What happens to life after death?
490893
there is a lot of researches going on about this topic "life after death".people have different beliefs but one can know what really happens only if one dies!its a mystery again and no one can tell exactly what happens.biologically,death happens when the body functions stops due to any reason for that matter and then there is no life in the person who is dead.just gone forever.it need not be necessary that he/she has to go somewhere (hell or heaven) after dead.people create myths like these:if u do good deed during the course of your life,u will reach the heaven(the place of God) and would be treated well,and if u do evil things , u will reach the hell where the devil would torture u etc.....all these myths are created only to make people do good things and be good.but i think there is no such thing as life after death.i believe in science so lets see what science has to say about this in the coming future...........

My religion has an idea about what happens after death, but it's a little different from others.\nWhen I die, the components of my body are supposed to go back into nature via the natural processes. I am not supposed to be cremated or embalmed or sealed into an impermeable casket. I am to be buried in dirt in the simplest possible wooden box, so that the earth can re-claim the material that has made up my formerly-living body.\nI will not remain aware of myself as a human. I may experience some molecular "memory" as I am assimilated into various other organisms.\nIf I leave a child behind when I go, my genetic material continues to live. If I leave recorded art or literature, a part of my mind continues to live. If someone loves me while I'm alive and remembers me fodly after I die, then a part of my emotion survives.\nThat's about it. I don't need more than that.

When you die, your brain ceases to function. All of the tiny electric currents that jumped from one brain synapse to another while you were alive slow to a stop. Your body no longer functions and your brain activity soon stops completely. \n\nAt that point, the person that we knew as You is gone. \n\nBecause your body cannot be revived, your personality can never be recreated or resurrected along with the memories and other details about your life. \n\nYou have no thoughts, no pain, and no awareness of your existence. \n\nYour family and friends see the empty shell of your body, but You are not really there. You are gone forever, like millions of others who died before you. \n\nYour dreams, your loves and your hopes - gone. All that is left of you is a box of possessions you owned while you were alive and the memories that your living friends and family have of you. Your body is all that is physically left of you. It may have been buried, cremated, or donated for scientific study. If you were rich and philanthropic, a building or a charitable foundation may still bear your name. Otherwise, you may have a gravestone at a cemetery. Or nothing at all. \n\nYou do not miss your loved ones. They think of you and imagine that you are still with them, but you do not stand invisible, watching them from a distance. \n\nYou simply cease to be.

Ok your question makes no sense, but is interesting. There is more to life after death than a "hereafter." There's a heaven and hell, and yes, both are real.\nI'm sorry for you that you don't believe in the God I know. I don't worry about my life because I know I'm taken care of.

Some believe in heaven or hell, some it's reincarnation, some stick around on earth for various reasons.  My opinion is when you die you are gone.

Are you seriously expecting that there are people here in Yahoo Answers (or here on Planet Earth for that matter) who KNOW what happens after death? No one knows what happens after you die. People who pretend to know are either charlatans or fools.

Death is just a part of life.  you have to learn how to deal with it. i'm not afraid of dieing.\n\nI would say life is a series of events, with different emotions and experiances, try to have kids, survive, and die. everyone dies, think of all the living things that have died on this planet sents life began on it. try and hade a good happy life, or a sad evil life. choose your own religion, or not. \n\nMany things can happen to your body after death, rot, mummify, be petrified. I believe that if there is a soul that it is only energy and it is released into the surrounding elements. You make your own hell or heaven here and now. You might be brought back to life through future genetic research, but you would be totally different because of your surroundings.

"Yup. There is nothing after death. It is just like switching off a light bulb."\n\nbut on the other hand the electrical circuitry and infrastructure that powered the light bulb is still there even when the bulb (earthly body) burns out . Bung a new bulb in and who knows?\n\nI'm inclined to believe that when this earthly body burns out the power that motivated it is still there - it's either latent or seeking for a new form.  The "light bulb" is just the external manifestation of thousands of miles of hidden cable, switches, relays, et c, and just because the bublb goes it doesn't negate the existence of all this stuff....

Life after death is no longer a life.\nLiving would mean meeting your maker, no 'body' to protect or shield you, imagine your eyes able to see at all angles, no voices from the mouth but the heart. No languages, no hunger to feed. Only the rest of the universe with One God.

After you die the brain live for about 7 minutes. \n\nI have heard that these 7 minutes hold the answer to the question, "what is heaven". I believe in this 7 minute unconscious stupor, you dream. And as everyone knows, time passes at a different rate when you dream. So in these 7 minutes you could be in a dream which is perceived as endless. And in this endless dream you re-live your life and dream of a heavenly place. The body can not perceive the difference between dream states and conscious states, and basically reacts the same to both. So in reality you really do go to heaven, and never wake up. But this is conditional of course on how you lived your life. If you die with a guilty conscious, your last dream will be a direct result of the way you lived. For instance you may have a nightmare after you eat late at night, just as you may go to hell in your last eternal dream if you let a miserable existence. I think religious figureheads caught onto this concept early on and have capitalized on it since.\n\nPlease e-mail me to discuss jodiamon@syr.edu or visit my blog which discusses this subject to death at http://krunkbox.blogspot.com/

Your heart stops beating. Your synapses slow their firing until you are brain dead and no electrical current is flowing through the nervous system. Your body will generally expel any waste matter (air, urine, feces) being held. Sometime around this time, you will either discover that there is an afterlife of some sort, or you will blink into nothingness, with absolutely no consciousness to be aware of the fact that there is no afterlife. The body will begin the approach to rigor mortise. And bacteria will begin decomposing the body. Years and years later, only ash (and perhaps fossilized bones) will be left of your body. If there is an afterlife, you will never be able to tell anyone. If there isn't, you will never be able to tell anyone. Those who say they know the truth about the afterlife, either way, are not intellectually honest. Which is why this question will continue to evoke philosophical debate ad infinitum.

This depends entirely on your system of belief.  We all wish we knew what happened when we die.  It is hard to believe that we will just be no more.  Mostly this is because that is the worst possible thing that could happen, to simply not exist.  Many people fantasize about elaborate afterlives because they are scared of this, or have been brought up to believe that.  It all depends on what your spirit now tells you.  The only way to find out is to die.  That is something that we all want to put off as long as possible, just in case.

Nobody knows what happens to us when we die, or this concept of hell or heaven. Well by catholic mythology, i think as long as you live a good life, christian or not, youll go to heaven, or spend a few years in purgatory at the most, because comon, then over half of the world would be going to hell. Heaven would be like some deluxe snob club where only a few members were allowed in.\n\nBut realistically our concept of heaven and hell has grown out of control, its turned into a huge bribe, but hey i guess it works a lot of the time. The jews (the religion christianty evoloved out of) didnt have a strict conept of heaven or hell, they knew to live life good, and that god would punish them in life for unfaithfulness and sometimes the punishment would carry over to those that were close to them. They had some slight concept of bliss and punishment in the afterlife but it didnt consume all the time and thought as it does in christianity. Actually it sounds like it was tampered with somewhat by rulers and writers.\n\nI dont think jesus wants us to suffer, if anything i think hed give us a redo, in a soemwhat reincarntional concept., then again if jesus did exist and was god's son.\n\ndont worry about it so much and just try to live a good life by the golden rule.\n\ndont take naything form the bible literally, most of its to be taken out of context into your own consideration and recieve a message and apply it to your own life.
