Has science prove a form of continual existence?

Question

Based on many theories and accepted logic, matter cannot dissappear or appear. Therefore, while our concept of something as 'living' may disappear, the actual matter it is composed of does not.

Yes, no, maybe? Opinions please.

Answer 1

Not entirely correct. Matter can switch to energy and vice versa under proscribed circumstances i.e fusion and fission. But yes, when something dies, in most cases the matter that made it up still exists.

Answer 2

Multi universe theory seems to suggest that particles do indeed spontaneously appear and disappear- quantum physics raises many interesting questions about the nature of the universe but gives little in the way of concrete proof.

Answer 3

Are you asking, "will the atoms that make up your body continue on?"

Then yes.

However, since my 'self' is my self awareness, which is nothing more than the operation of my brain as a computational structure, when that structure ceases computing, the self-awareness that is my 'self' will cease.
