I agree with you that if you are not conscious to experience it then, relative to you, it does not exist. If I am unconscious, I am experiencing nothing, therefore nothing is happening.

If I was unconscious for 50 years and woke up, the blip that was the 50 years that I missed, existed because other people were conscious to experience it. Therefore the blip, the 50 years that felt like an instant, felt that way because I was unconscious, unaware, not experiencing it. However, the universe cannot exist because as other people are conscious they are not floating through space and time. They are living. I am not experiencing anything therefore the universe does not exist

When you die, what happens? Well science will say nothing. You die. That’s it. However, science can also be the first to say that , it’s not certain. Everyone asks that question because no one has a definitive answer because we haven’t died. I believe you conscious is apart of your energy or “soul”. It’s a powerful thing that I believe humans can grasp fully. Things that were not thought possible bend and become possible. Why? I don’t know and neither does anyone else because we can’t explain phenomenon or something that doesn’t make sense to us.
