nice point raised buddy..
first for ur 1st comment.. u say we have all that time to allow that time delay to seep in in our future.. and the delay is in defining or changing our future.. not in our future.. so that means if somemore over i have rephrased my statesments in my earlier post.. sorry for introducing too much ambiguity..
and as per your doubt regarding a "body" being present.. well according to quantum mechanics, every particle has a dual nature.. that means it acts as a mass as well as a wave.. (even light acts as a particle, that is why it rebounds from any surface) so when its mass characteristics are more strong, then newtonian mechanics governs the body, and when its the wave characteristic, its the quantum one!!
AND death is not our destiny.. death is not a stage.. its a path.. "when" you cross that path can not be effected by your present actions.. you can not predict.. only gives the average value..
