Maybe it was a little sad to say goodbye to your physical body, but, at least you still have your consciousness, your mind, and your memories stored safely in the cloud. And in the virtual world, anything that was once real, physical, and finite, can simply be replaced. But, is this really you? Is eternal youth and everlasting life all that it's made out to be? Or is there a dark side to cloud consciousness? What could go wrong?

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.
