So many theories. What I think: the moment you die, you are born again on the same day you were born and live the exact same life over and over again. It would explain feelings of deja vu.
For instance my mom died last year. This year she would be turning 1 again but in some other dimension.

I like to hope it's reincarnation, but none of us know. People who have died for extended periods of time then were brought back have given different accounts.
One of the basic principles of science is that energy can’t be created or destroyed. At death, the energy of the body morphs into another dimension.
Nothing special. That said, your mother is still alive because the past still exists so long as information is preserved. Time is a temporal dimension not so different from the three familiar spatial dimensions and just as the left doesn't stop existing when you move to the right, the past doesn't stop existing when you more to the future.
Have you heard of the Cosmic Microwave Background? Wouldn't be cool if we had a Cosmic Visible Background? Or we do but it hasn't been discovered?
Yes. It's some of the strongest proof of the Big Bang. Before stars and the like were capable of forming, when the universe was much denser and hotter, it was essentially an opaque fog of hydrogen plasma. With expansion the plasma and radiation sufficiently cooled so as that protons and electrons could form neutral hydrogen atoms. These atoms couldn't scatter the thermal radiation, so the universe ultimately became largely transparent. Expansion ultimately stretched the radiation of the very early universe into the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
This is a totally different concept, but in a way we have a visible cosmic background; when we look at galaxies and stars thereof, we're not seeing them as they would actually be today; we're seeing how they appeared when the light from them that only just reached us left them in the first place. If a star is 40 light-years away, we're looking 40 years into the past. In fact, some of the stars we see in the sky don't even exist in the present anymore.
At any rate, while I wouldn't use the phrase "over and over again" so much as I would "still", I view a lifetime as eternally existing so long as nothing can delete that information. So in a way we believe something similar.
So say there are people on a planet 60 light years away from Earth and they have the greatests telescopes in the universe. Theoretically, if they could see all the way down to Earth, they would see my mom as a 9 year old? Despite the fact that I'm living on Earth currently, 60 years later. It is so interesting.
Yep. Exactly like that. And they would also just now be receiving signals from the shows we were broadcasting 60 years ago.
In fact, if in the distant future we precisely placed a type of mirror called a retroreflector many light-years away, we could theoretically aim sufficiently powerful telescopes at it to view the Earth's past from Earth itself!
Those who voted nothing will be in for a rude awakening when they die!!!
I like the idea of going to the past and living the same life, although maybe getting to change some things each time
I believe nothing will happen. I’m waiting for my time to come so I can be proven wrong.
Only when I am dead and gone will ai have my answer.
The neoplatonists believed that, when one died, their soul was ultimately reunited with God, or something like that. Thing is, it wasn't like you were just floating around heaven strumming a harp or some shit, you actually reunited *physically* with God and became a part of him, being a divine spark of him in the imperfect world of physical appearances and shit. In a way, I conceive of death and fading away into the nothingness as being indistinguishable from being swallowed up into whatever kind of egoless existence Greek and early christian philosophers conceived of when they thought that we returned to God after our deaths - we are all swalllowed up into nothingness, and in so doing, we become one, for we lose whatever features have made us distinct from one another in death.
There is actually some evidence for a Heaven and Hell.
This is not tied to any religion or culture as the same evidence exist in people all over the world of all religions and cultures.
A small % of people have near death experiences (or even where the Drs or caretakers think they are technically dead - and they revive and continue living.
Some of these people report that they had a very peaceful experience: Long lost regrinds and family waiting for them, often with reports of a light that they were moving into (or could move towards)... before they were pulled back into their body.
Others become alert with facial expressions of sheer terror and horror, and sometimes statements that reflect that. This group virtually universally repress the memories and assume a more normal facial expression usually in less than a minute.
These reports from all cultures and religions tend to indicate that there is some kind of afterlife waiting for us. That there is some kind of heaven and hell.
Draw your own conclusions from that...
I often imagine that when I'm dead I actually wont realize at first I'm dead and continue on with my normal "life" until slowly I realize somethings strange.
Nobody can know but I think almost any outcome can happen. Some may reincarnate (and most will eventually), some may be ghosts, some may just cease to exist when they have finished everything they should on earth, some maybe go to heaven or hell, but I personally don't believe either of these would be eternal as nobody would deserve either. I don't agree with any religion when I think of it, but they can be right
