Your best chance for next time is if a way can be found to freeze human tissue w/o busting up the cells, while you still have cells of your own. Course need enuf profits to pay for all that liquid Nitro and pay salaries plus infla for the necessary storage. $2000 gold, 6.00 Cu, 3.50 Zn, and Hommell priced Silver should cover the tab til ways found to keep the old bod going indef. Am really P'Od that after 15 billion yrs I arrived on the scene just a few yrs too soon to benefit from the longevity stuff to come. Course might not be allowed to arrive if later and the forever people quota maxed out. Need perfect timing to squeak in just right.

They say the solution to the paradox of going back in time and kill your your father is that if you do that, it splits off into a different universe-lol. Lots of them there universe to spare I guess-lol.

At the risk of taking too seriously a comment made in jest ... I don't see that infinite time implies infinite possibilities of events. I can imagine a universe that simply runs down and becomes static for ever. Not that I see this as a likely outcome. I'm attracted to the idea of recurrent big bang - expansion - contraction cycles. Even if your infinite events scenario is correct, why not infinitely varying life forms? There is no need for creatures just like us to occur again. And even if human beings exactly like us occurred infinitely many times in that infinite time, each occasion could still be in very different circumstances. Etc etc. These kinds of outcomes and probabilities are incalculable. You have to start thinking in more precise terms about infinity - countable vs noncountable infinity, for example. Another thought: Is the number of events occurring, say, on this planet, in, say, one second, infinite or not? I suspect that these concepts are not well defined.
