Q&A

Are there physical laws making this kind of revival impossible?

+0

AFAIK, inanimate bodies and life forms are in the end a large set of subatomic particles (and atoms, and molecules) and energy. Unless my basic knowledge of Physics fails me, you can return a particle or an object to its original position. Also, many chemical reactions can be reverted. Could it be possible that in a very far future, people are able to track every single particle-subatomic particle that constituted a dead person, and return each particle-subatomic particle to its original position/state, reshaping the person back from death, or is there any known law in physics that makes impossible to track and/or return a particle to its original position/state, making this general idea physically impossible?
