10 Questions for Stephen Hawking
What do you believe happens to our consciousness after death? —Elliot Giberson, SEATTLE
I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.

Theoretically, couldn't we leave out a few of the worse memories, and maybe create a few happy 'memories'? So long as we're going to the trouble, why not make it worthwhile? Throw in a little romantic love, sweeten the mix. Go ahead and cook up something with Claudia. Have her call me after reading my letter, and my life goes another way - the path not taken, the one that makes all the difference.
