Does death exist? A new theory says no. Many of us fear death; we believe in death because we've 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's 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 self-destruct, the "alive" feeling—the "Who am I?"—is just

twenty watts of energy 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 a recent experiment showing that scientists could change something that 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 retroactively determined what the particle did. 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 ideas of space and time. Think

of the twenty watts of energy as simply a hologram 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. Everything you see and experience right

now is a world of information occurring in your mind. Space and time are simply the tools for putting

everything together. Death doesn't exist in a timeless world. After the death of his old friend, even Einstein admitted, 'Now Besso is 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, her husband, Ed, started to sob

uncontrollably. I thought about the experiments that show a single particle can pass through two holes at the same

time. I couldn't dismiss the conclusion: Christine was both alive and dead, outside of time. Christine 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 of a previously scheduled card game. My mother also couldn't make the wedding due to an

important engagement she had at the Oaks 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 just bought when their car hit a patch of

black ice. She was thrown from the car and landed in a bank of snow. Ed 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 in the 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. Read more: Biocentrism; Beyond

Does Death Exist?  New Theory Says 'No'

Introduction to Biocentrism and the Concept of Death

Fear of death stems from societal conditioning and the association of self with the physical body.

Biocentrism proposes that death isn't the final event; it challenges the traditional understanding of death.

Quantum physics' probabilistic nature and the many-worlds interpretation are foundational to biocentrism.

Biocentrism suggests an infinite number of universes where all possibilities occur, rendering death insignificant.

Consciousness, represented by brain energy, is not extinguished upon death, as energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Scientific Evidence Supporting Biocentrism

Experiments demonstrate the ability to retroactively influence past events, suggesting a non-linear relationship between time and observation.

The observer's choices determine experienced outcomes, implying a connection between different universes and histories.

The analogy of a hologram projecting different outcomes onto a screen illustrates the concept of multiple possibilities.

Biocentrism posits that space and time are mental constructs, not absolute realities.

Personal Anecdotes and Philosophical Implications

Einstein's perspective on death and the illusion of time's linearity supports biocentrism's view.

Immortality is defined not as endless existence in time, but as existence outside of time.

The narrator's sister's death is used to illustrate the concept of simultaneous existence in multiple states (alive and dead).

The narrator reflects on the limitations of grief and the insignificance of individual experiences in the grand scheme of biocentrism.

The 20 watts of energy (consciousness) experiences all possible outcomes, regardless of the physical events.
