The news was presented at the AAAS meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. Anna Fowler presented a synthesis of dozens of studies on near-death experiences and neuroelectrical activity around cardiac arrest. - https://particle.news/story/aaas-presentation-argues-consciousness-may-persist-minutes-to-hours-after-clinical-death



I always wanted to go out by jumping into a volcano when I feel that life is spent so this is just validating that idea
Edit: I have been corrected so I’ll just use my gun instead (also this isn’t a suicidal thing, I just will not experience consciousness after death cos that’s horrifying so I’m going out on my own terms, glad to find out that volcano jumping wouldn’t be as releasing as I had thought)
Edit: this was a joke, which was misinterpreted by the OP, out of respect I have removed it.
Not just that but magma is pretty damn dense. It’s gonna be like hitting solid rock and then immediately burning up.
Edit: misunderstandings that have been clarified
Woah, not my intention at all, sorry. It was just a joke, as I assumed your “jump in a volcano” statement was a joke.
Absolutely zero ill intent, I apologise completely. I’ll edit the comment.
Oh my bad, I was a bit touchy about it in my response. I appreciate the clarifying, it’s all about intentions and I see that you had good intentions there so we’re square. I’ll edit mine to indicate a misunderstanding so you aren’t left with the tenth degree about it.
Didn’t they calculate that if you did jump into an open volcano, that you’d basically explode before you even touched down?
Edit: I’m getting old and must be misremembering this. https://youtu.be/Q1blQRrM4TA
Pop like a hotdog?
Explode? That’s certainly news to me!
So you want to be concious for hours while enveloped in lava?
I like how the other people responding with helpful answers and then you just decided to be an asshole to pile on
Maybe you already know but if you throw yourself into a volcano you don’t dive like in water. You stay above it because of density.
I actually wasn’t aware, thank you for actually giving me a helpful response unlike the other assholes
Make sure to livestream it, shouting “try this, kids at home!”
I’ll just use my gun instead of jumping
On the off-chance you’re not joking don’t actually do that. I thought we were doing some edgy humour it’s not actually a good suggestion.
No joking here. I don’t think the world wants to see my brains splatter though so I wasn’t planning on live streaming. Don’t worry though, it’s not a suicidal thing, more like a “when I’m terminally ill and going to go on my terms” thing and if consciousness is in the equation after death, I’d like to make sure that doesn’t happen so no brain would remedy that.
