If time travel is physically possible, no doubt someone sooner or later will
achieve it. Note that to revive intelligences from the past, we do not even
need time travel. It is enough to have acquisition of high resolution
information from the past, sufficiently precise to record the content of a
brain down to submolecular level.
Maybe it will be possible sometime, I would not bet too much money on it.
Also, why would "they" choose to revive me, a perfectly avarage human sample
from the 20/21 century?
Cryonics seem safer, also I would like to see what happens between now and
then.

###And what will the hyper intelligent do? "Telepathy" perhaps, to let them
fly
as an eagle or swim as a whale.  Time travel perhaps -- sooner or later
they'll crack that nut, and experience battles as Alexander the Great--or
his merest
soldier.  And record Alexander's mind somehow, and keep him around to talk
to.  And record the mind of everyone who ever lived, likewise.  Including me
and
thee, and making cryo redundant.

The same logic that says future technology will be able to revive the frozen
soon -- well, sooner or later -- must hold that it will advance beyond that
point, until in five hundred or surely in five thousand years, all this will
be
in our capability and will get done.  So, frozen or not, you get saved.

Anyone comforted?###
