Would be nice if it were true but unfortunately there is no hard experimental evidence. Quantum theory can be proved(using the slit filter light theory), the definite proof of quantum immortality is still a very grey hypothesis. Energy cannot be created or destroyed thus when the electrical energy ceases in the brain and cellular kinetic energy ceases it becomes potential and chemical energy(body decomposition) It is is a nice concept, maybe one which explains previous lives(roman soldier etc) ghosts(energy trying to transfer to the next universe) but I am very sceptical, a friend once said to me 'Can you remember before you were born ?' I said 'No', his reply was 'It is like that when you die' A dispelling thought but is it true? Who knows, only we all will when that time happens PS And who says us lot on here are just bassheads with no other interests LOL | ||

Terry, thank you for your response, I had a notion that you would in some regard. I find your response quite useful for my own thinking on this matter. | ||

I also have long maintained that after death is similar to before birth. Given that, in an individual's own mind, one lives forever since one is never aware of any time in which one doesn't exist. Don't believe me? It must be true, my cat agrees with me! Bill, tgo | ||

I cannot remember when I was born either. I was very young at the time. I don't think that I am dead yet. Please correct me if I am wrong. Every morning before I get out of bed I check the obituary pages, if I am not in there - I get up. Boom, tish. Good link Wolf. I found it quite thought provoking. Was it not Red Skelton who said, "Don't take life too seriously, you're not gong to get out of it alive". slawie | ||

"Every morning before I get out of bed I check the obituary pages, if I am not in there - I get up." Hah!. In 1998 my dad suffered a major aneurism and spent months in hospital. Sometime while he was receiving treatment the local paper reported a G Jackson in the next town down the coast had died and all my dad's friends jumped to the wrong conclusion. Dad was actually delighted with the number and quality of condolence messages mum received :-) I guess it's not often one gets to know how well you were liked before you pass on. By the way, he's told his friends not to bother sending cards the next time round. (he's still alive and well and at 87 spends 2 or 3 days a week on the golf course). Graeme | ||
