But back to the cows, chickens, and corn - the dead is eaten is converted into energy and your cells. What goes becomes food for plants. And so on. Is not that true immortality? Eternal cycle, which is - life.
But, that really doesn't tell us much about day to day experience. Information may not be lost, but the Three Laws of Thermodynamics tells us that it becomes degraded over time, with more and more noise adulterating the signal. The process is not only unavoidable, but irreversible. The only way to recover "lost" information is through an even larger thermodynamic expense. In practical terms, this may mean a far more expensive stereo amplifier that draws more juice than one you paid $89.95 for at Target. In literature, there's no practical application of information-recover that I know of. Once the last copy of Shakespeare is burnt or lost, it's gone. All you can do is try to rewrite whatever people still remember.
"Immortality" would be living forever, while "an immortal" would mean someone who lives forever.
