People who have experienced clinical death say that they felt a sense of bliss and tranquility, saw the glow at the end of the tunnel … Such testimonies gave rise to thousands of publications claiming that after death, paradise awaits us. On the other hand, there is no less evidence that horror, darkness and despair await us after death.
During a complex operation, German actor Kurt Jurgens experienced clinical death. Later, he said that the ceiling in the operating room turned fiery red and a fiery rain poured from it. Nasty faces looked at him. Jurgens is sure he has been to hell.
What is hell?
Most religious scriptures say that this is the place where a person expiates sins in suffering. It is interesting that different peoples of our planet have very similar ideas about the afterlife. And before going to heaven or hell, the soul is brought to justice. Different peoples and religions have their own characteristics, but it is still striking in similarities.
The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul is brought to justice in the "Hall of Truth", where the god Anubis weighs the good and bad deeds of the dead on the scales. And depending on the result, the soul receives either eternal bliss, or it will be devoured by an evil monster. The ancient Greeks believed that after the trial, the deceased goes to the Champs Elysees to the souls of the righteous or to the terrible dungeon of the god Hades.
Hindus have hell - gigantic flaming pits, where sinners "cook", and demons pull pieces of flesh out of them. In Chinese mythology, hell is called Diyu, which literally translates as "underground court." The peculiarity of this place is the "mirror of evil", in which sinners look at the reflection of their evil earthly deeds for all eternity. Well, we are all well acquainted with hell among Christians.

The science of hell
Of course, many will consider the myths of hell to be fiction. But do not rush to categorical conclusions. In recent decades, scientists have been trying to understand that part of the universe that is "hidden" outside the physical world. In particular, new research proves that in addition to our reality, there may be another. In this regard, we sometimes come into contact with the other world, although we do not see it. And we do not see it for the reason that the level of vibrations of particles in it is several times higher than the elements of the earthly world, it is like the spokes of a rapidly rotating wheel.
More recently, scientists have discovered invisible dark matter in our universe. Matter is almost entirely composed of particles unknown to science. This, in turn, corresponds to the ideas of ancient scientists who argued that our material world is a small part of the invisible area of the universe. By the way, scientists suggest that dark matter is composed of cold and hot particles. Who knows, maybe this is the hot and cold hell that many ancient scriptures report.
