Lubos Motl and the time travelers

Lubos Motl explains that he now likes "the idea that the 'spiritual proximity' is being geometrized by the recent realizations in quantum gravity". In other words, he thinks that "creatures with poor memory", e.g. bacteria, can be time travelers; We learn that "reappearances of the same bacterium are geometrically connected by bridges according to the (perhaps generalized) ER-EPR correspondence".

So when I get sick I could understand this as an invasion by time travelers, jumping around in the multiverse?
What about the cells which constitute my body?
While I try to type this blog post, the neurons in my brain are jumping through the past and future of the multiverse too?
Actually, I always suspected something like that ...

Well I wish the neurons in my brain that were there when I was younger would jump back in. The ones I have now don't work worth a hoot.

When I read Lubos' blog post I thought that the progress of time is not too kind on human brains...
I guess all those neurons getting lost in spacetime explains it.

Lee, btw you might find some comfort in the fact that one resident in the Bahamas is reversing the aging process using stem cells.
