Replicate what?
Did you know nde experiences and lsd experiences almost mirror each other?
So LSD can be explained by biochemistry and neuroscience so if that can replicate near death experiences what the heck is your proof then?
So what is your metaphysical explanation of how a car works?
Yeah, and have you noticed that western science is what's globally excepted as the gold standard because there is no empirical evidence to support these claims? Also, near death experiences have been replicated in a centrifuge that astronauts undergo, and it's been demonstrated that a lot of it is linked to neuroscience.
1. Physiological Factors: During life-threatening situations, the brain undergoes various physiological changes. Decreased oxygen supply to the brain (hypoxia), increased levels of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia), and neurotransmitter imbalances can lead to altered states of consciousness, including hallucinations and dissociative experiences. These physiological changes can contribute to the vivid and unusual experiences reported during NDEs.
2. Neurochemical Changes: Some researchers propose that NDEs may be triggered by the release of endogenous chemicals in the brain, such as endorphins, dopamine, or glutamate, in response to stress or trauma. These neurotransmitters can affect perception, cognition, and emotions, leading to the subjective experiences reported during NDEs.
3. Temporal Lobe Activity: Studies have shown that temporal lobe epilepsy and stimulation of the temporal lobes can induce experiences similar to NDEs, including feelings of detachment from the body, tunnel vision, and encounters with spiritual beings. It's hypothesized that abnormal activity in the temporal lobes, which are involved in processing sensory information and memory, may contribute to NDEs.
4. Psychological Factors: Psychological mechanisms, such as cognitive processing of near-death events, coping strategies, cultural influences, and prior beliefs, can shape individuals' interpretations of their experiences during life-threatening situations. Psychological factors can influence the content and interpretation of NDEs, leading to variations in reported experiences across different cultures and belief systems.
5. Integration of Multisensory Inputs: Some researchers suggest that NDEs may result from the brain's attempt to integrate fragmented sensory inputs and memories during periods of physiological stress or trauma. The brain may construct coherent narratives or symbolic representations based on sensory fragments, memories, and cultural expectations, leading to the rich and often profound experiences reported during NDEs.

Maybe western science is accepted because it actually has verifiable evidence to its claims and it's also produced a lot of medicine and technology

Did you know nde experiences and lsd experiences almost mirror each other?
Yeah, and I bring up your backgrounds not to be a dick, but I bring it up because you're saying I read this
one person's literature and therefore western science is wrong and metaphysics, which has no verifiable empirical evidence is true. Not everything that Newton said was completely accurate, but he was still a genius. You're only quoting one person and the entire scientific community seems to be against this. And it's not some secret dogma or some elaborate plan. The scientific method requires
evidence and repeatability. Empirical evidence.

Have you ever heard the saying extraordinary claims is require extraordinary evidence?
Again, LSD can actually be explained by pathways in the brain and chemical receptors.
