Life in the Otherworld
SC ( 04/13/2004, 07:11:45 )I believe there are a lot of similarities between this message board and Tir Na nOg, the Celtic land of youth. Tir Na nOg is a mythological parallel world where people don't age or get sick, and spend their time reciting poetry, making love, and engaging in mock combat. People can actually be killed in these battles, but anyone who is killed is resurrected the next day. The co-discoverer of an "immortality" gene, the gene responsibile for pluripotency in cells, named it the Nanog gene after the place in Celtic mythology because he was Scottish.Cyberspace is a parallel world, we don't look like we're aging because only our words show up, the main topics of discussion have to do with imagining a world in which there is no disease and aging, we talk about works of art that deal with those topics, there are people who have virtual sex here, and of course, there is virtual combat here all the time, in which someone who is virtually killed in argument one day can come back the next.In Celtic mythology, people travel back and forth between the regular world and various otherworlds (Avalon in the Arthurian legends is one example). In some stories, people go to a land where they don't age for a while, but don't remain there, sometimes aging at an accelerated rate and quickly dying when they return. There are lots of sites about various otherworlds that can be found by doing a "Celtic Otherworld" search on Google.Here are some Nanog addresses:http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/06/030602024530.htm http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/001321.html http://www.shee-eire.com/Magic&Mythology/Fairylore/Tir-na-nOg/page%201.htm
