If 98% of the atoms in our body are replaced in just 1 year, what are we?

[vokain]

"What am I?" is a wrong question. The right question is "What am I not?".

 If we were defined by what we are not, the possibilities would be infinte.  It is easier to define what we are.

What if we're infinite?

 You are blowing my mind.

I may be able to answer this thanks to my researches into The Mandela Effect and so-called Glitches in the Matrix.

You see, when a TME changes something like Steven Segal's last name changing to Seagal the changes are retroactive; once the change occurs all instances of Segal in this case are changed, even old photographs etc. There are however a few things that can't be changed because they exist in a state of superposition outside of the universe; one of those things is human memory. If you search you can still find autographs signed "Segal". This is known as "TME residue"; because it's done from memory and artistic in nature there's no entanglement to the name and it remains unchanged.


My conclusion: the Bible is right yet again, we are an eternal soul.

So tell me, do you recall Segal or Seagal?

Thats quite a surprising facts. I havent seen that movie as well

Anybody here heard (or read) of Parahamansa Yogananda? If 0.50% he says is true we should simply start rethinking the way we live. At least I'm talking for the old wild west where we forgot everything that was linking us to this place.

Interesting thread

Great thread! I haven't heard of this before. I mean is that a fact that 98% of the atoms in our body are replaced in just 1 year? Actually I think it's hard to check if this is true. If someome is claiming that when you eat an apple with an Iron atom in it and an Iron atom in you is replaced by that Iron atom in the apple since all the iron atoms have absolutely the same properties how can you confirm that the atom was replaced?

Mate you are wrong. I told your years ago to look into the secret lhc projects of cern -,-

It is all based on that.

I quoted a scientific study with a link that you can read.

They swallowed a harmless radioactive liquid that showed up on X rays. Slowly, almost all radioactive atoms were discarded on less than 1 year.

On the OP I wrote about the importance of our experiences and environment to our identity.

Epigenetics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics) has stressed the importance of our actions (including alimentation) and environment (external stimulation, stress, etc) to activate or deactivate certain genes.

So, if our genes are determined on conception, the way they work will change according to our life.

There was this book I read a few years ago that explored the idea that the power of belief can be a factor in epigenetics.  

https://www.amazon.com/Biology-Belief-Unleashing-Consciousness-Miracles/dp/1401923127/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466302863&sr=8-1&keywords=biology+of+belief

If stress can be a trigger to activate or deactivate genes, I guess positive thinking, meditation, etc., might also help.

But let's not overstate it. Some of the advocates of positive thinking think it's a mantra.

Until more empirical studies have been done, better read those books with some healthy skepticism.

what do you mean that 98% are replaced,ok let's say it is really happening but tell me ,what does replace them ? LOL

 The idea being that atoms are replaced like with like.

You mean our atoms are being replaced with any other ones?
So we are becoming not human but something randomly else? wtf is this thread actually,i still dont get it lol

[helloeverybody]

I've thought about something similar to this before and always wondered if we where actually the same people wherw years ago or if we are completely different since probably every cell Has been replaced throughout that time.
