What is Death?
From the general point of view death is a complex personal and social phenomenon, which has substantial influence on person's life and life of the other people who can be influenced by the person's death.
Traditional view on death can be described as the worst thing which can happen with a human being during his life long journey. Death is the biggest tragedy and that's why probably it's the biggest taboo for thorough scientific research and studying at the general public level. "Why think about death - when you will be dead you wouldn't care about this - just live your life!" - it's the point of view of the majority of public. And, of course this makes sense. But… If death is final point of our life why don't we pay enough attention to this subject? We think that studying and understanding of death is as important as other big events of our lives: birth, school, marriage, maturity, etc.
We don't have to treat death as just full stop of body functioning or the death of the brain. We think that almost everybody will agree that death is something bigger and probably more important for our society as it is. Unfortunately, nowadays death in western culture is treated as the end. Though Christianity says that death is not the end and there is paradise or hell where the soul goes after death, society in general thinks different, for example a lot of people believe that something is after death, but what? We also don't know and this web-site was created with desire to boost the studying of the subject.
Our general approach is based on the law of energy conservation. We treat a human consciousness or soul as a form of energy and after death this energy is not disappearing, we think it just changing its form, but will you recognize yourself as you in this changed form and will it be you? We don't know, but we would like to clarify.
Why it's important to us? Because if it can be scientifically proven that death is not the end, it's just a pit-stop at which you have to change your tires, add some more fuel or may-be completely change the chassis, may be people would pay more attention to their current life, which probably could influence your after death performance. We would like to clarify what is the balance between life and death and what is the value of life comparing to the value of after death existence (of course if it is).
Usually there are two polar approaches to the death. Death as the regular(natural) thing and death as mystic thing. Both approaches are limited because both of them are biased. We would like to see approach to study death as wildly opened objective scientific thing. We are sure that death is something bigger that it usually considered and we would like to prove it.
We see death as one of the most under evaluated and understudied part of human life. Yes, there are a lot of different publications and researches in the area of death and its philosophic or supernatural nature. But these researches are non systematized and usually stay aside from major studying subjects. Moreover, they are lacking large scale scientific approach and financial resources. We would like to pay more attention to the subject, make systematized and researchable. And try to answer the question what is death.
