A friend of mine and I were talking about the concept of life after death and he brought up a theory, inspired, he said, by a book he read:
The moment before you die, your brain goes through a cyclical process where you perceive yourself over and over again, an infinite amount of times, all within the smallest unit of time. Basically, it's not unlike a dream--the shortest dream, in real-time, can feel like it lasts forever. He tied this back to living within your own consciousness, during what feels like eternity, since you cannot grasp the concept of time, but only within the liminal nano-second between life and death.
Is there any science to back this up? Is it even a real theory? I've never heard of it before, but he swore that it has been backed up with "scientific" explanations.
