I often think about the law of physics that states "energy can neither be created nor destroyed". Assuming we possess some kind of energy that makes us "go", and I'm not just talking about ATP, metabolism, firing of neurons, etc. Where does the energy of our consciousness, thoughts, memories, and things that seem to make us "us", go if it cannot be destroyed? Or perhaps we really are just powered by ATP and the like and when we die that energy is just recycled into other things and then our organic matter is recycled. So, technically we never really do die. BUT here I am with a conscience. Who am I? Where do I go when I die? Will I experience a new consciousness or will I just cease to exist? My brain hurts.
