Okay! Hyde closed two of my threads(D:<), thinking that my questions were too easy to answer, well he *cannot* say the same for the following! Didn't say they were too easy, this isn't a board to ask questions in, this ones is OK because it sparks up discussion about it, but this is not a give your personal opinion and go board. ~ Hyde

Obviously, nobody has died and lived to tell the tale. So, I want you to discuss what *you think* happens after death. Is there heaven/hell? Does you live another life? Is there eternal nothingness? Remember that this is what you think might happen, the point of this discussion is not to prove who is right, but to open people's eyes.


Something to leave you thinking:

You know the law of conservation of matter? How matter isn't created, and isn't destroyed. It's always there, but can take different forms. Think of you that way, you have to go somewhere. But do your experiences? Your thoughts? In science you hear "law of conservation..." a lot. Things don't dissapear, but do these laws apply to non-physical things? Such as thoughts?

^Just a thought, a bit offtopic. I just wanted to get your thoughts going.

Actually he can totally close this because a totally hypothetical discussion and answered in three seconds.

Obviously the logical point of view is that your consciousness ceases to exist when your brain stops functioning, the rest is faith vs. faith

Also what the hell, thoughts aren't tangible objects, the matter of conservation doesn't apply. Teacher-esque attitude doesn't work when you don't understand science.

Thoughts are electrical impulses in your brain. When you die the impulses stop. The law of conservation has no bearing.

Personally I think the entire human race would be better off if they could STOP thinking about this question. This question has played a rather large role in a number of deaths that is, most likely, higher than any other force on the planet. Maybe its not good for us.

Maybe it is. Knowledge is power. If we look into this, maybe we can accomplish resurrection? Even though it's necromancy, it can be VERY good. Like resurrecting a love one.

If everyone resurrects a loved one, what will the world become?

Not a loved one who died of a natural cause, like old age.

But one who was maybe murdered young?

No it just wouldn't work. We are overpopulated without even resurrected anyone.

I actually agree with the replies that were made (sorry, Cloneone1. >.<). This question is a hypothetical one. Thoughts are simply electrical pulses created by the brain that differ from eachother, which is why we think. If our brains were to cease function, there would be no more electrical impulses, and therefore our thoughts would stop. Thoughts are not matter. They are basically processes, like a computer. If a computer processor is shut down, there are no electrical pulses nor a current running through it. Therefore, it would cease to "process" things. Without an input and a power source, it doesn't have any use (data = input, power source = electricity).

Same with the human brain. Input is everything that is taken in by the senses. Power source is the body's chemical energy.

Simply put, thoughts = electrical pulses/bioelectricity in the brain. Kill the brain, you kill the thoughts. Done.

Listen, Cloneone1. Your questions might have an underlying meaning that can be discussed somewhat thoroughly, but you should look at it from the logical/scientific point of view. If it can be solved quickly using logic and by the teachings of science, then it's a stupid question (and Hyde will probably close your thread).

What.
The.
Fuck.

This doesn't have anything to do with the original topic.
It's also considered anatomically impossible, astronomically expensive, and immoral.
