Does Quantum Physics Point To An Afterlife?

[lionelf]

It's a year or two old but I've just been made aware of the scientist Robert Lanza and his book on Biocentrism. For some reason the press are just beginning to talk about it over the last day or two as well which is rum

You can google 'Quantum Physics Afterlife' to get many articles on this but here are one or two that seem to cover it

Here's a YouTube thingy

In a nutshell my understanding of the argument (and I'm likely wrong) is that as the Schrodingers Cat example shows everything in the universe is just probable until somebody looks at it whereupon it solidifies into reality. Therefore all matter is simply probable and the only thing that is truly real is therefore consciousness. Consciousness can never be destroyed as with nobody to witness it the universe would cease to exist as our consciousness is the thing that has created it in the first place. It's certainly a rather left-field speculative philosophical interpretation of Quantum Theory.

Interesting no other big guns in the science community appear to be riding to side on this so it's likely BS but it is an interesting hypothesis/head f**k.

It's that by observing something you are locking yourself into the possible universe where it occurs.

So up until that point you are 'free floating' between 'many worlds or possible universes' yes? That kinda gels with what he's saying no? Your point about consciousness is, of course, valid. His point is, if I read it correctly, that consciousness exists outside of the Physical realm so cannot, in any meaningful sense, be destroyed or subject to death.

Hey, I don't believe this stuff but it seemed an interesting thread-in-the-making.
