Quote:Or does it compress into a singularity, as space does as one approaches the speed of light?Yes, that's why an arbitrary amount of time passes in the world around you if you accelerate in it near light speed and then brake again.

i beg to differ. Convert the mass in their body to light, and voila!
I thought about it for a second: could one have neurons made of hypothetical massless particles, thus having a brain at light speed. I think the problem is that communication between the neurons will be impossible without effectively slowing them down.
