1st Statement:

“When a person excrete, a computer can analyze it and it

can tell what you have inside”

The statement below demonstrates that the statement above is not true.

The introduction of new medical technology has not been so rapid in developing countries, but the sense of ambivalence is the same – technology represents both progress and threat. In countries with multiple healing systems patients can choose whom to consult, depending on their illness. In these countries a technological approach may be chosen as a first or last resort. 


2nd Statement:

That a person can travel through the universe in less

than 10 minutes”

First of all it is necessary an impossible amount of

energy to travel as fast as speed of light and if this can

be achieved in the future (it is nearly impossible) the

human body wont resist it. (If the person reaches this

velocity its mass will be transform in energy, and it will

be capable of travelling in time.) 


No we cannot. No matter how close you are to the speed

of light if you have all the thrust in the universe you

cannot get going past the speed of light. "The famailar

notions of absolute space and absolute time

independent of your relative motion must give way." -

Carl Sagan. There is a nice thing that happens though.

As you mentioned time slows down when you approach

the speed of light. This is because atomic particles dont

decay as quickly near the speed of light.
