FINAL DESTINATION 5
Movie, 2011
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1622979/
Death doesn't like to be cheated.
You changed things on that bridge.
There's a wrinke in reality
and that wrinke is you.
You were supposed to die on that bridge,
you are not supposed to be here.
you shorted death.
So you let death have somebody else your place...
and you take their spot in the realm of living.
All the days and years that they have to live.
And they take yours place in death,
Then the books are balanced.

Excerpts:
You're on the path to truth when you smell shit.
Isn't that what they say, sergeant?
... make sure this is more than a love letter from one Iraqi to another.
- It's a series of bunkers outside Karbala, sir.
Bolo! Get in here.
-What's Bolo, sir?
Bolo is a guy who doesn't know what he's doing.
What's the most important thing in life.
--Respect
Too dependent on other people.
--What, Love?
A little Disneyland, isn't it?
--God's will.
Close.
--What is it then?
Necessity.
--As in?
As in people do what is most necessary to them at any given moment.
Make the fight of freedom on your own.
Then America will follow.
The way this works is,
you do the thing you're scared shitless of...
and you get teh courage after you do it.
Not before you do it.

What is the problem
with Michael Jackson?

What is the problem with Michael Jackson?
What is the problem with Michael Jackson?
You understand my question?
>l`m not sure l do.
The King of Pop.
Michael Jackson.
He come to Egypt.
l see picture in newspaper.
``Hello,`` with the white glove.
``l`m Michael Jackson in my hotel room...
...with my chop-up face.`` Your country
make him chop up his face.
>l don`t think so.
Michael Jackson is pop king of sick
fucking country.
>That`s bullshit. He did it to himself.
You are the blind bullshit, my main man.
lt is so obvious a black man...
...make the skin white and the hair
straight, and you know why?
>No.
Your sick fucking country make the black
man hate himself...
...just like you hate the Arab
and the children you bomb over here.
>l don`t hate children.
...
Do your Army care about the children
in lraq? Do they come back to help?
No, they`re not coming.
Do your Army...
...come back to help the people?
Tell the truth, dudesky.
Save us the big bummer.
You bomb my family. Do you know that?
You blow up my home. The whole street.
My wife is crush by big fucking
block of concrete.
She lose her legs.
Those legs cut off now.
>-That`s horrible.
-What?
>l said that`s horrible.
My God, buddy. l didn`t even told you
the horrible part yet.
My son....
My son was killed in his bed.
He is 1 years old.
He is sleeping with his toy
when the bomb come.
>l have a daughter.
Very nice for you, bro.
She`s safe in Arizona...
...without the bomb, the concrete and
all this shit.
>l`m not from Arizona.
How old is she?
>One month old.
What`s her name?
>Krystal.
What make you decide to tell me
about Krystal, my main man?
>Because we`re both fathers.
l`m not father no more, dude.
Remember?
My son is dead now.
Can you think how it feel

Can We Live Forever
CAN WE LIVE FOREVER
[THROUGH THE WORMHOLE]
Morgan Freeman
S02E08
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1513168/
EXCERPTS:
Can We Live Forever
"In just the past 200 years,
the average life-span has doubled
from about 40 to almost 80 years."
One of the iron laws of physics
is the second law of thermodynamics,
which says that everything rusts,
everything decays, falls apart.
We're all made out of atoms,
and these atoms in turn,
obey the second law of thermodynamics.
Anything and everything in the universe
has the tenancy to go from order to disorder.
And once the damage is done,
it's extremely difficult to reverse things and un-mix them.
It's a process known as entropy.
CRYOPRESERVATION
(Preserving the organs)
The goal of this team at biotech outfit 21st Century Medicine
is to freeze human organs and tissues
so that they can be revived,
undamaged, centuries from now.
Cryopreservation is the preservation of living systems
at very low temperatures.
...biological glass -- a technique he calls vitrification.
VITRIFICATION
Vitrification is the formation of a glass.
So if you take water and you mix it with various chemicals
in high-enough concentrations of chemical
and then cool it down to low temperaturs,
the system will never freeze no matter how low you go.
So if you cool to below that glass-transiton temperature,
our calculation indicate you can store a system
for tens of thousand of years.
Imagine being able to put your body on ice
and then being revived 10,000 years from now.
You could wake up and find yourself
in an age when science has made immortality possible.
Science and Religion:
We're taught to think of science and religion
as separate truths.
Albert Einstein didn't believe that.
He said, "Science without religion is lame.
Religion without science is blind."
The secret to achieving immortality
could reuire the fusion of humanity and God
into an everlasting cosmic computer.
Frank predicts that,
at some point in our evolution,
something truly remarkable will happen.
Humanity, the Universe, and God will unite --
a moment he calls the OMEGA POINT.
The Omega Point is the very end of the Universe.
In the process, mankind, or, more precisely, our descendants,
will expand out from this planet
and ultimately engulf the entire Universe.
As our descendants are moving into this final state,
their knowledge and their power and their computer capacity
is increasing without limit.
THE LAWS OF PHYSICS ALLOW A PROCESS THAT WILL CONVERT MATTER
... INTO PURE ENERGY.
THAT WILL BE THE ULTIMATE ENERGY SOURCE,
WHICH OUR DESCENDANTS WILL USE AND GAIN CONTROL OF IT.
We will be resurrected but we will never have to go through death again.
Frank claims the laws of physics
not only permit this type of immortality --
they actually require it to happen.
Second law of thermodynamics says
the complexity of the universe at the most fundamental level
is increasing without limit.
I conclude
that the validity of the second law of thermodynamics,
throughout all of time,
actually requires life
to come into existence to gain control of the Universe.
CLOCK OF THE LONG NOW.
It's designed to tick for 10,000 years.
10,000 years in the past we were still living in the Stone Age.
Flash forward the same period,
and our civilization and technology will be unrecognizable.
We realize in designing a 10,000-year clock
THAT THE MOST DURABLE DESIGN IS LIKELY THE SIMPLEST.
The clock of the long now will be ALL MECHANICAL.
[BINGO! So for a long term, even being in advanced in technology, we don't use it, because any big disaster -- storm of the sun, or whatever, can destroy everything. so we use more durable -- mechanical, technology. So in same process, our Ancient Civilizations, could have been also (to some extent) Advanced, much advanced than we consider them, but when they tried to give us a message -- a message to people of 10,000 years now, they used more durable techniques, like big stones, pyramids... and most of them are still mystery (watch Ancient Aliens series) how they made it, how they moved it, and how they did it... in short: when you programme (make) a thing which last longer, use a material which lasts longer. abro]
Power in the clock will come from the force of gravity.
A weight-driven system will turn a threaded bar.
And the clock will keep time
in both the short term, with the pendulum,
and in the long term, through a solar synchronizer.
This device may or may not last for 10 millennia,
but that's not really Alexander's point.

Is There Life After Death
IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH
[THROUGH THE WORMHOLE]

EXCERPTS:
Quantum theory claims that every single point in space,
even empty space, can contain information.
This means the information in the micro-tubules
can connect and become entangled
with the universe outside the brain.
CONSCIOUSNESS
If consciousness is a quantum process,
it may solve the mystery of what happens
during near-death experiences.
Let's say the heart stops beating,
the blood stops flowing,
the microtubules lose their quantum state.
But the quantum information which is in the microtubules,
isn't destroyed.
It can't be destroyed.
It just distributes and dissipates
to the Universe at large.
If the patient is resuscitated, revived,
this quantum information can go back into the microtubules,
and the patient says, "I had a near-death experiences,
"I saw white light. I saw a tunnel. I saw my dead relatives.
I may be even floated out of my body."
Now, if they're not revived and the patient dies,
then it's possible that this quantum information
can exist outside the body,
perhaps indefinitely as a soul.
Many scientists find it difficult to believe
that the soul is a quantum computer,
hard-wired into the cosmos.
The simplest definition of consciousness --
that which goes away when you fall into dreamless sleep.
But the fact of the matter is,
the brain doesn't shut off at all.
The neurons, the nerve cells, are actually just as active,
in a sense, as they are when you are awake.
So, it is an interesting scientific question.
How would it be, then,
that you disappear when your brain is still there
and buzzing along?
... Now that Brady is asleep,
we are going to ring the bell again
and see how his brain responds when -- after falling asleep.
Once again, the brain lights up.
But this time, there is no reverberation.
The ring of the bell dies
as quickly as the pulse of magnetism shuts off.
The sleeping brain may be active,
but it has lost the ability to share information
between one part of the brain and another.
Tononi believes this spreading of information
is the key ingredient of consciousness.
In 1907, Dr, Duncan MacDougall determined
that the soul weighs about 3/4 of an ounce,
or 21 grams.
He determined this by weighing the bodies of dying TB patients.
Your body produces 1 billion new cells every hour.
No matter how old you are,
most of you is no more than 10 years old.
Religion tells us that our soul transcend the body.
These are just shells that we walk a around in for a while.
Most scientists don't believe that.
They say that what we call the soul
is a self-aware network of brain connections
that evolved over million of years.
Biology + Technology
"This is a hybrot --
a robot controlled by living brain tissue.
Its brains are in a refrigerator,
but you can see its neurons react on the computer screen
as its body finds its way around the lab bench."
Is the soul nothing more than a network of neural processes,
something that one day can be recreated in a machine?
When you lose consciousness, you lose you soul.
You lose everything.
The world does not exist anymore for you.
Your friends dont exist anymore. You don't exist.
Everything is lost.
... mind or consciousness seems to fucntion without the physical body.
FREEMAN: "Perhaps some things really are too big for humans to grasp.
That's when we have to shift from what we know
to what we believe."
