What Happens When We Die

Interesting Facts

When you die, your body stops functioning as one wound expect. Your heart stops beating and your brain ceases to have any activity. You may have cardiac death or brain death. It is a know fact that machines can keep you alive a little longer. People who have been brought back from near death experiences have reported seeing a light or being aware of their surroundings. If you pass through the light, you experience biological death. Your muscles relax, causing your sphincter to release waste and gas. Men may ejaculate, and women may give birth after death in rare cases if thye are pregnant. Air may escape from your body, creating moans and groans. Muscle contractions can cause twitching. Blood will pool in certain areas, causing a purple discoloration known as livor mortis.

These are the dazzling things that can happen in the blink of an eye after you go. With no blood streaming through your body, it will start to cool down, known as “algor mortis”, or simply “death chill”. It will keep cooling until it is the same temperature as your environment around. You may end up stiff within about 2-6 hours, know as “rigor mortis”. This is often since calcium is getting into the muscle cells. Cells begin to break down without proper blood circulation and this leads to microscopic organisms development, and that's why you begin to break down. The next stage is rottenness, when microscopic organisms and microorganisms begin to devour your remains. You'll begin to stink as terrible and worst than anything you ever smelled beforeput in simple words. The smell is very strong odour. Before long everything that's soft, melts, with things like bones, cartilage and hair remaining solid. You're as of now well on your way to breaking down by the time you're being put within the ground. But with being embalmed, decay might be a moderate in speed.

Left above ground, you'll be a melted mess around a month, devoured on by insects, maggots, plants, and creatures. Underground, a few specialists say it might take 8-12 years, a long time, to be reduce to nothing but a skeleton. After around year 50, the bones will ended up portion of the Soil. We ought to include the rate of decay depends on a wide range of variables, too numerous to list here. But we think you get the picture. Whereas a few individuals report that their near-death encounter, was one like no other, that's not always the case though. One individual composing on Reddit said his encounter was, “It was just black emptiness. No thoughts, no awareness, nothing.” French philosopher Rene Descartes (Renee Day-cart) accepted that the soul was isolated from the body, as numerous religions will tell you, and maybe when we kick the bucket something lingers on. Friedrich Nietzsche talked about the concept of eternal repeat, or eternal return, meaning all presence or vitality within the universe has until the end of time and will continue until the end of time, keep repeating itself. You live the same life, once more and again, forever. Presently doesn't that make you want to live well? Here we could make likenesses to the Buddhist belief of the “Wheel of Samsara”, wherein all souls, lives, will start a cycle again after passing, but not the same expected life as the former. Something we call reincarnation, which some people say is associated to what we sometimes refer to all of the time, de ja vu.

Do you ever wonder what happens after we die? Will we reach or go to heaven, or simply cease to exist? We can't say for sure, but we'd love to hear your thoughts. Share in the comments and remember to stay alive!
