Dr. Alan Ross Hugenot holds a doctorate of science in mechanical engineering, and has had a successful career in marine engineering, serving on committees that write the ship-building standards for the United States. He studied physics and mechanical engineering at the Oregon Institute of Technology.
But also central to his work is the study of the afterlife following a near-death experience (or NDE) after a motorcycle accident in his younger years.
“I did things using Newtonian physics to create ships,” he said, “but the whole time, I knew better. There’s this whole other world that our five senses don’t register.” He gave a talk on the science of the afterlife at the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) 2014 Conference in Newport Beach, California.
Exploring
scientific theories related to this other world, Hugenot has wondered
whether the consciousness of living human beings, as well as the “souls”
of the dead, reside in dark matter or dark energy. He has pondered the
implications of the power our consciousness seems to have over physical
reality....<<<Read More>>>...
