I saw this today on a Time Magazine that had arrived in the mail while I was in southern California and thought, "This is definitely some Singularity stuff here". For, the last thing they solved was Cars driving themselves. If they apply the same amount of detail to solving death, to some degree death will be solved.
However, here is what I have observed about death.
1. Death takes people you would least expect to be taken.
2. one's psychological state often has more to do with when one dies than anything else.
In other words if you aren't happy enough at what your life has become you might not be around
very long. Maybe thankfully?
3. Death isn't what most people think it is. It is simply the cessation of life. One moment a person is there and the next there is only a body with no person inside it anymore.
So, Can Google Solve Death? Probably not. eventually everyone is going to die. However, they might solve how to keep more people alive longer and longer and longer which will be good for all the people that actually want to be alive. It's just that many people's lives are so bad they wake up wishing they were dead. (some of them every single day).
So, can Google Solve death? Google likely can find ways to lengthen human life for those who want their lives lengthened because of the computer and brainpower that they have available to do it with. But just remember this: They want to make a profit out of you living forever if you do.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
