    uh ok

    Well, I do happen to have a PhD in physics. I'm afraid to tell y'all that there's nothing in quantum mechanics or thermodynamics which even hints at making the afterlife more scientifically credible. Sorry. You might want to use the same test that is applied to creationism here- If these maverick scientists are onto something- how come they never ever get their papers published in peer reviewed mainstream journals? Oh- I forgot, it's the international conspiracy of scientists to keep the truth from being told.
