After the death of his old friend,
Albert Einstein said “Now Besso has departed from this strange world a little
ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us … know that the distinction
between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
New evidence continues to suggest
that Einstein was right – death is an illusion.
Our classical way of thinking is
based on the belief that the world has an objective observer-independent
existence. But a long list of experiments shows just the opposite. We think
life is just the activity of carbon and an admixture of molecules – we live
awhile and then rot into the ground.
