[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;15069450]I was just commenting on how matter cannot be destroyed, only re-arranged into another form of matter, it was off-topic.[/QUOTE] It doesn't mean you are reborn, you just turn into worm/bacteria shit.
It will be nothing, all of my senses will cease to work so i will not feel anything. I just lie in the ground and make the grass grow for a few years
[QUOTE=overdark;15071495]It doesn't mean you are reborn, you just turn into worm/bacteria shit.[/QUOTE] Exactly. Thats what I was saying.
[QUOTE=kirderf;15071480]Its impossible to not turn this into a religious discussion, because this is what all religion basically is about.[/QUOTE] Yeah pretty much and then come the real hard ass atheists in here and it gets shitted up real bad. As for knowing what happens after death everything is a wild guess. Its the most unknown thing known to man because no one comes back after they're dead and tells you how it all went down :v: Well there was that time an FP'er got EVP on his microphone and asked some ghost dude what happens after death and ill leave it at that
Like before your born, but after
YOu die and there's nothing for ever and always. The end.

When your brain is compromised you black out, and time pretty much vanishes because you are no longer conscious. It stands to reason that losing consciousness and dieing would have a similar effect. You just never wake up.
[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;15071097]ITT: People come up with completely unscientific and ridiculously unlikely scenarios that don't even abide slightly by the laws of physcs, because that's what they [B]hope[/B] happens when they die.[/QUOTE] To be fair, I've as much evidence as you do, so I just believe the nice version because it helps me sleep at night.
[i]Deadly[/i].
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;15071403]Black holes break the laws of physics by merely exisitng. They increase gravity to such an extent that time is distorted. But please, make a thread and we can talk about it.[/QUOTE] Since when do Black holes distort time? :raise:
[QUOTE=Splurgy;15071627]To be fair, I've as much evidence as you do, so I just believe the nice version because it helps me sleep at night.[/QUOTE] Well then if you want to retain your integrity I suggest you don't tell anyone. Cause it's just stupid as hell. It's like if I said, "When I'm dreaming I enter a magic pixie land of love and joy forever!" [editline]04:30PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Callius;15071632]Since when do Black holes distort time? :raise:[/QUOTE] Singularity. The point at which gravity is so intense the laws of physics break apart.
[QUOTE=Callius;15071632]Since when do Black holes distort time? :raise:[/QUOTE] Since forever, really.
[QUOTE=Faren;15069082]It's like sleeping except for (much) longer and without dreams.[/QUOTE] I've always thought this.
I like to think of it as like passing on to the next life. kinda like reincarnation
Most of the people who die for minutes say that they are in a place full of happy feelings n stuff. I think that the brain still works if you die for some seconds but.....It doesn't make any sence.
I think our energy goes out into the world again. Maybe one day it will rejoin to form another living being. I'd like to think there's an afterlife though, but it seems so unlikely.
If theres afterlife it kinda sucks,If you start another life you won't remember anything from your previous life so it's kinda useless to have another life.
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;15071652]Since forever, really.[/QUOTE] I'll take your word for it, I was only taught they pulled in all types of matter & radiation.

It's like if I said, "When I'm dreaming I enter a magic pixie land of love and joy forever!" .[/QUOTE] 50 years ago it wasn't stupid. While science can account for most everything, there are still things like "What caused the Big Bang to happen?" and "What happens after death?" that it can't account for. Trying to explain it just leads to idle speculation about two dimensions intersecting or complete cessation of being which, while as credible as my belief are just as stupid if looked at objectively. My position is weakened by being associated with fundies, but that doesn't mean it's "stupid as hell" (which a deliciously apt phrase)

[QUOTE=Callius;15071701]I'll take your word for it, I was only taught they pulled in all types of matter & radiation.[/QUOTE] Don't take my word for it, take Einsteins. Space and time get pulled out of shape near a rotating body.

And those questions are entirely unrelated. We don't know why the big bang happened because there's no way to look past the big bang. I'd say we do know what happens when you die, but people like you just want to cling to happy thoughts. I don't even see how they're happy really. An eternity of living sounds like hell to me. It's not association with fundies that makes your ideas stupid, it's your ideas. That emotion, a known chemically induced phenomenon, somehow persists after death. That your conscious in itself is somehow special and will be brought to a land of mystical wonder when you die. S'all bullshit.
Once you die your Body and Brain break down, since the neurones in your Brain are the only thing keeping the electrical impulses in some semblance of order, rot. basicly, your processor is unplugged.

[QUOTE=Mr. Mcguffin;15071762]Spacetime dude.[/QUOTE] Its the same thing, dude.

[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;15071403]Black holes break the laws of physics by merely exisitng. They increase gravity to such an extent that time is distorted. But please, make a thread and we can talk about it.[/QUOTE] This distortion of time is predicted in Einstein's theory of general relativity. What we see every day =/= what physics predicts. Just because black holes make something we consider extraordinary occur doesn't mean they're some sort of mystical physics-breaking entities.

Was a mistake.
Is that a Bosch painting, OP? Anyways, death is un-theoryable. We have never experienced not existing.
