Robert Lanza, a professor at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, said that according to biocentrism theory, death is an illusion created by our consciousness. He claims that after death, a person passes into a parallel world.
The researcher says that human life is like a perennial plant that always returns to bloom again in the multiverse. Everything that we see exists thanks to our consciousness, the scientist believes. Robert Lanza emphasized that people believe in death because they are taught so, or because consciousness associates life with the functioning of internal organs. Lanz believes that death is not the absolute completion of life, but represents a transition to a parallel world.
In physics, there has long been a theory about an infinite number of universes with various variations of situations and people. Everything that can happen is already happening somewhere, which means that death cannot exist in principle.
Back in December 2012, the news spread around the world about the shutdown of the Large Hadron Collider for preventive maintenance. For two years the most complicated experiments in the field of elementary particle physics will not be carried out. But theorists are not going to give up. On the contrary, they intend to continue studying other equally important problems.
These physicists include Robert Lanza, a leading scientist in the field of biocentrism theory, scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology. He put forward the assumption that death is not the final stage in the life of the human body.
Robert Paul Lanza, professor at the Institute of Regenerative Medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, is now 58 years old. He is best known for his research in stem cell research. Lanza was one of the first to clone an endangered animal in 2001, and in 2003 he cloned an endangered wild bull using frozen skin cells from an animal that died at the San Diego Zoo almost a quarter century ago. Author of over 30 books, including: "Embryonic Stem Cells, How to Restore the Vision of a Blind Patient", "The Universe in Your Head".
Biocentrism, a new scientific theory by Robert Lanz, differs from classical biocentrism in that not only the interests of living nature, but also the Universe as a whole, are at the forefront, and man controls this entire system. But he manages not in the usual anthropocentric sense, when a person is free to dispose of natural resources as he pleases, but more in a philosophical one, when a person does not just live in harmony with the world around him, but creates the world by the power of thought alone.
Quantum physics argues that it is absolutely impossible to predict certain events. Instead, there is a wide range of possible development paths with varying degrees of probability of their implementation. From the standpoint of the existence of "many worlds" (Multiverse), it can be argued that each of these possible events corresponds to an event taking place in another universe.

Biocentrism clarifies this idea: there is an infinite number of Universes in which various versions of events occur. Simply put, let's say the following scenario: you get into a taxi and have an accident. In another possible scenario of the event, you suddenly change your mind, do not become a passenger of this ill-fated car and, accordingly, avoid an accident. Thus, you, or rather your second "you", are in another Universe, in a different stream of events. Moreover, all possible spaces exist simultaneously with each other, regardless of what happens in any of them.
Alas, sooner or later the human body dies. However, it is possible that self-awareness persists for some time in the form of electrical impulses passing through neurons in the cerebral cortex. According to Robert Lanz, this feeling does not disappear after death. He bases this statement on the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy never disappears, it cannot be created or destroyed. The professor made the assumption that this energy is able to "flow" from one world to another.
Lanza reviews an experiment that was published in the journal Science. This experiment shows that scientists can influence the behavior of microparticles in the past. This statement is a kind of continuation of experiments proving the theory of quantum superposition. The particles "had to decide" how to behave when the beam splitter hit them. Scientists alternately turned on the beam splitters and could not only guess the behavior of the photons, but also influence the "solution" of these particles. It turns out that the observer himself predetermined the further reaction of the photon. And, consequently, the photon was in two different places at the same time.
Why does observation change what happens? Lanz's answer: "Because reality is a process that requires the participation of our consciousness."
Thus, regardless of the choice, you are both the observer and the one who performs the action itself. The connection between this experiment and everyday life goes beyond our usual classical concepts of space and time, proponents of biocentrism say.
Space and time are not tangible objects, we just think that they really are. Everything you see right now is a whirlwind of information passing through consciousness. Space and time are simply instruments for measuring abstract and concrete things. If so, then death does not exist in a timeless closed world, Robert Lanza is sure.
Albert Einstein wrote about something similar: “Now Besso (an old friend) departed from this strange world a little earlier than me. This means nothing. We … know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a persistent illusion.
Immortality does not mean indefinite existence in time without end, but rather means existence outside of time.
This became clear after the death of my sister Christina. After examining her body at the hospital, I went out to talk to family members. Christine's husband, Ed, began to cry. For a few moments I felt myself overcoming the provincialism of our time. I thought about energy and experiments that show that one microparticle can pass through two holes at the same time. Christina was alive and dead at the same time, she was timeless."
Biocentrists argue that people are asleep at the moment, that everything around them is orderly and predictable. The world around us is a fantasy set in motion by reason. “We were taught that we are just a bunch of cells and die when our bodies wear out. And that's all, - explains Robert Lanza. "But a long list of scientific experiments suggests that our belief in death is based on a false premise that the world exists independently of us - the Great Observer."
In other words, nothing can exist without consciousness: our mind uses all resources to unite space and time into one conscious stream. “No matter how the paths of our future concepts developed, the study of the external world led to the conclusion that the content of consciousness is the ultimate reality,” Eugene Wigner, the 1963 Nobel Prize winner in physics, noted at the time.
So, according to Robert Lanza, physical life is not an accident, but a predestination. And even after death, consciousness will always be in the present, balanced between an endless past and an uncertain future, representing a movement between realities on the edge of time with new adventures, meetings of new and old friends.
