Carroll, a cosmologist and physics professor at the California Institute of Technology, has devoted a significant amount of effort to studying the laws of physics..
According to Carroll, his stance on the possibility of life after death is based on the premise that 'the laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood.' He argues that everything falls within the purview of these laws.
For the concept of an afterlife to hold, consciousness would have to exist in a state entirely separate from our physical bodies. However, according to Carroll, this conflicts with the laws of physics as we know them.
According to his perspective, he believes that life after death is 'impossible.'
Carroll explains, 'The laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood.'
For there to be an afterlife, the theory hinges on the assumption that human consciousness is separate from our bodies.
However, from a scientific standpoint, consciousness is thought to result from atoms and electrons rather than a soul.
Dr Carroll continued: "Claims that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decay into their constituent atoms face one huge, insuperable obstacle.
"The laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood. And there's no way within those laws to allow for the information stored in our brains to persist after we die."
Additionally, he also points to the Quantum Field Theory (QFT) as evidence against the existence of an afterlife where the souls of the departed would go.
According to this theory, each type of particle has a field within the universe, including one for photons, another for electrons, and an additional one for every type of particle.
However, according to quantum tests, no 'spirit' particles have been discovered, which leads to the nonexistence of an afterlife.
Crucially, no 'spirit' particles have been detected through quantum experiments, undermining the possibility of an afterlife.
While this information might be discouraging for some believers, there are individuals who assert having undergone near-death experiences and claim to have encountered life after death.
However, some people who consider themselves 'true atheists' have reported a near-death experience that changed their entire view of life and death.
One person said: I don't believe in the all-powerful god creator of all because if there is one they've got a sick twisted sense of humor! However, when my gran passed in the middle of the night I woke up to find her standing at the foot of my bed saying goodbye, then A few hours later when we got the call from the care home I already knew what it was about without being told
Another wrote: I think there are things we just don't understand yet, scientists can't explain what's in a black hole for example. There are cases of children growing up thinking they are someone else, have memories of a past life, and, when they investigated it, there was a person of that name and things happened just like in their dreams with absolutely no connection to them or any way they could have known that info.
Someone else said: Then definitely the scientists would disprove of supernatural force that is Good Almighty, science has failed to understand God and His Grand design, let alone answer life after death, human senses are just limited and cannot discern the true purpose of this universe.
