    Could the brains electric activities form a cohesive and lasting form?
    Since all ‘forms’ are constructed by the electro-magnetic processes of attraction and repulsion, is it possible that the electrical patterns formed in the brain during life could hold their ‘form’, when the flesh is no longer there?

    It seems to me, knowing very little about the subject, that energy does not necessarily need ‘substance’ in order to exist.

    I picture it as a sphere containing Information, and as I understand it, theoretically, information can never be lost. Sort of like a ball of lightening that has a period of existence as a cohesive mass of energy patterns. Maybe ‘it’ doesn’t last long, but it does maintain a ‘form’ composed only of energy.

    Could it be the foundation of our Entities that we hope will outlast us after death?

    Perhaps it’s a silly question to one who knows the science, but...

    Thanks

    I think you'll have to explain a little better.

    If you take an apple, and hit it with a hammer, I think we can agree that some information is lost.

    I don't think it's lost, changed for certain, but 'they' say the information describing the apple still exists. For example; the science channel used a blown up building to make the point that the information could be re-constructed.

    I was just wondering if electrical energies could form a pattern of movements that would be cohesive enough to last independently.

    I just used the 'ball lightning', because some action formed it into it’s structure or form, and it continues to exist long after it's connection with the cause of its formation is not connected to it.
