A British scientist Dr Sam Parnia, studying heart attack patients says he is finding evidence that suggests that consciousness may continue after the brain has stopped functioning and a patient is clinically dead. The research, presented to scientists last week at the California Institute of Technology, resurrects the debate over whether there is life after death and whether there is such a thing as the human soul. |

As the human (or any) body is essentially a mass of electrical impulses and energy - something's got to happen to that stored energy when a body dies! |

I remember my mother telling me of what she "saw" when she was very ill in hospital once. She had been in great pain and "suddenly the pain was gone and ... " she told her story. She found out afterwards that she had officially "died" and regained consciousness to find a whole crowd of people around her bed resuscitating her and the pain back as well. |

One of the most fundamental concepts of science is energy. A body in motion possesses kinetic energy as a result of the work done by the forces creating the motion. But a force which does work to stretch a spring, for example, does not create motion. Instead, the work is stored up in the spring and is an example of potential energy. A lifted body also possesses potential energy which turns into kinetic energy when the raised object falls. The heat energy contained in a body is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the constituent atoms which are vibrating all the time. Heat and motion are obtainable from electrical, magnetic, chemical, atomic, nuclear and other sources and scientists therefore define corresponding forms of energy. The vital point is that all forms of energy are transferable into one another without loss or gain and cannot be lost or destroyed. This is one of the most fundamental laws of science. Since Einstein, it has also been recognised that mass is interchangeable with energy. Einstein's theory (e=mc²) proved that energy is interchangeable with mass. Neither mass nor energy can be destroyed, only chand to a different form |
