Setting aside for the moment the transmission of the "soul", there's still the conflict with Heisenberg's thesis, which states [briefly] that you can't exactly determine both the position and the velocity of a subatomic particle. Without this information, you can't replicate the particle with its velocity. And, yes, I agree that this thesis may well prove to be surmountable, but some pretty heavy present-day theory rests on it. Anyway, it makes as much sense to cling to Heisenberg as to the Einsteinian anti-FTL claims ... -- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!orca!andrew) [UUCP] (orca!andrew.tektronix@rand-relay) [ARPA]
