectable brain signals, either in the form of electricities generated by neural activities or by their magnetic equivalence of them. and it is quite true that we can not yet 100% restore a given signal produced by the brain and decipher it afterwards with high accuracy. For consciousness, I personally think we are just getting the very superficial aspects of it, not even close to say that we find out what it really is, let alone obtain or restore it.
要想理解这些东西,必须从纯数学本科,一直学到纯数学博士才能理解个1%。
Maths is a must, and I think experiments are also necessary. After all, consciousness only has been associated with humans and the brains of humans. Theoretical work can shed lights on many, but eventually facts are more persuasive.
加拿大国家科学院的院士,有一个华人院士,在蒙特利尔国家微波研究院专门研究波,他有很多关于这些问题的思考。
几年前他放弃了科学研究,去做了基督教堂的长老。
What a shame! But I guess he is happy with his choice, better than being a quant.
