So because solving a problem might require something that might be outside the constraints of physics, I'm implying that solving that problem requires violating physics? That doesn't make sense.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but are you implying that a neuron/synapse-level scan might not be sufficient?
Solving the upload problem possibly requires imaging / scanning at a level of detail that might be outside what is possible within the constraints of physics. If it turns out we need atomic level information for the whole body, the project might be hosed from the beginning, something that better ideas or more thinking can't overcome.
