On the one hand, the neurobiologists tell us that the mind dies, or
in any event seems to fade away and die (nobody has ever been able
to find
the substance of the mind).
But on the other hand the
physicists assure us that the matter of our bodies, at its most
elementary level (i.e., the particles),
does not and cannot die.
Our particles are reconstituted in other bodies which in their turn
will be able to know what we call death.
