Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What happens when a human being dies? Science can describe the heart stopping, the brain losing function, cells breaking down, and matter returning to the world. But the moment we ask what happens to the person - the consciousness, the identity, the soul, if there is one - the question explodes into biology, neuroscience, philosophy, religion, and cosmology.If There Is a Heaven, Do Aliens Go There? follows that explosion. Felix Quarkweather begins with the measurable science of death and consciousness, then moves through near-death experiences, reincarnation claims, ghosts, angels, demons, plants, fungi, bacteria, viruses, the origin of life, alien biology, and the strange problem of applying Earth-built ideas about souls and salvation to beings that may have evolved beneath another sun.The result is not a book that tries to prove heaven, debunk religion, or smuggle spirituality into quantum mechanics. It is something harder - and more fun: a science-first investigation of what we know, what the evidence suggests, what remains genuinely unknown, and what we are allowed to wonder about without pretending speculation is proof.Along the way, Quarkweather asks questions that become more unsettling the longer you think about them. What exactly dies when a person dies? If reincarnation is real, what would have to travel? Does a fungal network count as one individual? Are viruses alive? Could an alien species understand death without inventing religion? If consciousness is fundamental, would that mean you survive? And if the universe recycles every atom in your body, what does continuity really mean?Heavily sourced but written for ordinary curious readers, this is a book about death that becomes a book about life - and then, inconveniently, a book about almost everything.
