Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told we will die. We associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests that death is not the terminal event we think.

One well-known aspect of quantum physics is that certain observations cannot be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations each with a different probability. One mainstream explanation, the “many-worlds” interpretation, states that each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe (the ‘multiverse’). A new scientific theory – called biocentrism – refines these ideas. There are an infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios. All possible universes exist simultaneously, regardless of what happens in any of them. Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the alive feeling – the ‘Who am I?’- is just a 20-watt fountain of energy operating in the brain. But this energy doesn’t go away at death. One of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies; it can neither be created nor destroyed. But does this energy transcend from one world to the other?
Consider an experiment that was recently published in the journal Science showing that scientists could retroactively change something that had happened in the past. Particles had to decide how to behave when they hit a beam splitter. Later on, the experimenter could turn a second switch on or off. It turns out that what the observer decided at that point, determined what the particle did in the past. Regardless of the choice you, the observer, make, it is you who will experience the outcomes that will result. The linkages between these various histories and universes transcend our ordinary classical ideas of space and time. Think of the 20-watts of energy as simply holo-projecting either this or that result onto a screen. Whether you turn the second beam splitter on or off, it’s still the same battery or agent responsible for the projection.
According to Biocentrism, space and time are not the hard objects we think. Wave your hand through the air – if you take everything away, what’s left? Nothing. The same thing applies for time. You can’t see anything through the bone that surrounds your brain. Everything you see and experience right now is a whirl of information occurring in your mind. Space and time are simply the tools for putting everything together.

why so complicated? Why not simply believe in what the Qur’an tells us?
Energy does die or become unusable; it is called ‘entropy’. One day all the available energy will be finished when a state of equilibrium is reached. There will be no more difference of energy between things, so no more processes will occur.
Indeed this is a proof of Allah’s existence. Because someone beyond the present universe had to have begun the universe and its process of making energy work for us after it had reached an equilibrium and come to an end in its last cycle. For further details read, ‘Rationality, revelation, knowledge and truth’ by KM4 RA.
Also, death could mean the dissipation of the electrical energy contained in the brain, as in numerous other processes. Meaning the energy can turn into heating the surrounding atmosphere.
However if you say the soul lives on, then that is much more plausible because it is an entity that mainly exists beyond our 3-D world and the apparent comprehension of our five senses which form our lives
