What happens to the electrochemical charge of the "Brain" when we die?

Question

I "Believe" there`s a law in thermodynamics or physics that states we can neither create nor destroy energy. Furthermore it says something like energy goes under some sort of "Conversion" when it changes form. Which brings me to my question what happens to the electrochemical charge in the brain when we die? Obviously the brain matter conversets it`s energy to the elements of the earth. Brain matter when undergoing the decomposion process converts to maggot food, dirt, etc. But what happens to the charge? We need an analogy. Lets say the brain is like a stream of light emitted from a source. When the source goes out or it is broken the light goes out. However, when can still detect an EMF field near the source. My point is this our brains or minds or what have you is not made up of physical matter only. There`s a charge as well. It seems quite odd to think the charge converts to maggot food - so what happens to it, what does it convert too. Remeber, energy never dies it must convert.

Answer 1

It may seem odd to think that all the energy in your brain is converted to food for something else, but turn the question on its head: where did the energy in your brain come from in the first place? It was converted from YOUR food.

Pretty much all of the so-called energy in your brain can be thought of as a dam that holds back a tide. A bunch of charge is on one side of a neuron's cell membrane and is not on the other side. So what happens when a dam is broken? The potential energy in the water is converted temporarily into kinetic energy and then is spread throughout the system and lost. So too with the energy in your brain. Without a living cell, the membrane eventually breaks down, the charge evens out.

It's not the energy in your brain that makes you who you are. If I sent a million amps into your brain you wouldn't be MORE you. You'd be dead. It's the PATTERN that's important, not the fact of energy itself. Static on your TV is meaningless and any normal signal degrades into static unless energy is expended to clear it up. That's the second law of thermodynamics. The same amount of energy is there... it's the INFORMATION that is lost.

Answer 2

How bout it after the electrical source goes out,( in other words our body and the metabolism that uses calories to produce the electrical charge to begin with) whats left of the brains electricity converts to heat and dissipates into our surroundings.The Brains Electrochemical Energy is not destroyed it merely changes to heat energy. Same as the Light bulb. This does not mean there is no Life after Death. We or something may remain after death but how this works? I'm still working on it.

Answer 3

The energy dissipates by means of entropy, which is defined as "The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity." This has to do with the second law of thermodynamics. In other words, the environment "soaks up" the energy in favor of an equilibrium. Essentially, all energy/matter in the universe is slowly evolving towards equilibrium (inert uniformity).

Answer 4

while the human physique stops taking in oxygen and food, there isn't any last power, so the strategies does not have power with a view to communicate. on the time of dying, any neurons firing finally finally end up, and without sparkling source of power all of them provide up firing. loads of the ability is released as warmth, the physique is a organic heater inspite of each thing.

Answer 5

The energy so stored is dessipated as heat waves out of the dead body and it gets cold.

Answer 6

Does it just drift away into the atmosphere, along with the 'thoughts' of the person? Some say that may be your soul. hmmmm, don't know.

We have the same avatar.
