Paradise (Where is it now?)

It's true that we can all make speculations, but what's the point if there is no evidence? Without that it's all just fiction. What we do know about chemistry indicates that when we die our bodies disintegrate into their atoms (even faster if cremated), and that our personas cease because they depend on the structure and interactions of the molecules, all of which is lost. I can imagine that when I die some psi-factor, hitherto unknown to science, that records my persona in the hitherto undetected psi-field will emerge and float like a ghost through the cosmos until it becomes absorbed in the great Psi-Mind in the Crab Nebula, and so on and so forth. But I know this is science fantasy. Far more likely is that such phenomena have not been detected because they do not exist, and that death comes as the end.
