life after death

[Anonymous No.2175044]

something stores your memories, spirit, soul.

what is it?

the survivors or Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not have their memories erased by the EMP.

is it gravity? and if it is, what is the upper limit to length of the storage?

Are you trolling or are you just stupid?

your brain... when it gets flattened... memories go away

[Anonymous No.2175079]

EMP does erase semiconductor memory. Didn't someone prove back in the 1980s that only a semiconductor can store memory? (latch) If so, then the semiconductor form of carbon would be what stores memory if it were stored chemically within the brain. Yet EMP randomizes memory...

physical changes to your brain matter cause loss of memory, consciousness, hallucinations and death of course. Chemical changes (such as drugs) also cause hallucinations and if used enough brain damage. A less developed brain produces a simpler thought proses, compare a 5 year old child to an adult. From these observations i conclude that: that which is responsible for memory, perception and this "soul" thing you refer to is actually the physically alterable and therefore physical brain!

Memory can be held by anthing that can be set to a binary state and read. You can create memory stores out of Lego.

[Anonymous No.2175151]

this could just be a sign that the interface between gravity and the physical or chemical (electron / neuron) control and feedback interface becomes distorted and reduced in capacity.

therefore it is not proof that memory is not stored upon gravity

[Anonymous No.2175167]

gravity = mass (e=mc2).

gravity is a valid component of atoms and molecules

what proves that it isn't the component that constitutes the storage?

[Anonymous No.2175176]

>>2175167
Noting, but lack of proof is not the same as proof.

[Anonymous No.2175194]

what s the range of gravity of a single atom? at least the distance between here and the center of the galaxy. (a radius which can be expressed as a sphere having volume)

strange how people think, given this physically vast storage volume, that the relatively microscopic volume of the mass or matter component is responsible

As long as it is interpreted the same way

[Anonymous No.2175253]

say i want to move my arm

precisely explain how this is possible, how I am able to impose my will upon atoms and electrons and force them to comply with my commands

the precise mechanism is not known, even though the question has been heavily researched for many decades

neurosurgeons still do not understand how it is possible to do that, only that it can be done. the precise mechanism escapes them

is the will stored on energy, matter, or gravity?

if matter, then explain precisely how this matter is able to control the flow of electrons

[Anonymous No.2175269]

since the control mechanism is via electrons, or energy, rather than matter, why would one think that matter physically stores the will?

[Anonymous No.2175276]

>>2175253
how does a computer control the flow of electrons?

and yet an operating computer is returned to a randomized state by EMP

Carbon based life forms are alot more complicated than computers. Natural selection has also guaranteed that they are able to withstand quite a few things. Trying to understand a brain is gonna take forever, almost impossible because itd be hard not to destory the soft thing when looking around. All we know is that they use alot of electricity and are made of different elements, not just metals.

way too many standard deviations here

what is the explanation for this?

this isn't about whether there is a God or not
this is about whether there is life after death.

life after death would not prove the existence of a God.

Read the article dumbshit.
The "mind" is part of the "body".
What you call mind is all explained with science, as being complex processes occuring in your brain. Problem solved.

Did you never take a college Phil course? Are you mentally retarded (engineering major) ?

>what explains the existence of matter?

The existence of matter doens't have to be "explained". There need not be a causal relationship for it's existence.

We know as a fact, that matter often pops into existence out of fucking nothing. It happend all the fucking time, it has been observed and documented countless times. It is fucking trivial. We even know fairly well how to predict that shit. It's all physics!

getting shrill in here for some reason
as if a nerve had been irritated

how many of you have seen lightning in a good thunderstorm flashing with emphasis to the music or to a voice from a radio station? that is physically impossible, for the lightning to be able to do that but yet it does. i have seen it many times: so will you if you pay attention.

You. Get a decent physics book and read it. After you're done, reread it. And again. Don't open your mouth again until you've done that. Seriously - your understanding of science is pathetic.

[Anonymous No.2175797]

you will see it
but you won't understand it

[Anonymous No.2175822]

usually it occurs around age 7 to 12, in childhood

you were in bed alone at night
it was quiet or the wind was blowing and gusting

then it was the wind or the lightning
you were scared shitless
you said it couldn't have read your mind, that it was just coincidence

but on the other hand, it did manage to frighten the living crap out of you

so you decided that it was coincidence and blocked it out

in that moment you erected a defensive wall
which to this day insulates you from any spiritual presence

one day, it will evaporate back into the thin air it came from

[Anonymous No.2175919]

um wat? Have always loved thunderstorms, since I was a kid, and even sometimes nowadays I just sit and watch, clearly, you had some kind of phobia of lightning and are now psychologically damaged.

[Anonymous No.2175938]

not at all
lightning is the spirits, letting you know they are hanging around is all
you have to investigate the possibility and come to your own conclusions, over time
