It's energy, it has to go somewhere and do something. Maybe it just gets burnt off as heat. But if those impulses somehow remain as they were in some form of an energy ball or whatever, couldn't "afterlife" just be us stuck in our own conciousness for eternity?
I think conversations about a potential afterlife can have a base in science and don't need Heaven's Gates or angels or whatever to exist in order for the energy of our mind be conserved in some way.
Anyways this is the science thread so I won't bog it down. Continue on! I like this thread.

Afterlife would be "supernatural" so in other words a pile of BS since in the history of mankind neither has ever happened except in fairy-tales.
Every living thing with a brain (animals,fish,insects..etc) has a memory/consciousness..it is a function needed to survive. hell, some scientists claim plants have it too.
And you don't even need to die to loose your memory or consciousness, a brain injury or even alzheimer's can end both.
