"Yes, there is life after death, I have been in a deep coma for a week, in which I traveled to another dimension of the universe, a dimension that I could never have before that existed." This is how the neurosurgeon from Harvard University Eben Alexander starts his first-person account of life after death.
If something distinguishes human beings from other animals, we all know that, at some point, our life will end; at least as we have known her up to now. There are numerous studies that support the theory that life after death does exist, but respected physicist and cosmologist Sean Carroll, a professor at the California Institute of Technology, says that the existence of anything after death is impossible.
The doctor says that "we know completely the laws of physics that underlie daily life", and everything has to happen in those margins. Carroll says that for there to be something after death, consciousness would have to be completely separate from our physical body.
Where is the conscience going?
The doctors declare the death of the patient when he stops breathing, the heartbeat stops and brain waves are not detected for several seconds. Common sense tells us that once the organ fails, the blood no longer circulates to the brain and, therefore, the monitors can not detect any activity.
However, consciousness, at the most basic level, is a series of atoms and electrons that our mind gives us. The laws of the universe do not allow these particles to work after our physical death. "The assertions that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decompose into constituent atoms faces a great insurmountable obstacle: the laws of physics that underlie everyday life, everything must happen on those margins, and not There is a way, in those laws, to allow the information stored in the brain to persist after it dies, "explains Carroll.
"If life continued after dying, the quantum field would have revealed 'spiritual particles and forces.' They are only known atoms and forces, there is no way for the soul to survive death," he assures Scientific American. "To believe that there is something afterwards, to put it mildly, requires a physics beyond the standard model, the most important thing is that we need some form for that 'new physics' to interact with the atoms we have in. Within quantum field theory, there can not be a new collection of 'spiritual particles and forces' that relate to regular atoms, because we would have detected them in other experiments ",
¿Death does not have to be the end of everything?
The Bible often compares death with deep sleep (Psalm 13: 3, John 11: 11-14, Acts 7:60). He who sleeps deeply does not know what is happening around him. In the same way, the dead are not aware of anything. However, the Bible teaches that God can awaken them and raise them to life (Job 14: 13-15). For those to whom God resurrects, death will not be the end of everything.
Investigate the afterlife
Very pretext to celebrate death. And to investigate it. As José Miguel says: "Social networks have shown that all those individuals who, in a shy and isolated way, did not dare to speak about these issues come together in groups where they exchange ideas and experiences". Scott Simon, radio announcer NPR, tweeted updates about his mother's agony from his hospital room, to more than a million followers on Twitter. Some felt that Simon was invading his mother's privacy, and others called him egocentric, focusing more on himself than on the mother on his deathbed. Recently, the singer Alejandro Sanz, put this controversial sentence on his Twitter: "The boss has gone", as a farewell to his mother.
Even the duels have a Facebook scenario. One of the most influential in Spain is the "Tunnel Project", where almost 10,000 people, of which approximately 10% have lived a near-death experience, share moments about this type of issue.
"In this group and other similarities," explains the psychiatrist, "we have observed the therapeutic power that for people who have lived a near-death experience and who had never communicated it to anyone, it means contacting each other comfortably and establishing a relationship in which relieve their experiences and stop being considered mentally ill or weirdos ".
An undertaker and her final tips
In the United States, Californian Caitlin Dought has founded the Order of Good Death, which has thousands of followers on YouTube. From her particular room of death, this young and sexy undertaker responds to forbidden questions; going through the new Death Room, in which he helps people overcome phobias. The 29-year-old Californian has become the avant-garde of the acceptance of death, a new movement that calls for commitment to the afterlife.
If, as José Miguel Gaona says, we are programmed to have that horror of emptiness, of nothing, it is logical that human beings try to find a way to transcend. There we have the latest tricks of science to postpone death indefinitely: cloning, genetic modification and other technological devices to repair the ravages of age and to keep the brain active by first copying it via computer and storing it later.
The physicist Stephen Hawking, one of the most obstinate atheists after affirming once again that a God is not needed to start the universe, declares himself a fervent defender of this last possibility, that of scientifically winning to the death the battle for the eternity. A future that is in the minds of many contemporary scientists.
