Mind Upload
The thoughts on mind upload are mostly a mixed bag. Aside from ethical or religious views, it is largely regarded as one of the biggest "question marks" about the human brain. The reason for this is because it addresses a huge problem in science: what is consciousness? Some believe that it is simply a complex network of electrical data that functions much like a computer. Others believe that it is a soul, which is not tangible and cannot be transferred. Another large question is this; if you transferred your mind, would your same consciousness stay intact, or would you just be a copy of yourself, with the same memories? These are all intriguing questions asked in the above video by acclaimed theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku.
