Death is one of the most popular mysteries in the world. Throughout history, scientists have tried long and hard to understand what happens during death and what comes after it. There have been countless findings and reports by people on the topic of death.
These people have stated weird non-scientific facts about dying. Which include seeing a white light at the end of the tunnel, or experiencing something while floating around the room.
All these reports have puzzled scientists and researchers for the longest time, but this is about to change.
Neurologist Theories/Findings
Dr. Cameron Shaw is the man at the center of it all right now. Shaw recently dissected a woman’s brain to find answers to these mysteries and he has interesting findings.
In his eyes, the human body is pretty much like a machine. It tends from the down, losing the basic human characteristics first. He claims, “Our sense of self, our sense of humor, our ability to think ahead — that stuff all goes within the first 10 to 20 seconds. Then, as the wave of blood-starved brain cells spread out, our memories and language centers short out, until we’re left with just a core.”
Shaw also had an answer to explain why some people see light at the end of a tunnel when they are dying. He linked it to the blood supply being reduced to the human brain. Regarding this, he said, “We know from experience tunnel vision emerges abruptly when you suddenly lose blood supply to the brain. The first thing you notice in fainting is the narrowing of vision, followed by blackness. You could argue that’s the way in which death would progress as well because the same mechanisms are in place and it’s an interruption of blood flow to the brain.”
Dr. Cameron was also able to explain out of body experiences. Shaw claims that these experiences are nothing but the brain playing tricks on the person. He said that the brain tends to create a visual world which is somewhat close to reality but is not reality itself. Which is because you’re more or less blind at that time.
The human brain also tends to playback memories as it is dying, making people see flashbacks while they’re dying. A psychedelic drug called DMT is also released from the brain which may cause hallucinations. This, however, is a controversial theory.
So the next time you hear about someone’s near death experience and they claim these things, you now have an answer.
