Five Reasons You Won’t Die
by Robert Lanza

We’ve been taught we’re just a collection of cells,
and that we die when our bodies wear out.
End of story.I’ve written textbooks showing how cells
can be engineered into virtually all the tissues and
organs of the human body.But a long list of scientific
experiments suggests our belief in death is based on
a false premise, that the world exists independent
of us– the great observer.
Here are five reasons you won’t die.
Reason One.
You’re not an object, you’re a special being.
According to biocentrism, nothing could exist without
consciousness.Remember you can’t see through the bone
surrounding your brain Space and time aren’t objects,
but rather the tools our mind uses to weave everything
together.“It will remain remarkable,” said Eugene Wigner,
who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 “in whatever
way our future concepts may develop,that the very study
of the external world led to the conclusion that the
content of the consciousness is an ultimate reality.
”Consider the uncertainty principle, one of the most
famous and important aspects of quantum mechanics.
Experiments confirm it’s built into the fabric of reality,
but it only makes sense from a biocentric perspective.
If there’s really a world out there with particles just
bouncing around,then we should be able to measure all
their properties.But we can’t.Why should it matter to
a particle what you decide to measure?
Consider the double-slit experiment:if one “watches” a
subatomic particle or a bit of light pass through slits
on a barrier,it behaves like a particle and creates
solid-looking hits behind the individual slits on the
final barrier that measures the impacts.
Like a tiny bullet, it logically passes through one or
the other hole.But if the scientists do not observe the
trajectory of the particle,then it exhibits the behavior
of waves that allow it pass through both holes at the
same time.Why does our observation change what happens?
Answer: Because reality is a process that requires our
consciousness.The two-slit experiment is an example of
quantum effects,but experiments involving Buckyballs and
KHCO3 crystalss how that observer-dependent behavior
extends into the world of ordinary human-scale objects.
In fact, researchers recently showed , that pairs of
ions could be coaxed to entangle so their physical
properties remained bound together even when separated
by large distances,as if there was no space or time
between them.Why? Because space and time aren’t hard,
cold objects.They’re merely tools of our understanding.
Death doesn’t exist in a timeless, spaceless world.
After the death of his old friend, Albert Einstein
said :"Now Besso has departed from this strange world
a little ahead of me.That means nothing.People like us…
know that the distinction between past, present and
future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
In truth, your mind transcends space and time.
Reason Two.
Conservation of energy is a fundamental axiom of science.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy
can’t be created or destroyed.It can only change forms.
Although bodies self-destruct, the “me” feeling is just
a 20-watt cloud of energy in your head.But this energy
doesn’t go away at death.A few years ago scientists
showed they could retroactively change some thing that
happened in the past.Particles had to “decide” how to
behave when they passed a fork in an apparatus.
Later on, the experimenter could flip a switch.The results
showed that what the observer decided at that point
determined how the particle behaved at the fork in the
past.Think of the 20-watts of energy as simply powering
a projector.Whether you flip a switch in an experiment
on or off, it’s still the same battery responsible for
the projection.Like in the two-slit experiment, you
collapse physical reality.At death, this energy doesn’t
just dissipate into the environment as the old mechanical
worldview suggests.It has no reality independent of you.
As Einstein’s esteemed colleague John Wheeler stated
No phenomenon is a real phenomenon until it is an observed
phenomenon.Each person creates their own sphere of reality
– we carry space and time around with us like turtles with
shells.Thus, there is no absolute self-existing matrix in
which energy just dissipates.
Reason Three.
Although we generally reject parallel universes as fiction,
there’s more than a morsel of scientific truth to this genre.
A well–known aspect of quantum physicsis that observations
can’t be predicted absolutely.Instead, there’s a range of
possible observations,each with a different probability.
One mainstream explanation is the‘many–worlds’ interpretation,
which states that each of these possible observations
corresponds to a different universe (the ‘multiverse’).
There are an infinite number of universes (including our
universe),which together comprise all of physical reality.
Everything that can possibly happen occurs in some universe.
Death doesn’t exist in any real sense in these scenarios.
All possible universes exist simultaneously, regardless of
what happens in any of them.Like flipping the switch in the
experiment above, you’re the agent who experiences them.
Reason Four.
You will live on through your children, friends, and all
who you touch during your life,not only as part of them,
but through the histories you collapse with every action
you take.According to quantum physics,”said theoretical
physicists Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow,the past,
like the future,is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum
of possibilities.There’s more uncertainty in bio-physical
systems than anyone ever imagined.Reality isn’t fully
determined until we actually investigate.There are whole
areas of history you determine during your life.When you
interact with someone, you collapse more and more reality
(that is, the spatio-temporal events that define your
consciousness).When you’re gone, your presence will continue
like a ghost puppeteer in the universes of those you know.
Reason Five.
It’s not an accident that you happen to have the fortune of
being alive no won the top of all infinity.Although it could
be a one–in–a–jillion chance, perhaps it’s not just dumb luck,
but rather must be that way. While you’ll eventually exit this
reality, you, the observer,will forever continue to collapse
more and more ‘nows.’Your consciousness will always be in the
present- balanced between the infinite past and the indefinite
future - moving intermittently between realities along the edge
of time, having new adventures and meeting new (and rejoining old)
friends.
