Well, a bit earlier today, I was browsing the NGBbs, when I found a thread where one person brought up a very interesting question, "which is longer, time before life, or time after death?" Here's my two cent's Well, logically speaking, if you die, you will be dead as long as your body exists, and seeing as the first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor un-made, you will always exist in one form or another. As I see it, "death" (natural or unnatural, natural simply being that your body has stressed its limits, and shuts down) is but a loss of ego and conscience, and a state of being unaware of yourself and your surroundings. Basically, time after death in infinite, let's just say, you'll exist until the time they calculate the final digit of PI , now, time before life, is a proposing proposition. Naturally this view point will change depending on weather one factors in religious mythology and/or beliefs.
