The Most Audacious Idea in Human History
Imagine a world where death is not final—where every human being who has ever lived can one day be restored. Not as ghosts or memories, but as living, thinking, feeling individuals reconstructed through data. This is the vision behind quantum archaeology, a provocative new field that proposes to resurrect the dead using future advances in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and nanotechnology. It’s not mysticism. It’s information science taken to its ultimate conclusion: if every particle interaction leaves a trace, then—at least in theory—no life is ever truly lost.
