you're welcome
I find it depressing to think of the future.
Just to know that you'll have lived your life, died and been forgotten by then.

Stop using that word, you haven't got a clue what it means, use hypothesis instead.

You die, you die permanently when the chemical reactions in your brain stop.
Unending, unstoppable cold claustrophobic, perfect darkness, a perfect Vacuum of nothingness, but simultaneously it's none of these things because you can't perceive it.

Quantum Immortality[/QUOTE]
There's a much greater probability (1, or so close that it doesn't matter) that you die than there is that you live forever. Why are you ignoring the certainty in favour of the infinitesimal probability that you somehow manage to survive forever?

Quantum Immortality only applies to life threatening situations, like firing a gun at your own head over and over and over, at least one of you somewhere survives every single time.
But even then, biological life cannot disobey the laws of entropy, they all die at some time.

I hope to fuck that Quantum Immortality is just a theory , because that would be the very definition of hell.
It just ends. It's hard to for us to really understand since we really can't study the process of death from the dying person's view.

It's fine we have the laws of entropy we will definitely die at some point.
Unless we try to live for ever at which point we will die when the Big Rip happens, but we still die but not cause of entropy.
How the fuck can we know, it's not like anyone came back from there and could tell us

It's simple, you die, imagine all your sense stopping, and then no more existence, you can't think because you pop out of existence.
Tadah!!!
I rated anyone who said death/reincarnation/any of that bull funny.
Because it is funny.
I know after I die, there would be great change and happiness in some peoples' lives.
You get raped by necrophiliacs.
Death isn't really all that depressing when you think about it. Even though you don't live forever, you still contributed in some small way to something much larger than yourself. It's not like your entire life was pointless. Humanity as a whole is better because you lived and died.

Well, If the Brain-Chemical Theory is correct, I hope that you live in an Extended Dreamscape.
In your dreams, A Minute can feel like a year, So theoretically, Your brain could make it seem like near infinity.
Although it would end at some point, It's a nice theory for death.
You rot in the ground for hundreds of years until some futuristic society digs you up and puts you in a museum.
All scientific evidence supports nothing
Religion is fractured in many ways and supports different version of the same eternal life story.
Obviously the right answer is Christianity.
An interesting quote from the movie Waking Life:
[quote]You know they say that there's still six to twelve minutes of brain activity after everything else is shutdown. And a second of dream consciousness, right, well, that's infinitely longer than a waking second. You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah, definitely. For example, I wake up and it is 10:12, and then I go back to sleep and I have those long, intricate, beautiful dreams that seem to last for hours, and then I wake up and it's ... 10:13.
Yeah, exactly. So then six to twelve minutes of brain activity, I mean, that could be your whole life.[/quote]
I think it's something like sleeping. You dream about stuff.
You rot in a box and experience the most complete nothingness. The most unimaginable nothing whatsoever.
[QUOTE=Osku958;23160062]I think it's something like sleeping. You dream about stuff.[/QUOTE]
They were talking about death in that scene. That quote is out of context I guess.
I think someone mentioned something similar to this earlier, but i am a man of science (and not religious) and therefore am much more predisposed to believe a scientific explanation than one from ancient texts. Even though of course i understand it could just be as much bullshit as any other explanations provided.
Time is not some force that runs at 1 second per second like some people seem to believe, but it is simply a part of our brain which percieves this. First your audial perception shuts down, followed not long after by your other sensory perceptions such as taste, touch, scent and sight etc. The section of your brain that deals with the perception of time is one of the last to deactivate, therefore making those last few moments on this mortal coil possibly last for an eternity.
The important part here is that the rest of your senses have shut off; meaning those last few moments will leave you feeling like a floating, blind, silent entity. Moments which for you, could feel like forever.
Combine that with the dream like chemicals one free man mentioned, and the fact your brain has a wonderful habit of 'filling in the gaps' and the afterlife may literally turn out to be everything you ever wanted, everything you ever hated, nothing at all, or some blend of them all. A hypothetical heaven, hell, reincarnation, and limbo all in one.
tl;dr every person/religion is correct, but with SCIENCE :science:
