This is a subject that many people believe to be quite controversial! While many religions and beliefs hold to the idea that human consciousness would be able to stay alive after we passed away, a professor of physics and cosmology at the California Institute of Technology - who doesn't seem to be concerned about the reactions of people convinced there is life. after death, yes! He said that according to the laws of physics, it is simply impossible for that to happen. And period!

History end?

According to Sean Martin of Express, the professor, a guy (with a doctorate and stuff) named Sean Carroll, explained that the physics readings that apply to all aspects of human life are already fully understood by science. He said, in order for a "postmortem" to exist, human consciousness must be something completely separate from the physical body - something it is not.

From the scientific point of view, at its most basic level, human consciousness is nothing more than a series of atoms and electrons that make up our mind. The problem is that according to the laws of physics as we know it, it is impossible for all the information we accumulate and store in our brains throughout our lives to remain "available" in any way after we die.

This is because our bodies - and our mind - are fundamentally, as we mentioned, made up of particles, and once we die and our bodies begin to decompose, our memories follow the same process. The reason for this, according to Carroll, is that the laws governing the universe do not allow these particles to continue to function after our death.

Theoretical basis

More specifically, according to Sean, the professor based his claims on the Quantum Field Theory - which basically deals with studying the behavior of the particles that make up the matter that in turn forms the universe around us. This theory unites quantum mechanics and relativity so that it is possible to study particle physics (such as atoms and electrons) and matter physics (such as our physical body), so Carroll did not draw your top hat claims.

As he explained, all photons in the universe are at a certain level, just as all electrons are in their specific field. The same is true of all other known particles. Thus, according to Carroll, if life continued somehow after death, quantum level testing would have revealed some kind of "spiritual" force or particle.

However, following the Standard Particle Physics Model, the only things that experiments conducted so far have detected are the atoms and particles predicted by the standard model. For afterlife to be proved, according to Carroll, it would be necessary to develop a new model and observe the interaction between the particles we know with the particles and "spiritual" forces. The teacher's statements may have a scientific basis, but they will bother a lot of people, they will, don't you agree? By the way, what do you think?
