If we can create equipment that observes different space to ours…….? Equipment is all important – more important than intellectual theorizing and speculation!
Give me the hard facts about life after death – not harps, angels and clouds!
We need physics equipment that shows us what happens to matter when it perishes.
What happens when an insect dies? Is there equipment that can observe the atoms and what they do?
We know atoms from people who died centuries ago are in our bodies TODAY!
What if we focused our attention on what is happening versus what "may" happen? What if heaven was now?
Luke 17:21 King James Version (KJV)
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Maybe it could be said that our bodies are a virtual reality suit that we need to put on so we can interact in this earthly virtual reality life.
The brain isn't necessary for us to have consciousness, but it is necessary to function and interact in this physical realm.
If our brains and body where all mechanical, there would not be much mystery. However, quantum physics delves into the realm of subatomic particles, i.e. electrons. Our entire cognitive ability is electrical, thus our brain definitively relies on elements of quantum physics.
Each neuron is a brain so to speak in itself…4:25 and goes on to explain that our brains operate at both, classical and quantum levels…
anyone got a link to the rest of this, really interesting. Thanks in advance 🙂
An experiment has been published that disproves the consciousness interpretation of quantum physics: R. H. S. Carpenter and A. J. Anderson, "The death of Schrodinger's cat and of consciousness-based quantum wave-function collapse," Annales de la Foundation Louis de Broglie 31, 45-54 (2006). The idea of the experiment is that a Schrodinger-cat-like experiment is carried out, and two observers then each get partial information about the outcome. Later, they put the two pieces of partial information together, whereupon both observers become conscious of the experiment's outcome. The question then is, when did the collapse occur? Was it at the time of the experiment (when nobody was conscious of the outcome), or later (when Carpenter and Anderson became conscious of the outcome)? They did a series of trials of the experiment. In every trial, the collapse occurred at the time of the experiment. – Art Hobson, Professor Emeritus of Physics, U Arkansas, ahobson@uark.edu
I'll have to watch it again later. His weird goatie distracted me too much. Next time I'll try and just listen.
A fantastic and amazing scientific consideration that got hyjacked by religious idiots, nice.
Whether he's right or wrong, we need guys like this that go against the mainstream…or else all of science would be purely dogmatic and reductionist.
well there's a flaw in his theory around 8:20. We don't have free will, but we do have consciousness.
Every thought we have = energy,it never dies,God is within us and everything,no matter what you call God it can be The Many Gods Plural male & female Da Vinci encoded the secrets in his art.we can project our reality,Schizophrenic's have an abillity to do it,but it makes no sense to others,We are a fraction 1 /100,000,000,000 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 google of the universe,Google2 Everything evolves into adaption & to higher consciousness,Genesis is overlooked like "let US crean man in OUR image,in OUR own likeness understanding ,God or the force of the universe or divine intervention or us being observed is like an ant understanding us when they are in an ant farm,They have an understanding of an insect,we can create & control their environment we can squash one &and lay down sugar for an other,They have no clue in understanding anything outside their existence,They can't begin to understand our world.So with the HUGE possibility infinite (as far as we know) We can only understand how this world is & some planets & close star systems work but we are clueless,We are like the quantum world to the universe,atoms make make up cell's of matter which can be partials that are part of more mass,every bit of matter is alive the stars,& galaxies remind me of cells that make up bigger mass's & I think infinity goes both ways no matter how big or small you can always go bigger or a step smaller,it will never end,everything gets recycled & evolves bigger & better,So why should our consciousness be any different,Even plants feel trees feel when being cut,Crystal,Quartz Granite & clay holds memory,Physicist know there is more order in the universe than they ever knew,Matter is energy governed by a force,The double slot experiment proves protons only act like they should when the act of observation is taking place,So that proves WE can create reality We are in the creator's image and a creator creates I paint and draw and it's more than an inage just like the robots Japan is making,some people believe they can one day be free willed,I know I sound like a crackpot but remember once you would have your ass killed for saying the Earth's not flat or the center of the universe,Church's altered & edited the bible to create fear for control religion means united worship.& their are 100's of religion cause of man tainting the real truth & making the secret available to only a select few,Even Jesus gave secret Knowledge to his disciples,The tree of knowledge was shown to humans by Lucifer NOT SATIN who are two separate entities,Lucifer represents the light,of knowledge,God did not want us to know the pleasure of orgasm cause the tree of life represents sexual energy which brings us closer to God by suppressing i,That's why Priest do not marry We are like God's rebellious Children & the Buddha Krishna Christ,Mohammad,WERE enlightened,Jesus spent 12 years studying with Monk's in the far east as far as Tibet I do believe if we're not enlightened there is a purgatory to purge us.
He's so right.
justin Case have you ever thought to question the so called proven facts of "science". what we know about science has been fed to us/ the masses just like religion is fed to the masses. Just because it has been labelled as "science" doesnt mean it is correct. You may be just as guilty as the Jesus Joes as having suspended learning and education. An open mind is willing to question everything and consider all posibilities.
if we`re only a memoree ,`whats conscious` explains .
why we think , each experience , trance forms , space membranes .
Stuart Hameroff's original proposal was about quantum effects in microtubules in the brain. claiming consciousness is separate to the body and maybe he is right but the brain controls thought, memory and senses. imagine life after death with no memory, no thought and no senses just an overall 'being of nothingness' it's a terrifying thought in my mind and despite the fact oblivion also scares me i prefer it over the suggestion of an ever lasting consciousness.
To all the heathens here:
If god doesn't exist, who wrote the bible then?
Checkmate
Any and every opportunity the Jesus Joe's have got to stick the religious label on everything. The closed mind is the suspension of education and self-advancement, not to mention the irrationalisation of proven scientific facts. The cherry-picking selection of what suits their belief will continue.
No matter the complexity of Artificial intelligence, it could never capture the true essence of a soul, but maybe that's not the aim.
Sin is a signal from earth,sent throughout the universe,the angelic orders are only observing us. God became interactive with us to show us the way out,it's through Jesus Christ, and what he had accomplished at the cross. A life for lives,for the pulse of the entire world, John 3:16.
Life is very, very, very expensive in terms of incredible quality, you couldn't put a price tag on life. God engineers the finest in quality, but man messes up everything, and puts a price tag on that which is priceless.
The brain is a gateway for the soul.
To be more specific, will I retain memory after death. Will I remember people and events from my life and will be able to know what's happening to the people I love?
Ok, I need some input. If consciousness continues after death, we ARE aware of it right? Or is it like our "energy" continues but death is still just blackness and nothing.
Did I miss something? I heard nothing pertaining to "life after death" in this video.
Stuart Hameroff should have been one of the debaters in the Intelligence Squared debate on Death is not Final.
Emerson spoke of an "over soul"… others have called it "universal consciousness" so my conclusion would be that we are being lived… none of this exist other than in our minds… when our play has ended we go back to that from whence we came… i like the way "Tom Campbell" sums it up… life is merely "virtual reality"…
one thing i dont get is that if we are quantum comptures then why dont the quantum comptures of consusionees
To his end of his speech it kind of goes off sense, ppl can gain the sense of quantum theory of molecules ranging the universe is made of them, hard to determine re-action vs actions for we can't see it at such a grand scale yet. If one goes smaller you start ranging from particles which consists of ions / protons / neutrons but if you go smaller it consists of string theory/super string theory at that level its all guesses so far, back up a few levels, the human race is beginning to build the blueprints of Quantum theory. Back to the conscious part he may be right, but explained it terribly, for everything in the Universe is recycled, wait a minute you ask Universe? we live amongst a Multi-verse …. well to my theory. All of it together is a Universe an its just bigger then we can even comprehend. That the Universe didn't just happen once their was multi explosions in the one big bang. But what happens if the Big Bang has happened more then once, not the explosions but thee event. Putting it all as sets in a grander much bigger scale/ occupying more then one trans dimensional area, making that whole spectrum of trans dimensional area the universe , THATS WHAT I CALL THE UNIVERSE. If that's the case, we simply might be recycled, in that sense we might not be wary what passes by us for no brain/data to output an intelligence/memory as such. It would like being a rock/material object? But this is all theory, nothings proven truly yet.
ZOMBIES…??
I see dumb people o_o
We are energy and that can't die. The body is only a shell that houses the energy. When the body dies the energy goes on.
I think I'm hungry
