what happens when eternity happens - /sci/

What happens when eternity happens? Everyone says “we're all going to die” but nobody asks what happens after. With no conscious beings, time truly becomes an illusion (it already is). An infinite number of years would pass in the blink of an eye, pun intended. Imagine if you were immortal and your anesthesiologist says “I'm going to set the time to infinity but you'll still wake up” And you do because you have to, and when you do, the first second of eternity has passed.

A similar thought experiment. Imagine: There is a button you can press that sends you into a "purgatory" In this purgatory, there are things to experience. However, as soon as you decide to leave, your physical state (memories and all), are reverted back to before you pressed the button.So what happenes if you press the button? Nothing happens because you must have decided to leave, so you keep pressing it, again.. nothing happens. You would have to spend an infinite amount of time there to actually know what's inside.

Well yeah, I mean of course any span of time will feel instantaneous if you're not conscious. Like going in for surgery and they give you anesthetic, and instantly your next experience is awaking in the recovery room entirely unaware that hours have passed. And the idea that there is nothing after death isn't scary at all, although I guess most people don't really contemplate what non-existence means.

you wake up again because god wants you to help him learn how to get along with everyone or something

There being nothing after death isn't terrifying at all. It's comforting, which is why you can know it isn't true.

>Everyone says “we're all going to die” but nobody asks what happens after.Are you literally retarded? Why do you think the world's religion exist? Because EVERYBODY asks what happens after.

Can I have the eternity where I get to just goon in my mom's basement forever?

Stop asking this stupid question over and over and just move on.

This is not a question science can answer.

there is nothing scary about becoming nothing. I literally cant wait for it to happen.

Your perception of time slows when you die, thus you die forever, from your frame of reference.

/sci/ is clueless on this topic, as usual.

OBE and NDEs were debunked recently as they found the area of the brain that causes these sensations. Religious people and NDE people will keeps refusing the truth that eternal oblivion with no afterlife is what happens upon death

wise people of all religious denominations are inclined to believe in reincarnation, it's just the most sensible thing. everything moves in cycles down here on earth, why should the afterlife be any different?

My post has nothing to do with Near death, the conditions are that all conscious life is already dead, allowing the universe to undergo an infinite time skip. This would be post heat death.

I could eat cereals for the rest of eternity.

Actual Infinity as in the set theorie doesnt exist and is a jewish scam. Only potential infinity as in a thing you can always expand. Just throwing this in.
