immortality and gaining eternal life are the man’s oldest desires. he extends these intra-desires on his champions of myths. champions of several myths and legends, experiment the eternal life differently, whiles death is the destiny of all. so, many believe that champions will be renewed after their symbolic death. yung looks on all champions’ lives as sun and assesses champions’ eternal retur...

This article studies the problem of eternal life from a philosophical perspective. It focuses on the approaches of Bergson, Husserl, and Heidegger from contemporary philosophy, and shows that using these three philosophical approaches can better explain certain aspects of revealed theology, such as resurrection of flesh, eternity in a transcendent dimension, and eternal life as the angels in he...

The Eternal system provides a novel methodology for the consistent replication of objects in an adaptive, faulttolerant, CORBA-compliant distributed system that is susceptible to partitioning. Passive and active replication schemes are supported in Eternal, and mechanisms are provided for the interaction of objects with different replication schemes. Nested operations for both passive and activ...

The Eternal system is a CORBA 2.0-compliant system that enhances the CORBA standard with replication and thus fault tolerance. The novel interception approach implemented in the Eternal system involves capturing IIOPspecific system calls made by the ORB, and subsequently mapping these calls onto a reliable multicast group communication system. The motivation for the use of this approach is that...

Happiness is the eternal pursuit of human beings, and subjective well-being an essential indicator for evaluating happiness. Research on mainly focuses material, economic, psychological factors, there insufficient research impact social factors well-being. Focusing influence can help us better understand “Easterlin Paradox”. Based theoretical model quality, this paper analyzes current Chinese q...

The security number of a graph is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset of the graph such that any attack on the subset is defendable. In this paper, we determine the security number of two-dimensional cylinders and tori. This result settles a conjecture of Brigham et al. [R.C. Brigham, R.D. Dutton, S.T. Hedetniemi, Security in graphs, Discrete Appl. Math. 155 (2007) 1708–1714]. © 2009 El...

We show that the eternal inflation scenario requires violations of the Null Energy Condition (NEC) in de Sitter space. Within the context of semiclassical gravity, NEC violations are absent if the quantum state of fields is assumed to be de Sitter invariant since the expectation value of the “quantum NEC operator” vanishes. We then discuss the necessity of defining a smeared NEC operator. We fi...
