Death is part of the natural cycle, every living thing or animal dies at some point, but most beings are not aware of their own death.
On the contrary, from a scientific point of view, human beings, an advanced animal with a special structure and extremely complex structure, can understand in advance how they feel before death on both emotional and physiological levels.
Many people feel that after death, people will lose consciousness as soon as possible. But from a scientific point of view, this is wrong.
Most doctors declare death at the time when a person's heart stops beating.
1. Death itself has a specific process.
But in fact, after the heart stops beating, although the blood supply to the brain is cut off, it still takes a long time for the brain to die.
The brain is still functioning for a few hours after the heart has stopped, and it will take hours for the brain to be completely dead.
But objectively, if the heart stops beating, the person will quickly lose consciousness, and this process only takes 20 seconds.
So some scientists have raised a question, in the few hours that the human heart has stopped beating and died, but the brain has not stopped running, is the person still conscious?
This question is indeed a scientific and philosophical question worthy of **.
From a scientific point of view, the human brain is very fragile.
Once the heart stops beating, the brain goes into a state of hypoxia, and most brain cells are damaged within five minutes.
In the process, irreversible damage occurs to the brain.
In general, the brain is completely damaged within 10 minutes, but some cells in the brain can remain active for a long time.
Therefore, some scholars believe that after the heart stops beating and dies medically, during the period when the brain is not completely dead, people may have some basic consciousness, but they cannot think under normal circumstances.
But in an unexpected medical rescue, everyone found a problem.
As I have said before, once the heart stops beating and the brain is ischemia, there will be a large number of brain cells dying due to the lack of oxygen in five minutes.
Therefore, within five minutes after the heart stops, it is known as the first rescue time.
If you can help the patient's heart beat again in five minutes, the patient may be able to be resuscitated.
However, in these five minutes, the patient who is already dying will experience an emotion that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Many scientists have found that people in a near-death state see a lot of things that they would not otherwise see.
Some people even claim that their bodies turned into souls and floated in the sky before they were near, and they were able to see doctors resuscitating themselves.
At the same time, there is a door next to you, and once you enter this door, you will never come back.
This has attracted the attention of many religious scholars, some of whom believe that it can actually prove that heaven and hell are real.
But there are also some scientists who believe that it is nothing more than a mental hallucination that occurred before the experience.
Because before the experience, a large amount of electrochemical energy is released in the brain, and this process of releasing energy is called a brain tsunami.
In the process of continuous propagation, there will be energy loss, but it can still promote pathological and physiological associations in the brain. Keep parts of your brain active.
So from a scientific point of view, the heart stops beating, and consciousness will continue for a while. It's just that during this period of time, whether what humans see is real or hallucinating is still uncertain.
Second, there have been scholars who have been studying the relationship between consciousness and the body.
Now in the academic circles, there are two different and diametrically opposed views on whether people have souls or not.
There are some religious scholars and scientists who believe that people have souls, and the specific conclusion is that someone has put a recently deceased person on a scale to weigh him, and found that he has lost some weight.
Therefore, some scientists believe that the human soul also has weight, although this weight is very light, but this can prove that people have a soul.
And since the advent of cardiac resuscitation technology in the 70s of the last century, there have indeed been many people who have been rescued by doctors in a near-death state.
And these patients who have experienced a near-death state often have some peculiar sense of near-death.
In Europe and the United States, scientists have tested 2,000 test patients, and they found that more than half of them will see heaven and hell.
The rest of the population will look back on their lives during the period of brain death.
At the same time, very few people are clearly aware that they are dead, which makes it impossible to explain what is going on.
Because according to common sense, if a person has hallucinations during the NDE, then not all subjects will hallucinate during the NDE!
This is an incomprehensible mass hallucinatory event, which really does not conform to scientific common sense.
In response to this, a famous foreign scientist named Pania put forward a hypothesis.
He believes that in a state of near-death, a shallow image of human psychology and consciousness emerges in the mind.
For example, there are people who believe in religion and believe in the existence of heaven and hell, and they also believe that they may go to heaven or hell.
Therefore, after death, you will see some of these images reflected in the deep layers of the brain, which is a very natural physiological mechanism.
Moreover, science has proven that brain cells continue to work in the energy they participate in for a period of time after the heart stops beating.
Therefore, at this time, the human body still has some basic perception of the outside world, although it is no longer able to respond, but the perception still exists.
But most patients tend to feel calm and happy when they pass away.
From the point of view of these scientific studies, human consciousness should be attached to the body, and if the body ceases to exist, then consciousness will also die.
This is tantamount to rejecting the assumption that there is no positive connection between the soul and the body as proposed by some religious theologians.
In the eyes of many religious scholars, the spirit continues to live after the physical death. However, from an objective point of view, human beings today do lack reliable scientific means for the relationship between the soul and the body.
There is not even a clear scientific definition of whether or not the soul is conscious and how it arises.
Therefore, for a long time to come, how human consciousness and the body are related will still be an important question for countless scientists and philosophers.
3. Death is not the end of everything.
There are many people who are afraid of death now. The reason these people are afraid of death is that they fear that after they die, everything will perish.
In fact, the fear of death has existed since ancient times, and almost every living human being has a natural fear of death.
No matter how high the person's status, power, or wealth he has, he is no exception.
In ancient China, almost every feudal emperor also had a natural fear of death, which led to the emergence of religious spiritualism.
Many people rely on the fact that after physical death, this set of theories still exists in consciousness to comfort themselves, telling themselves that physical death is just the beginning of everything.
As long as consciousness does not die, then there will be a future.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the emergence of religion itself is that human beings have an objective need for psychological comfort for themselves, and finally gave birth to religion.
However, for modern people, with the continuous development of science and technology, some records in traditional religious doctrines have been gradually overturned, but science cannot solve everything.
Therefore, it will cause human beings to swing back and forth between religion and science, and some people still need religious ideas for psychological comfort.
But the education they received from an early age made them believe in science and know that the description of religion is unrealistic. This kind of tangled thinking has affected the mental health of many people.
Therefore, for modern people, a complete set of world views and values should be established, and the dual views must be normal.
No one should be afraid of death, and all people are equal before death.
What human beings can do is to shine as much as possible in their finite lives.
Because there is no point in fearing death, when death does come, no one will be able to resist it.
And those who are afraid of death should also think clearly that death is not the end of everything.
If this person has made many records in his life that are enough to be remembered in the annals of history, then even if someone else dies, his story and his spirit will be passed on forever.
Even if you can't do such an earth-shattering event with your own ability, then leaving enough spiritual imprints on your relatives and family members is also a way to delay death.
Now, from a philosophical point of view, isn't it said that people have to experience many deaths in their lives?
The first is the disappearance of the body and consciousness, then the social death, and finally the disappearance in the memory of all.
This is why the Chinese attach great importance to the sacrifice and inheritance of their ancestors, because after their death, there will always be descendants who inherit the incense to worship themselves.
This is another level of immortality.
Epilogue. Death is part of the natural cycle, and no living thing is immune to death.
Even those creatures that are known for their longevity, such as turtles, are going to enter the natural cycle sooner or later, which is quite normal.
Humans on Earth already enjoy a life that is difficult for other animals and plants to enjoy, so we should not be afraid of death.
After death really comes, it is only right to enter the natural cycle with a calm mind.
