This blog post is the 2nd part of a series of three about near-death experiences.
The first post is about what I went through. The other two are ways of looking at it are quantum physics and spirituality.
Quantum Physics & NDE
Death and what happens to our consciousness afterward has fascinated humanity forever. Near-death experiences (NDEs) often involve profound experiences described by individuals, such as me, who have been on the brink of death, providing glimpses into a mysterious realm that lies beyond our physical existence. While science seeks to understand such phenomena, quantum physics offers tantalizing perspectives that attempt to shed light on these enigmatic occurrences. This article explores the intriguing relationship between NDEs and the fundamental principles of quantum physics, providing insights into the possibilities of an afterlife.
Quantum World.
Quantum physics is also known as quantum mechanics (the mathematics of quantum theories) and is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of particles at the smallest scales subatomic particles or string filaments. This field challenges our classical understanding of cause and effect and introduces concepts like wave-particle duality, entanglement, and superposition.
Let's take a quick look at several concepts that are postulated to be involved in NDEs.
It's Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity that has some interesting connections to near-death experiences and the afterlife. Einstein says that the NOW moment is no longer of fundamental importance. Because nothing can go faster than the speed of light. For example, When you witness something, the speed of light determines how quickly you perceive it.
Sabina Hossenfielder, a quantum physicist, in her interview on the series Closer To The Truth, says that according to Einstein, the NOW contains all moments in the past, present, and future coexisting simultaneously. She explains, since time is relative, there is no way to distinguish one moment from another; as such, those who have been here before (existed before) continue to exist in this present moment.
Of course, this is not my experience or most likely your experience. But does this mean that psychic mediums are actually speaking to those on the other side?
Another Worldview
Dr. Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Center of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, submits a quasi-religious theory.
According to his concept, consciousness is a computer program for a quantum computer, the brain. He thinks that when you die, your consciousness still exists in the universe. This could explain near-death experiences.
He proposes when microtubules (present in cytoplasm cells are polymers that provide structure and shape) lose their quantum state, the information within them is not destroyed. Instead, it merely leaves the body and returns to the cosmos.
Hameroff says, “The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can't be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.
'If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says, "I had a near death experience".'
According to Hameroff: 'If they are not revived, and the patient dies, it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.
