"Life after death" refers to the belief that consciousness or the soul continues to exist in some form after the physical body dies. Various cultures and religions, such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, have different interpretations of what this existence entails, ranging from an afterlife in heaven or hell to reincarnation into a new life. Scientific perspectives generally focus on the biological processes of death, asserting that once the brain ceases to function, consciousness as we know it ends. While some studies explore near-death experiences, there is no empirical evidence to confirm the existence of life after death, leaving the topic largely within the realm of personal belief and philosophy.
