He didn't answer that question, Shell.

That's something worth investigating. Why would an EEG have already been set up?
I would like to see the guy's medical reports. To help confirm a few things.
Sounds like a set up. Be nice if we could repeat this in a lab and try and confirm all this scientifically.
Because all we have here is a claim/hearsay but no support.
Also if the brain isn't active, it dies. We know this. Through lack of oxygen the brain will die gradually, hence people who have had oxygen starvation end up with speech problems, the ability to walk or move or even understand. Parts of the brain is permanently damaged, vital information is destroyed. If the brain lacks activity, it dies nearly instantly.


Quote:Time and space were meaningless. Reality was nonsense. The shackles of identity, the binding ties of responsibility, and chains of existence had been removed.

It was bliss.
That's why I'm not afraid of death. It's a state where time and space no longer have any meaning to you. No pain, no anger, no religious wackos.
Very blissful.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
