Today each of us is busy with his own pressing problems - study, work, science, politics, family creation and other routine matters. And none of us thinks about the fact that in the bustle of problems each of us, even in his own way, makes history. Because it is precisely with such everyday worries, whether we like it or not, we are building the road into the unknown, each in his own way, each one stone at a time, but we are building. At the same time, no one thinks about what awaits us in the future, what next?
Open any explanatory dictionary of the Russian language, find the word "future" and try to understand what it is: the explanation of this concept will either be very brief, or there will be no explanation at all. It turns out that there is no one to explain to us, simple sinners, what awaits us ahead, is not everything we do in vain, do we always keep up with progress?
What will a person be like in ten years? In half a century? A hundred years? Millenniums? What will he be, the man of the future? Will "Homo sapiens" survive as a species at all?
Human civilization values reason most of all. Proud of the conquests of their minds, people imagined themselves to be the masters of the universe, while losing their closeness to Mother Nature. People ceased to understand the world around them.
For Einstein, technological progress is like an ax in the hands of a criminal. The ecological crisis has developed so deeply that nature is no longer able to restore the disturbed balance disturbed by man.
A person usually does not have the courage to touch on the topic of immortality, even in the form of a prediction, unless science fiction writers usually do this.
What will be the cause of death in a hundred years? This question is directly related to the revolution that is taking place in the biotechnology sciences. For example, the head of the international research project HGP - The Human Genome Project believes that in the next century, thanks to the development of regenerative medicine, the human body will already be able to exist for a long time. Such deadly diseases today as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and others, will remain only in distant memories.
Many people believe that mortality is the main problem of humanity. And the human brain is so developed today that it is already capable of introspection. Scientists are sure that the cellular material - the "building" material of which the human body is built, must wear out, and, despite the success in the treatment of cancer and heart disease, a person will never live more than one hundred and twenty years. However, there are some scientists who speak from the point of view of biotechnology: medicine can expand the boundaries of today's life.

According to scientists' forecasts, in the interval between 2050 and 2100, medicine will be developed so much that people will be able to receive a certain amount of their mother cells every ten years, which will be able to restore various human organs.
And what will happen to the human soul, to the human mind, when a person dies? Even if in the future this death occurs in a hundred years, two hundred.
The soul is an invisible "organ" of the human body. Different nations place their souls everywhere - in the heels, in the head, in the liver, in the stomach … It exists in every living organism, even in plants and animals. The soul has the ability to "hurt", it turns out to be low or generous, it is wide open, there is not a penny behind it, it is not considered in the most beloved. And at the very end - the final segment of her life's journey - she is given to God.
A person never realizes how often he utters this truly amazing word "soul". But what does it mean? Or maybe this is vital invisible energy or our consciousness? And if this is some kind of material substance that can even be weighed - after all, recently many scientists have been trying to prove this - bioenergy, physicians, physicists?
No one doubts that the soul exists. The ancient Egyptians, who believed in reincarnation, Buddhists who called for the renunciation of the earthly, and Christians who believed in the holy spirit already knew about this. And since the soul was inextricably linked with religion, militant materialists since the beginning of the twentieth century tried to completely erase its existence, but today's science, its deep scientific research in the field of subatomic particles and consciousness has proved that the universe is not only a material manifestation.
So what happens to the soul after a person's death?
In the late 90s of the last century, the whole world was captured by the sensational news about the scientific proof that the soul is material. Layel Watson in one of the American laboratories carried out a very strange study: he weighed the dying on very precise scales, designed according to a special drawing. However, the most interesting thing was that after death, the human body immediately became lighter by several grams - from 2.5 to 6.5. Our compatriot, Mstislav Miroshnikov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, conducted the same experiments.
According to Andrey Gnezdilov, chairman of the Association of Russian Oncological Psychologists, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Honorary Doctor of the University of Essex, the state of death is recorded when the work of the brain and heart stops. However, in his opinion, death is not the destruction of the human person, not the end. This is a change in the state of human consciousness after the end of man's earthly existence.
The fact that the human body is not his property, but just a shell, is proved by the stories of many people who have been in a state of clinical death. However, few believe this, considering them hallucinations.
In 1973, the NASA laboratory received a message from the Skylab spacecraft that shocked everyone. Astronauts reported in horror that they saw "hell located in the deepest part of the sun." However, later NASA began to deny reports about this unexpected incident, but the scientific journal "World Science" still managed to find out the truth, which the American government so carefully concealed.
It turns out that astronauts who studied gel flares on the Sun witnessed a huge explosion, when a column of helium suddenly burst out from the depths of the star, the height of the column was quite impressive. Everything that happened, like the previous studies, was recorded on the spectroheliograph film. And suddenly the astronauts saw something that made them remember this for the rest of their lives: for some time - a little more than a minute - millions of human faces were displayed on the surface of the helium column, on which the terrible torment experienced from torture by fire was captured … The first reaction of the astronauts was disbelief in what was happening, however, these faces were visible so clearly, they were so clearly filmed that there was no doubt: it was Hell …
There is another interesting fact. Many experts independent of NASA claim that there is a person who has been to paradise. His name is Charles Ginson.
In 1991, the capsule of the American aircraft with the astronaut Ginson, which was launched on this vehicle into space in 1963, fell into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and was recorded by instruments. For 28 years nothing was known about him, he was considered missing. Nothing is known about how he returned back. NASA does not provide any official version. Ginson himself is physically absolutely healthy, but mentally not entirely normal and disoriented in time. Experts believe that Ginson's safe return to earth means only one thing: he was in heaven, and not in hell and not in the hands of aliens.
What survives after a person's death?
There is ample evidence that the mind, like the soul, survives. However, is it really so? And what is intelligence, what is its nature?
Materialists who believe that the Universe consists of matter, i.e. from lifeless atoms, they believe that the human mind, namely man, is an intelligent being, in the course of some hitherto unknown process arises from the brain, more specifically, from its matter. And from this it follows that the mind must die at the moment when the human brain ceases to exist, i.e. the person will die.
Another, no less prosaic explanation is as follows: if the mind and soul survived after death, then many people, whose life in this world does not quite suit them, would seek their "happiness" elsewhere.
However, how then to explain the fact that many of those who have once lost a loved one, very often talk that they communicated with them. The famous English mystic and poet William Blake illustrated his poems with engravings, which he also made himself. However, the process of engraving at that time was very expensive, and Blake's search for a cheaper replacement for engraving did not lead to anything. However, once in a dream, his brother, who died at the age of twenty, appeared to Blake and told him about the art of lithography. As a result, Blake turned from a beggar poet into a wealthy man, tk. this discovery was a sensation in the history of engraving.
Thanks to the developing by leaps and bounds of genetic engineering, it became possible to grow the organs of the human body, from which it follows that at the end of the tunnel, finally, a phantom of immortality appeared. And what remains with a person in his immortality - soul or mind, must be decided by the person himself.
And will the man of the future be similar to the present “Homo sapiens”, or can he turn into “Nano sapiens”, created as a result of the development of nanotechnology in the image and likeness of a robot that has neither soul nor mind.
