I read something about the "light" being the brain cell "sparking". There was a better term for it but I don't remember exactly.


I think I exist for no reason. More accuratly put, I don't know the real reason why I exist; I've made my own reason though.

How would you see a brain cell sparking it your own brain? Roll you eyeballs backwards?

Anyhow, I beleive soulds exist. I understand your Athiest thinking, Shotgun, and I understand how you have come to these conclusions. I respect that these are your beleifs, but I merely wish to point out the following:

When any given body dies, with the exception of some that die at older ages, there is still an extremly large amount of energy flowing through them. Kenetic, chemical, electrical, thermal, it's all there. Say a very healthy person is shot through the braincase, instantly dying, in the middle of a jog. It is known in the science world that energy must be transfered from any given spot to another, and yet when somebody dies, what becomes of all that energy? There ought to be an explosion or discharge of some sort, but there isn't. My theory is it transfered into a soul, or something similar, that we cannot yet detect.

When we didn't know about nuclear energy and the like, didn't mean nuclear radiation wasn't there. People still died from Uranium exposure before they knew it was useful for anything, or deadly.

I'm not saying there needs to be a reason for things to exist. I'm saying, to suppose that hidden energies and fields exist to support a possibility that is not mathematically, experimentally, or logically superior is incorrect.

Shapechanger, simply because you're dead doesn't mean your cells are dead.

Not just that, your kinetic and bioelectric energy dissipates.

CheeZe, can you clarify that? I was under the impression that your cells died off after your death from lack of nutrients.

That's faith, therefore philosiphy and not sicence. Proof, when mathematical, logical, or experimental, is a requirement of the scinetific method.

Anti-energy cannot exist because it would annihilate whatever "positive" energy it came across. Meaning souls cant exist as "anti-energy" exist, because that means your body would be ripped apart because of its kinetic energy.

Anti-energy doesnt have to exist. Just because energy=matter does not mean that energy is a direct replication of matter. There are not 200+ forms of energy, energy does not have an advanced particle structure, etc. Therefore, anti-energy is not a logically viable option, as even if it did exist, background radiotion, the Higgs field and other forms of near-omniscient "positive" energy would react and annihilate the anti-energy immeadiately, even if it existed.

You can't prove what happens after you die. I think it like goes against the scientific method. If you are actually dead you aren't able to communicate to anyone what happens. Anything could happen after you are dead, but we can only examine the things we can observe from other people's deaths and the things that happen to the body when you die.

And if you are going to say something like there's an afterlife with a spirit or something, it's like trying find a soul.



What is the definition of energy? I don't know it.

They do die, not instantly. So all the energy you had is still being used. Most logical answer anyway.

Devilesk:
We can find the simplest and most logical answer, when evidence is lacking.

True, so I think that people shouldn't argue against the things we KNOW happens when you die. The rest is up to the imagination, even though one explanation might be the simplest and the most logica. However, you still can't know for sure.

Yeah, but given the data we have, the most likely explanation is the simplest and most logical one.

Ever hear about when there's a ghost around, it gets cold? Maybe that 'anti-energy' is taking the kinetic energy away from the molecules (aka heat) trying to equalize it's energy. It's like negative energy. Like objects moving in opposite directions, simply put.

I totally did that off the top of my head, so I would not asses any validity to that, but it does show that it could be possible.

Anti-matter annihilates matter. Using demaris' logic, anti-energy must annihilate normal energy. Annihilation is the complete destruction of an anti-matter and matter particle when they come in conatact, releasing lots of energy, 100+ times more than nuclear fission.

Therefore, ghosts comprised of anti-energy could not exist.

What is the data that we have specifically?

Kinetic and Thermal energy are not the same. They interchange alot, but they are different.
Plus, it was discovered that if anit-matter existed it would not just cancel-out matter, but because there is an INTENSE amount of energy in every atom (proven by nukes), it would explode with ten times the nuclear force as a modern day nuke. (SInce modern day nukes only convert 10% of the matter they are given to energy)

Therefore, every stray particle of anti-matter drifting from an anit-sun or anti-galaxy, would explode with the power of ten nuclear warheads. When's the last time a random nuclear explosion occured in your backyard?

Isn't there something called dark matter though?

Dark Matter was something Star Trek fans warped the true meaning of.
Dark Matter, is plain and simply, something that reflect NO light. None at all. That's all it is, nothing fancy.

We don't know the true nature of dark matter though. There is also "dark energy", or lambda, a sort of antigravitational force.

Antimatter exists under very odd circumstances, it has been isolated in labs before, I believe.

Wikipedia on antimatter

How the heck this came from the end to dark matter I don't understand...
anyways... dark matter IS SPACE what is the vacuum dark matter or dark matter could be the thing black holes are made of so there.... thats what I think....

I'm unconfortable about the end thing so I'll just say this... its nature.... just have fun and be successful in life *and by succesful I mean be happy that you have achieved as much as you have* so yeah... thats it Oh yeah, if you are feeling unconfortable about "the end" just remember that you aren't alone... we are all playing this game of life...

... pretty obvious.... we still don't exactly know what dark matter really is or we don't know how to hold it or obtain it...

Well i believe in heaven and all that "blam" but when i die i wanna be a high templeress
