Kind of interesting, what do ya think?

I saw that movie, as probably the best role Swartzenegger ever played. I liked Terminator 2 & 3 as well... ~Inky

I was thnking more of I Robot.

As a matter of fact, I have the referenced book in my house, The Physics of Immortality. I found it to be an interesting read for a time, if utterly useless. The entire second half of the book is physics equations, which themselves are based on his philosophical belief that all matter and energy in the universe is simply matter and energy. It's kind of a neat read, if you're up for a flight of fancy. But ultimately the tone kills it; this guy's insistence that he is actually proving something is incredibly tiresome. It oozes pompous academia, not nearly enough fun. The concepts score on the usefulness meter right alongside the theories regarding alternate universes with a doppleganger for each of us. I don't mind a little theoretical meandering but let's try to avoid taking ourselves too seriously. Theoretical physics is supposed to be fun, remember? (I'll be you never thought you'd see that written anywhere.)
