Fact 1. Light is electricity + magnetism = pure energy.

Fact 2. All matter is essentially condensed energy. In other words, we are all beams of light, which have been condensed to solid matter.

Fact 3. The mass of light = 00.00.

Fact 4. Scientific examination shows our bodies are over 99,999% empty space, held together by unknown forces (fields of energy). The smallest constituents (elementary particles) are basically mathematical concepts, they are not real.

CONCLUSION: We are fields of energy.

Imagine the beating of a heart, as measured by a heartbeat machine (see green line below). Let’s align this with the ticking of a clock (in seconds), which measures our time on planet earth (see red line below). For every heart beat – 1 second passes. This is our everyday reality.

Einstein discovered the speed of light, which moves at roughly 300.000 km per second, never changes. The speed of light is a universal constant. If we (physical objects) try to simulate the light, strange things start to happen! As we gain speed the time begins to slow down and the space condenses, becomes smaller, so to speak.

Now imagine speeding away on a rocket ship. As we’re gaining speed the time begins to slows down rapidly and so does the beating of our heart. The red and green lines start to stretch out, as their angles become wider. The faster we move – the more the time and the beating of the heart slows down (see graph below).

When we reach the speed of light the red and green lines level out completely and become continuous or straight (a constant). Time stops and space ends (see graph below).

CONCLUSION: When traveling at the speed of light time and space cease (STOP) to exist. We come to a startling realization: Light exists independent or outside of space and time, so to speak. Somehow when we look at light – space and time appear. (More about this some other time). But here’s something worth pondering over: From light’s perspective = there is always light!

FINAL CONCLUSIONS:

Fact a). Light is pure energy. It can travel at such a high speed, because it’s mass is exactly = 00.00.

Fact b). Energy never dies or terminates, it only transforms.

fact c) When we die our bodies (the physical self) effectively transform/return to energy.  Time stops, space ends and our physical mass = 00.00. The heartbeat line (green) goes flat, exactly in the same way as the line of time and speed (red). Our energy becomes a universal constant, we return to light! This is basic science.

The question remains: If energy never terminates – what happens to our  metaphysical self i.e. the energy of consciousness or the so-called spiritual self?

PS: I will be discussing potential answers to this and many related subjects in my upcoming book, entitled The Unfinished Book About Who We Are, where I will be fusing fact, faith and reason, belonging to science, religion and philosophy, respectively.
