American scientist Robert Lanza came to this encouraging conclusion. According to the theory of biocentrism, of which he is a supporter, death is an illusion created by our consciousness. People believe in death because they are taught so. Lanza believes that death is not the absolute completion of life, but represents a transition to a parallel world. At the service of mankind there are many universes, where our soul moves after death.

Every day a person is faced with a choice. In the morning he wakes up, brushes his teeth and thinks about what to cook for himself for breakfast: scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs, porridge or muesli with milk? After a little thought, he chooses a sausage sandwich and coffee with milk. At the same time, our "double" pours cornflakes into a plate and pours tea into a cup. Another "double" drinks a glass of kefir and eats a high-calorie bun. The fourth generally prefers to be left without breakfast: last night he ate more than usual and does not feel like eating. And the fifth loves to have a snack at McDonald's …
There are countless such "twins": according to quantum physics and the hypothesis of multiverse very popular today, the world consists of an infinite number of parallel worlds. This means that our physical essence, which seems to us the one and only, is only one of the possible realities.
These are the views advocated by Robert Lanza, a professor at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. For many years, the scientist has been engaged in stem cell research. Lanza was one of the first to clone an endangered animal in 2001, and in 2003 he cloned a wild bull using frozen skin cells from an animal that died at the San Diego Zoo nearly a quarter century ago. In the sphere of his interests there are also developments related to the return of sight to blind people. But a few years ago, the pioneer scientist became interested in physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics and moved to Switzerland, where, together with other specialists, he began searching for the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. There his theory of the so-called new biocentrism was born, and the professor became an active propagandist of it. The scientist detailed his views in the book "Biocentrism: how life and consciousness are the key to understanding the true nature of the Universe." According to him, there are an infinite number of universes with different variations of people and situations occurring simultaneously. We used to think that life is only the activity of carbon and molecules. Lanza gives an example of how we perceive the world around us. A person sees the sky in blue, but brain cells can be changed so that he perceives the sky as green or red. Thus, space and time are "just instruments of our mind." There is nothing objective, there are only our ideas about reality. To change the usual look at the world around you, you need to change the perspective, and then a lot of new and surprising will be revealed.

According to biocentrism, death is a mirage that arises in our minds. It arises because people identify themselves with their body. They know that the body will decay and die sooner or later. And they think they will die with him. In fact, consciousness exists outside of time and space. Consciousness can be anywhere: in the human body and outside it. This fits well with the foundations of quantum mechanics, according to which a certain particle can be in different places at the same time, and an event can develop in several, or even in countless scenarios. It's no secret that there are an infinite number of universes. It is in them that all possible scenarios are realized. In one universe, the body dies, and in another continues to live, just our consciousness "flows" into another plane to "settle" there in a new shell. Which one? This is still a subject of controversy for scientists. Not the fact that the form of life in other universes looks the same as in ours. Probably, there the soul acquires a completely different shell - one that we cannot imagine here.

THE LAW OF ENERGY
According to Robert Lanz, consciousness is energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot disappear without a trace and arise from nothing. Likewise, consciousness cannot disappear and cannot be destroyed. But sooner or later the human body dies. And this is also a law - a law of nature, to argue with which it is meaningless. However, it is possible that consciousness persists for some time in the form of electrical impulses passing through neurons in the cerebral cortex. According to Robert Lanz, this energy is able to "flow" from one world to another.
Lanza reviews an experiment that was published in the journal Science. It shows that scientists can influence the behavior of microparticles in the past. 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. All that 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, concludes Robert Lanza.
Albert Einstein wrote about something similar: “Now Besso (an old friend) moved away 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."
THE WHOLE WORLD IS A GREAT DECEPTION?
Most scientists deny the existence of an afterlife. Nevertheless, the theory of biocentrism has both supporters and opponents. Among the first, there are quite rabid followers who believe that there is no material world, but only its virtual image generated by consciousness. Or the world still exists, but appears in the form in which we are allowed to see and feel it by our senses. And if we had other organs and senses, we would see something different.
Biocentrists argue that people are asleep at the present time, 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 collection of cells, and die when our bodies wear out. 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,”says Lanza.
According to the scientist, physical life is not an accident, but a predetermination. 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. After our death, each of us will have to climb the ladder to eternity, and "this ladder can be anywhere." A pretty ghostly prospect. However, for many it is much more pleasant than the hypothetical nothing that the notorious dialectical materialism guarantees us. Let scientists still argue about what awaits us after death, but is it really so bad that “beyond the horizon” something new awaits us? What exactly is still unknown, but even this is enough to gain confidence.
