is eternal nothingness after death the most reasonable hypothesis?
the particles that make up your brain aren't going anywhere, you don't simply disappear, you just turn to dust

what scares me is not death, but the pain even for a small fraction of time. This of course assuming death by heart failure or some other like cancer etc.
>>3290655
but the particles are not what makes you alive/conscious, it's the energy flowing through them
so instead of turning into anything your thought process just slows to a halt.

oh noes, you turn into a Drumpf supporter :(

What kind of energy? Heat? Electrons in synapses and their exchange in chemical reations? All can be reduced to the movements of particles and their interactions with each other. The properties don't change, the particles don't change, only their relative positions change, which have to constantly change anyway or you'd freeze solid. You may not even be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

what if the perception of the present time is inherently a human one and when we die with no new information from are perceptive we simply live the last thing we felt forever....

If the universe does in fact repeat itself, then it means you will probably wake up again after you die without memories.

And? The carbon in ash after burning a tree is still the same carbon as was in the living tree and still has the same properties of other carbon particles. But it's no longer a tree and is no longer considered to be alive. If living trees had some sort of consciousness would the ash of burned trees have consciousness and be considered alive? Position of particles matters just as much as their properties.

Nothingness implies an awareness capable of understanding there is nothingness. Try to remember a time you forgot. There you go.
Anyway life and death describe the consistency of consciousness which is a slippery thing to deal with. Also, when you're dead, you have no perception of time. Just like you aren't aware of not being born until afterward. You'll only know you died if something comes after, and if something comes after, the wait will seem instantaneous to us like taking a nap
