How to live forever using VR
Let’s say that within the next 50 years, technology has advanced enough to keep someone immersed in a virtual reality that’s indistinguishable from the real world. Let’s say this person is lying down in a pod designed to keep his body alive, and his brain is connected to this VR with all his senses immersed. This VR is far more fun and interesting than the boring world this man had lived in. Time perception is modified with the VR so that 100 years in the VR correspond to 1 year only in the real world. Assuming the man is 50 years old and he lives to 80 while connected to the VR, it means he can live for 3000 years of interesting and adventurous life instead of a boring 30. No need to invent anything that makes us live longer or immortals, which is impossible. We can simply develop VR that’s advanced enough to change our time perception within it and “live” much longer. Do you think that’s feasible?
