Consciousness cannot be physically seen or measured currently, but we can infer its existence. One experiment was carried out on people as they died and it was shown they lost a very small amount of weight at the time of death. Later Einstein showed that light is made of individual particles called photons. Young asserted that light was a wave that traveled at 182,000 miles per second. The experiments proved them both correct.
Light is a wave and a particle.
Likewise, consciousness is a wave of energy and contains particles. We can safely say that consciousness survives, but what we cannot say at this point is how it survives. It is the ultimate question for all religions and philosophies. For now science has no answers of its own. All rights reserved.
