Does the law of conservation of energy apply to consciousness?

1 Consciousness is real and the Principle of Conservation is universal. Therefore, consciousness is permanent and is always conserved in some form, though not necessarily a visible or obvious form. Therefore, consciousness is not necessarily conserved. 3 Consciousness is not real.

Can energy last forever?

The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant—it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside.

Is consciousness an immortal energy?

It depends on who you ask, but most “realists” would say “no, it’s just something the brain does”. No brain, no consciousness. Most would probably also say consciousness isn’t an energy at all, let alone an immortal one.

Why is electricity considered immortal?

Electricity is a form of energy and like all forms of energy cannot be created or destroyed so I suppose we could regard electricity as “immortal” although it’s an odd way to express that thought as the word “immortal” usually refers to the fantasy that a living being can live forever.

What happens to your “light” when you die?

Therefore, your “light,” that is, the essence of your energy — not to be confused with your actual consciousness — will continue to echo throughout space until the end of time. If nothing else can assuage some of the fear of death, the below advice from physicist Aaron Freemen via NPR should do it:

What is the changed state of energy?

A Changed State. As we know through thermodynamics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It simply changes states. The total amount of energy in an isolated system does not, cannot, change. And thanks to Einstein, we also know that matter and energy are two rungs on the same ladder. The universe as a whole is closed.
