According to scientists, the ‘soul’ does not die, it ‘returns to the Universe’
Humans have wondered from the dawn of time, “What happens to us after we die?”
People who are religious or spiritual typically believe in a paradise or an afterlife. Some people believe that nothing happens to us and that we simply die. Others, on the other hand, think that our souls continue to exist after we die. A couple of researchers claim to have the evidence to suggest that this is a possibility.
Our souls do not disappear when our bodies die
Two specialists claim that while our bodies die, our consciousness – or soul – lives on indefinitely after significant investigation. Quantum mechanics, they claim, enables this. Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that studies how matter behaves at the atomic and subatomic levels. It explains the properties of molecules and atoms, as well as the processes that produce them. This includes the following:
- Neurons
- Electrons
- Protons
- Quarks
- Gluons
- Other esoteric particles
Consciousness, according to scientists Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose, is simply information stored at the quantum level.
Orchestrated Objective Reduction
This storage procedure, according to the duo, is called Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR). This is accomplished by protein-based microtubules, a structural component of human cells that carries quantum information.
“Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing; the micro-tubules lose their quantum state,” says Dr. Hameroff. “The quantum information within the micro-tubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.”
If the person is resuscitated, he claims, the information simply returns to the microtubules, and the person regains consciousness. A “near-death experience” is what we term it. If, on the other hand, the patient dies, their awareness may exist as a soul outside of the body.
Our physical Universe is just our perception
According to researchers at Munich’s Max Planck Institute for Physics, there is an endless beyond after death. They believe that the world we live in is only our perspective, and that when our bodies die, our souls enter this limitless beyond.
“What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible,” explaines Dr Hans-Peter Durr. “The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger.”
Consciousness is derived from deeper level microtubule vibrations, according to Hameroff and Penrose’s study. This not only aids in a better understanding of human consciousness, but it may also aid in the treatment of mental, neurological, and cognitive disorders.
