Although there is no evidence for the afterlife as gaining evidence is impossible, however a lot of people believe strongly that there is one, this is in both religious people and non religious people. This is because the concept of non existence is impossible to conceive as we have never done it before. And as we cant understand it then it seems that an Afterlife must exist, because how can we be nothing?
But I find a flaw with this idea, a complete contradiction. If we think we cannot be destroyed entirely then surely we've never been created, we've always existed. So to have an afterlife then there must be a "beforelife".
So this theory would mean that our "spirits" would all have been created in the same instance. Both the ones that live now, the ones that have lived before us and the ones that will live after us. And so once our spirits carrys on to the afterlife, what do they do then? It could be a form of reincarnation that the ones that live after us are actually spirits that went before and travel through the afterlife into the "beforelife" and then become living again.
An endless cycle. We have always existed and so time isn't relevant to our "spirits" but only to our temporary bodies that we travel between. But given that time doesn't effect our "spirits", what happens to our memory from the life we lived when we pass into the Afterlife. If we have already lived an infinite amount of times before and will do after then why would we remember lives if we can just relive again and again.
So maybe the theory that we'll get to visit our loved ones once we die isn't probable or maybe we will visit them but not in a way we can comprehend. We would be in a place where time doesn't exist, where every memory and every spirit is everywhere all at once.
This is just my mind going off on one but hopefully it makes you think logically about what having an Afterlife means. Which sounds strange especially as you can only believe in an Afterlife not be certain.

I don't know why more people aren't interested in time. Ask any old people and they all say that time goes by more quickly as you get older. This is probably their perception of time but who knows? If that perception was controlled by part of the brain, perhaps there could be a drug to slow down and speed up our perception of time? Then we could make doing things we don't enjoy pass by more quickly while having more time doing things we do enjoy.
If we don't really understand time, I'm not sure how we can contemplate the afterlife. I only believe in it because it's logical to. I could only be wrong if I didn't believe and then it existed. If there's no afterlife, you can't be wrong if you believe in it because there will be no such thing as wrong.
Time i s a very interesting concept but I don't see how it can be controlled by the brain. Because unless we created an incredibly dense object that could warp space time then it's only our perception of how quickly time passes that we could change.
We can't contemplate an afterlife unless we believe we are constant beings, and I guess it's a safe bet hahaha

I think there's a clear link between time and memory. We don't remember when we were very young and that time might as well not exist for us. When we are learning the most and our brains are remembering the most, time is perceived to pass more slowly. As we get older and our brains deteriorate and we do more things automatically, having already learned to do them, time is perceived to pass more quickly. This is interesting
Really interesting video, strange concept that the universe has a memory.
The universe is a strange place that we still seem to know almost nothing about. This is a good explanation of one of the strange phenomena, quantum entanglement
Yeah you are all right because Allah says in Quran that everybody test the taste of death. That's why we should have to believe after going to long sleep we must awake on examine day.
Sorry I don't know too much about Islam but I assume examine day is the same as judgement day?
Correct
