Book cover for Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe
This means that you are just the information about how those particles are arranged, which means that you can survive even if your body dies. All you have to do is somehow copy that information and have it live on somewhere else.

“Today, we could maybe store the information contained in one of your toenails if we used every computer in existence.”
Jorge Cham, Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe

Oscar Wilde
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“And this idea extends to your actions as well. Every action you take causes interactions with other particles, and changes their quantum state in a unique way that in principle stores the information of that interaction. In a very real sense, our actions ripple through time, never lost and always present in the quantum history of the universe. In this way, everyone who ever lived is still with us, through the faint but indelible mark we all leave on the things around us. One day, you too may die, and you will become part of the universe’s record. There’s an old adage that says we live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew us. According to quantum mechanics, this isn’t just true; it’s a mathematical fact.”
Jorge Cham, Frequently Asked Questions about the Universe
