CONSCIOUSNESS AND AFTERLIFE
Abstract
To date, no scientific study has found reliable evidence of an afterlife; the mechanism of
consciousness is two of the most challenging questions. Here, I show the hypotheses for
consciousness and the probability of an afterlife through three simple thought experiments and
theoretical evidence. I demonstrate the problems of consciousness, intelligence, and the brain's
relationship with remaining neuroscience, physics, and psychology; and why new physics,
psychology, and philosophy are needed to fulfill the gaps in research objectives. Furthermore, I
discuss how and why I suggest significant probability of a continuum of consciousness - the
afterlife. Findings show no alternatives other than the afterlife. In other words, I did not find
different ways to discuss the results of those experiments yet. I show how and why new findings

worlds. Consciousness also means a sense of self, feelings, choice, control of voluntary behavior,
memory, thought, language, and (e.g., when we close our eyes or meditate) internally generated
images and geometric patterns; however, what consciousness remains unknown and plays an
intrinsic role in the universe (Hameroff & Penrose 2014). Philosophers have used the term
'consciousness' for four main topics: knowledge in general, intentionality, introspection (and the
Dennett, 1991; Dennett, 1995; Dennett & Kinsbourne, 1991; Wegner, 2002), for example,
dualism/spirituality, with consciousness outside of science (Berkeley, 1975; Chopra, 2001; Kant,
1998). Science with consciousness as an essential ingredient of physical law still needs to be
fully understood. (Hameroff, 1998; Hameroff, 2007; Hameroff & Penrose, 1996; Hameroff &
Penrose, 1996; Penrose & Hameroff, 1995; Penrose & Hameroff, 2011; Whitehead, 1929;
Whitehead, 1933). How can we define consciousness, intelligence, and their relationship? How
might individual intelligence evolution happen? Is there a probability of an afterlife? How might
individual intelligence evolve if the afterlife occurs? How does individual intelligence impact
global intelligence evolution? Does a new physics theory link the hypothesis and mechanism of
the brain matter to consciousness? These are out of essential and unresolved big questions related
to the life of the conscious. Some say that consciousness is not a scientific term and lacks a
technical definition, and we are learning to make sense of ourselves without invoking
supernatural power (Zeman, 2008). Most scientists put aside the afterlife question, considering it
a just religious and metaphysical belief. Moreover, near-death experience represents a biological
paradox that challenges our understanding of the brain and has been advocated as evidence for

life after death and the noncorporeal basis of human consciousness. (Alexander, 2012; Chopra,
2006; Long & Perry, 2010; Thonnard, et al., 2013; van Lommel, 2010) It is based on an
unsupported belief that the brain cannot be the source of highly vivid and lucid conscious
experiences during clinical death. (Facco and Agrillo, 2012; Thonnard, et al. 2013; Mobbs &
Nevertheless, the evidence thus far suggests that in the first few minutes after death,
consciousness is not annihilated (Reardon, 2019). While many such studies' approaches are on
near-death experiences, my methodology differs from those studies and has a new theoretical
approach too. This study on the theme was encouraged by researchers who revived disembodied
pig brains and challenged definitions of life and death (Vrselja et al., 2019). To philosophers,
(Sutherland, 1989).
On the other hand, some biophysicists handle the issue of consciousness in a multidisciplinary
way. However, when a scientific inquiry into the brain and consciousness occurs, considerable
knowledge of physical theories of the matters in the universe and its psychology is unavoidable.
However, considering the knowledge of the brain and physical functions, free will is an illusion
that shares common cognitive elements with paranormal beliefs. (Mogi, 2014). Nevertheless,
neither general relativity nor quantum mechanics help answer these significant problems. When
questioning whether there is a unified theory for everything, Hawking found three possibilities:
(a) there is a completely unified theory, (b) there is no such ultimate theory or just infinite
sequence, and (c) no theory of universe and event cannot be predicted beyond a certain extent
(Hawking, 2006). In other words, we cannot conclude universal theory precisely yet.

Hawking told the Guardian, "There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a
fairy story for people afraid of the dark." He believed the brain is like a computer that will shut
off and regards the brain as a computer that will stop working when its components fail.
(Hawking, 2011). Moreover, the biological computer brain naturally selects and programs might
make the stream of conscious thoughts. I suggest there are three leading mind software which
critical to cognitive functions, and I call those mind virus vs. healthy mind virus (MV vs. HMV)
and neutral mind viruses (Dayathilake, 2017; Dayathilake, 2017; Dayathilake, 2017:
Dayathilake, 2018). However, the question is whether merely the matter of brain nature and
nurture makes consciousness or not. I propose that consciousness may result from multiple
factors. Consciousness may arise and vanish in a complex natural neuronal reflex network with a
combination of the brain's nature, nurture, X-ultraquantum unique particle of consciousness (X-
UQUPC) particle, and X-ultra quantum genomic particle of consciousness (X-UQGPC) (in other
the ‘genetic’ information of a conscious mind); however, it does not consist of nucleotide
sequences of DNA but the ultra-quantum ‘genes’ and may be a changing heritable characteristic
of the conscious mind with time; therefore, there is no free will. (Dayathilake, 2017;
the processes subject to relation (Gombrich, 2009) and no self that no unchanging, permanent
self or essence can be found in any phenomenon (Machin, 2013). Buddhist texts portray
and impermanent moments that perish as soon as they arise” (Hameroff & Penrose 2014).

phenomena” and is “distinct unconnected and impermanence that perish as soon as arise.”
Buddhist writings even quantify the frequency of conscious moments. For example,
Sarvaastivaadins (Rospatt, 1995) described 6,480,000 “moments” in 24 hours (an average of one
“moment” per 13.3 ms, 75 Hz), and some Chinese Buddhists described one “thought” per 20 ms
(50 Hz). The best measurable correlate of consciousness through modern science is gamma
occurring across various synchronized brain regions (Hameroff & Penrose, 2014). Slower
periods, e.g., 4 to 7 Hz, that a frequency with nested gamma waves could correspond to saccades
and visual gestalts (Woolf & Hemeroff,2001; VanRullen & Koch, 2003). It is difficult to find
how that Buddha taught such accurate measurements in the period of science-technology not
‘developed’ on Earth. Therefore I have also given thorough attention to Buddhist teachings; I
assumed there might be a great potential to find helpful knowledge to discuss the mysteries I
Therefore, we still do not have a fundamental theory to explain the objectives of the article thus
far, and I assume that an interdisciplinary study with a theoretical model may be helpful to
initially find possible evidence of the issues of consciousness and the afterlife.

Experiment 2
Suppose the whole-brain matter of a, b, d, e, g, and h were instantly separated to the atomic level
at T1; moreover, the six brains were simultaneously reconstructed at T2. Furthermore, at T2, these
brains looked ‘physically’ similar to those until T1 and were similarly nurtured. The second
experiment was designed to avoid two errors (1). if the six brains in experiment one were not
dead but had little consciousness, in other words, if they were in a nearly dead stage (yet not dead
brains), and (2). to minimize the error of quantum entanglement (if) intervened between the six

two). Do ‘a’ (your) consciousness destroy forever, in one out of eleven or another brain out of
the lab? How can one say that ‘a’ (your) conscious mind is destroyed without an afterlife?
Alternatively, great questions remain if ‘a’ (your) mind selects one of eleven identical brains. In
other words, how and why does ‘a’ (your) mind arise (if) in one specific brain out of eleven
similar brains?
General Discussion
How did brains gain 'new' consciousness at T2? Whose consciousness identities are now of new
thirty-three brains? For example, how do the similar eleven brains, identical to the brain 'a', start
new consciousness simultaneously at T2, as I discussed in the third experiment? It might be more
convenient to understand the argument if any scientist or reader of this article could imagine
‘you’ and ‘your’ identical two siblings of the triplets and other participants in this research to
analyze the results of the experiments. The third experiment is crucial to answering one of the
research objectives. Some can argue that the similar conscious minds originally in a, b, d, e, g,
and h are not among the thirty-three brains after T2 in the lab. For example, did the similar
consciousness of 'a' (you and your siblings ‘b’) exist among similar a, a1, a2, a3, b, b1, b2, b3, c1,

c1, and c3 brains in the lab or out of the lab in an unknown place? (I labeled those two brains ‘a?’
and ‘b?’). If not, what happened to the 'a' and b consciousness in the lab before T1?
If the original person 'a' existed brain in the lab while all eleven brains were identical, how and
why did the original 'a' select a particular brain out of eleven identical-similar brains? These are
crucial and big questions that need to be solved here. Otherwise, 'a'(you) should feel aware that
'a' simultaneously live within two or more identical brains in the lab after T2.
Suppose Orch Or or any other theory of materialism might suggest that the original 'a' might also
be among those brains after T2. However, 'a' has no life between T1 and T2. In addition, no stream
of series of the afterlife might be their conclusion. However, they might not be smart enough to
answer how or why 'a' (and your siblings 'b’) is or is not among such perfectly identical eleven
brains simultaneously made at T2. Because the new life of twenty-seven and six brains (frozen)
gains life at T2, it appears similar to emerge as in pig brains (Vrselja, Z. et al. 2019). Moreover,
their current opinions of the afterlife make identifying who lives in each conscious of those
brains challenging. This article’s argument might convince us that the new life in pigs’ brains
was probably not similar to “pigs’ consciousness before specific brains death.
There are probably two, three, or more or an infinite number of brains physically identical to any
given brain simultaneously in the universe/s. Our introspections indicate that a person's
consciousness has a unique continuum throughout life and does not coincidently overlap with
any other life’s conscious mind out of ‘a’ (your) or mine, or someone else brain. Furthermore,
we are generalizing our experience, and scientific findings, personal experience, and feelings
suggest that the identity of (your) consciousness would not exchange or move to identical brain/s

physically able to test in a laboratory unless scientific facts support the working hypothesis of

that there may be naturally created two, three, more, or infinite physically identical brains to any

However, merely materialism and present empirical findings do not support such two kinds of
particles that emit and move to bond with a suitable zygote/primary nervous system/embryo at

that possibly move faster than light. Furthermore, the quantum entanglement speed is 10,000
times the light speed (Juan, Y. et al. 2013), which encourages my hypothesis on the infinite
speed of two-particle movement. However, if such a mechanism does not exist, it will again
contradict itself because there may be two, many, or an infinite number of identical
consciousnesses. Materialists might find it challenging to explain the results of the third

justifying the hypothesis. However, I cannot precisely answer how those particles originate in the
universe/s and why. Do they never destroy? Buddhist teachings call the state of Nibbana
(extinction) “the ultimate and absolute deliverance from future rebirth, old age, diseases, and
death from all sufferings and misery” (Nayanatiloka, 1952) and (after) the highest level of
intelligence (Dayathilake, K.L.S., 2017) of a being, yet further in-depth studies remain.
Moreover, these two particles may not exist without live neurons over time. The combined two
particles may not be discussed with either general relativity or quantum theory. Moreover, such
particles may be emitted from a dead brain and simultaneously move at infinite speed to bond

challenge in identifying whether the similar stream of consciousness of 'a' (you) and 'b' continues

Nevertheless, any person's consciousness continues in the live brain until death; in other words,
the living brain is not a zombie like a computer. To Hawking, the live human brain is similar to a

In other words, materialists may say that participants' lives were a continuum from T0 to T1,
which is an empirical-experience fact. Nevertheless, there was no afterlife from T1 to T2, and the
similar original consciousness of the six regained similar consciousness and cognitions at T2 in
the lab. However, they will be unanswerable to the results of the third experiment; if someone
asks them to show the brain of 'a' out of eleven identical brains, they will be in trouble.
Furthermore, if they say 'a’ was neither in nor out of the lab, they cannot answer why.
Nevertheless, the only option is that 'a' might live from T1, elsewhere outside the lab.
We may assume that the reference to present life uniqueness of self-awareness might be a
continuum from childhood (probably from an early embryo) until death. In other words, in the
development of a given person's brain in size and its neural organization, new matter (elements,
chemicals in different quantities and qualities) replaces inside or outer neurons of the brain (such
as new proteins, evolving DNA, neuroplasticity, and neurogenesis) or shrinks in age, when after
stroke, or brain damage, etc., an excellent still ‘specific – unique’ stream of consciousness
continuum via time. Therefore, our theory might be an alternative to more successfully
discussing those big questions with minimal contradictions than existence theories, including
materialism.
Therefore, if the six brains did not die but minimized or neutralized (a reference to experiment
one) their consciousness at T1, they would continue their unique psychological awareness from
T2 and beyond. Nevertheless, if these six participants indeed die, researchers face a significant
problematic issue seems essential to see what might happen to our continuum consciousness
after death at T1. If materialism is acceptable, no new physics need or afterlife is involved.

However, the issue is why six previous persons were not born at T2 among the thirty-three
brains. Suppose one can argue that there is a possibility to be born again among thirty-three
while keeping a time interval of T1 to T2. If those six were born again among thirty-three, one
could question materialists in which specific brains previous life of six were born and why.
Moreover, one can ask materialists who say similar consciousness will arise in a similar brain. If
so, how does six specific consciousness (which were before death T1) select six specific-distinct

T2'. Furthermore, did 'a's consciousness live elsewhere, out of the lab -on Earth or in the
universe/s?
Therefore, materialism, GR, and quantum mechanics do not answer the above issues.
Alternatively, in other words, unknown particles (X-UQGPC) may be involved here. Here, I

biophysics or other physics theories. However, such unidentified matter might closely function
with a quantum particle in brain neurons, and the functions might depend on the Orch Or theory.

Quantum mechanics might not adequately discuss such tiny matter in size, mass, speed, velocity,
or time. If such particles exist, it is not always necessary for them to behave according to
quantum mechanics. From a mathematical aspect, although one is a natural number, it does not

between zero and 1 (one) has a decimal representation of relative quantities with an infinite
decimal.
Moreover, it is unclear whether such absurdly tiny scales have any physical meaning (Roger,
1989). Therefore, asking for the most minor or minuscule mass particle or/and the minor time
fracture seems meaningless. However, finding all those measurements (quantities) and all
qualities might not even be in the future. Here, I argue that if there are countless smaller particles
in size and different new physical qualities, they might not behave according to the laws in the
present theories of physics as well. Those might be beyond direct empirical research, such as any
elementary – subatomic particles. I use this mathematical application to assume the probability
of the existence of particles smaller than empirical elements already found by physicists. Here, I
use these mathematical thoughts to suggest the probability of the two in one tiny particle, as I
have already mentioned. Otherwise, when it travels through massive bodies such as black holes
or colossal stars, it would also be destroyed, deviated, or attached to them by great gravity and
heat. (Dayathilake, 2018). Since electromagnetic waves and quantum particles have space-time
curvature, such particles cannot pass through these massive bodies in the universe/s and have an

are massless or nearly ‘zero mass,’ so space-time has no curvature. However, without (firm)
evidence, I suggest that those particles simultaneously have a multi(or infinite) dimensional
movement within the live brain and, when death occurs, emit and attach in a new ‘nervous
system’ at infinite speed, too. Such infinite-speed suggestions minimize contradictions within the
Consequently, the life of the nervous system might be formed by union with two unidentified
microparticles and travel in infinite velocity from one dead brain to a new vacant primary nerve

According to this hypothesis, there are no two or more X-UQUPCs in living beings elsewhere in
Neurobiological changes may impact quantum mechanics and be minimal, inactive, neutral, or
less conscious. For example, if there is a lack of oxygen, glucose, and general anesthesia, such
fluctuations of consciousness might occur. Here, I explain how consciousness might exist in the
brain with the direct results of three experiments. I propose that infinite movement of (X-
UQUPC +X-UQGPC) in a specific brain's active areas of a person may result in present-moment
awareness of consciousness. The evolution (or regression) of X-UQUPC may depend on the
physical brain function of a particular active area(s). X-UQGPC might exist in the whole live
brain simultaneously. Therefore, the speed of thoughts might depend on the neuronal network's
operating speed. However, X-UQUPC + X-UQGPC may have infinite speed outside (multi or
infinite) dimensional (simultaneous) vibration and exist as a 'cloud' in the entire live brain.

Therefore, the 'cloud' size may be expanded while developing the brain. Here, I would emphasize
that bonded particles do not represent the ‘notion of a spiritual soul’ that has been told particular
and ever-suffering or happy birth after death and independent of brain functions, which has no
scientific rationale.
The third theoretical experiment attempts to make exact brains develop in completely similar
nurtures. (1) a physical foundation of the brain is a scientific fact, (2) we, billions of healthy
humans on Earth, an experience that our consciousness continues from past to present, and
everyone feels their consciousness of lives is unique and independent to each of their life

Scientists claim that billions of stars might already have possible planets where life exists in our

According to my suggestion, it might be clear that you (a), your ‘b,’ and ‘c’ siblings might not

places (brains). However, as mentioned earlier, no healthy people on Earth have had such
experiences. Furthermore, who was in the new eleven brains after T2 in the lab? These questions
might not explain other than my points of one to six above. (7) As I previously said, a universally
X-UQUPC continuum is a stream from birth to death and the afterlife. Moreover, no healthy
person is simultaneously confused with one, two, or more similar lives and multi-awareness
(8) Nevertheless, if the consciousness of life emerges just as a rare accident without continuum
afterlives and with a purely physical effect, similar accidents might or should also occur (for
example) at any time between two or many persons on Earth. Contradictions occur again if
similar consciousnesses arise (as I discussed above in point seven). Therefore, it is not logical to

accept that the life consciousness of a person (or any being) arises from coincidence. If a similar
person's life gains two or more places simultaneously due to (just) coincidence, the materialists'
argument fails again with multiple identical consciousnesses. Therefore, you, me, or any other
might confuse about multiple existences simultaneously in many places in the universe if life is
just a result of a coincidence (9). Therefore, if life is just the result of a coincidence of only
known and empirical physical matter, it cannot solve the problem. (10). Nevertheless, point nine
will be a contradiction; if such two, more, or infinite similar coincidences might happen
simultaneously, similar individuals may be born with identical consciousness (but not unique or
independent ); in other words, we should feel that we are concurrently in two or more or infinite
places simultaneously. (11) Most importantly, I assume that (when) the origin of mysterious
consciousness (naturally )is avoided, such as universal self-confusion. However, the nature of
unique particle) and continuum stream of consciousness in the afterlife (might be with natural
responsibility). However, it is too early to suggest whether this purpose of unique consciousness
has any relationship with life in the universe/s. To avoid those contradictions and three
experiment results, I suppose there is no time gap to travel to X-two combined microparticles (X-
UQGPC and X-UQUPC) between the dead brain and new life in a primary nervous system.
Therefore, there might be no issue with distance travel between those two environments of the
dead brain to the vacant nerve system. (13) I emphasize that one, two, or more (X-UQGPC) with
a similar 'key' may emit at any time. (14) Nevertheless, there may be many more vacant similar
nervous systems than the number emitting any X-UQGPC at any given time. In other words,
there may be more or infinite vacant and matching nervous systems in the universe/s than any
given number of similar 'keys' of X-UQGPC(+X-UQUPC) that might emit at any given time.

However, here I should emphasize that two or more beings may have similar' keys in different
‘independent’ brains.' However, I may not suggest that there are two or more beings with similar
X-UQUPC.
Therefore, the evolution (or regression) of life in the universe/s and consciousness might not be
merely a result of known physical matters of the brain and a just outcome of coincidence, as
materialism explains. However, it may result from phenomena only discussed with new physics
and beyond empirical studies. Otherwise, the principle of individual-unique consciousness of life
theory cannot apply. In other words, ‘a’ (you), your sibling’s ‘b,’ and ‘c’ might experience two
or more identical brains simultaneously at any given moment (in diverse areas of the universe/s),
as I have demonstrated in research observations after T2. As I already emphasized several times
Here, the X-UQGPC might be changed by the brain's quantum particles. Both combined
microparticles may not move to any other brain or beyond the specific brain until death. In other
words, when a person's brain has a velocity relative to any external matter, the 'cloud' of two
ultra-quantum particles might move simultaneously with the brain. In other words, when the
brain develops to larger or shrinks with age, the two particle sizes may adjust to the live brain
area at any given moment. Because the two particles move simultaneously at an infinite velocity
in the live regions of an entire brain, X-UGPC may not affect changes that evolve (or progress)
in the physical brain. In other words, the evolution (or regression) of X-UQGPC in the brain
depends on nature, nurture, biology, biophysics, and related behavior. Therefore, the total
evolution (or regression) of these factors may impact the positive or negative effects of X-
UQGPC. One may suggest that those particles act as an independent soul.' However, if there is a

should have a variation of I.Q. and behaviors. X-UQUPC might not deviate from X-UQGPC or
any person's materialistic brain, which continuously makes its stream of a unique individual
consciousness. Therefore, X-UQUPC might never change over time in a particular life and might
continue a unique consciousness even after death. However, the evolving or regression X-
UQGPC in a specific brain and the characteristic final 'key gene/s' of evolution (or regression)
I suggest additional theoretical evidence of a single unique 'cloud of the two microparticles' of
any living brain(areas) in humans or animals. For example, billions of neurons in a human brain
are not linked as a single network; there are always gaps- space between each other by synapse
of every neuron and no unbroken microtubule links (a single network) within the entire brain.
Therefore, it is difficult to make a possible argument for a single individual identity in one brain
without the theory mentioned here. If we do not consider this hypothesis, one can argue that
I use split-brain research findings to strengthen my idea of the new physics ‘matter’ of two
modules. In that case, the brain is composed of hundreds of independent centers of thought
called "modules" (Blakeslee, 1996), two minds in one person (Schiffer, 2021), leading to the
conclusion that simple dual consciousness (i.e., right-brain/left-brain model of the mind) is a
gross oversimplification and that the brain is organized into hundreds or perhaps even thousands
of modular-processing systems. (Gazzaniga, M., LeDoux, J., 1978; Gazzaniga, M., 1985).

have such an independent soul, patients' behaviors or other cognitive functions do not deviate from

independent soul, neurological or psychiatric patients may not suffer from disorders of their
physical brain. Therefore, I suppose there is also no free will (Dayathilake, 2017; Dayathilake,

These hypotheses might not ultimately discuss the theories. However, any given person or
animal has an individual consciousness, which is a primary principle of the universe and might
be a continuum after death. The brain might strongly bond with these two unknown ultra-

determinism (Penrose, 1989) and the afterlife hypothesis also do not seem contradictory.
However, it is not easy to precisely find the natural purpose of the unique consciousness
