Scientists: Accept it, life after death is impossible

Incredible facts

Disappointing news: scientists insist that there is no such thing as life after death.

A well-known physicist believes that humanity needs to stop believing in the afterlife and focus on the existing laws of the universe.

Sean Carroll, a cosmologist and professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology, has put an end to the question of life after death.

He stated that “the laws of physics that dictate our daily lives have been fully understood” and everything is happening within the limits of what is possible.

Is there life after death?

The scientist explained that for life to exist after death, consciousness must be completely separated from our physical body, which is not the case.

Rather, consciousness, at its most basic level, is a series of atoms and electrons that are responsible for our minds.

The laws of the universe don't allow these particles to exist after we're physically dead, says Dr. Carroll.

Claims that some form of consciousness remains after the body has died and decomposed into atoms faces one insurmountable obstacle. The laws of physics do not allow information stored in our brain to remain after we die.

Dr. Carroll gives quantum field theory as an example. Simply put, according to this theory, there is a field for every type of particle. For example, all photons in the universe are at the same level, all electrons have their own field, and so on for each type of particle.

The scientist explains that if life continued after death, they would find “spiritual particles” or “spiritual forces” in quantum field tests.

However, the researchers did not find anything like this.

What does a person feel before they die?

Of course, there are not many ways to find out what happens to a person after death. On the other hand, many people wonder what a person feels when the end approaches.

According to scientists, a lot depends on how a person dies. For example, a person who dies from an illness may be too weak and ill and unconscious to describe how they feel.

For this reason, much of what is known has been collected from observations rather than from a person's inner experiences. There are also testimonies from those who have experienced clinical death but have come back and talk about what they have experienced.

1. You're losing your senses

According to specialists caring for hopelessly ill people, a dying person loses feelings in a certain sequence.

First of all, the feeling of hunger and thirst disappears, then the ability to speak and then see is lost. Hearing and touch usually last longer, but they also disappear later.

2. You may feel like you're sleeping

People who had experienced clinical death were asked to describe how they felt, and their answers were surprisingly consistent with the results of research in this area.

In 2014, scientists studied the dreams of people who were about to die, and most of them (about 88 percent) talked about very vivid dreams that often seemed real to them. In most dreams, people saw loved ones of deceased people and at the same time felt more at peace than fear.

3. Life flashes before your eyes

You may also see the light you're getting closer to or the sensation of being separated from your body.

Scientists have found that right before death, there is a surge in activity in the human brain, which may explain near-death experiences and the feeling that life is flashing before our eyes.

4. You can be aware of what's going on around you

When researchers studied how a person feels when they were officially dead, they found that the brain is still functioning for some time, which is enough to hear talking or seeing events happening around you, as confirmed by those around you.

5. You may feel pain

If you've been physically injured, you may experience pain. Strangulation is considered one of the most painful experiences in this sense. Cancers often cause pain because cancer cell growth affects many organs.

Some diseases may not be as painful as, for example, respiratory diseases, but cause great discomfort and difficulty breathing.

6. You may feel normal

In 1957, herpetologist Karl Patterson Schmidt was bitten by a venomous snake. He did not know that a bite would kill him a day later, and he wrote down all the symptoms he was experiencing.

He wrote that at first he felt “intense chills and shivers”, “bleeding in the oral mucosa” and “light bleeding in the intestines,” but his overall condition was normal. He even called his office and said he would come back the next day, but that didn't happen and he died shortly after.

7. Dizziness

In 2012, footballer Fabrice Muamba suffered a heart attack in the middle of a match. He was clinically dead for some time, but was later resuscitated. When asked to describe the moment, he said he felt dizzy and that's all he remembers.

8. Feel nothing

After footballer Muamba felt dizzy, he said he did not feel anything. He had neither positive nor negative emotions. And if your senses are turned off, what can you feel?
