The bold predictions were made by Ray Kurzwell, director of engineering at Google, which has now been put under the microscope by Express.co.uk.<\/p>\n
During a Global Futures 2045 International Congress, he sensationally said: We're going to become increasingly non-biological to the point where the non-biological part dominates and the biological part is not important any more.<\/p>\n
The mind-boggling speech added that mankind will have machine bodies by 2100.<\/p>\n
Professor Stephen Hawking also thinks it will be possible to upload our minds saying the brain is like a programme in the mind, which is like a computer, so it was theoretically possible to copy the brain onto a computer and so provide a form of life after death.<\/p>\n
But he added that this is way beyond out present capabilities.<\/p>\n
Express.co.uk discovered mankind is caught in a paradox with experts knowing they WILL be able to do it, but are not sure how.<\/p>\n
While there are solid theories about how we can make sci-fi a reality, theres one major hurdle scientists need to figure out first understanding what the mind actually is.<\/p>\n
The average brain is made up of around 86 billion neurones which all interact with each other by sending electrical signals.<\/p>\n
Although this is known, what remains unclear is how this makes up the mind what makes us which is proving to be a stumbling block in conscious uploading.<\/p>\n
As it stands, it would take around two years to completely map a flys brain and all of its interaction with itself, so mapping a human brain, including memories which again is unclear how theyre stored, to upload to computer would be virtually impossible, but this doesnt mean that it wont come in the future.<\/p>\n
When Express.co.uk contacted Google to explain how it will be able to upload minds to a computer, it played its cards typically close to its chest.<\/p>\n
A source at Google said it is currently learning how to make computers easier and will begin looking into mind uploading in the future.<\/p>\n
Kurzweil added: Our scanning machines today can clearly capture neural features as long as the scanner is very close to the source.<\/p>\n
Within 30 years, however, we will be able to send billions of nanobots-blood cell-size scanning machines-through every capillary of the brain to create a complete noninvasive scan of every neural feature.<\/p>\n
A shot full of nanobots will someday allow the most subtle details of our knowledge, skills and personalities to be copied into a file and stored in a computer.<\/p>\n
But Professor Rafael Yuste of Columbia University said: \"The challenge is precisely how to go from a physical substrate of cells that are connected inside this organ, to our mental world, our thoughts, our memories, our feelings.<\/p>\n
