"The 'why' in the OP presupposes the idea that there is reasoning behind it and therefore forethought of some description, which negates the question since it answers itself semantically." If you're applying pure logic, then this can't be right - it only negates the set of answers of the type, 'there is no meaning'. There's still more than one option remaining. God, why am I doing this? I said I didn't want a philosophical discussion here. | |||

Energy never dissipates merely transfers to another form "Physicist: Electrical energy is nothing special. Just like the chemical energy in our bodies, it breaks down into heat. For example, the heat given off by light bulbs (or electric heaters for that matter!) is a result of electrical energy. When electricity is flowing to a light bulb, that’s where the electrical energy is going; it’s turning into light. When you pull the plug (so to speak) what tiny, tiny amount of electrical energy there is in the wires runs out almost immediately. The term “electrical energy” is actually a little vague. So, to be specific, in our nervous system there are tiny ion pumps that maintain an imbalance of charges between the inside and outside of the nerve cells. When a nerve cell fires, charges are allowed to suddenly flow through the cell membrane in a process called an “action potential“. The way electricity flows along nerve cells is different from the way it flows down a telegraph wire (“inside-to-outside” instead of “along”), but whatever.

Death is more of a break-down of the whole system, as opposed to a sudden event. The heart stops doing whatever hearts do when they’re not loving, oxygen and nutrients stop going where they’re needed, and in short order the nerve cells in the body lose the wherewithal to pump ions. Like batteries that are no longer being recharged, they run down. Nothing special. Like every kind of energy, whether electrical, kinetic, sonic, or sports fever, the electrical potential in the body eventually becomes heat energy (it’s an entropy thing). The energy we “carry around” takes the form of chemical energy like fats and sugars. When our nervous system creates electrical energy we lose an equal amount of chemical energy. So, rather than being energy itself, life is all about moving energy around from one form to another. What this question is clearly really about is the fact that it seems as though there’s a fundamental difference between animate and inanimate people. Admittedly, dead folk are a hair less energetic than living people (with some exceptions). There are a few kinds of energy (surprisingly few), but spiritual energy doesn’t seem to be one of them. In terms of physical energy, the difference between a living body and a very recently dead body is just a question of how that energy is being organized. Living critters in general are very good at using chemical energy for things like moving, growing, etc. Newly dead critters have about the same amount of chemical energy, it’s just that they don’t use it.

"'Meaning' is a human creation. There's no such thing as meaning in the way we percieve it without a human there to do the perceiving. The question presupposes that a human invention or creation can be used to 'explain' everything....I don't think so. Perhaps but there's always a reason even if that reason is an ancient, by design etc inescapably always a reason
You're assuming that and it's a very big assumption. The truth is that we don't know.
We don't even know what is right in front of our eyes right now because we just feed off electrical pulses and create how we make some sense of this chaos.
We already know that there's no such thing as solid matter!
Still there's a reason behind every single thing regardless of perspective or reality simply not understanding doesn't negate the undeniable fact there's always a reason we just don't always know it
You clearly have a closed mind. You say it's an undeniable fact. We do not know that there is a reason, why is that difficult for you to grasp?
It's quite simple really everything has an explanation ergo a reason, just because we don't k ow it that doesn't mean the reason isn't in existence, a reason is merely the why or wherefore it's not semantics but reality mathematical science dictates there is always a reason and absolutely everything is possible we just don't have all the answers to be able to articulate it
Do as you can see its really as open minded as is possible to be
No it isn't as open minded as you think because you stubbornly assert in the definitive that everything has an explanation, reason or meaning.
Just because we have been able to use the human tool of reason to explain some of what we percieve to be our physical surroundings doesn't mean that therefore everything has reason.
That my friend is a leap of faith, you're pushing your belief."Not a leap of faith but a matter of fact its extremely naive to try and say not everything has a reason/explanation purely because you can't personally quantify it
There's a subtle difference between being a reason, or having reason but very good try with your stubborn assertion using semantics | |||

"In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant—it is said to be conserved over time.[1] Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. As you can see the physical nature of the human may be termed as dead but the energy nonetheless is constant just transferred
i'm struggling with physics, can't even understand newtons law despite finding a really good teacher who i can understand.
what's the isolated system here? the dead body?
"The entire universe, meaning everything there is, including things we cannot see, is an isolated system because it has no "surroundings"; it's literally everything there is. Obviously, a system cannot exchange energy or matter with "surroundings" that do not exist. Hope this helps | |||

My earlier mentor as certified genius and respected mathematician gave me an excellent perspective on this and it's most definitely not linked to religion but logic the core of science
So semantics aside faith aside there's an answer (reason) that absolutely everything is otherwise science wouldn't exist and we woukd simply believe everything just is no reason just is therefore science woukd be moot, negated do your assertion is semantics at best and illogical at worst which delves into the theological and arena of religion

"As for the questions being asked of science they have always been mind blowing in their eras the biggest and most fascinating fact in science is that physics as it's known is flawed, the general theory of relativity and quantums prove the with their lack if harmony and the search for an all in one answer continues, to try and deny this would undoubtedly show a lack of understanding on your part, the greatest minds in science will admit there's flaws as it's understood, of course where and why is eternally disputed between physicists and mathematicians as each camp have differing issues with differing results, fascinating stuff and sometimes can seem mind-blowing if perception thrown off | |||

see this is what i meant when i said we don't exist any more after we die. by we i meant our consciousness, and not the molecules that always exist. we're not molecules as far as i'm concerned because anything can be those, we are what makes us, us. the molecules and impulses just help us become who we are.
if we were just talking about what exists physically i probably would have said it's interesting how so many different things exist and how we evolved but not said much more than that really. physically there doesn't seem to be any point to the universe except as a reason for us to expand our consciousness. | |||

Is consciousness corporeal in a sense or etheric?
By definition as it's described it's easy to assume but as you have highlighted oftentimes these seemingly set in stone ideas and definitions can be blown wide open and redefined!
I have actually really enjoyed our conversation thank you | |||

One facet that really gets my attention is as we are able to see smaller things, the structure of an atom is remarkably similar to the structure of a solar system, so could what we see as a universe be a molecule in some other universe? | |||

One facet that really gets my attention is as we are able to see smaller things, the structure of an atom is remarkably similar to the structure of a solar system, so could what we see as a universe be a molecule in some other universe?"Aww man now your really talking
There's striking and interesting parallels in so very many ways, also I love the imperfectly perfect description always fascinated me
Are we the lice on another's head so to speak hehe | |||

"Alternatively, what is the structure of the higgs boson particle?" The higgs field and or particle is an extremely fascinating topic, can things really have/be matter without it? how can it have matter if it facilitates matter? Twin peaks great programme even better topic | |||

"Absolutely and it almost fitted too hehe
Is consciousness corporeal in a sense or etheric?
By definition as it's described it's easy to assume but as you have highlighted oftentimes these seemingly set in stone ideas and definitions can be blown wide open and redefined!
I have actually really enjoyed our conversation thank you "there's no proof it's etheric, but saying that there's no proof of it existing apart from we know it does exist. we do think it wouldn't exist, as it does, without a body to experience things. yeah it was alright, wish i'd known what we was talking about exactly though. | |||

Ahh we got there in the end just like science usually does | |||

"Perspective and perception, we are only capable of thinking inside the limit of our senses, even the best physics often falls down, by at some point of the calculation relying on a perceived constant. " Isn't it exciting though and paradoxical to know that percieved constant aka understanding of physics is known to be flawed
The truth is out there hehe | |||

"Goethe said that 'The point of life is life'. Sufjan Stevens sang 'Make the most of your life, while it is rife, while it is light'. Dylan Thomas begged his father 'Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light'. Mortality shapes everything we are and do. We need meaning and purpose on an individual level, even if meaning in the universe eludes us. We are a part of everything and everyone. We are memory. We are love. " Ahh bravo the poetry part | |||
