本周四,斯蒂芬•霍金在有关其生平的纪录片电影首映式上表示,大脑就像是计算机里的一个程序,因此从理论上来说,大脑可以被复制到电脑上,人死后,大脑可以在电脑里以另一种形态存活。不过,他同时也指出,这一设想远远超出了目前的技术水平,他还认为“传统意义上的死后重生只是童话”。现年71岁的霍金在21岁时被诊断患上运动神经元疾病,并曾被预期寿命仅有两三年。他表示,他毕生都在早逝的威胁中生活,所以非常憎恨浪费时间。他的自传《斯蒂芬•霍金:我的简史》也在今年面世。 Stephen Hawking has said he believes brains could exist independently of the body, but that the idea of a conventional afterlife is a fairy tale. Speaking at the premiere of a documentary film about his life, the theoretical physicist said: "I think the brain is like a programme in the mind, which is like a computer, so it's theoretically possible to copy the brain on to a computer and so provide a form of life after death. |
