Decipher the mysterious phenomenon: The soul leaves the body

On October 6, scientists at the University of Southampton (UK) claimed to have discovered the mystery of the phenomenon of "leaving the body" after conducting the largest medical research ever on smokers die.

The phenomenon of people still having conscious experiences about things around after the heart stops beating, the brain completely stops working is always a headache for scientists and cause many controversies.

Scientists find the answer to the "soul left from the body" phenomenon.

To address this question, Southampton University scientists spent four years studying more than 2,000 people who experienced a complete heart attack in 15 hospitals in the UK, US and Australia.

They found that nearly 40% of those who survived cardiac arrest described a form of 'consciousness' that persisted during their clinical death , before their hearts returned.

One patient recounted that he had " completely recovered" and stood in the corner of the room watching the whole process of resuscitation for his own patients on a hospital bed.

Although the heart stopped beating and was "dead" for 3 minutes, this 57-year-old man from Southampton still remembers the actions of the doctors and clearly described the sound of the machine in the room. emergency.

"We all know that the brain cannot function after the heart stops beating ," explains Dr. Sam Parnia of New York State University, who led the study . But in this case, the human consciousness seems to continue to exist for up to 3 minutes after the heart stops working, although the brain often "turns off" after about 20-30 seconds' heart.

Parnia explained: "This man described everything that happened in the room, but most importantly, two beeps from a machine that only sounds every three minutes."

'Thus, we can calculate the lifetime of human consciousness after death . What this man says is very reliable, and they all work out in reality, ' Dr. Parnia said.

Of the 2,060 cases of cardiac arrest they studied, 330 people resurrected, and 140 of them said they felt their consciousness remained active while being given emergency care.

One in five of these patients said they felt unusual peace after 'death' , while nearly a third of the resurrected people said the time around seemed slow or fast.

Some people see a stream of bright light like a yellow flash or a shining sun.

Others have feelings of fear or are playing with deep water. In addition, 13% of the survivors clearly felt the phenomenon of 'the soul leaving the body' , and at the same time they said that their senses were greatly enhanced.

Dr. Parnia believes that many people have experienced the same feeling when they are close to death, but the anesthetic or painkiller used during the emergency has made them unable to remember the experience. there.

The doctor said: 'We estimate there are millions of people who have had vivid experiences of death, but the scientific evidence is still quite meager. Many people said that it was just an illusion, an illusion, but in reality they were very consistent with the events that took place '.

This research group intends to continue to expand its work to many more subjects to get a clearer answer to the phenomenon of 'leaving the body'.
