What is after life...I guess that if we want to discuss the question, we should define what the life is. What do we know about life?
Some people believe that life was created or that it came from somewhere in the cosmos; scientists claim that life arose from the chemical material many years ago . At first we must find out what ‘life’ means. We usually think that living objects are those, which are breathing, moving (or at least growing) etc.
Well, these conditions are nice, but isn’t it a bit selfish of us (people)? We do breathe, we do move etc. but some viruses who obviously behave like living creatures don’t belong to this definition of ‘life’. I can offer you another definition: life are all creatures or objects which have/are kind of consciousness. It means: if a creature or object can “see”, feel or observe and it reacts, it is living. It might sound like nonsense – so do computers live? Let me explain.
“See”, “feel” and “observe” mean conscious activities. Conscious means whatever you see, hear, feel, your thoughts, pain, etc. at a particular time (present). This is what you really are. Usually it’s connected with the “objective” world around you, but not always: if you’re sleeping, you physically can hear, but it’s not part of your consciousness-if you’re dreaming, your consciousness is represented by your dream (so not by the “objective” world around you).
This definition of life is the only proven definition – we ourselves are proof.
That means that there can't be anything "after life".
