In ancient times, people believed in the existence of an afterlife, when dying on earth, a person is reborn and lives in a completely different world. The development of mankind, scientific discoveries and technological achievements have led to the fact that the belief in the existence of heaven and hell, parallel worlds, the afterlife has been shaken and now there are many theories about what actually happens after death, but there is no exact evidence for this or that statement.
And this time, one professor Robert Lanz declared that death is not the end of life – it is only the beginning of a new one, in another world, different from ours.
Professor Lanz and his colleagues came to the conclusion that the death of the physical body does not interrupt a person's consciousness, it is transferred to a parallel world and continues to live, but in a completely different reality and shell (body). According to scientists, various descriptions of the afterlife that are found in different religious cultures are not groundless, and the existence of heaven, hell, and other worlds is quite possible.
According to a group of specialists from the University of Carolina under the leadership of Professor Lanz, the consciousness of each person after the death of the physical shell is reborn in another shell, and life can continue both on earth and in a parallel world.
It is worth noting that the version about the existence of life in other dimensions was put forward by scientists for a reason, according to them, the proof of this are various creatures that appear on our planet, however, they have remained unknown to science and the general public, for example, mermaids, yeti, the Loch Ness monster, etc. Professor Lanz is sure that all these creatures are representatives of other worlds. But all this is just an assumption and Lanz's research group did not provide 100% confirmation of their theory, but another study by American scientists, conducted a couple of years ago, partly corresponds to Lanz's statement. Thus, specialists from Australia and the USA came to the conclusion that parallel worlds really exist, in addition, they are in constant interaction with each other. According to the researchers, their theory can explain various phenomena that periodically occurred or are occurring on our planet.
According to experts, the interaction of the Universes occurs according to a very complex principle, which may be based on repulsion. Scientists also noted that parallel worlds may well exist separately.
By the way, Professor Lanz had already declared the immortality of the soul about a year ago, which caused a lot of controversy in the scientific community. Lanz then stated that the human soul is reborn, and human life can be compared to a perennial plant. To confirm his theory, Lanz and like-minded scientists used the theory of biocentrism and conducted the Jung experiment (observation of light particles penetrating through a screen with holes).
As a result, scientists have established that the same particle behaves differently, as if these were two completely different entities. According to scientists, people, objects that surround us are only a consequence of the work of our subconscious and the peculiarities of our perception of this world.
But, whatever happens, what awaits us after death remains a mystery to this day, which may not be solved anytime soon.
