Since the beginning of time, humans have asked the question: “What happens to us after we die?”.
Religious or spiritual people often believe in a heaven or afterlife. Some believe that nothing happens to us; we just die. Others, however, believe that our souls live on after we die. A couple of researchers say that they have the science to that this might be a possibility. (1)
The Soul Doesn’t Die When Our Bodies Do
After extensive research, two experts are saying that while our bodies die, our consciousness – or our soul – lives on forever. Quantum mechanics, they say, makes this possible. Quantum mechanics is the science dealing with the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic levels. It accounts for the properties of molecules and atoms, and the things that make them.

Neurons
Electrons
Protons
Quarks
Gluons
Other esoteric particles
Scientists Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose say consciousness is simply information stored at this quantum level. (1)
Orchestrated Objective Reduction
The pair say that this storage process is Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR). This is via a structural component of human cells, protein-based microtubules, that carry quantum information. (1, 3)
“Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing; the micro-tubules lose their quantum state,” explains Dr. Hameroff. “The quantum information within the micro-tubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.” (1)
He says that if the person is resuscitated, then the information just goes back into the microtubules, and the person becomes conscious again. This is what we call a “near-death experience.” If, instead, the patient dies, then their consciousness can possibly exist outside of the body as a soul. (1)
Our Physical Universe Is Just Our Perception
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich say that there is an infinite beyond after death. According to them, the world we live in is just our perception and that our souls go into this infinite beyond when our bodies die. (1)
“What we consider the here and now, this world, it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible,” says Dr Hans-Peter Durr from the institute. “The beyond is an infinite reality that is much bigger.” (1)
Hameroff and Penrose’s research shows that consciousness comes from deeper level microtubule vibrations. This not only helps us to better understand what the human consciousness is, but may also help treat mental, neurological, and cognitive conditions. (3)
What do you think? Do you think our souls live on after we die?
Celebrating 81 years of Dynasty’s Krystle Carrington: Check out her current look!
The American soap opera “Dynasty” captured audiences worldwide in the 1980s, drawing viewers in with its compelling drama and complex relationships among characters like Blake Carrington, his wife Krystle Carrington, their children, and Blake’s ex-wife Alexis. The saga of the affluent Carrington family kept thousands glued to their screens, making the actors of “Dynasty” household names. Even today, many cherish the memories of this iconic series.
“Dynasty” was groundbreaking for its era, featuring intense power struggles, romantic conflicts, and sibling rivalries. The 1980s, characterized by bold colors, glamour, and extravagant hairstyles, provided the perfect backdrop for this opulent series.
At the heart of its success were the unforgettable performances of the cast, particularly Linda Evans and Joan Collins, who portrayed the fierce rivalry between Krystle and Alexis. Linda Evans embodied Krystle Grant Jennings Carrington, a character often seen as the heart of the show. Having started from the series’ inception, Evans received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series in 1982 for her role.
Reflecting on her journey, Evans once said: “That role was the answer to a prayer. I had just separated from my second husband and was uncertain about my future. I had never aimed to be an actress; I wanted to be a wife and mother. But at 39, I decided to pursue my career, and soon after, ‘Dynasty’ came along”.
Evans found a kindred spirit in Krystle, who sought love over wealth, embodying the same desires Evans had in her own life. Before her fame on “Dynasty”, Evans had already made a name for herself as “Audra” in the 1960s western series “The Big Valley” alongside Barbara Stanwyck.
After the series wrapped, Evans faced personal challenges, including depression following the illness of loved ones. In a 2016 interview, she described this period: “My life was in pieces. I struggled to understand my depression, and my health suffered”.
Although she stepped away from acting after 1997, Evans made a notable return in the 2021 film “Swan Song”. “I’m in love with this movie”, she shared. “It’s remarkable to be working at 78, but as I say: ‘Anything is possible’.”
Now at 81, Evans continues to inspire fans, reminding us of the enduring legacy of “Dynasty” and its beloved characters.
