Personally I believe it will be one of two things:

either we completely cease to exist and our consciousness disintegrates into complete nothingness, kinda like before you were born(?).

Or, we somehow get reincarnated as a random lifeform. I find it hard to believe that I've only existed once during the billions of years our universe has existed. There could also be an infinite number of universes that we just don't know of, and possibly something beyond that as well. As far as I know the possibilities are endless.

I hope for the former, but I wouldn't be so surprised if the latter happens. It makes sense that if the universe should reform long after its heat death, the stuff that made up 'me' might turn into something else....

I like the thought of being reborn as an elf in a magical fantasy world where I could experience life once again, but without suffering. I want a second chance at life so that I will know what it feels like to truly live and be alive.
Probably nothingness
Yup, I'd wager that as well.

I'm really fond of the one part of a talk by a philosopher where he says that the earth is one conscious that's all interconnected- like one being and we are all just tiny pieces of it. So before we were born, we existed in everything, and after we die we return back to the earth.

It's not like reincarnation though. Sorta like we are all just glasses of water floating on a bigger body of water and when we die our glass gets poured back in so when u scoop up another glass it's a whole different person... Does that make sense? I don't know.

Anyways- we came from nothing and we return to nothing but our conciousness remains in pieces in the earth and the plants and eventually maybe parts of our old consious will be recycled into new people.

Void/nothingness seems most rational to me but given the fact that we exist might also imply the possibility that we could be reincarnated but then what makes us "us"? Are we really stored just inside our brains? Then reincarnation might be bs and the dead are gone forever, what a sad thought.
I could also imagine that this is just a spiritual journey but i haven't seen real proof for that either

1. There is nothing.
2. You reincarnate.
3. In the universe everything is transformed, so the molecules will be transformed into something else (it does not have to be something with our intelligence)

But my favorite would be to be able to talk to the person responsible for all this and file a claim

I think "nothing", just like if you sleep (without dreaming) and never wake up.

The sad/scary part is that if you cbt perhaps you will never know if you died or not ... if you wake up, then you don't die ... if not, then you never know it.

It is such ironic that the only way to enjoy death is to be alive :S

The fact that there is something instead of nothing is intriging, but nevertheless the caotic randomness of life makes me thing that there is nothing. I'm unable to see another porpuse for a human life other then reproduction for the sake of the species. Everything we do is bound to that, unfortunatelly.

I observe. Take for exemple a tragedy that just occured in Brazil. About 180 people died due heavy rain recently. Amoung those, there were elderes, adults and childs. They are dead now, their lifes are interrupted, for nothing, just because it was heavy raining. That's just too random for me to intertain the possibility that there is more, or there is a higher power watching over us.

I have a hard time believing how religious people fail too see that randomness.

One of the things that keeps me from reincarnation is that all the evil suffered is because of the karma of your other lives.

I think it will be something like the near death experiences I have heard about (most likely)- floating out of your body, seeing a bright light that you somehow know is God, at some point getting a life review, and feeling an unconditional love more stro0ng than anything here on earth. BUt of course nde's vary, and the ones about hell are terrifying, and something like this might happen- that's the most terrifying thing.

We die, we go into nothingness like before our birth, that nothingness we can't perceive so to us it is over in the blink of an eye. We came from nothing and go to nothing so we have the same state as at the beginning of our existance so out of nothing we come again. If in the same body or a different one, I don't know. I personally believe we live our lives the same way over and over, but that depends on how deterministic you think the universe to be.

3,273,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 nm in the human brain now compare that to how many transistors in
Tesla D1 chip features 50,000,000,000 transistors we have along way to go

how many photons does the sun emit
1,383,279,502,884,197,169,399,375,105,820,974,944,592,307,816 photons/s

The team found that the amount of starlight, or the number of photons (particles of visible light) that stars have emitted throughout
the history of the observable universe is 4×10^84 photons. Or, alternatively,
4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 photons.
Photons Last At Least One Quintillion Years, New Study Of Light Particles Suggests. The particles that make up light, photons,
may live for at least 1 quintillion (1 billion multiplied by 1 billion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000) years,

how many atoms in the universe
There are between 10^78 to 10^82atoms in the observable universe. That's between ten quadrillion vigintillion and one-hundred thousand
quadrillion vigintillion atoms.

How long will stars exist in the universe?
Stars are expected to form normally for (1–100 trillion) years, but eventually the supply of gas needed for star formation will be exhausted. As existing stars run out of fuel and cease to shine, the universe will slowly and inexorably grow darker.

Your 12-foot-long fuel rod full of those uranium pellet, lasts about six years in a reactor, until the fission process uses that uranium fuel up

According to the NEA, identified uranium resources total 5.5 million metric tons, and an additional 10.5 million metric tons remain undiscovered—a roughly 230-year supply at today's consumption rate in total
If the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has accurately estimated the planet's economically accessible uranium resources, reactors could run more than 200 years at current rates of consumption.
Most of the 2.8 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity generated worldwide from nuclear power every year is produced in light-water reactors (LWRs) using low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. About 10 metric tons of natural uranium go into producing a metric ton of LEU, which can then be used to generate about 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, so present-day reactors require about 70,000 metric tons of natural uranium a year.

Ryzen Threadripper 3990X has 128MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.9 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.3 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X on a 7 nm production process using 3,800 million transistors.
threadripper 3990x transistor count 39.54 billion transistors

The result is that there have been 2,913,276,327,576,980,000,000 transistors shipped since the technology was invented 26 May 2014 . That's 2.9 sextillion. To put that number into perspective, there are only 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, and 100 trillion cells in the human body.

Each 7nm compute chiplet features ~3.9 billion transistors, while the 12nm I/O die has ~8.34 billion transistors. For the eight-CCD 3990X that yields a total of ~39.54 billion transistors spread out over an amazing ~1008 square millimeters of silicon.
The world's largest chip: 2.6 trillion transistors and 850000 cores cost 2million usd

IBM's new 2nm chip features about 333 million transistors per square millimeter (MTr/mm2).
For comparison, TSMC's most advanced chips, built using its 5nm process,
feature about 173 million transistors per square millimeter (MTr/mm2), while Samsung's 5nm chips feature about 127 MTr/mm2.

How many Megawatts are in a Gigawatt? The answer is one Gigawatt is equal to 1000 Megawatts.
A single gigawatt is 1000 megawatts or 1 billion watts.

For conventional generators, such as a coal plant, a megawatt of capacity will produce electricity that equates to about the same amount of electricity consumed by 400 to 900 homes in a year.

The main fuels used in nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium, both heavy isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium constitutes a tiny fraction of natural hydrogen, only 0,0153%, and can be extracted inexpensively from seawater. Tritium can be made from lithium, which is also abundant in nature.

Although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (three times as abundant as helium, the next most widely occurring element), it makes up only about 0.14 percent of Earth's crust by weight.
A single 500-MW fusion power plant is expected to require about 50 kilograms (kg) of tritium fuel per year

Tritium - $30,000 per gram. 50000 gram 50KG 1,500,000,000 usd 1.5usd billion
Non-renewable sources of hydrogen, such as oil and natural gas, are much cheaper, but using them still puts a drain on our fossil fuels supplies. Ironically, the carbon dioxide released in the process of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels cancels out any benefits to the environment.
Although hydrogen energy is renewable and has minimal environmental impact, other non-renewable sources such as coal, oil and natural gas are needed to separate it from oxygen. While the point of switching to hydrogen is to get rid of using fossil fuels, they are still needed to produce hydrogen fuel.

Hydrogen is an energy carrier and can be produced from a wide variety of sources. Hydrogen from renewables can be produced through various pathways, with the most established being the use of renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyser

Fusion energy could be the most cost-effective solution for clean baseload power, four times cheaper than nuclear, complementing the need to continue rolling out renewable energy technologies as fast as possible to achieve a zero carbon global energy system by 2050.

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics describes basic principles familiar in everyday life.
It is partially a universal law of decay; the ultimate cause of why everything ultimately
falls apart and disintegrates over time. Material things are not eternal.
Everything appears to change eventually, and chaos increases.
Nothing stays as fresh as the day one buys it; clothing becomes faded, threadbare,
and ultimately returns to dust.2 Everything ages and wears out. Even death is a manifestation of this law. The effects of the 2nd Law are all around, touching everything in the universe.

i'll think you'll find humans can never get free from their own minds we all die at some point within the next 100 years

a 'complexity brake': "The more we learn, the more we realize there is more to know, and the more we have to go back and revise our earlier understandings."

Light waves, radio waves and all of the other electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light—about 300,000,000 meters per second!

The galaxy of the Milky Way, if it were about 110,000 light-years in diameter (more recent research suggests it's even bigger than that).

The itsy bitsy blue dot is how far our radio signals have travelled from Earth - a diameter of about 200 light-years.

Space is super, duper big, and humanity's reach into it? It's super, duper small.

we've been leaking radio signals into space for over 100 years.

Many of those are probably garbled by the ionosphere. Even those that aren't (like Earth-space communications), by the time they're 100 light-years away, are so attenuated and weak that they're basically undetectable anyway.

If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second

I honestly think there will be nothing after death. It's just seems like the most logical conclusion given that we are not much different from animals. I think there was nothing before we were born so we would return to nothingness.

If there is some form afterlife though, it pleases me that it will most likely not be like any concept in mainstream religions. They are just too much flawed to be true.

Personally, I'd like to be reincarnated in universe very much different than ours. Probably something like world within our dreams. Such world would obey own absurd to us logic, but also be free of pain, suffering and endless competition I hate in our current world. Because only in my dreams I am able to have some semblance of happiness. But I realize it's just my wishful thinking.

Either way, I am certain that whatever happens after death, I would finally be free from suffering of our current world.

3,273,200,000,000,000,000,000,000 nm in the human brain now compare that to how many transistors in
Tesla D1 chip features 50,000,000,000 transistors we have along way to go

how many photons does the sun emit
1,383,279,502,884,197,169,399,375,105,820,974,944,592,307,816 photons/s

The team found that the amount of starlight, or the number of photons (particles of visible light) that stars have emitted throughout
the history of the observable universe is 4×10^84 photons. Or, alternatively,
4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 photons.
Photons Last At Least One Quintillion Years, New Study Of Light Particles Suggests. The particles that make up light, photons,
may live for at least 1 quintillion (1 billion multiplied by 1 billion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000) years,

how many atoms in the universe
There are between 10^78 to 10^82atoms in the observable universe. That's between ten quadrillion vigintillion and one-hundred thousand
quadrillion vigintillion atoms.

How long will stars exist in the universe?
Stars are expected to form normally for (1–100 trillion) years, but eventually the supply of gas needed for star formation will be exhausted. As existing stars run out of fuel and cease to shine, the universe will slowly and inexorably grow darker.

Your 12-foot-long fuel rod full of those uranium pellet, lasts about six years in a reactor, until the fission process uses that uranium fuel up

According to the NEA, identified uranium resources total 5.5 million metric tons, and an additional 10.5 million metric tons remain undiscovered—a roughly 230-year supply at today's consumption rate in total
If the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has accurately estimated the planet's economically accessible uranium resources, reactors could run more than 200 years at current rates of consumption.
Most of the 2.8 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity generated worldwide from nuclear power every year is produced in light-water reactors (LWRs) using low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. About 10 metric tons of natural uranium go into producing a metric ton of LEU, which can then be used to generate about 400 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, so present-day reactors require about 70,000 metric tons of natural uranium a year.

Ryzen Threadripper 3990X has 128MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.9 GHz by default, but can boost up to 4.3 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X on a 7 nm production process using 3,800 million transistors.
threadripper 3990x transistor count 39.54 billion transistors

The result is that there have been 2,913,276,327,576,980,000,000 transistors shipped since the technology was invented 26 May 2014 . That's 2.9 sextillion. To put that number into perspective, there are only 200 billion stars in the Milky Way, and 100 trillion cells in the human body.

Each 7nm compute chiplet features ~3.9 billion transistors, while the 12nm I/O die has ~8.34 billion transistors. For the eight-CCD 3990X that yields a total of ~39.54 billion transistors spread out over an amazing ~1008 square millimeters of silicon.
The world's largest chip: 2.6 trillion transistors and 850000 cores cost 2million usd

IBM's new 2nm chip features about 333 million transistors per square millimeter (MTr/mm2).
For comparison, TSMC's most advanced chips, built using its 5nm process,
feature about 173 million transistors per square millimeter (MTr/mm2), while Samsung's 5nm chips feature about 127 MTr/mm2.

10 Most Abundant Elements In Earth's Crust
Oxygen - 46.1%
Silicon - 28.2%
Aluminium - 8.23%
Iron - 5.63%
Calcium - 4.15%
Sodium - 2.36%
Magnesium - 2.33%
Potassium - 2.09%
Titanium - 0.565%
Hydrogen - 0.140%

How many Megawatts are in a Gigawatt? The answer is one Gigawatt is equal to 1000 Megawatts.
A single gigawatt is 1000 megawatts or 1 billion watts.

For conventional generators, such as a coal plant, a megawatt of capacity will produce electricity that equates to about the same amount of electricity consumed by 400 to 900 homes in a year.
on aravge 650 homes times 500 325,000 homes from one 500mw power plant 398,300,000

The main fuels used in nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium, both heavy isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium constitutes a tiny fraction of natural hydrogen, only 0,0153%, and can be extracted inexpensively from seawater. Tritium can be made from lithium, which is also abundant in nature.

Although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe (three times as abundant as helium, the next most widely occurring element), it makes up only about 0.14 percent of Earth's crust by weight.
A single 500-MW fusion power plant is expected to require about 50 kilograms (kg) of tritium fuel per year

Tritium - $30,000 per gram. 50000 gram 50KG 1,500,000,000 usd 1.5usd billion
Non-renewable sources of hydrogen, such as oil and natural gas, are much cheaper, but using them still puts a drain on our fossil fuels supplies. Ironically, the carbon dioxide released in the process of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels cancels out any benefits to the environment.
Although hydrogen energy is renewable and has minimal environmental impact, other non-renewable sources such as coal, oil and natural gas are needed to separate it from oxygen. While the point of switching to hydrogen is to get rid of using fossil fuels, they are still needed to produce hydrogen fuel.

Hydrogen is an energy carrier and can be produced from a wide variety of sources. Hydrogen from renewables can be produced through various pathways, with the most established being the use of renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyser

Fusion energy could be the most cost-effective solution for clean baseload power, four times cheaper than nuclear, complementing the need to continue rolling out renewable energy technologies as fast as possible to achieve a zero carbon global energy system by 2050.

A MWh equals 1,000 kilowatt hours Ó enough to supply the average power requirement for around 2000 homes for an hour.

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics describes basic principles familiar in everyday life.
It is partially a universal law of decay; the ultimate cause of why everything ultimately
falls apart and disintegrates over time. Material things are not eternal.
Everything appears to change eventually, and chaos increases.
Nothing stays as fresh as the day one buys it; clothing becomes faded, threadbare,
and ultimately returns to dust.2 Everything ages and wears out. Even death is a manifestation of this law. The effects of the 2nd Law are all around, touching everything in the universe.

i'll think you'll find humans can never get free from their own minds we all die at some point within the next 100 years

a 'complexity brake': "The more we learn, the more we realize there is more to know, and the more we have to go back and revise our earlier understandings."

Light waves, radio waves and all of the other electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light—about 300,000,000 meters per second!

The galaxy of the Milky Way, if it were about 110,000 light-years in diameter (more recent research suggests it's even bigger than that).

The itsy bitsy blue dot is how far our radio signals have travelled from Earth - a diameter of about 200 light-years.

Space is super, duper big, and humanity's reach into it? It's super, duper small.

we've been leaking radio signals into space for over 100 years.

Many of those are probably garbled by the ionosphere. Even those that aren't (like Earth-space communications), by the time they're 100 light-years away, are so attenuated and weak that they're basically undetectable anyway.

If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second

In my 50's now. Raised as a Catholic. Discounted all that as bullshit at 12 and started off on a spiritual quest.

I do believe in Buddhist doctrine these days, but I'd hesitate to call myself a Buddhist.

There's a lot of empirical scientific evidence to prove that reincarnation is a thing outside of religious belief, the main source being Dr. Ian Stevenson's work.

I did regression hypnosis, and couldn't believe how stupid 'I' was in my past lives. I don't think could have been friends with any of those people!

In short, it all comes down to the First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

I believe consciousness is such an energy, but ego and id are disposable constructs that get discarded upon death.

Personally I think that to an extent I don't really know what happens, I think that we either return to nothingness which is very possible. I believe its possible that our existence could continue on in another way. I've had many unexplainable experiences in my life that has made me question if there is a continuation of existence, Im sure that whatever it is, its better than this.
