I'm quite into Parapsychology too.
I don't think we have fully found out what happens, if anything, after death.

Strange to think your living soul just ends. No more thoughts. No more anything.

Why?

(, Wed 20 Nov 2013, 12:59, Reply)
Because it's strange to think that.
Same as I can't fathom how the universe is infinite and still expanding, or how we even know that.

We are still discovering things as we go on. In the dark ages they called Science "Religion"

the universe is not infinite
Have you tried reading about any of these fairly basic things which confuse you?

if the universe is infinite in size then it must have existed for an infinite amount of time
Big bang means that there was a starting point, so we know that it has a finite age. It's probably curved, so effectively infinite in that there are no edges, but if you travelled long enough in one direction you would end up back in the place you started from.

Pretty basic stuff.

I was checking that my understanding was correct.

And it is.

I used to read loads of theoretical physics stuff when I was a kid. I still keep up with it on the pop scientific tip. Stuff like Einsteinian relativity being confirmed by the fact that GPS satellites need to be regularly recalibrated because time is slower on the surface of the earth compared to in orbit.

The universe expanding is just a theory, I accept this.
It shows us that there a re still a lot of things we don't know about for sure, which is why Parapshychology interests me.
So does Cryptozoology but I'm not saying I believe in Yeti's. It's an interest.

Energy can't be created or destroyed,
It just converts to a different form - heat, light, etc, etc.
Therefore, whatever energy exists in our bodies odesn't 'disappear' when we die.

I'm not saying our 'souls' or anything exists after death, but the actual energy goes on. Just like the Carl Sagan quote about our atoms being born in stars.

I'm a big fan of Carl Sagan, as you might be able to tell.

it's probably only an existential thing because we are evolved enough to have these thoughts.
I'm sure my cat doesn't ponder the meaning of life.

They probably know more about it than we think.
After all, don't cats take themselves off somewhere private when they know they're dying?

Your body contains energy in many forms.
Kinetic, heat, probably a lod more (I'm no scientist)...
