Now, as they believed that death is death, but that those who believe will be resurrected at the end of times, and as early christians believed that Jesus had thrown out the gates of heaven so that believers in him go to heaven at once not on day of judgement meaning that day of judgement is for others; the alternative to believing in God or obeying God is then death - if one follows the original Jewish believes and the early church believes. So hell = death. This is probably not wrong in that as I understand it Hell was a Jewish word for a shallow grave. Now, since then believes in what happens, have evolved. But these as far as I can see are the original versions. But of course, in science, what people believe is usually only of secondary importance. The key is always what are the data and what is observed. I suspect that due to the Egyptian experience of the Jews, they doubtless assimilated more than a few ideas of the early Egyptians who appear to the first people to really try to study the physics of death. Their conclusions which are still widely accepted by mystics and churches today were that life exists in more than just three dimensions. Your body and other possessions exist in these three obvious dimensions, but there is evidence of the reality of a manifold of more dimensions. In those dimensions there appears to exist sort of duplicates of you physical body as well as you mind. Hence when the physical body dies the other dimensional bodies go on animated by your same mind which also exists in other dimensions apart from the physical brain. All of this is what led Egyptians to have such an emphasis on attempting to preserve the physical body on death through mummification etc. Typically "science" denies the existence of such ultra-dimensional structures. It takes the rather narrow view that three dimensions are all there are and therefore the only logical conclusion is that life-after-death (of the physical) is impossible. Quite frankly there is MUCH evidence or at minimum HINTS that this view is simply wrong. Physics is finally starting to begin to take seriously the possibility of hyper-dimensionality. And of course once you admit that, the whole can of worms is opened up. And of course all this doesn't even begin to approach the effects of mind over matter as it's called. The bottom line is that given an admission of the possibility of a physical mind in communication with the higher- dimensional "mind" of a person whose physical body has died, the possible effects of so-called "prayer" certainly do not seem so ridiculous. What in hell was the question again? |

What in hell was the question again? LOL, ok. The question is then about what kind of an universe we live in. Now, string theorists tend to reckon with 9 dimensions, they assume usually to be collapsed to a point. But, an alternative would be that instead they are all around us, all 9 of them...it being just that we are only equipped to sence in 3 dimensions, meaning that the rest are simply invisible to us in the same way that a 3 dimension would be invisible to a being living in a 2 dimensional existence. Now, ghosts to name an example might be 3 dimesnional shadows of a 4 dimensional being/precense, being near us in space but invisible to our 3 dimensional sences only its shadow being seen by us. Angels, likewice might have a 4 dimensional exhistence, only being fleetilly indirectly wisible in theyr shadow. Perhaps all of exhistence has really existed forever, meaning there are infinite 3 dimensional universes within the 4 dimension and they moreover are forming all of the time. That would mean that all types would exist and at all ages, both living and dead. Perhaps dark matter is 4 dimensional matter, which structure can only be perceived from a 4 dimensional perspective.

He should've read the manual first and known how to use the active cruise control radar, the head up display and infrared camera. Just set the active cruise control to 155, then place both feet ....on the floor..and let the computers do the rest. The long range far infrared camera extends the range of the adaptive headlights from about 150 to 300 meters with the extra 150 meters displayed on a 7 inch screen in the dash. At about 250-300 meters the radar in the active cruise control would've spotted the embankment, began displaying the embankment on the head up display, encased the object in yellow once it's been locked on, then in red when it becomes a collision threat. Once it has, a large red triangular collision warning is flashed on the head up display, while calculating and automatically applying the amount of braking, up to full lock, needed to slow to under 40 mph before returning control of the brakes and throttle back to the driver. In short, he should have known how to use the 'auto pilot'. He probably would've stopped in time. All M-5s are speed limited to 155 mph so to not exceed their capabilities. 250 to 300 meters should be enough distance to stop from 155, as 60 to 0 is about 110 feet. The kids supposedly snuck in, BMW thought about that too as the night vision is kept disabled unless the headlights are on. To qualify for a Darwin Award, the candidate needs to engineer their own death, not merely achieve it through stupidity. Sylvia. |
