I was hoping for something Star Trekie. How else can they magnify so many times? Lol.

Not sure. Can a magnet bend light or only matter?

A friend of mine who is into some more esoteric stuff says one should rely more on wisdom without knowledge as if they need not be connected.

How do you mean?

I suppose I mean acquired understanding of the nature of something that predictions are possible.

Where can these numbers be found? Is there a government site?

I only ask because I read a poll claiming a certain percent of people of one party affiliation have particular beliefs and I wanted to get a sense of ...

No I mean registered to vote as one party member or another?

Are there many physicists in here?

No I don't remember the topics of my last deleted or criticized questions. At the time they seemed reasonable. Maybe asking for clarity on lightspeed ...

Physicsforums.com. And I don't remember the last deleted post.

Can't ideas be stolen from forums?

What is the mind made of that it can't be divided?

Life isn't so bad without knowledge of anything afterwards. Find simple passions. Dopamine is harder to feel with age, but I am hopeful age research w...

They were slow with Covid-19 too. I would think they'd learn better preparation, but many experts really downplayed monkeypox, and now it's an issue.

It says Einstein didn't believe in free will or at least had doubts? I thought he was a religion person talking about "God not playing dice" and what ...

It seems like this forum needs functions for drawing out what one is describing including venn diagrams.

I don't mean number of points in a math object. Lets say miles or representation of number of countable things.

Our bodies know pain whether it is the end of all for us, or just the beginning.

What world would we live in in which a person would suggest someone drink bleach to their benefit? Lol.

Quick survey. Was Descartes an idiot?

So you're worried personal identity exists only in the body and doesn't move forward in a hypothetical spirit form? If that's what you're saying maybe...

Find any recent data on the beliefs?

I prefer to not think they’re merely dreams because people consider them far more profound and in a way that changes their perspective basically for l...

Assuming an afterlife is worse than here. Are we talking brim stone and hellish landscapes? Worse in what way, and why exactly?

I am not familiar with this sixpense dream, but it seems a little too close to the person having the dream to give the idea that they went anywhere to...

Aren't NDEs often out of body experiences? If one gathers off-limits info while supposedly not in their body shouldn't that act as evidence that it wa...

I don't make a huge distinction between NDEs and out of body experience without medical death or trauma. If the mind finds knowledge they should by no...

Personally I don't care if a memory formed when the brain was "off" or sometime unknown to them when they started to come to. It is information that m...

I appreciate the input.

I don't think I've ever had a dream reveal anything to me that only a person located elsewhere could know. I am not interested in NDEs being similar t...

A friend brought it to my attention that many philosophy people in here might be biased against any ideas that border on religious. I personally might...

Outside of Dr. Long's stuff, how many other near death experiences showed gained knowledge that the person having the experience couldn't possibly hav...

I don't think trying to use logic can stand in place of something that can be physically demonstrated and informationally communicated.

Are you meaning "life" in a strictly biological sense, or could disembodied consciousness work?

Ok, but what better evidence is there of an afterlife if not NDEs? What subjects of study are you focusing on? And certainly the body hurts when injur...

Not sure what you're saying. Proof and evidence aren't dissimilar. Proof is maybe most solid in math, but I think in most science it is always a very ...

If the brain was fully dead you'd ultimately have nobody to talk to on the subject. But assuming those that have these experiences acquired knowledge ...

"There is the fact our minds are indivisible and thus indestructible. And there is the fact our deaths are extremely harmful to us (which yet would no...

Do we even know if reincarnation is a thing or is compulsory? I think reincarnation and NDEs need to be studied separately.

If I was in a hospital knowing I might be in mortal danger I don't think I'd let my thought travel far from there. Seems priority to stay present and ...

There is research into previous lives which seems even less scientific as a living person is referring to a dead person who can't confirm they are the...

By stuck in a room my emphasis is gaining knowledge from outside. If a person's body hasn't moved and they claimed an out of body experience they shou...

I think most people know what a typical dream would seem like? Personally my dreams are weak, not vivid, and I rarely remember them. Also entirely too...

ditto to your question.

What other type of evidence are you referring to?

And yes you could say a person never died if they can make a recovery no matter if the doctor says they "officially" died. But to my knowledge dead me...

I read your post previously, or at least the first 10 pages. It seemed to go in circles after that. I really need more than sheer number of testimonia...

I only linger on the subject because I suffer from chronic pain that makes most days useless. I rarely leave the couch outside of going to work. After...

Don't linger on the word "near." That only emphasizes that it wasn't permanent this time. Focus on any information recovered during the experience tha...
