Excerpt from robertlanza.com
Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told
we will die. We associate ourselves with the body, and we know that
bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests that death is not the
terminal event we think.
One well-known aspect of quantum physics is that certain observations
cannot be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible
observations each with a different probability. One mainstream
explanation, the “many-worlds” interpretation, states that each of these
possible observations corresponds to a different universe (the
‘multiverse’). A new scientific theory – called biocentrism –
refines these ideas. There are an infinite number of universes, and
everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death
does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios. All possible
universes exist simultaneously, regardless of what happens in any of
them. Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the
alive feeling – the ‘Who am I?’- is just a 20-watt fountain of energy
operating in the brain. But this energy doesn’t go away at death. One of
the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies; it can neither
be created nor destroyed. But does this energy transcend from one world
to the other?
Consider an experiment that was recently published in the journal Science
showing that scientists could retroactively change something that had
happened in the past. Particles had to decide how to behave when they
hit a beam splitter. Later on, the experimenter could turn a second
switch on or off. It turns out that what the observer decided at that
point, determined what the particle did in the past. Regardless of the
choice you, the observer, make, it is you who will experience the
outcomes that will result. The linkages between these various histories
and universes transcend our ordinary classical ideas of space and time.
Think of the 20-watts of energy as simply holo-projecting either this or
that result onto a screen. Whether you turn the second beam splitter on
or off, it’s still the same battery or agent responsible for the
projection.
According to Biocentrism, space and time are not the hard objects we
think. Wave your hand through the air – if you take everything away,
what’s left? Nothing. The same thing applies for time. You can’t see
anything through the bone that surrounds your brain. Everything you see
and experience right now is a whirl of information occurring in your
mind. Space and time are simply the tools for putting everything
together.
Death does not exist in a timeless, spaceless world. In the end, even
Einstein admitted, “Now Besso” (an old friend) “has departed from this
strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like
us…know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a
stubbornly persistent illusion.” Immortality doesn’t mean a perpetual
existence in time without end, but rather resides outside of time
altogether.
This was clear with the death of my sister Christine. After viewing
her body at the hospital, I went out to speak with family members.
Christine’s husband – Ed – started to sob uncontrollably. For a few
moments I felt like I was transcending the provincialism of time. I
thought about the 20-watts of energy, and about experiments that show a
single particle can pass through two holes at the same time. I could not
dismiss the conclusion: Christine was both alive and dead, outside of
time.
Christine had had a hard life. She had finally found a man that she
loved very much. My younger sister couldn’t make it to her wedding
because she had a card game that had been scheduled for several weeks.
My mother also couldn’t make the wedding due to an important engagement
she had at the Elks Club. The wedding was one of the most important days
in Christine’s life. Since no one else from our side of the family
showed, Christine asked me to walk her down the aisle to give her away.
Soon after the wedding, Christine and Ed were driving to the dream
house they had just bought when their car hit a patch of black ice. She
was thrown from the car and landed in a banking of snow.
“Ed,” she said “I can’t feel my leg.”
She never knew that her liver had been ripped in half and blood was rushing into her peritoneum.
After the death of his son, Emerson wrote “Our life is not so much
threatened as our perception. I grieve that grief can teach me nothing,
nor carry me one step into real nature.”
Whether it’s flipping the switch for the Science experiment,
or turning the driving wheel ever so slightly this way or that way on
black-ice, it’s the 20-watts of energy that will experience the result.
In some cases the car will swerve off the road, but in other cases the
car will continue on its way to my sister’s dream house.
Christine had recently lost 100 pounds, and Ed had bought her a
surprise pair of diamond earrings. It’s going to be hard to wait, but I
know Christine is going to look fabulous in them the next time I see
her.
