Professor Lisa Randall
The pioneering research
of Dr Raymond Moody
and Dr Elisabeth KüblerRoss has contributed to
the development of this
discipline.
Now there are numerous studies being conducted in the area of
spirituality and life after
death, utilising the latest technologies and
scientific methods.
Over the years, significant research has
been carried out by
such luminaries as Dr
Erlendur Haraldsson of
Iceland University, pastlife therapist Dr Morris
Netherton, psychologist Dr Peter Ramster,
psychotherapist Andy
Tomlinson, cardiologist
Pim van Lommel, MD,
and many others.
Is the quest progressing
towards a final answer?
Probably never: the
more answers unv eiled,
the more questions
revealed. Professor Lisa
Randall is a theoretical physicist at Harvard
University, a leading
expert on particle physics and cosmology, and
a member of the scientific staff at CERN.
She theorises that our
universe exists within a
universe of many higher and unseen dimensions, and that the
laws of nature may be
very different in different regions of this socalled multverse. Then,
61
if this is so, the larger hidden dimensions
in which our universe
exists may influence our
own three-dimensional
space-time world and
its laws of nature. But
what is consciousness,
one of the most
vibrant areas of study in
science today? According
to Professor
Randall (Discover, 29
July 2006):
“Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how
thoughts work, how
connections are made,
how the memory works,
how we process information, how information is stored—it’s all
fascinating.
Experimentally, though,
we’re still rather limited
in what we can do. I
don’t even know what
consciousness is. I’d
like someone to define
consciousness.”
Right. So if we want to
know more about the
possibility of the survival of consciousness after
death, maybe we need
more accurate studies
