What happens when you die?

Despite our mostly science-based beliefs about death these days, many of us seem to believe in life after death. In a 2014 Telegraph poll of British citizens, nearly 60 percent said they believed some of us were still alive. In 2015, Pew Research asked people what happened to them after they died in the United States, which remains a heavily Christian country. A poll found that 72 percent of Americans believe they will go to Heaven, which is described as "a place where those who live a good life are forever rewarded." Fifty-four percent of U.S. adults say they believe in hell, which is described as "a place where those who live a bad life and die without regrets are punished forever."

Many people seem to believe that after death they may find themselves in a cloud-covered paradise. Or vice versa. If we do not adhere to the ethics dictated by our chosen religion or sect of that religion, we may face severe consequences. You'll be crouching in front of eternal hellfire and a lean man with a beard who barely puts down his pitchfork. But let's start with empirical realism and what happens to our bodies when we die. Doctors know you are dead because your heart has stopped beating and your brain has no electrical activity. Brain death means death, but machines can live a little longer. You may also experience so-called cardiac death when your heart stops beating and blood stops flowing through your body. What's strange, even miraculous, is that people who have experienced cardiac death and come back to life say they know what's going on around them. Some people have said that they walked towards the light during such near-death experiences. They can be brought back to life from so-called clinical death, but the grace period is only about 4-6 minutes. But suppose you reach and pass through the light. That's what we call biological death - game over, end-of-game whistle, dying like a dodo. It's a bit of a shame here, but you're dead anyway. When you are not with us, the muscles relax, which means the sphincters also relax. That means the triple wow you had for lunch and the big fire popping out of you - the gas inside you can also leak out and cause a bad smell. The same is true for urine in the bladder. So, of course, dying is quite a hassle. And if he's a man, he might even ejaculate. In the case of women, if they are pregnant, they can give birth after death, and this is called "confining". However, it doesn't happen often. Instead of pushing, the gas in the abdomen pushes the newborn out into the world. When a substance trapped inside the body is expelled, the mouth may make a clicking sound as the air escapes. Nurses and people working near the corpses regularly report hearing very animated moans and groans from the corpses. You may twitch, but that doesn't mean there's life inside you, it's just the muscles contracting. Also, if you die lying face down with blood dripping down, you can still get an erection right away. All blood collects in specific areas of the body. This is called "post-mortem post-mortem" and it's why you get the deep purple color you see on TV. These are great things that can happen right after your departure. When blood stops flowing through the body, the body begins to cool down. This is known as "rigor mortis" or simply "death cold". It will continue to cool until it reaches the ambient temperature. It hardens in about 2 to 6 hours, and this is called rigor mortis. This is because calcium enters muscle cells. Without blood flow, cells are destroyed, leading to bacterial growth and destruction. It may look like your hair and nails have grown, but it doesn't. What happens is that the skin recedes and appears to grow. The skin also loosens and blisters form on the body. The next stage is putrefaction, where bacteria and microbes start feeding. Pretty soon you'll start smelling as bad as you ever imagined when you were alive. One person described the smell as "rotten eggs, feces, 1000 times more than a used toilet that has been sitting there for a month. It's not sacred." Anything soft will quickly liquefy, leaving things like bones, streaks, and hair strong. If buried in the ground, it is already on its way to decay. However, if embalmed and buried, the decay process can be slowed. If left on the ground, it becomes a liquid mess that is eaten by insects, maggots, plants, and, animals within about a month. Some experts estimate that it could take 8 to 12 years to become a skeleton underground. After about 50 years, bones will also become part of the earth. I should add that the rate of degradation depends on all sorts of factors, too many to list here. But I think you get the point too. Some people report that their near-death experience was an unforgettable one, but that's not always the case. One person posting on Reddit described his experience as follows: "It was just black emptiness. No thoughts, no consciousness, nothing." French philosopher René Descartes Kurt, like many other philosophers, believed that the soul was separate from the body.
