In summary, the concept of dying before being born does not have a scientific explanation and is not supported by current understanding of biology and time. It is also not possible for a person's consciousness to exist before birth and experience death. Some religious beliefs may suggest otherwise, but they are based on faith rather than scientific evidence.

TL;DR Summary
Just wondering, is there a frame of reference, among all of the different frames of reference, where someone dies before they are born?

No. The space-time "distortions" of Special Relativity time dilation are never enough to change any cause-effect relationship.
 
  • #3
No. Those events have time-like separation. Only events with space-like separation may change thir relative time order depending on the frame.
 

1. What does it mean to die before you are born?

It refers to the concept of time travel, where one's death occurs before their birth in a particular frame of reference.

2. Is it scientifically possible to die before you are born?

No, according to the laws of physics, it is not possible to die before you are born. The concept of time travel is still a theoretical concept and has not been proven to be possible.

3. Can someone be born and die at the same time in different frames of reference?

Yes, it is possible for someone to be born and die at the same time in different frames of reference. This is known as the twin paradox, where one twin experiences time differently due to traveling at high speeds in space.

4. How does the theory of relativity explain the concept of dying before being born?

The theory of relativity states that time is relative and can be experienced differently in different frames of reference. This means that in one frame, an event may occur before another, while in a different frame, the order may be reversed.

5. Are there any real-life examples of dying before being born?

No, there are no known real-life examples of dying before being born. The concept of time travel is still a theoretical concept and has not been proven to be possible in reality.
