Existence After Death

Thought and memory are just electro-chemical impulses (with some quantum effects thrown in for good measure): when the power supply is disrupted the solid state storage medium (our brain) is fundementally altered.The state of all the fields that make up your brain and collection of processess that manifest as consciousness are disrupted and cannot be recovered.With nothing to maintain the physical process i.e. the brain all the processess that make up our personality stops.Like smashing a hard drive with magnets. It can't do what it used to do.A bit bleak but there you go.

There was a story on a topical new program in the 90s (The Day Today) about an experiment looking into the existence of souls that seemed pretty valid, reliable and generalisable to the wider human population.It was performed on a small sample of mice who were starved for several days.They were fired at a wall by a special gun (unfortunately killing them in the process).On a shelf 37.5 cm higher than the impact point of the mouses head were 12.5 grams of cheese.If the mice had a soul they would be hungry and as they floated up to heaven they would try to eat the cheese.A special camera that can detect souls was set up to record any evidence of the mouses souls trying to eat the cheese.I never found out what the results were.

That's what the special gun is for and the camera could only detect normal mouse souls (I think that's what the program said), not flying mouse souls.Edited by Larni, : Mice can't fly!!

Hi Dyluck, didn't you kill yourself, forcing Thanatos to revert to a skeletal lich form?Edited by Larni, : Hilarious joke!

It's what got me into the emu scene.Back when I was in uni I played that game to death on the snes; the music was sublime.To quote use the peek button to view the db codes.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

You do know that the mouse experiment was not real and that I posted it as humour, don't you?

That's not a quote from Andrew Ryan is it?
