<OT> Robotics/biotech, could develop to a level where it is possible to capture a image of the entire human mind. Putting religion aside, if a person is a collection of all their experiences and that can be saved onto a hard disk of some kind or installed into a robotic body then conceptually it would be possible to travel at the speed of light (transmission of that dataset via radiowaves), or make time/distance seem trivial (slow robotic body time clock down to perhaps 1 clock tick per hour such that 100 years of travel time seemed like 10 days). Bodies could also be evolved more quickly to better suit the particular environment within which they lived.

Frightening but intriguing thoughts.
