Key points Argues, through three thought experiments and theoretical reasoning, that current neuroscience, physics, and psychology cannot explain consciousness or rule out an afterlife, and proposes that the probability of a continuum of consciousness or life after death should be considered, while noting that more studies are needed to understand the proposed mechanism.

Abstract

To date, no scientific study has found reliable evidence of an afterlife; the mechanism of consciousness is two of the most challenging questions. Here, I show the hypotheses for consciousness and the probability of an afterlife through three simple thought experiments and theoretical evidence. I demonstrate the problems of consciousness, intelligence, and the relationship of the brain with remaining neuroscience, physics, and psychology; and why new physics and psychology are needed to fulfill the research objectives. Furthermore, I discuss how and why I suggest the probability of a continuum of consciousness or life after death. Findings show no alternatives other than the afterlife is challenging. In other words, I did not find different ways to discuss the results of those experiments, yet: more studies are needed to understand the new theory's mechanism precisely. Here, how and why new findings might help to evolve well-being and make a better world.
