In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of an afterlife and where it may be situated. Some believe it is within the framework of our universe, while others suggest it could be in a different location altogether. According to a religious text, heaven is in the sky and hell is underground, but scientists have now discovered that hell is actually located in Salford, England. However, some jokingly suggest it could be in Norway. The conversation concludes that the topic is too speculative to have a definite answer.

I've struggled with this question before too... we all know that we live in a universe, on a single life-supporting planet (as far as we know at least) and upon our death, supposedly, self-awareness dissolves and we no longer observe the universe (or anything at all which is impossible to imagine).

So, if there was any sort of after, where would it be situated? Still inside this universe but in a different incommensurable by the naked-eye or the scientific apparatus location or in a completely different universe altogether?

Basically, is the afterlife within the framework of our universe or outside of it?

Hell would have to be inside a black hole and heaven riding a comet around the universe

The Hell is in Norway, doesn't that mean that when one is in Taiwan (when he's still alive) and when he's dead, he will proceed all the way to Norway? That's so far...

And, why the Hell is only in Norway?...:uhh: ...
