The question of life after death has many answers ranging from spiritual and religious experiences to absolutely nothing.
However, one physicist believes that our consciousness leaves our bodies and rejoins the universe. Exactly what consciousness is remains a mystery to scientists, with researchers struggling to pin down exactly what it is. According to some well-respected scientists, quantum mechanics allows consciousness to live on following the body’s eventual demise.
Dr Robert Lanza coined the phrase ‘biocentrism’ which is a theory that the consciousness is released into the universe through sub-atomic particles after death. One physicist and mathematician believes our consciousness, or soul, reconnects with the “greater infinite identity” after death.
Former University of Oxford professor Peter Russell, author of The Global Brain, told Conscious Lifestyle Mag: “It would seem that one way of understanding it is that the individual consciousness is dissolving back into the infinite consciousness.
“The consciousness that I experience has this individual limitation because it is functioning in the world through my body, through my nervous system, through my eyes and ears.

“That’s where our sense of being a unique individual comes from. When we begin to die and let go of our attachment to the body, consciousness lets go of that identity which it gained from its worldly functioning, and reconnects with a greater infinite identity.
“Those who’ve had near-death experiences often report there seems to be this dissolving of the senses, and a moving into light.
“Everything becomes light after death.”
Researchers from the renowned Max Planck Institute for physics in Munich agree and state that the physical universe that we live in is only our perception and once our physical bodies die, there is an infinite beyond.

Dr Hans-Peter Durr, former head of the Max Planck Institute for Physics, previously said: "What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible.
“The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger.
“Which this world is rooted in. In this way, our lives in this plane of existence are encompassed, surrounded, by the afterworld already.
"The body dies but the spiritual quantum field continues.
“In this way, I am immortal.”
