The age-old question of what happens to our minds and bodies after we die has perplexed humanity for centuries. Are there unseen forces that govern our existence beyond the realm of life?

Carroll, an external professor at the Santa Fe Institute and Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University, delved into the heart of the matter, asserting that the laws of physics, which underlie our everyday lives, leave no room for the persistence of consciousness beyond death.
