What Do We Really Know About Life?

Excerpted from the book: A View Beyond the Stars, on Amazon and Lulu.

We may think we know about Life, but do we really? The greatest irony may be that in spite of the prodigious nature of Life all around us, it is also one of the greatest mysteries of modern science.

Scientists Discover Life After Death

We assume we know about Life because we are all alive. But in fact, we know very little about the native qualities of this energy we can observe as distinctly separate from everything else in the physical world around us.

I say “native” qualities, because it appears possible that Life might continue on after the death of the body. We can’t see this energy, measure or detect it outside the body, so of course we jump to the obvious conclusion that it has no post mortem existence. Yet we do know that when Life is in our bodies we live and that in spite of our best attempts at a scientific understanding of this phenomenon, it appears and disappears with equal intrigue. Or does it?
