MONOLOGUE WRITTEN BY CLYDE LEWIS

When I met Stephen Hawking 15 years ago, he introduced me to something called Heisenberg’s principle of uncertainty. He mainly wanted to explain to me that we can all be rest assured that if we can imagine it on a quantum level then perhaps it will eventually arrive in this dimension.

After our conversation, I studied and read all I could on this uncertainty principle and realize that it is one of the most famous and probably misunderstood ideas in physics.

It basically tells us that nature can surprise us and so there are times that the best we can hope for is to calculate probabilities for where things are and how they will behave in the future.

Quantum physicists just can’t agree on how to handle the fundamental uncertainty that apparently underpins reality.

Werner Heisenberg was working through the implications of quantum theory; a strange new way of explaining how atoms behaved that had been developed by physicists like Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac and Erwin Schrödinger.

Of course, Schrödinger is famous for giving us his experiment with his immortal cat.

Our everyday experience tells us that we live in a world of certainty, where things have a defined place and causes lead to effects. So how are we to understand a basic theory of reality that says everything is at its root fuzzy and uncertain – where Schrödinger’s cat can be both dead and alive, where objects can be in two places at once, or be in one place and then suddenly pop up in another, or influence each other instantaneously from afar?

We don’t have an answer. All we have are guesses – “interpretations” that attempt to bridge the gulf between what quantum theory predicts and what common sense tells us.

The known universe is both frugal and precise in its application. It appears to use basic structures in multiple applications in order to create itself. Scientists are now interested in the structures of life and how it all applies on a quantum level and how consciousness has become the obstacle that breeds uncertainty. Especially when science is faced with the question of just what happens to consciousness after death.

We many not know exactly what consciousness is.

Is it simply a product of the brain, or if the brain itself is a receiver of consciousness. If consciousness is not a product of the brain, it would mean that our physical bodies are not necessary for its continuation; that awareness can exist outside our bodies.

British physicist Sir Roger Penrose believes that it’s just a packet of information stored at a quantum – or sub-atomic – level. He claims to have found evidence that this information, which is stored in microtubules within human cells, leaves the body after a person dies.

Penrose has argued that when a person dies temporarily, this quantum information is released into the universe, only to return to the body’s cells if the host is brought back to life. He argues that this explains why people can have near-death experiences, and believes that this quantum information amounts to a soul leaving the body. If the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely.

In 2010, one of the most respected scientists in the world, Robert Lanza, published a book titled Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe.

An expert in regenerative medicine and the scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company, Lanza is also very interested in quantum mechanics and astrophysics, an interest that led him on a path to developing his theory of biocentrism: the theory that life and consciousness are fundamental to understanding the nature of our reality, and that consciousness comes prior to the creation of the material universe.

His theory implies that our consciousness does not die with us, but rather moves on, and this suggests that consciousness is not a product of the brain. It is something else entirely, and modern science is only beginning to understand what that might be.

Lanza’s theory implies that if the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle.

So it is intriguing to think that our souls are quantum packets of information that are infinite and that when it attaches to our biological host – it animates it. When the body or the host dies the packet of quantum data still exists like a TV or radio signal – if we have the right equipment or even another biological avatar or component – that quantum packet of data can be resurrected in a new body—in a NEW FORM.
This would also explain ghost activity. If we remove all of the paranormal and supernatural aspects of ghostly encounters, we can surmise that a packet of quantum data.

Testimonials from prominent physics researchers from institutions such as Cambridge University, Princeton University, and the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich claim that quantum mechanics predicts some version of “life after death.” They assert that a person may possess a body-soul duality that is an extension of the wave-particle duality of subatomic particles.

Wave-particle duality, a fundamental concept of quantum mechanics, proposes that elementary particles, such as photons and electrons, possess the properties of both particles and waves. These physicists claim that they can possibly extend this theory to the soul-body dichotomy. If there is a quantum code for all things, living and dead, then there is an existence after death.

There was a film that I saw called, The Discovery. Robert Redford plays a scientist that has proven the existence of life after death.

However, The Discovery is not met with joy or confidence.

In the film, there are no specifics, other than concrete evidence that brainwaves move to a different plane of existence. The public reacts with a drastic spike in suicides, as unhappy people rush to “get there.”

Hitting reset is an understandable impulse and this is probably why whoever created us in their infinite wisdom decided to make death a mystery.

Besides, if we are all just quantum packet data as some physicists suggest, then we are only similar to radio and TV signals that need to be received in order to be appreciated.

If we decide to come back to our bodies, that is our choice – if we decide to hover in the universe that is our choice too.

The concepts of heaven or hell are merely a religious psy-op to keep control of how are data behaves when it is in its biological host.

This would be a whole new form of disclosure.

The disclosure would be that there is scientific proof of an afterlife. On a sub atomic level, consciousness moves on to another plain or another dimension. It is announced that a scientist has found irrefutable evidence that after death, the human spirit goes somewhere; he’s just not sure where.

Now, if this is a scientific discovery, then there would be undeniable proof that would silence any and all dogmatic religious conversation on the matter. In fact, this discovery would destroy faith in a scientific way.

Science would step in and say yes there is life after death and the religious would say we know because religious texts have said so.

Religions have interpreted it in many ways, but the truth is more than inconvenient – it is immobilizing.

Physical death happens – death of consciousness is a different story.

The body is going to eventually die, and the terrifying thing is that yes –when the body dies that is the end of the body. It is lights out for that host.

Now if you believe the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies.

But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a radio receives radio frequency and turns it into music or delivers my radio show then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle.

A broken radio won’t receive radio broadcasts, but the radio broadcasts are all around us right now – the radio is the vehicle that is capable of picking up the data when it works correctly.

A human body is the same thing – it is like a radio and your packet of quantum data is what animates it.

In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. In other words, it is non-local in the same sense that quantum objects are non-local. Lanza also believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. In one universe, the body can be dead.

And in another it continues to exist, absorbing consciousness which migrated into this universe. This means that a dead person while traveling through the same tunnel ends up not in hell or in heaven, but in a similar world he or she once inhabited, but this time alive. And so on, infinitely.

It is quantum immortality where our quantum data leaps from dimension to dimension from host to host – indefinitely.

This hope-instilling, but extremely controversial theory by Lanza has many unwitting supporters, not just mere mortals who want to live forever, but also some well known scientists. These are the physicists and astrophysicists who tend to agree with existence of parallel worlds and who suggest the possibility of multiple universes.

Keep in mind that this is not about religion; it is about science seizing religion and finding proof of what was simply called mythological or unknowable.

Quantum mechanics does not rule out the possibility of an “afterlife” universe or “afterlife” dimension which includes a multiverse, a multidimensional universe or the survival of brain function after death which is quantum immortality.

Nikola Tesla said it best: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena; it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

There’s a reason why every year, internationally recognized scientists continue to push this commonly overlooked topic into the mainstream scientific community. The fact is, matter (protons, electrons, photons, anything that has mass) is not the only reality. If we wish to understand the nature of our reality, we cannot keep examining physical reality while ignoring the fact that the ‘unseen’ makes up most of it.

Perhaps the most imperative question is what is the role of non-physical system, such as consciousness, in relation to physical systems or matter?

More support for the possibility of survival after death comes from the current string theory interpretation of the holographic principle of quantum physics. This principle defines our universe as existing as a hologram where all the quantum information we perceive in three dimensions is stored.

This is where we talk about M-theory; basically, the theory of everything.

Some theoretical physicists have developed M-theory to the point that it can accommodate the properties of all the known subatomic particles and forces, including gravity, but it requires 10 or 11 dimensions instead of our familiar four. This has led to the suggestion that our universe may be like a four-dimensional membrane or “brane” floating in a multi-dimensional space-time called the “bulk.”

A brane is an extended object with any given number of dimensions, of which strings in string theory are examples with one dimension.

The bulk is what surrounds the brane and within the bulk are other dimensions.

I started to theorize that the brane is where we are experiencing this life. The life beyond or the afterlife may be in the other dimensions and that in the bulk are possible kinds of intelligence that have moved out of this dimension to live in other dimensions.

In the “bulk” there could be a bank of quantum data waiting to attach itself to a host.

So for lack of a better word, souls would be out here somewhere – both unborn souls and souls who have left our dimension and are awaiting the moment to move on elsewhere in the multiverse.

So, there is abundance of places or other universes where our soul could migrate after death.

There can also be a duality of data – where you could exist in multiple universes, triggering déjà vu and even Mandela Effect impaired recollection, where you have experienced something in a different timeline and the signals to your host glitch.

In this world there could be a copy of yourself making different decisions and seeing places that somehow later manifest themselves in your dreams. For thousands of years people have wondered about the meaning of dreams. Why do some people dream about future events? Why are some dreams full of hidden meaning? Why are some dreams precognitive – could it be that perhaps a different dimension has an experience that is hidden in your quantum packet?

Some of our dreams can be glimpses of events taking place in an alternate reality, or a Parallel Universe.

But for the moment, we are told that we have four dimensions that we should be concerned with depth, height, width and time.

Beyond that we are forced to try and understand the supernatural by applying the natural with a bit of uncertainty.

Even though Stephen Hawking did not believe in life after death, his work certainly gave us pause to understand that the so-called multiversity good be the safe haven for the quantum data that we call the soul.

Most great physicists and cosmologists are driven by a passion to find that beautiful, simple description of the world that can explain everything. And although we are not quite there yet, we wouldn’t have a chance without the sharp, creative minds of people like Stephen Hawking.
