After the body dies, does life go on? Is there any proof to the afterlife? My honest answer to that question is yes. As a free thinker and someone who looks for that piece that fits in the mysteries of life, I have always wondered how the concept of the afterlife has fit into science. For many years, I have been so intrigued with quantum physics.But don’t take my word for it! Robert Lanza, MD, claims that quantum physics proves there IS an afterlife. In his book Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys for Understanding the True Nature of The Universe, Lanza proposes a new perspective that our current theories of the physical world do not work and can never be made to work until we account for life and consciousness. One of his main theories is that Life creates the universe and not the other way around. [In] his theory of Biocentrism, Lanza claims that death is an illusion created by our consciousness, and space and time are tools of our mind. With these theories, we have revolutionized our concept of the afterlife and answer the question that life does go on after physical death and fades into the afterlife, where the journey continues.Excerpt adapted from “Faded: The Circle of Life to the Soul” by Trish Avery Background information on Robert Lanza:Robert Lanza M.D. is currently Head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine, and is Chief Scientific Officer of the Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Adjunct Professor at Wake Forest School of Medicine. His research focuses on stem cells and regenerative medicine and their potential to provide therapies for some of the world’s most deadly and debilitating conditions. He has been touted as one of the most respected scientists in the world—a US News & World Report cover story called him a “genius” and a “renegade thinker,” even likening him to Einstein. Q2. Read the passage below. Identify the sample, population and target property used in the study and comment on whether the evidence presented supports the conclusions drawn by the researchers.(10 marks)In order to determine how much Australian’s spend on alcohol per month, Dan Murphy’s conducted a survey of 1000 randomly selected Dan Murphy’s customers. Those selected were offered a $100 Dan Murphy’s gift card for participating in the survey. As such, all 1000 selected customers agreed to participate in the survey. The survey asked participants to keep their receipts from all liquor store purchases for a one-month period. They found that the average Australian household spends just under $130 a month on alcohol. Format to answer:Sample:Population:Target Property: Does the data support the conclusion? Q3. Assuming the premises in the following argument are true, do they support the causal conclusion? Explain your answer.(10 marks)Recent research suggests that air pollution may be a contributing cause of ADHD. Researchers compared rates of ADHD diagnosis and pollution in councils around Australia. They had each council building fitted with an airborne particulate detector and recorded the average particulates in the air each day during the year. They also got all health practitioners who were qualified to diagnose ADHD to send counts of these diagnoses to the council at the end of the year. Results showed that that the more pollution in a council’s average day, the more diagnoses of ADHD there were per year in that council. The researchers imply that the relationship may be due to reduced oxygen available for uptake by the brain.   Social Science Psychology PSYC 1001 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
