Robert Lanza claims the theory of
biocentrism says death is an illusion
He said life creates the universe, and not the other way round
This means space and time don't exist in the linear fashion we think
it does
He uses the famous double-split experiment to illustrate his point
And if space and time aren't linear, then death can't exist in 'any
real sense' either
Most scientists would
probably say that the concept of an afterlife is either nonsense, or
at the very least improvable.
Yet one expert claims he
has evidence to confirm an existence beyond the grave - and it lies
in quantum physics.
Professor
Robert Lanza claims the theory of biocentrism teaches that death
as we know it is an illusion created by our consciousness.
Professor Robert
Lanza claims the theory of biocentrism
teaches death as
we know it is an illusion.
He believes our
consciousness creates the universe, and not the other way round,
and once we
accept that space and time are 'tools of our minds',
death can't exist
in 'any real sense' either
Professor Robert
Lanza's, pictured,
theory is
explained in his book
Biocentrism: How
Life and Consciousness
are the Keys to Understanding the True
Nature of the Universe
'We think life is just the activity
of carbon and an admixture of molecules - we live a while and
then rot into the ground,' said the scientist on his
website.
Lanza, from Wake Forest University
School of Medicine in North Carolina, continued that as humans we
believe in death because 'we've been taught we die', or more
specifically, our consciousness associates life with bodies and we
know that bodies die.
His theory of biocentrism, however,
explains that death may not be as terminal as we think it is.
Biocentrism is classed as,
the Theory of Everything and comes
from the Greek for 'life centre'...
It is the believe that life and biology
are central to reality and that life creates the universe, not the
other way round.
This suggests a person's consciousness
determines the shape and size of objects in the universe.
Lanza uses the example of the way we
perceive the world around us. A person sees a blue sky, and is told
that the color they are seeing is blue, but the cells in a person's
brain could be changed to make the sky look green or red.
LANZA'S THEORY OF
BIOCENTRISM AND THE AFTERLIFE
Biocentrism is classed as the
Theory of Everything and comes from the Greek for 'life
centre'. It is the belief that life and biology are central
to reality and that life creates the universe, not the other
way round.
Lanza uses the example of the
way we perceive the world around us.
A person sees a blue sky, and is
told that the color they are seeing is blue, but the cells
in a person's brain could be changed to make the sky look
green or red.
Our consciousness makes sense of
the world, and can be altered to change this interpretation.
By looking at the universe from
a biocentric's point of view, this also means space and time
don't behave in the hard and fast ways our consciousness
tell us it does.
In summary, space and time are
'simply tools of our mind.'
Once this theory about space and
time being mental constructs is accepted, it means death and
the idea of immortality exist in a world without spatial or
linear boundaries.
Theoretical physicists believe
that there is infinite number of universes with different
variations of people, and situations taking place,
simultaneously.
Lanza added that everything
which can possibly happen is occurring at some point across
these multiverses and this
means death can't exist in 'any real sense' either.
Lanza, instead, said that when
we die our life becomes a,
'perennial flower that
returns to bloom in the multiverse.'
'Bottom line: What you see
could not be present without your consciousness,'
explained Lanza. 'Our consciousness makes sense of the
world.'
By looking at the universe from a
biocentric's point of view, this also means space and time don't
behave in the hard and fast ways our consciousness tell us it does.
In summary, space and time are 'simply tools of our mind.'
Once this theory about space and time
being mental constructs is accepted, it means death and the idea of
immortality exist in a world without spatial or linear boundaries.
Similarly, theoretical physicists
believe there is infinite number of universes with different
variations of people, and situations, taking place simultaneously.
Lanza cites the
double-slit test, pictured, to backup his claims.
When scientists
watch a particle pass through two slits,
the particle goes
through one slit or the other.
If a person
doesn't watch it, it acts like a wave and can go through both
slits simultaneously.
This means its
behavior changes based on a person's perception
Lanza cited the famous double-slit
experiment to backup his claims.
HOW THE DOUBLE-SLIT EXPERIMENT SUPPORTS
LANZA'S THEORY
In the experiment, when
scientists watch a particle pass through two slits in a
barrier, the particle behaves like a bullet and goes
through one slit or the other.
Yet if a person doesn't
watch the particle, it acts like a wave. This means it
can go through both slits at the same time.
This demonstrates that
matter and energy can display characteristics of both
waves and particles, and that the behavior of the
particle changes based on a person's perception and
consciousness.
He continued:
'Life is an adventure that
transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. When we die, we
do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the
inescapable-life-matrix.'
Lanza's full theory is explained in his
book
