New article about after life and Quantum physics

In summary: This man is from a School of Medicine, but his ideas rely on the multiverse, for which there is no experimental evidence. Sad.

This is the kind of nonsense that sells books to those gullible folks who both WANT for their to be an afterlife and are also indifferent to the scientific values of the discussion.
Can you provide any material or proof that his theory is wrong?I personally don't believe it either,but I'm not going to completely dismiss this as b.s until i see proof that contradicts everything he says.

Are we being honest with ourselves? This guy does have some nice credentials.

“…he’s the standard-bearer for stem cell research”

http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/tag/robert-lanza/

“Lanza published a paper in The Lancet earlier this year detailing the results of early clinical trials involving two women suffering from macular degeneration. A UCLA ophthalmologist injected each woman with 50,000 retinal cells derived from human embryonic stem cells, and according to the paper, both claim to have better vision as a result. They’re not 20/20. But after a single injection one now walks the mall alone, uses her computer, and can pour a cup of coffee. The other sees colors and can read five letters on the eye chart. If Lanza is remembered one day as the man who saved millions from blindness, his story will provide a ready-made biopic for Ben Affleck. Born in the hardscrabble town of Roxbury and raised by a professional gambler, he escaped the economic underclass through intelligence and imagination. At 13, he altered the DNA of a chicken to make it change color; the experiment was published in Nature. His sisters never graduated from high school. He received an MD from Penn and a Fulbright scholarship, and has collaborated with giants, including B.F. Skinner and Jonas Salk. He was the first ever to clone an endangered species, and now he’s the standard-bearer for stem cell research.”

The mentors have come to the conclusion that this is a pseudoscience. The nature of the source does not conform to the strict requirement for a valid source, as stated in the PF Rules. Thus, this topic of discussion is closed.

Note that expertise in one area (medicine) does not imply expertise or credibility in another area (physics).
 

1. What is the connection between afterlife and quantum physics?

The connection between afterlife and quantum physics is a highly debated topic. Some scientists and philosophers argue that the principles of quantum mechanics, such as the concept of entanglement, could provide a scientific basis for the existence of an afterlife. However, there is currently no concrete evidence to support this claim.

2. What does quantum physics say about the existence of an afterlife?

Quantum physics does not directly address the concept of an afterlife. It is a scientific theory that explains the behavior of particles at a subatomic level. The theories and principles of quantum physics are still being studied and debated, and there is no consensus among scientists about its implications for the existence of an afterlife.

3. Is there any scientific evidence for the existence of an afterlife?

At this time, there is no scientific evidence that definitively proves the existence of an afterlife. While some theories and principles in quantum physics may be used to speculate about the possibility of an afterlife, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.

4. Can quantum physics explain the concept of reincarnation?

There is no scientific evidence that supports the concept of reincarnation. While some theories in quantum physics, such as the possibility of parallel universes, may seem to align with the idea of reincarnation, it is important to note that these are still theoretical and have not been proven through scientific experimentation.

5. How does the scientific community view the relationship between afterlife and quantum physics?

The scientific community is divided on the topic of afterlife and quantum physics. Some scientists believe that quantum mechanics could provide a basis for the existence of an afterlife, while others argue that it is outside the realm of science and should be left to religion and philosophy. Ultimately, there is no consensus among the scientific community on this subject.
