Death/Dying

The biggest issue is not knowing. Nobody knows. We all have our own thoughts and ideas about what happens after death, but nobody really knows for sure. That's hugely annoying. It's the same with what created the universe. Sorry Mr Hawkin, I don't buy the whole something can come from nothing argument.

I don't want to die, I want to see where humankind end up. Knowing my luck, scientists will make a major breakthrough the day after I die.

Exactly nobody here knows whether we will be alive again or not.

Like I said we'll find out sooner or later and I'm staying positive till then ;)

And yes science will continue making discoveries, ones in areas that need looking at.
 
I'll be on the express elevator to hell.......going down!

Death is part of life you just have to put it out of your mind, those I leave behind are who I fear for as I won't be around to protect them i.e wife and kids. But I plan on being around I mean jeez I'm only 40.
 
Apologies for the bump but I can't believe that this thread was written last year, I thought it was only a few months ago.... it's been playing on my mind since, and the fact that it was written a year ago also highlights that time/life goes past so quickly.

This is what I wrote last year:
I'm not really scared of it (don't see the point in being scared about it).

However, I've thought about it a lot more since this thread (kinda wish I didn't read it) and I would say that it does bug me now.

To think that one day we won't exist as we do now is rather frightening, isn't it? OK, if there isn't an afterlife it'll just be nothingness but I quite like being alive, I certainly prefer it to the billions of years when I wasn't alive.

:eek:

The nothingness isn't a worry. You wont even know :D

Start to worry when they write "DNR" on your hospital notes....

Why worry about DNR if you won't know?

Isn't it weird though. All of this will be gone. All those efforts to do things/the memories/experiences/whatever...all gone as if you didn't exist. Assuming there is nothing, that is.

I do think there's not much point in thinking about it, because that won't achieve much and actually I try to turn it into a positive thought - that I'm thankful for being alive. But still!

I guess these posts will be here for quite some time. Until the Earth dies or the Internet dies at least.

The is no death! :rolleyes:

You don't ever die you just exist in one form or another. ;)

Its a crazy thing but something inside of me tells me we don't die.

In physics you cannot destroy or create energy only transfer energy.

In quantum mechanics two states can exist at once, miles apart. :confused:

The is no time. :eek:

We just exist as a collection of energetic particles in a universe of the same particles in which we think we exist??? :D

Yeah, I do buy into that a bit, for sure. We really don't know enough about, well, anything really so we shouldn't worry too much.

When having these thoughts I do end up eventually going into a full circle and being positive. I guess it's the unknown element that is mind-boggling.

We'll all find out one day! I mean it is weird when you think about it, what's the point in all of this?

I find the concept of multiverses to be fascinating.

It's a good bump. I believe in a bigger picture, not a person or anything but we are here for some weird reason. We won't know until dead so I don't think about it too much as it's to big to get the brain around, I just try and do my best awhile here, treat people how I'd like to be treated myself.
 
i think being dead will feel the same as before we were born , dread an inability to do the things i love rather than a quick exit
 
I think this is where the simulation thought comes about! ;)

How come the universe is so big we cannot comprehend?

How come we don't know what mavity is?

How come we cannot figure out that if light is a particle or a wave?

How come the speed of light is locked at 186,000 miles per second?<<<<< Maybe the simulation is running on a Pentium 1 and is clocked at 186 MHz. :D
 
Scared of dying? No.

Afraid of who and what I'll leave behind? Yes.

They'll be dead too and in a few generations we'll all be forgotten about, unless someone does something ground-breaking. People are strong, they'll eventually deal with it.

Whereas, in all likelihood, you won't be able to post on here ever again :eek:

I'm not trying to be all doom and gloom, I just feel I need to write these things down. I am hesitant to talk to it to friends and family as I don't want someone to panic or get anxious...

I felt I needed to bump it, glad it's at least been appreciated by one person.

These thoughts do lead onto the larger questions in life, something we we as a species don't talk openly enough about! Too busy caught up in pointless stuff. Perhaps that's intentional?

So many questions, not enough answers!
