A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible.

The theory implies that death of consciousness simply does not exist. It only exists as a thought because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local.

He adds: “If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”

If you cast your left eye into Hell so the rest of you can go to Heaven, it does weird things to your state vector.
“Nothing exists without a conscious observer.”
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there....
No. You are therefore you think.
No, and the Copenhagen School doesn’t really, either. It accepts its existence as axiomatic without attempting to explain it.
I've been dead .... I saw the bright light, felt the warmth and safety of where I was ..... saw myself, meaning my physical body where it was .... and then I was brought back.
Yes there is an afterlife. I believe it's Heaven. There's a reason I felt warm and safe.
Were posts 4 & 5 sent from 2 different universes??
Scientists Claim That Quantum Theory Proves Kim Kardashian`s Consciousness Moves To Another Mr. Universe At Boredom.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
I’ll take good over bad for eternity please.
Thank You Jesus.
Or that confirm that your brain is running out of Oxygen.
I have spoken with several people who describe a warm and comforting feeling.
Two have described Hell. One was a member of a well known cult and the other a total atheist.
Too many words, ET.
I hear you brother!
Yes, and apparently that dumbass Bill O'Reilly is in both of them.
If one meditates on a “clear” day, they can sometimes see it.
IMO, yes, some element of each of us continues beyond this world. But the very concept of “each of us” is not quite valid when you look beyond.
I, you, all we perceive is the Universe and the Universe is us. Eternal, harmonious and made one by some unexplainable force.
Our perception of time, space, material and self appears to be like a shell that we can only momentarily peek from.
How, why, or “who” made it this way seems to be something beyond explanation in this material world IMO but I applaud these guys for trying.
I think we'd better first answer the question are we singular or am I plural.
You can get the same experience with hallucinogens. At least that is what I am told. :-)
No. You remember you think you are.
We are the world
We are the children...
(Sorry I couldn't help it)
It's from one of those new 3D printers....with two dimensions locked into the paper...and the third connected to one of the other dimensions via a time machine.
They were able to do it by locking into the subconscious of the recently departed Loretta Fuddy...Hawaii's health director who has seen the original.
I think Stephen Hawking has plenty else to be 'angry' about than metaphysical sophistry.
