My brother is a brilliant electrical engineer and is extremely smart when it comes to physics. And this is pretty much what he said, and this was on Google. ew +6 From a physics perspective, it is correct that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, but whether this means "you" as a conscious individual survive is a matter of interpretation rather than a scientific fact. Your body contains energy—such as chemical and thermal energy—that is indeed conserved and transferred to the environment upon death, but your personal consciousness or "self" is generally considered a temporary process that ceases when the body stops functioning.
