Immortality

If somebody lives up until the end of time, are they truely immortal???

What if someone is born a couple of seconds before the end of time? Would thatmean that they are immortal even though they are only a couple of seconds old.

the end of time?

when does time end?

If someone was born two seconds beofre the end of time, he would
not necessarily since for all we know, we may have lived only a
few days anyway.

For someone to be judged as immortal, they have to keep on living
well beyond what is possible for humans. If I lived 200 years without
any aging, then one can safely say that I am immortal.

So long as you imply that time has an end you contradict the idea of immortality, think of it this way someone who is immortal lives for ever but if time ends then that being is not immortal.

Well, yes if you phrase the definition of immortality as "living forever",
but if you phrase it "not dying", then there would be room to point
out that once the universe ends, that person didn't "die", but just
ceased to exist.

Semantics I know, but with such abstract situations, words are very
important.

If you die, you are not immortal. I think that's close enough.

Time can end if humanity rejects the concept of it. In which case, we go about living as normal, just rejecting the concept of time (forever shackled to your wristwatch? frightening way of putting the concept in to words) and going about our normal business.

personally i'd hate to live forever.
u'd have to go through every war, disease, natural disastor...bleh.
i wouldn't mind seeing different times..but not living on and seein the ones i care about die..

living forever could be cool...I could say stuff like Apocalypse

" I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you...I am eternal!

Jus becuzz your Immortal does'nt mean you'll be young.

I want the real deal....stay young..if I get hurt I completely recover with in minutes..none of that pain, suffering and old age stuff....be like Vandel Savage...or I could switch bods every 4 or 5 thousand years like Apocalypse.

apocalypse is only a few thousand years old...he jus rests and regenerates in his chamber..

just like michael jackson....he gotta chamber too....maybe he's immortal...if he gets life...that's gotta suck.

life insurance guy: have you ever though of life insurance..our rates never increase no matter what.

Apocalypse: life insurance....foolish insect...I am ....Apocalyse...I am immortal...life insurance is the tool for feeble being who shall turn into dust...one such as myself shall never die...I am mortal...I have no rival no man can be my equal.

Maybe the world will someday end but time will keep on going for longer than ever. As for immortality I think only god is the one with that. He stays with us forver. The only way I think people will become immortal is if they invent a cure from dying in the future where no matter what it will stop you from dying that once and now you will never be in a situation like that ever and keep on living so long until the day the world blows up but '' Time will never end, My friend ''.

Unless of course all things end and there is nothing

If I could choose, I would want to be immortal and invicible.

Why? I could not imagine a more boring life..

There is nothing to challange you... Nothing you would want to do, maybe it will be fun for the first 100 or something years but after that it will just be boring and more of the same time after time again. History has a habit of repeating itself, and you can prodict what would happen because you already saw it happen before. Having eternal life would suck. Everybody you know and love will eventually die. Every object you owned will destroy itself threw age. Everything you ever saw would dissapear, if you want a live without any purpose then be my guest, but i can not think of a worse punishment then an eternal life.

The thought of immortality doesnt really cross my mind except for the theory of vampirism, which I believe in and always will..whether everyone else does or not. I have a unique vampire obsession anyway.

I sorta remember that line before somewhere when there was a talk about eternal life...

but don't worry... you will get used to losing those people that you love...
