A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“, published in the USA, has stirred up the Internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, but your consciousness moves to another universe after death . The author of this publication, scientist Robert Lanza has no doubts that this is possible.
Beyond time and space
Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before he has been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species.
But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. This explosive mixture has given birth to the new theory of biocentrism, which the professor has been preaching ever since.
The theory implies that death simply does not exist. It is an illusion which arises in the minds of people. It exists because people identify themselves with their body. They believe that the body is going to perish, sooner or later, thinking their consciousness will disappear too. In fact, consciousness exists outside of constraints of time and space. It is able to be anywhere: in the human body and outside of it. That fits well with the basic postulates of quantum mechanics science, according to which a certain particle can be present anywhere and an event can happen according to several, sometimes countless, ways.
Lanza believes that multiple universes can exist simultaneously. These universes contain multiple ways for possible scenarios to occur. In one universe, the body can be dead. And in another it continues to exist, absorbing consciousness which migrated into this universe.
This means that a dead person while traveling through the same tunnel ends up not in hell or in heaven, but in a similar world he or she once inhabited, but this time alive. And so on, infinitely.
Multiple worlds
This hope-instilling, but extremely controversial theory by Lanza has many unwitting supporters, not just mere mortals who want to live forever, but also some well-known scientists. These are the physicists and astrophysicists who tend to agree with existence of parallel worlds and who suggest the possibility of multiple universes. Multiverse (multi-universe) is a so-called scientific concept, which they defend. They believe that no physical laws exist which would prohibit the existence of parallel worlds.
The first one was a science fiction writer H.G. Wells who proclaimed in 1895 in his story “The Door in the Wall”. And after 62 years, this idea was developed by Hugh Everett in his graduate thesis at the Princeton University. It basically posits that at any given moment the universe divides into countless similar instances. And the next moment, these “newborn” universes split in a similar fashion. In some of these worlds you may be present: reading this article in one universe, or watching TV in another.
The triggering factor for these multiplying worlds is our actions, explained Everett. If we make some choices, instantly one universe splits into two with different versions of outcomes.
In the 1980s, Andrei Linde, scientist from the Lebedev’s Institute of physics, developed the theory of multiple universes. He is now a professor at Stanford University.
Linde explained: Space consists of many inflating spheres, which give rise to similar spheres, and those, in turn, produce spheres in even greater numbers, and so on to infinity. In the universe, they are spaced apart. They are not aware of each other’s existence. But they represent parts of the same physical universe.
The fact that our universe is not alone is supported by data received from the Planck space telescope. Using the data, scientists have created the most accurate map of the microwave background, the so-called cosmic relic background radiation, which has remained since the inception of our universe. They also found that the universe has a lot of dark recesses represented by some holes and extensive gaps.
Theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton from the North Carolina University with her colleagues argue: the anomalies of the microwave background exist due to the fact that our universe is influenced by other universes existing nearby. And holes and gaps are a direct result of attacks on us by neighboring universes.
Soul quanta
So, there is abundance of places or other universes where our soul could migrate after death, according to the theory of neo-biocentrism. But does the soul exist?
Professor Stuart Hamerofffrom the University of Arizona has no doubts about the existence of eternal soul. As recently as last year, he announced that he has foundevidence that consciousness does not perish after death.
According to Hameroff, the human brain is the perfect quantum computer and the soul or consciousness is simply information stored at the quantum level. It can be transferred, following the death of the body; quantum information represented by consciousness merges with our universe and exist there indefinitely. The biocentrism expert Lanza proves that the soul migrates to another universe. That is the main difference from his other colleagues.
Sir Roger Penrose, a famous British physicist and expert in mathematics from Oxford, supports this theory, and he has also found traces of contact with other universes. Together, the scientists are developing quantum theory to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. They believe that they found carriers of consciousness, the elements that accumulate information during life, and after death of the body they “drain” consciousness somewhere else. These elements are located inside protein-based microtubules (neuronal microtubules), which previously have been attributed a simple role of reinforcement and transport channeling inside a living cell. Based on their structure, microtubules are best suited to function as carriers of quantum properties inside the brain. That is mainly because they are able to retain quantum states for a long time, meaning they can function as elements of a quantum computer.
If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says “I had a near death experience”‘
He adds: “If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.”
This account of quantum consciousness explains things like near-death experiences, astral projection, out of body experiences, and even reincarnation without needing to appeal to religious ideology. The energy of your consciousness potentially gets recycled back into a different body at some point, and in the mean time it exists outside of the physical body on some other level of reality, and possibly in another universe.

As a physicist this article is one of the most terribly written and misleading pieces of pseudoscience I have ever come across. Go find any credible source on Quantum Mechanics and it will tell you what’s actually going on, but it has nothing to do with consciousness or the soul.
Also, Everett’s many worlds interpretation says nothing about parallel universes, that’s a common misconception. Seriously, look it up.
okay then you go ahead and explain it for us, if your so smart. plz id love to hear it. Really
Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small: the body of scientific principles that explains the behaviour of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atoms andsubatomic particles.
Classical physics explains matter and energy on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behaviour of astronomical bodies. It remains the key to measurement for much of modern science and technology. However, toward the end of the 19th century, scientists discovered phenomena in both the large (macro) and the small (micro) worlds that classical physics could not explain. Coming to terms with these limitations led to two major revolutions in physics – one being the theory of relativity, the other being the development of quantum mechanics. This article describes how physicists discovered the limitations of classical physics and developed the main concepts of the quantum theory that replaced it in the early decades of the 20th century. These concepts are described in roughly the order in which they were first discovered; for a more complete history of the subject, see History of quantum mechanics. That’s what wiki have to inform you Sam 😉
Your Consciousness will not Move To Another Universe After Death if you remain contracted in your awareness, which, of course is what put us here in the first place.
I find this piece to be an interesting
theory and good to see that some sections of the science community
are looking out side the square. I find it interesting how the doom
sayers of this article instantly fall back to proven science where I
find the theory intriguing however I am not convinced nor am I about
to condemn it.
so where did my consciousness go, for about half an hour, when i was knocked out by a strip club bouncer after not paying extra money for a bj
Sam. I respect your academic knowledge and understanding. I freely highlight my own relative lack of both. That being said I am an intelligent person and have nurtured an amateur understanding of physics, quantum physics, biology and my own personal spirituality over the course of nearly half a century.
The two hole experiment clearly and definitively illustrates the effect of consciousness upon quantum physics and that there is inarguably a connection between the observer and the observed.
That that consciousness effects the universe at large is no longer up for debate.
Kind regards.
Informitive, concise and accurate – Well said, Jonah.
this is very interesting but theories can not necessarily prove anything but just lead on to further theories.. experiments and many of them lead to proving that something is accurate and reliable. this is interesting but is not “proving” anything
What a load of crud. Using words from science doesn’t make what you write science, it makes it garbled nonsense.
Consciousness doesn’t collapse wavefunctions. Any old interaction will do.
such as simply an automated measurement? Yes, I see your point, Calabiyau. Your quite right. Thanks for the correction.
i just love to see how same thing is being interpreted in different ways. Even though i am an agnostic about belief in god, I think it’s already mention about afterlife in almost all holly books of any religion. If really something is hidden inside quantum level about afterlife, why don’t we try to make some kind of filter and amplifier to measure and observe what actually that consciousnes is ?
Agree to you Sir James W Smith!!
But thn thn modern day physics is all based on this theory only
:v…..ok….
In India they know about it a long time ago……..
Proven with a Theory is kind of a Paradox lol but iv always loved them XD
Might move to a different state that we won’t experience til we get there ourselves- but an entirely different universe? So consciousness leaves our body, travels through the universe we are in… then “Next Stop, universe #2” ??? Acid must be awesome stuff, one day I’ll check it out. Oh yeah. A theory is pretty much one part fact one part guess. Shake it up, and it could still be bullshit. Didnt even open this one, not that interested!
I know for a fact that Astro projection exists
Universe with a lot of babbling idiots
I hope the weather’s nice.
It true we all have a soul it moves on are body is in the ground it’s called recarnation
There is one consciousness, but it has a major split personality condition called creation.

So many quasi-intelligent people on here talking about an infinitely incomprehensible UNIVERSE that NO one understands. Allot of assertions and theories and jibber-jabber…..only the UNIVERSE knows for sure.
