I had a dream last night. It was about an invention I created, more of a portable time machine that allowed me to go to the very day of my death, to experience post death, and return back to the present after to report my findings on "after life". - if any.
I woke up trying to crack my head, thinking nah, thats never going to be possible. Even just theoratically. Where do we start on the science ? In what dimension ? Is it a feasible ? What parameters ? What's my hypothesis ?
So just for fun, lets design our own experiment and come out with crazy or with scientific evidence in a standard puplished paper format. Make it as funny as possible. E.g...
Abstract
There are many different versions of the afterlife - reincarnation, eternal life in heaven/hell, state of nirvana ..etc. In the study, we hypothesize that we still experience "nothing" after death. ergo, if we die, we are f@#king dead. (using a portable time machine to report life after death).
Introduction
What happens when we die? Does it all end there? Religion has thought us different revelations about the eternal life after passing through this temporal material world. No scientific experiment has been done to prove ghosts, evil spirits, ergo life after death.
Methods - subjects/protocol
One pathetic male (me) who has nothing better to do then to have such bizzare dreams. He is a "sane" - hopefully, being, age 27, very curious about science and religion, is single by the way, erhmm... The participant is to travel through time till his death day, experience death and hopefully, if the device is still with him, travel back to the present to report his findings.
Results/Discussion
Travelled to the age of 50. Died while having sex with Britney Spears. Its was kind of dark, couldn't see much. No bright lights to the sky, no pearly gates, no welcome drink, expected to join Richard Dawkins in hell but in vain, it was just still, couldn't feel, couldn't see. (well if I had no tactile sensation, I wouldn't be able to operate my time machine) - anyway, lets just say I got back to report my findings.
Conclusion
Future research is required to report life after death. There is no evidence of a supernatural being there to pat me on the back. "For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." Carl Sagan
