But anon,

>Earlier this year, another remarkable claim about the afterlife was made by a terminally-ill violinist who survived 17 near-death experiences, and claims to have been to the other side.

>Paul Robertson died of heart disease on July 27, but believed he had seen death plenty of times already before he passed away.

>During one near-death experience, he claimed he was blocked from entering heaven by a group of laughing angels who smelled of aftershave.

>Another vision saw him bathed in the aura of an “Asiatic goddess”, whilst he claims a further supernatural encounter made him believe he was a husky dog bounding through the Arctic.

They're literally making shit up now and passing it off as news. Usually they bundle the bullshit with some small pieces of the truth. How is this allowed?

The things DMT will show you...

Death is still final though, unless they harness this supposed quantum information and make it useful somehow.

Roger Penrose's contribution towards public understanding of physics is probably negative at this point.

Don't know Penrose, but do know that the microtubule system in cells is continuous with microtubules in the fascia, the connective tissue. Some of these have been mapped as being the meridian system which Chinese medicine describes as containing the chi, the information-energy which maintains living beings. So one says the information-energy of the body disperses after death and one says there is quantum information in the same system which is released at death.

nice trips

isn't it funny how it's always the THEORETICAL physicists, just a handful of years away from their expiration dates, are the ones who make these ridiculous sorts of claims, attempting to back them up with "oh but I'm an established physicist!" it's partly hilarious because these old fucks whose shitty theories never came through are grasping at straws to try to fool themselves that their existence was meaningful. it's also partly sad because then their nonsense gets spouted over the media and the image of real science has yet another layer of dogshit smeared over it.

I don't hear about mathematicians, chemists, biologists, or even experimental physicists going this batshit insane. there must be something about theoretical physics that gives people the most insanely inflated ego.

Terror Management Theory is right to be honest. All of culture is primarily about avoiding our own death. Physics made the mistake of suggesting we can't. So it must be "corrected".

Didn't this guy make fairly big contributions to General Relativity?

Also Brian Josephson (Nobel Prize for his work on Josephson junctions) has pretty kooky ideas outside of physics...
