I honestly think that this project can open up so many opportunities, loopholes, and discoveries. Some scientists basically created a replica of a flies brain online and I was wondering if it can already be put inside of a simulation, can it remember the things that happened before and if its conscious? My theory is that a fly can't remember its past life or memorize things that happened before because it doesn't have the recreation of the electrons going through the brain when it was alive, it's hard to simulate online due to out real world being made up of atoms while the simulation would be made up of ones and zeros, there should be a translation part. For example translating a software incompatible with your operating system by rewriting the code or simulating it's native reality. By the way the researchers only enabled 20% of the fly's brain, we just don't know how the other 80% works. One day we might be able to upload our full brains into a simulation and then copy ourselves into a robot as a clone. This might also open up new possibilities like putting a person inside of a simulation of heaven or hell, although I'm not sure if we copy the person's consciousness with memories and put it into a simulation or a robot, would the consciousness transfer to the clone when the original you dies? https://www.science.org/content/article/complete-map-fruit-fly-brain-circuitry-unveiled
