reset. Scientist are concerned so much to know about the fate of matter / universe, the hows, whys, whens,
etc. At least they should spare some time to contemplate on their own death. While the loss of information
through black holes is a great concern the loss of information in human mind after death deserves attention as
well. In striking analogy with the physics of a black hole, the near-death experiences (NDE) occur just before
one’s life-hole’s event horizon (i.e. point of no return). After recovery from an NDE one admits that instantlythe whole life passes through one’s eyes / minds, like a speeded up movie film. Scientists invest billions ofdollars to detect the Higgs boson, or the “God’s particle” , as dubbed by its fans. Yet the same scientists ask
for the ‘spiriton’, the element of human spirit to be seen free of charge!.
A photon (i.e. light quantum) materializes, under certain conditions, into virtual pair of electron-
positron which are IDs. Physicists have devised ways to detect these virtual particles so that they are in fact
‘real’. They have specific mass, char ge, spin but more interestingly they ‘know’, from birth to death, how toobey the intricate quantum laws. The parent photon is also equally an ID; altogether the trio, (i.e. photon,
electron and positron) ‘orchestrate’ the whole quantum electrodynamics (QED) symphony which governs avast proportion of our world. Recall also that specific photons from unspecific origins, divine/mundane
according to religious/scientist, impinge on our brains, initiate or modify our thoughts to shape our fate. With
their tachyonic (i.e. faster than light) polarizations the entangled photons have the potential to revolutionize
our whole computer world. To quote R.P. Feynman’s scientific honesty, “ no one understands the details of
all these things”!. Virtual particles leading to temporary violation of certain ‘sacred’ physical laws, ghost photons, mass without mass, Dirac sea, creation – annihilation of particles, infinite self-energies, are some ofthe key, albeit strange concepts that physicists under the subject of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) deal with.
Who knows, may be this is the way that God creates something from nothing. Whether we say God makes it,
or quantum laws make it, does it differ?. If particles with sophisticated information crop up from the vacuum
what prevents their higher ID combinations, such as atoms, molecules, DNA etc?. Aren’t the vacuumoddities rich enough to create more and serve as a carpet to sweep our dirts (problems) under?. God’screation of the most famous ID pair, namely Adam – Eve in His own (proper) frame instantly, in higherdimensional spaces may take – according to Einstein – b(m)illions of years in Charles Darwin’s earth boundframe. These two apparently conflicting views are according to religion/science, respectively, and they are in
fact complementary. This applies also to the 6000 years of Biblical count. After all isn’t time relative? Basedon this fact each evolution is a slowed down process of creation whereas life itself is a slow death process.And to be fair to the religious, intelligent designing plus godly soul must both be contributing in this process,
otherwise blind chance has no room in religion. “Chance”, they say, is a word existing only in dictionaries.With death, the human soul transmigrates through a wormhole type no – return channel into a higherdimensional world (i.e. to where it came from), remaining entangled yet to our world in some way that may
explain mysterious phenomena. (Recall that virtual wormholes also can be created from our endless
vacuum). I suggest that everyone must make a simple account of oneself: huge information stored in our
minds plus deeds of lifelong experiences, from cradle to grave, all will perish with death!. How can life be so
aimless? Doesn’t passage to an abstract space of higher dimensionality sound more logical as a requirementof conservation laws and accountability? Unlike Alice, however, in this passage many souls may not enjoy
wonderlands! Given its severe limitations in an infinitely large universe, why should one accept the motto of
science which states that, ‘anything undetectable by scientific means can’t exist’? Or why to highlight theclaim, ‘no phenomenon is a phenomenon, unless it is a detected phenomenon’ to its extremes? Who can claimthat life forms beyond the light barrier don’t exist; and how about if the human’s intrinsic soul is in thatcategory?. No scientific proof is available for such scenarios that will continue occupying the human mind
forever, true, but anyone to disprove them?. Mankind has infinite weaknesses that necessitate an infinite
source of power to derive support from. That indispensable, singular source is called God, and with sciences
and arts we must listen also to the hearts. If not, myriad of substitute gods will be devised, ‘science’ beingone of them.
