Quantum physics proves that there IS an afterlife, claims scientist

His theory of biocentrism, however, explains that death may not be as terminal as we think it is.
Biocentrism is classed as the theory of everything and comes from the Greek for 'life centre'.
It is the believe that life and biology are central to reality and that life creates the universe, not the other way round.
This suggests a person's consciousness determines the shape and size of objects in the universe.
Lanza uses the example of the way we perceive the world around us. A person sees a blue sky, and is told that the colour they are seeing is blue, but the cells in a person's brain could be changed to make the sky look green or red.

Our consciousness makes sense of the world, and can be altered to change this interpretation.
By looking at the universe from a biocentric's point of view, this also means space and time don't behave in the hard and fast ways our consciousness tell us it does.
In summary, space and time are 'simply tools of our mind.'
Once this theory about space and time being mental constructs is accepted, it means death and the idea of immortality exist in a world without spatial or linear boundaries.
Theoretical physicists believe that there is infinite number of universes with different variations of people, and situations taking place, simultaneously.
Lanza added that everything which can possibly happen is occurring at some point across these multiverses and this means death can't exist in 'any real sense' either.
Lanza, instead, said that when we die our life becomes a 'perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.'
'Bottom line: What you see could not be present without your consciousness,' explained Lanza. 'Our consciousness makes sense of the world.'

Lanza cites the double-slit test, pictured, to backup his claims. When scientists watch a particle pass through two slits, the particle goes through one slit or the other. If a person doesn't watch it, it acts like a wave and can go through both slits simultaneously. This means its behaviour changes based on a person's perception
In the experiment, when scientists watch a particle pass through two slits in a barrier, the particle behaves like a bullet and goes through one slit or the other.
Yet if a person doesn't watch the particle, it acts like a wave.
This means it can go through both slits at the same time.
This demonstrates that matter and energy can display characteristics of both waves and particles, and that the behaviour of the particle changes based on a person's perception and consciousness.

He continued: 'Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking. When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix.'

Robert Lanza - BIOCENTRISM
CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER OF OCATA THERAPEUTICS (formerly Advanced Cell
Technology)
Could This Theory Provide a Glimpse of Our Ultimate Destiny?
Have you ever wondered what it’s really all about? How does this little life of
ours fits into the larger picture — into a reality so huge the Universe itself
is but a speck?
Evolutionary biology suggests life has progressed from a one dimensional
reality, to two dimensions to three dimensions, and there’s no reason to think
the evolution of life stops there.
We go to and fro our affairs, baking cookies and digging up Sarah Palin bikini
pictures, unaware of just how massively primitive our understanding of life and
existence really is. Biocentrism, a new theory of everything, suggests we’re so
far off the mark we might as well be reading comic books instead of textbooks on
evolutionary biology or quantum physics. We peer out at the edge of the universe
with our radiotelescopes, yet it’s only recently that scientists have started to
question a worldview that stretches back to the beginning of civilization. It’s
time to say goodbye to this old paradigm.
In the 18th century, Immanuel Kant declared space and time were properties of
the mind. More recently, Einstein acknowledged “the distinction between past,
present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” According to
biocentrism, space and time are biological constructs, suggesting there are
other information systems that correspond to other realities based on logic
completely different from ours. These algorithms are the key to consciousness
and why space and time and the properties of matter are relative to the observer.
Biocentrism suggests they’re not the only tools to experience reality. Although
we experience a world of up and down, these algorithms could be changed so that
instead of time being linear, it was for instance, 3-dimensional like space.
Your consciousness would move through the multiverse, and you could walk through
time like you walk through space.
Everything you experience is information occurring in your head. Space and time
are just our way of making sense of things. They’re not objects, but rather the
software that like in a DVD player, molds information into multidimensional
experience. We take for granted how our mind weaves everything together. Even in
dreams, it generates a reality, replete with a functioning body that interacts
with a surrounding physical environment. Although a mental fabrication, you’re
able to think and experience sensations just as real as you do now.
If you add that everything physically possible has to happen (as many physicists
believe), what does that mean about our ultimate destiny? Where does your life
and consciousness begin and end? It seems simple invertebrates may only
experience existence in one dimension of space. Evolutionary biology suggests
that life has progressed from a one dimensional reality, to two dimensions to
three dimensions, and there’s no reason to think the evolution of life stops
there. Ultimately, consciousness runs upward by insensible degrees from the
lowest forms of life through to vertebrate existence, and far beyond us to
extracorporeal (transcendental) existences that we can’t even begin to fathom.
Although we experience them piece by piece, like the songs on a record, they
represent parts of a unitary reality that exists outside the classical divisions
of space and time.
It’s time to embrace this broader vision of reality. This became clear to me one
afternoon, when as a boy, a small cottontail rabbit ran by me. There was nothing
remarkable in that; nor did I think it unusual when he stopped a moment, holding
up his paws and looking at me with the curious glance of the White Rabbit, as if
to say, “Why, Robert, what are you doing out here?” But when the creature looked
into my eyes and twitched its whiskers, I felt the Élan Vital in him, a certain
sense of consciousness that cut across space. Then it ran off, and I too. You
see, there was a joining, a projection of desires across the species boundary.
For just a moment, I could feel the guide hairs on the back of my neck, even as
the rabbit might have felt them himself.
Some people will say the sun was hot upon me that day, and that I shouldn’t
burden my readers with this affair. They don’t think there’s any other
explanation left. However, you’ve probably heard about the two-hole experiment,
the quantum Zeno effect, and other experiments that suggest the structure of the
physical world is influenced by human observation. The results of these
experiments are fantastic, I agree. But when quantum physics was in its early
days, even some physicists dismissed the findings as impossible. It’s curious to
recall Einstein’s reaction to the experiments: “I know this business is free of
contradictions, yet in my view it contains a certain unreasonableness.” Yet
later he admitted quantum mechanics doesn’t contain any logical contradictions
and is logically unexceptionable. Maybe so, but I’ve spent my entire career
studying the basis of life. I have faith in life, not a set of equations.
No doubt the equations are right, but perhaps it’s wiser to interpret nature in
terms of life rather than in terms of wave functions. To me, my interaction with
the creature that inhabited that field was more complicated, and will in the end
penetrate closer to the secret of the universe than any experiment that ever was
carried out in a laboratory. As I have grown older, I have found myself puzzling
over that little episode. Somewhere in it, I was sure, lay the secret,
It was only with the fall of objectivity that scientists began to consider again
the old question of comprehending the world as a form of mind. Einstein, on a
walk home, asked Abraham Pais if he really believed the moon existed only if he
looked at it. Since that time, physicists have revised their equations in a vain
attempt to arrive at a statement of natural laws that doesn’t depend on the
circumstances of the observer. But in these days of disconnected theory, one
point seems certain: the nature of the universe can’t be divorced from the
nature of life itself. Indeed, quantum theory implies consciousness must exist,
and that the content of the mind is the ultimate reality. Only an act of
observation can confer shape and form to reality — to a dandelion in a meadow or
a seed pod.
But that’s not all. The late physicist Heinz Pagels once commented: “If you deny
the objectivity of the world unless you observe it and are conscious of it (as
most physicists have), then you end up with solipsism — the belief that your
consciousness is the only one.” This may not unsettle you, except perhaps if you
were standing in a meadow when everything was bathed in such pure light. But
there I was, the creature a few rods off, its eyes fixed on mine.
I knew then that Pagel’s conclusion about solipsism was right. Only it wasn’t my
consciousness that was the only one, it was ours. There was no doubt; that
consciousness which was behind the youth I once was, was also behind the rabbit.
Aye, behind the mind of every creature existing in space and time, and beyond
them to intelligences in other realities we can’t fathom. “There are,” wrote
Loren Eiseley “very few youths today who will pause, coming from a biology class,
to finger a yellow flower or poke in friendly fashion at a sunning turtle on the
edge of the campus pond, and who are capable of saying to themselves, ‘We are
all one — all melted together.’”
Yes, I thought, we’re all one. There was a crackling of some twigs, and I jumped
up in alarm. In another moment I popped down the large rabbit-hole under the
rock. Down, down, down into a world of the unfathomable.
