• I started thinking that it’s crazy that those who do believe in reincarnation always seem to think they are gonna end up back here on Earth. If that shit was real, it would have to be a part of the laws governing the entire universe. Maybe it is real, but nobody on Earth has ever reincarnated back to Earth. They became an alien on another planet trillions of lightyears away.

      That sounds like an improvement.

      If this were the case, what if your soul also had to adhere to the speed of light on its way to reincarnation. So iw you were reincarnated into a creature 1000 LY away, it wouldn’t happen for 1000 years.

        imagine it’s FTL.

        We manage to preserve messages between reincarnations.

        Gets studied to bits by science. Someone develops FTL communication by giving someone a message, offing them and them delivering the message at the new place.

        Except that there are a ton of potential places to reincarnate at. So every message needs massive redundancy to properly deliver

        reincarnation based FTL communication

        What if it didn’t and the spiritual space your soul inhabits between bodies is discovered and exploited as a means for faster than light travel.

        So you’d have a non zero chance of being run over by a starship on your way to your next corporeal form
