Michio Kaku, well-known physicist and co-founder of the String Theory, speaks at a press conference Wednesday in the Student Services Building. One of the topics he explored is human consciousness one day being able to be uploaded to a computer. Kaku feels the advancement in technology will ultimately aid people into a more progressive way of life. Uploading and sharing the human consciousness would serve as a learning lesson by allowing individuals to share experiences with each other. “I would also suspect that people who suffer from discrimination may be able to record memories and share them with people who do not experience discrimination,” Kaku said. Being able to have a person’s memories on a database could also mean being able to take away painful memories that limit a person from moving forward in their life. “Some people think that traumatic memories are good for you,” Kaku said. “I personally don’t want people to suffer needlessly, especially when they’ve already learned the lesson.”
