The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can t be created or destroyed.
Where does the energy in your brain go when you die.
But it does seem to suggest that when our brains and bodies die our consciousness may not or at least not right away.
One of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies.
It can only change forms.
Our sense of self our sense of humour our ability to think ahead that stuff all goes within the first 10 to 20 seconds julian morgans reported for vice.
But this energy doesn t go away at death.
The process of energy generation is much more complex in humans though.
Although bodies self destruct the me feeling is just a 20 watt cloud of energy in your head.
It can neither be created nor destroyed.
If you really want to know what happens to your brain when you die you re going to need to abandon your squeamishness at the door what i m about to write here is necessary.
Conservation of energy is a fundamental axiom of science.
I don t mean that people have their eyes open or that their brain s working.
Maybe a 5 change against the backdrop of all brain activity he says.
According to cameron because the brain s blood supply is pumped from underneath the brain would die from the top downwards.
Physics tells us that energy is never lost and that our brains and hence the feeling of life operates by electrical energy and this energy simply can t vanish when we die.
Within seconds of death your body s supply of oxygen will be depleted and your brain activity surges.
Remarkably at any given moment roughly 20 watts of energy course through your body enough to power a light bulb.
