The record holder suggested that his belief in God is linked to quantum physics.
“If our consciousness is quantum information, it may continue after the body is gone,” he said. “For example, like computer data stored in the cloud, our consciousness may not be trapped in the brain. Quantum entanglement suggests that our consciousness is part of a bigger system beyond the physical world.”
/**/“Some scientists and philosophers believe that our world may be a simulation created by a higher-dimensional being—which I believe,” he further explained. “If this is true, then death is not the end, but a shift to another reality.”
“Science is growing now, and we are learning more about consciousness and reality,” he added. “Our death is not destruction, but change and shift. Humanity will keep searching for the truth about what comes after—after life.”
